A box contains 6 black pens, 4 blue pens, and 7 red pens. Without looking, Clarissa randomly picks a black pen out of the box. If she chooses another pen out of the box without replacing the first one, what is the probability that she will pick a black pen both times? Write your answer as a percent.
Group of answer choices

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

31.35%

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial reading:

In the box, there are:

6 Black pens4 blue pens7 red pens

Total number of pens in the box = 6 + 4 + 7

= 17

If we count pens as outcomes the total number of possible outcomes are 17.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

New reading:

Clarissa takes out a black pen from the box.

That reduces the number of black pens by 1 which increases the total number of pens by 1 as well.

So now:

Number of black pens = 6 - 1 = 5 Total number of pens = 17 - 1 = 16

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Probability:

[tex] \boxed{ \mathsf{probability = \frac{favorable \: outcomes}{total \: outcomes} }}[/tex]

If we want her to pick up a black pen, and she ends up picking one. So, we can say that the outcome is in our favor.

That makes it,

the number of favorable outcomes = number of black pens

= 5

and total outcomes = Total number of pens

= 16

[tex] \implies\mathsf{probability = \frac{5}{16} }[/tex]

For showing it as some percent we'll just multiply the fraction by 100

[tex] \implies \mathsf{ \frac{5}{16} \times 100 }[/tex]

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

As a percent:

[tex] \implies \mathsf{ \underline{ 31.25 \: \% } }[/tex]

What are the values of the two angles?

Answers

Answer:

the angle 3x is 42 degrees, the angle 12x-30=138 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

first, write an equation to represent the problem.

3x+(12x-30)=180

3x+12x=210

15x=210

x=14

Answer:

See below:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! My name is Galaxy and I will be helping you today. I hope you are having a nice day.

We can solve this problem in 2 steps, one being Theory and the second being Solving. I'll start off with Theory.

Theory

There are many theorems in Geometry, from the very simple to the very complex, you also have got the standard information that is usually known by many people.

In this case, we can see that it is a Supplementary Angle. We know that Supplementary Angles add up to 180 degrees and Complementary Angles add up to 90 degrees.

Now that we know that we can solve the problem.

Solving

So, we know that both angles have to add up to 180 degrees because the line is a straight line and that means that the angles on it must be 180 degrees.

Since we know this, we can state the following equation:

[tex]3x+12x-30=180[/tex]

We can say this due to the rule of Supplementary angles adding up to 180 degrees.

We can now use Algebra to simplify the equation:

[tex]3x+12x-30=180\\3x+12x=210\\15x=210\\x=14[/tex]

After doing algebra we can see that x s equal to 14 degrees, we can check our answers by putting that back into the equation.

[tex]3(14)+12(14)-30=180?\\42+168-30=180?\\210-30=180?\\180=180[/tex]

We have proven that our answer is correct, therefore the answer is [tex]x=14[/tex] degrees.

Does the point (4, 10) satisfy the inequality y greater than or equal to 2x + 2?

Answers

Answer:

Yes, the point (4,10) satisfies the inequality.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to answer this question, we can plug the values x = 4 and y = 10 into the inequality:

y ≥ 2x + 2

10 ≥ 2(4) + 2

Then solve:

10 ≥ 8 + 2

10 ≥ 10

Since the value 10 is greater than or equal to itself, the inequality is true at the point (4,10).

a farmer wants to fence in a rectangular plot of land adjacent to the north wall of his barn. no fencing is needed along the barn, and the fencing along the west side of the plot is shared with a neighbor who will split the cost of that portion of the fence. if the fencing costs per linear foot to install and the farmer is not willing to spend more than , find the dimensions for the plot that would enclose the most area.

Answers

The constraint for the maximum enclosed area is the amount the farmer is

willing to spend on fencing.

The width of the plot that will give the most area, y = 83.[tex]\underline{\overline 3}[/tex] feet

The length of the plot that will give the most area, y = 125 feet

Reasons:

The given parameters are;

The cost of fencing per foot = $20

The maximum amount the farmer is willing to spend = $5000

Number of sides of fencing = 3 sides

Cost of the west side of the = Split with neighbor

Solution:

Let, y, represent the length of the fence, and let x represent the width of

the fence, we have;

Length of fence required = y + 2·x

Cost of the fence = 20·y + 20·x + (20÷2)·x = 20·y + 30·x

Therefore;

Maximum amount to be spent on the fence, 5000 = 20·y + 30·x

[tex]\therefore y = \dfrac{5000 - 30 \cdot x}{20} = 250 - \dfrac{3}{2} \cdot x[/tex]

[tex]y = \mathbf{250 - \dfrac{3}{2} \cdot x}[/tex]

Area of a rectangle = Length × Width

The enclosed rectangular area of the fencing, A = y × x

[tex]\therefore A = \left(250 - \dfrac{3}{2} \cdot x\right) \cdot x = 250 \cdot x - \dfrac{3}{2} \cdot x^2[/tex]

[tex]\therefore A = -\mathbf{ \dfrac{3}{2} \cdot x^2 + 250 \cdot x}[/tex]

The leading coefficient of the quadratic function of the area is negative,

therefore, the function only has a maximum point.

At the point of the most area, the slope, [tex]\dfrac{dA}{dx} = 0[/tex]

Finding the value of x at the maximum point, we get;

[tex]\dfrac{dA}{dx} = \mathbf{ \dfrac{d}{dx} \left( 250 \cdot x - \dfrac{3}{2} \cdot x^2\right)} = 250- 3 \cdot x = 0[/tex]

Therefore;

[tex]\mathrm{ The \ width \ of \ the \ plot \ that \ will \ enclose \ the \ area}, \ x = \dfrac{250}{3} \ feet = \underline{83.\overline 3 \ feet}[/tex]

[tex]\mathrm{ The \ length \ of \ the \ plot \ that \ will \ enclose \ the \ area}, \ y = 250 - \dfrac{3}{2} \times \dfrac{250}{3} = 125[/tex]

The length of the plot that will give the most area, y = 125 feet

Answers

Answer:

34

Step-by-step explanation:

f(-3) = -3(-3) +7

f(-3) = 16

g(3) = -7(3) +3

g(3)= -18

16 -(-18) = 34

Answer:

34

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = -3x + 7

f(-3) = -3(-3) + 7

= 9 + 7 (two negatives make a positive)

= 16

g(x) = -7x + 3

g(3) = -7(3) + 3

= -21 + 3

= -18

16 - (-18)

16 + 18 (two negatives make a positive

= 34

Find the 59th term of the arithmetic sequence 26, 17, 8, ...26,17,8,

Step-by-step explanation:

arithmetic sequence means that every new term is created by adding a certain constant to the previous term.

we clearly see, that constant here is -9.

we start with 26.

a1 = 26

a2 = a1 - 9 = 26 - 9 = 17

a3 = a2 - 9 = a1 - 2×9 = 26 - 18 = 8

so, we see

an = an-1 - 9 = a1 - (n-1)×9 = 26 - (n-1)×9

a59 = 26 - 58×9 = -496
