w(a)=a-1; find w(0)

Answer:

a)  1/10 x 5/10 = 1/20

b) 1/10 x 5/9 = 1/18

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Probability of selecting one biography and then one mystery, with replacement: 1/20

b) Probability of selecting one biography and then one mystery, without replacement: approximately 0.0556 or 5.56%.

The probability of each situation can be calculated as follows:

a) Selecting one biography and then one mystery, with replacement:

With replacement means that after each selection, the book is put back on the shelf before the next selection.

The probability of selecting the biography first is 1 out of 10 books (since there is 1 biography out of 10 books).

The probability of selecting the mystery book next is 5 out of 10 books (since there are 5 mysteries out of 10 books).

The overall probability is the product of the individual probabilities:

Probability = (1/10) * (5/10) = 1/20

So, the probability of selecting one biography and then one mystery, with replacement, is 1/20.

b) Selecting one biography and then one mystery, without replacement:

Without replacement means that after each selection, the book is not put back on the shelf before the next selection.

The probability of selecting the biography first is still 1 out of 10 books.

However, after selecting the biography, there are now 9 books left on the shelf, and the probability of selecting a mystery is 5 out of 9 books (since there are 5 mysteries out of the remaining 9 books).

The overall probability is the product of the individual probabilities:

Probability = (1/10) * (5/9) ≈ 0.0556 or 5.56%

So, the probability of selecting one biography and then one mystery, without replacement, is approximately 0.0556 or 5.56%.

Answer:

No, it cannot.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you multiply a factor 1 or greater, the product gets larger. However, when you are multiplying decimals, the product gets smaller. (Ex. When you multiply 0.1 [or 0.10], you are making the product ten times as small.)

Answer:

x=5/4, y=7/4

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a similar triangles problem.

The first triangle (the smaller one) has the lengths 5, 8 and 7.

The second triangle (the lager one) has the lengths 5+x, 10, and 7+y

Let's first solve for x

In any similar triangles problem, you can make two ratios (all the ratios of the sides are the same)

since we don't know the measures for x and y first, we can use the ratio of the parallel lines (the bases) as the first ratio (8/10)

For the second ratio, it's smaller/bigger, so it'll be 5/(x+5)

here's the proportion

5/(x+5)=8/10

But before we multiply, we can simplify 8/10 to 4/5

so

5/(x+5)=4/5

Cross multiply

25=4x+20

5=4x

5/4=x

For y, we can do a similar process

We can use 8/10 or 4/5 again

and the ratio of the sides for y will be 7/(y+7)

7/(y+7)=4/5

35=4y+28

7=4y

7/4=y

Hope this helps!

Answer:

4 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Paulina has a suitcase full of clothes that weighs 4 4/7pounds. Rebecca has a suitcase full of clothes that weighs

7/8 of Paulina's suitcase. How many pounds does Rebecca's suitcase weigh?

Weight of Paulina's suitcase = 4 4/7 pounds = 32/7 pounds

Weight of Rebecca's suitcase = 7/8 of Paulina's suitcase

Hence, the weight of Rebecca's suitcase in pounds = 7/8 of 32/7 pounds

= 7/8 × 32/7

= 4 pounds

Therefore, Rebecca's suitcase weighs 4 pounds.

Answer:

Max is 17 years old and Bert is 11 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

System of Equations

Let's call

x = current age of Max

y = current age of Bert

x - 5 = age of Max five years ago

y - 5 = age of Bert five years ago

x + 1 = age of Max one year from now

y + 1 = age of Bert one year from now

According to the conditions of the problem:

x - 5 = 2(y - 5)        [1]

x + 1 + y + 1 = 30        [2]

Operating and simplifying [1]:

x - 5 = 2y - 10

x = 2y - 5       [3]

Operating and simplifying [2]:

x + y + 2 = 30

x + y = 28        [4]

Substituting [3] in [4]:

2y - 5 + y = 28

Simplifying:

3y - 5 = 28

3y = 33

y = 33/3

y = 11

From [3]:

x = 2*11 - 5

x = 22 - 5

x = 17

Max is 17 years old and Bert is 11 years old

Answer: minimum value of f = -2  and maximum value  of f = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

f(x, y) = xy; 4x² + y² = 8

S(x,y) = xy + λ(4x² + y² - 8)

dS/dλ = 4x² + y² - 8 = 0

dS/dx = y + 8λx = 0 -> y = -8λx  

dS/dy = x + 2yλ = 0 -> x + 2λ(-8λx) = x(1 - 16λ²) = x(1-4λ)(1+4λ) = 0

-> x = 0 , λ = 1/4 , λ = -1/4

x = 0 -> y = 0 -> it doesn't satisfy 4x² + y² = 8

λ = 1/4 -> y = -8λx = -2x -> 4x² + y² = 8x² = 8 -> x = -1 , 1 -> y = 2 , -2

λ = -1/4 -> y = -8λx = 2x -> 4x² + y² = 8x² = 8 -> x = -1 , 1 -> y = -2 , 2

we have 4 critical points:

(-1, 2) -> f = -2

(1, 2) -> f = 2

(-1, -2) -> f = 2

(1 , -2) -> f = -2  

Therefore; minimum value of f = -2  and maximum value  of f = 2

Answer:

Jenn's account

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

LINDSAY'S ACCOUNT :

Principal = amount deposited = $250

Final Amount after 1 year = $253

Period (t) = 1 year

JENN'S ACCOUNT :

Principal = amount deposited = $250

Final Amount after 2 years = $257.50

Period (t) = 2 year

Using the relation :

A = P(1 + rt)

A = final amount ; r = interest rate ; t = time

Lindsay :

253 = 250(1 + r(1))

253 = 250 + 250r

253 - 250 = 250r

3 = 250r

r = 3/250

r = 0.012 ; (0.012 * 100) = 1.2%

Jenn:

257.50 = 250(1 + r(2))

257.50 = 250 + 500r

257.50 - 250 = 500r

7.50 = 500r

r = 7.50/500

r = 0.015 ; (0.015 * 100) = 1.5%

Hence, JENN'S deposit has the greater interest rate. (1.5 > 1.2)%

Answer:Sample response:Lindsay’s interest is $3 for one year. Using the formula for interest, I = prt, Lindsey’s money is earning at a rate of 1.2%. Jenn has earned $3.75 for one year. Her money is earning at a rate of 1.5%, which is a higher interest rate.

Answer:

  points closest to zero will give the least change; those farthest away will give the greatest change. Listing the points in order by distance from 0 will put them in order by amount of change.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of change is the absolute value of the number on the number line. That value is the (positive) distance from 0. The numbers will most easily be compared if they are all put on one side of zero. For example, -1.75 and 1.75 are the same distance from zero, as are -3.25 and 3.25.

Listing the points in order by distance from 0 will put them in order by amount of change. In order, least change to greatest change, the numbers are ...

  -1.75, 2.50, -3.25, -3.50, 4.75

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

                                                      Part a)

Given the table

Year             Value ($)

1                    18,000

2                   15,300                

3                   13,005

Let us check the sequence

18000, 15300, 13005,...

Let us find the common ratio 'r' of all the adjacent terms to check whether the sequence represents the geometric sequence or not, using the formula such as:

[tex]\:r=\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{15300}{18000}=\frac{17}{20},\:\quad \frac{13005}{15300}=\frac{17}{20}[/tex]

As the ratio of all the adjacent terms is the same, so

[tex]r=\frac{17}{20}[/tex]

Therefore, the given sequence is a geometric sequence

                                                  Part b)

Given the sequence

18000, 15300, 13005,...

The nth term of the geometric sequence is

[tex]a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}[/tex]

here

[tex]a_1=18000[/tex]

[tex]r=\frac{17}{20}[/tex]

so

[tex]a_n=18000\left(\frac{17}{20}\right)^{n-1}[/tex]

In order to determine the car worth in the 15th year, substitute n = 15

[tex]a_{15}=18000\left(\frac{17}{20}\right)^{15-1}[/tex]

[tex]a_{15}=18000\frac{17^{14}}{20^{14}}[/tex]

[tex]a_{15}=18000\times \:\:0.10276[/tex]

[tex]a_{15}=1850[/tex] $

Therefore, the worth of a car in the 15th year will be: $1850

Answer:

  slope = k/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope formula is useful for finding slope.

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

  m = (5k -7k)/(-3 -1)

  m = -2k/-4

  m = k/2

The slope is k/2.

Answer:

∆ABC and ∆XYZ cannot be proven to be congruent to each other according to the Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) Congruence criteria.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) Congruence criteria says that two triangles are congruent to each other if two angles and an included side of one triangle is congruent to two corresponding angles and a corresponding included side of the other triangle.

In the diagram given, the two angles were given (<B and <C), however, the side given (side AB) does not lie in the middle of <B and <C, hence it is NOT AN INCLUDED SIDE. The same applies to ∆XYZ.

Therefore, ∆ABC and ∆XYZ cannot be proven to be congruent to each other according to the Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) Congruence criteria.
