What is the probability of tossing a penny and landing on heads 3 times in a row

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Suppose you have a fair coin: this means it has a 50% chance of landing heads up and a 50% chance of landing tails up. Suppose you flip it three times and these flips are independent. What is the probability that it lands heads up, then tails up, then heads up? So the answer is 1/8, or 12.5%.

Jai bought a helmet and a pair of skates.
The helmet cost £45.
He sold both items for £224.
Jai made a 120% profit on the cost of the helmet and a 40% profit on the total cost.
What was the percentage profit on the skates?
Give your answer to 1 decimal place.

Answers

Answer:

Profit % on skates = 8.7 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 : Find cost price of skates

Cost price of helmet = £45

Let cost price of skate be = x

Selling price = £224

Cost price = (x + 45)

Total profit % = 40%

[tex]Profit \% = \frac{Selling \ price - cost \ price }{Cost \ price} \times 100[/tex]

[tex]\frac{40}{100} = \frac{224 - (x + 45)}{(x + 45)}\\\\40(x+ 45) = 100(224 - (x +45))\\\\40(x + 45) = 22400 - 100(x + 45)\\\\40(x +45) + 100(x+ 45) = 22400\\\\140(x + 25) = 22400\\\\x + 45 = \frac{22400}{140}\\\\x = 160 - 45 = \£ \ 115[/tex]

Total cost price = 45 + 115 = £160

Step 2 : Selling price of Helmet

Cost price of Helmet = £45

Let selling price of helmet be = y

Profit % of helmet = 120 %

[tex]Profit \% = \frac{selling \ price - cost \ price}{cost \ price}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{120}{100} = \frac{y -45}{45}\\\\\frac{120 \times 45}{100} = y -45\\\\54 = y - 45\\\\99 = y[/tex]

Step 3 : Selling price of skates

Total selling = selling price of helmet + selling price of skates

224 = 99 + selling price of skates

224 - 99 = selling price of skates

125 = selling price of skates

Step 4 : Profit percentage on skates

Cost price of skate = £ 115

Selling price of skate = £ 125

[tex]Profit \% \ on \ skates = \frac{selling\ price- cost \ price }{cost \ price} \times 100[/tex]

                           [tex]= \frac{125-115}{115} \times 100\\\\=\frac{10}{115} \times 100\\\\= 8.7 \%[/tex]

Hi, there the answer is

These are the equations with exactly one solution

-5x + 12 = –12x – 12

-5x + 12 = 5x + 12

-5x + 12 = 5x – 5

Hope This Helps :)

Step-by-step explanation:

First degree equations

A first degree equation has the form

ax + b = 0

There are some special cases where the equation can have one, infinitely many or no solution

If , the equation has exactly one solution

If a=0 and b=0 the equation has infinitely many solutions, because it doesn't matter the value of x, it will always be true that 0=0

If a=0 and  the equation has no solution, because it will be equivalent to b=0 and we are saying it's not true. No matter what x is, it's a false statement.

We have been given some equations, we only need to put them in standard form

-5x + 12 = –12x – 12

Rearranging

7x + 24 = 0

It has exactly one solution because a is not zero

.......................

-5x + 12 = 5x + 12

Rearranging

-10x + 0 = 0

It has exactly one solution because a is not zero

.......................

-5x + 12 = 5x – 5

Rearranging

-10x + 17 = 0

It has exactly one solution because a is not zero

.......................

-5x + 12 = -5x – 12

Rearranging

0x + 24 = 0

It has no solution, no matter what the value of x is, it's impossible that 24=0

Answer: These are the equations with exactly one solution

-5x + 12 = –12x – 12

-5x + 12 = 5x + 12

-5x + 12 = 5x – 5

Answer:

3/14

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability = # of favorable outcomes / # of possible outcomes

Favorable outcomes = we want to find the probability of pulling a blue marble. There are 3 blue marbles so 3 is the number of favorable outcomes

Possible outcomes: to find the number of possible outcomes we simply find the total number of marbles

3 + 7 + 4 which equals 14

So possible outcomes = 14

We now plug in the values into the probability formula

The probability of pulling a blue marble is 3/14

Answer:

3/14

Step-by-step explanation:

you add the red marbles, blue marbles, and green marbles together, which equal 14. Out of the 14, there are only 3 blue marbles so it would be 3/14.

Use implicit differentiation to find an equation of the tangent line to the curve at the given point. y2(y2 − 4) = x2(x2 − 5) (0, −2) (devil's curve)

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

[tex]y^2 (y^2-4) = x^2(x^2 -5)[/tex]

at point (0, -2)

[tex]\implies y^4 -4y^2 = x^4 -5x^2[/tex]

Taking the differential from the equation above with respect to x;

[tex]4y^3 \dfrac{dy}{dx}-8y \dfrac{dy}{dx}= 4x^3 -10x[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex](4y^3 -8y)\dfrac{dy}{dx}= 4x^3 -10x[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{dy}{dx}= \dfrac{4x^3 -10x}{4y^3-8y}[/tex]

Hence, the slope of the tangent line m can be said to be:

[tex]\dfrac{dy}{dx}= \dfrac{4x^3 -10x}{4y^3-8y}[/tex]

At point (0,-2)

[tex]\dfrac{dy}{dx}= \dfrac{4(0)^3 -10(0)}{4(-2)^3-8-(2)}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{dy}{dx}= \dfrac{0 -0}{4(-8)+16}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{dy}{dx}= 0[/tex]

m = 0

So, we now have the equation of the tangent line with slope m = 0 moving through the point (x, y) = (0, -2) to be:

(y - y₁ = m(x - x₁))

y + 2 = 0(x - 0)

y + 2 = 0

y = -2

Answer: [tex]y=-\frac{1}{2} x+8[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation of a line can be in slope intercept form which is y=mx+b

m is the slope, b is the y intercept, x it the x coordinate, and y is the y coordinate. Since we know the slope is -1/2 and we know a x coordinate is -4 and a y coordinate is 10 we can sub them in and solve for the value of b.

[tex]y=mx+b\\10=(-\frac{1}{2})(-4)+b\\10=2+b\\10-2=2+b-2\\8=b[/tex]

The value of b is 8. We can now sub it in for our equation of the line. This time with x and y as variables.

You deposit $10,000 in an account earning 4% interest compounded monthly. a. How much will you have in the account in 25 years? b. How much interest will you earn?

Answers

Answer:

In 25 years I will have $ 27,137.65. Therefore, I will earn $17,137.65 interest.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that I deposit $ 10,000 in an account earning 4% interest compounded monthly, to determine how much will you have in the account in 25 years and how much interest will I earn, the following calculation must be performed:

10,000 x (1 + 0.04 / 12) ^ 25x12 = X

10,000 x (1 + 0.00333) ^ 300 = X

10,000 x 2.7137 = X

27,137.65 = X

Therefore, in 25 years I will have $ 27,137.65. Therefore, I will earn $17,137.65 interest.

Which of these statements is correct? The system of linear equations 6 x minus 5 y = 8 and 12 x minus 10 y = 16 has no solution. The system of linear equations 7 x + 2 y = 6 and 14 x + 4 y = 16 has an infinite number of solutions. The system of linear equations 8 x minus 3 y = 10 and 16 x minus 6 y = 22 has no solution. The system of linear equations 9 x + 6 y = 14 and 18 x + 12 y = 26 has an infinite number of solutions

Answers

Answer:

The only true statement is:

"The system of linear equations 8x - 3y = 10 and 16x - 6y = 22 has no solution."

Step-by-step explanation:

First, some definitions.

A system of linear equations has infinite solutions if both equations define the same line, has no solutions if we have two parallel lines, has one solution in all the other cases.

Where two lines are parallel if we can write them as:

a*x + b*y = c

a*x + b*y = d

where c and d are different numbers.

Now we can analyze the given statements:

a)

6x - 5y = 8

12x - 10y = 16

has no solution?

If we divide both sides of the second equation by 2, we get:

(12x - 10y)/2 = 16/2

6x - 5y = 8

We get the first equation, then both equations define the same line, thus the system has infinite solutions, then the statement is false.

b)

7x + 2y = 6

14x + 4y = 16

has infinite solutions?

Let's divide the second equation by 2, then we get:

(14x + 4y)/2 = 16/2

7x + 2y = 8

If we rewrite our system of equations, we get:

7x + 2y = 6

7x + 2y = 8

These are parallel lines, thus, this system has no solutions.

So the statement is false.

c)

8x - 3y = 10

16x - 6y = 22

has no solution?

Again, let's divide the second equation by 2 to get:

(16x - 6y)/2 = 22/2

8x - 3y = 11

If we rewrite our system:

8x - 3y = 10

8x - 3y = 11

These are parallel lines, thus the system has no solutions, so this statement is correct.

d)

9x + 6y = 14

18x + 12y = 26

Has infinite solutions?

Dividing the second equation by 2 we get:

(18x + 12y)/2 = 26/2

9x + 6y = 13

So the equations are different (are parallel lines again) so this system has not infinite solutions.

Then the statement is false.

Answer:

The answer to your question is the third choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

a)          6x - 5y = 8

          12x - 10y = 16

We observe that these lines are the same so they have infinite solutions.

b)

           7x + 2y = 6

          14x + 4y = 16

These lines are parallel because they have the same slope, so they do not cross, there is no solution.

c)

            8x - 3y = 10

           16x - 6y = 22

These lines are parallel because they have the same slope, so they do not cross, there is no solution.

d)

           9x + 6y = 14

          18x + 12y = 26

These lines are parallel because they have the same slope, so they do not cross, they do not have an infinite number of solutions.

For any isosceles triangle, the base angles are congruent. The base angles are opposite the congruent sides. We see that angle O = angle H.

O+H+T = 180

H+H+T = 180

2H+T = 180

Answer:

after 10 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of months and y be the amount they still owe.

Sin Ian borrows $1000 from his parents, then the y-intercept b= 1000 since he owes $1000 when x = 0. He pays them back $60 each month The slope is then m = -60 . Substituting in b = 1000 and m = -60 into the slope-intercept form of a line then gives y= mx + b=-60x +1000.

Sin Ken borrows $600 from his parents, then the y-intercept b = 600 since he owes $600 When x= 0. He pays them back $20 per month so the amount he owes decreases $20 each month. The slope is then m = -20 . Substituting in

b= 600 and m = -20 into the slope-intercept form then gives y = mx +b = -20x + 600.

They will owe the same amount when they have the same y-coordinate. Therefore -60x+ 1000= y= -20x+600. Solve this equation for x:

-60x+ 1000 = -20x+ 600

1000 = 40x+ 600

400 = 40x

10=x

They will then owe the same amount after 10 months.

2 x 3 = 6 cm^2 (the back square)

2 x 5 = 10 cm^2 (the slanted square)

*I'm not sure if this question includes the bottom of the triangle but here it is anyways

4 x 2 = 8 cm^2

Including the bottom the SA of the triangular figure is:

12 + 6 + 10 + 8 = 36 cm^2

Find the SA of the rectangular shape

4 x 2 = 8 cm^2 (the bottom square)

2 x 6 = 12 x 2 = 24 cm^2 (the sides)

4 x 6 = 24 x 2 = 48 cm^2 (the front and back)

Add them up

8 + 24 + 48 = 80 cm^2

If you wanted to find the SA of the whole figure it would be:

12 + 6 + 10 + 8 + 24 + 48 = 108 cm^2
