Many states use a sequence of three letters followed by a sequence of three digits as their standard license-plate pattern. Given that each three-letter three-digit arrangement is equally likely, what is the probability that a ran- domly chosen license plate contains at least one palindrome (a three-letter arrangement or a three-digit arrangement that reads the same left-to-right as it does right-to-left)?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 26 letters, so there are 26

3

 possible 3-letter sequences.

the number of these which are palindromes can be computed as follows:

26 choices for the first letter

26 choices for the second letter

1 choice for the third letter ( it has to agree with the first)

number of ways  =26

2

Probability of a letter palindrome =26

2

/26

3

=1/26

there are 10 digits, so there are 10

3

 sequences of digits.

Reasoning as above, the number of digit-palindromes is (10)(10)(1)=10

2

so the probability of a digit-palindrome is 10

2

/10

3

=1/10

The events

D - digit palindrome

L - letter palindrome

are independent but not mutually exclusive.

So, P(LorD)=P(L)+P(D)−P(LandD)

P(LorD)=P(L)+P(D)−P(L)P(D)

=1/26+1/10−(1/26)(1/10)

=10/260+26/260−1/260

=35/360=7/52

3. Can a function be its own inverse? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

The function can have its own inverse, that is, [tex]$f^{-1}(x)=f(x)$[/tex] and this type of function is called an involution. Example f(x)=6-x.

Step-by-step explanation:

A statement that a function can be its own inverse is given.

It is required to explain whether a function has its own inverse. Then explain whether the given statement satisfies the condition.

Step 1 of 3

Consider a function is f(x)=6-x.

This function is a continuous function for all values of x. This function is also a linear function. So, every continuous linear function is a one-to-one function.

So, this function is one-to-one.

Step 2 of 3

Consider f(x) as y and rewrite the equation.

The equation becomes [tex]$y=6-x$[/tex]

Solve the rewritten equation.

Add -6 on both sides of the equation.

[tex]$$\begin{aligned}&y=6-x \\&y-6=6-x-6 \\&y-6=-x\end{aligned}$$[/tex]

Step 3 of 3

Multiply by -1 on both sides.

[tex]$$\begin{aligned}&y-6=-x \\&(-1)(y-6)=(-x)(-1) \\&-y+6=x \\&x=6-y\end{aligned}$$[/tex]

Interchange x and y in solved equation.

[tex]$$\begin{aligned}&x=6-y \\&y=6-x\end{aligned}$$[/tex]

So, the inverse of the given function is [tex]$f^{-1}(x)=6-x$[/tex].

The function and inverse of the function are the same, that is, [tex]$f^{-1}(x)=f(x)$[/tex]

So, a function can have its own inverse. This type of function is called an involution.

635. The price that Tyler pays for gas varies directly with the number of gallons he buys. If 24 gallons cost him $59.76, what would 30 gallons cost?

Answers

Answer:

The cost of 30 gallons of gas is $74.7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the price that Tyler pays for gas varies directly with the number of gallons he buys.The cost 24 gallons is $59.76 to him.Now we need to find the cost of 30 gallons.To solve this problem use a direct variation formula.Solve for constant variation.

Step 1 of 3

Here we need to find the cost of 30  gallons.

Given that the price that Tyler pays for gas varies directly with the number of gallons he buys.

The cost of 24  gallons is $59.76  to him.

Let, x  be the number of gallons and y  be the cost or price for gas.

Use the formula for direct variation which is given by y=kx.

Step 2 of 3

Now substitute the value y=$59.76 and x=24.

Put value in y=kx, we get

[tex]$$\begin{aligned}&59.76=k \times 24 \\&k=2.49\end{aligned}$$[/tex]

Substitute value of k is y=kx, we get y=2.49x

Step 3 of 3

Now we need to find the value of y that is the cost for 30 gallons.

Again use direct variation formula y=kx and value of k and x, we get [tex]$y=2.49 \times 30$[/tex]

[tex]$$y=74.7$$[/tex]

Answers

Using a system of equations, it is found that £52 was originally shared.

What is a system of equations?

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

In this problem, the variables are given as follows:

Variable x: Angela's share.Variable y: Michelle's share.Variable z: Daniel's share.

Angela and Michelle shared some money in the ratio 4: 9, hence, considering t as the total:

[tex]x = \frac{4t}{13}[/tex].[tex]y = \frac{9t}{13}[/tex]

Angela gave Daniel half her share.Michelle gave Daniel a third of her share. Daniel was given a total of £20, hence:

[tex]\frac{x}{2} + \frac{y}{3} = 20[/tex]

[tex]\frac{4t}{26} + \frac{9t}{39} = 20[/tex]

[tex]\frac{12t + 18t}{78} = 20[/tex]

30t = 20 x 78

t = 20 x 78/30

t = £52.

Using the median concept, it is found that the interquartile range of Sara's daily miles is of 21 miles.

What are the median and the quartiles of a data-set?

The median of the data-set separates the bottom half from the upper half, that is, it is the 50th percentile.The first quartile is the median of the first half of the data-set.The third quartile is the median of the second half of the data-set.The interquartile range is the difference of the quartiles.

The ordered data-set is given as follows:

65, 72, 86, 88, 91, 93, 97

There are 7 elements, hence the median is the 4th element, of 88. Then:

The first half is 65, 72, 86.The second half is 91, 93, 97.

Since the quartiles are the medians of each half, the have that:

How many solutions does the equation ||2x-3|-m|=m have if m>0?

Answers

There are three solutions of the equation ||2x-3|-m|=m have if m>0.

We have to estimate the number of solutions of the equation ||2x - 3| - m| = m where m > 0.

As we know in the modulus function

|x|= x if x>0

     -x if x<0

      0 if x=0

here given m > 0

if |2x-3|-m>0 then the modulus value will be ||2x-3|-m|=  |2x-3|-m

Then, |2x - 3| - m = m

⇒|2x - 3| = m+m= 2m

⇒2x - 3 = 2m    or      -(2x-3)=2m

⇒2x - 3 = 2m    or      2x-3=-2m

⇒2x = 3 ± 2m

⇒x = (3 ± 2m)/2

⇒x= (3 + 2m)/2  or   (3 - 2m)/2

If  |2x-3|-m<0 then then the modulus value will be | |2x-3|-m| = -(|2x-3|-m)

-(|2x-3|-m)=m

⇒m-|2x-3|=m

⇒-|2x-3|= m-m

⇒ |2x - 3| = 0

⇒2x = 3

⇒x = 3/2

Therefore The solution of the equation will be (3 + 2m)/2, (3 - 2m)/2, and 3/2.

Therefore there are three solutions of the equation ||2x-3|-m|=m have if m>0.

Where a = 45°, adjacent cathetus = x, hypotenuse = √6

Replacing that, we get:
