Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is B, I know this because I just took a test with this question lol

Answer 2

If 12 correct answers constitute a passing grade on a 20-item true-false exam, the probability that someone will pass is 1/2 if they are guessing.

What is meant by probability?Probability is synonymous with possibility. It is a mathematical branch that deals with the occurrence of a random event. The value ranges from zero to one. Probability has been introduced in mathematics to predict the likelihood of events occurring. Probability = the number of possible paths to success. The total number of possibilities For example, the probability of flipping a coin and getting heads is 12, because there is only one way to get a head and there are two possible outcomes.

Therefore,

Let X denote the number of correctly answered questions out of a total of 20.

Bernoulli trails are formed by repeated coin tosses. Because the "head" on a coin represents the correct answer and the "tail" represents the incorrect answer, the questions that are correctly answered are Bernoulli trials.

[tex]$&\therefore \mathrm{p}=\frac{1}{2} \\[/tex]

[tex]&\therefore \mathrm{q}=1-\mathrm{p}=1-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

X follows a binomial distribution with n = 20 and p = 1/2

[tex]&\therefore P(X=x)={ }^n C_x q^{n-x} p^x \\[/tex]

[tex]&={ }^{20} C_x\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{20-x} \cdot\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^x \\[/tex]

[tex]&={ }^{20} C_x\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{20}[/tex]

P ( at least 12 questions answered correctly )= P (X ≥ 12)

[tex]&=\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{X}=12)+\mathrm{P}[/tex][tex](\mathrm{X}=13)+\ldots+\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{X}=20) \\[/tex]

[tex]&={ }^{20} \mathrm{C}_{12}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{20}+{ }^{20}[/tex][tex]\mathrm{C}_{13}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{20}+\ldots+{ }^{20}[/tex][tex]\mathrm{C}_{20}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{20} \\[/tex]

[tex]&=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{20} \cdot\left[{ }^{20} \mathrm{C}_{12}+{ }^{20} \mathrm{C}_{13}+\ldots+{ }^{20} \mathrm{C}_{20}\right][/tex]

Hence, If 12 correct answers constitute a passing grade on a 20-item true-false exam, the probability that someone will pass is 1/2 if they are guessing.

The complete question is:

In an examination, 20 questions of true-false type are asked. Suppose a student tosses a fair coin to determine his answer to each question. If the coin falls heads, he answers 'true', if it falls tails, he answers 'false'. Find the probability that he answers at least 12 questions correctly.

$7.80

Answers

The answer is A, just so you know this was the best math class I’ve ever been in

A percentage is a way to describe a part of a whole. The amount paid by Marta for the cookbook is $7.80.

What are Percentages?

A percentage is a way to describe a part of a whole. such as the fraction ¼ can be described as 0.25 which is equal to 25%.

To convert a fraction to a percentage, convert the fraction to decimal form and then multiply by 100 with the '%' symbol.

As it is given that the original price of the cookbook was $13, Marta bought it for 40% off. Therefore, Marta only paid 60% of the original cost,

[tex]\text{Amount paid by Marta} = \text{60\% of the original cost}\\\\\text{Amount paid by Marta} = \dfrac{60}{100} \times \$13\\\\\text{Amount paid by Marta} = \$7.8[/tex]

Thus, the amount paid by Marta for the cookbook is $7.80.

Find the general solution of y''' + 9y'' + y' − 111y = 0 if it is known that y1 = e−6x cos(x) is one solution.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\mathbf{y(x) = \dfrac{(c_1 + c_2) \ cos (x)}{e^{6x} }+ \dfrac{i(c_1 -c_2) \ sin (x)}{e^{6x}}+ c_3e^{3\ x}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The objective of this question is to solve:

[tex]\dfrac{dy(x)}{dx}+ 9\dfrac{d^2y(dx)}{dx^2}+\dfrac{d^3y(x)}{dx^3}-111y(x) = 0 :[/tex]

Suppose the general solution is proportional to [tex]e^{\lambda x}[/tex] for [tex]\lambda[/tex] is constant; Then:

Let's replace [tex]y(x) = e^{\lambda\ x}[/tex] into the above equation:

i.e.

[tex]\dfrac{d^3}{dx^3}(e ^{\lambda x} )+ 9 \dfrac{d^2}{dx^2}(e ^{\lambda x} ) + \dfrac{d}{dx}(e ^{\lambda x} )- 111 \ e ^{\lambda x} = 0[/tex]

To Replace:

[tex]\dfrac{d^3}{dx^3}(e ^{\lambda x} )[/tex] with [tex]\lambda^3 e ^{\lambda x }[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{d^2}{dx^2}(e ^{\lambda x} ) \ with \ \lambda^2 e^{\lambda\ x}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{d}{dx}(e ^{\lambda x} ) \ with \ \lambda e ^{\lambda \ x}[/tex]

Thus;

[tex]\lambda^3 e ^{\lambda x }[/tex] + [tex]9 \lambda^2 e^{\lambda\ x}[/tex] + [tex]\lambda e ^{\lambda \ x}[/tex] - 111 [tex]e ^{\lambda \ x}[/tex] = 0

[tex]e ^{\lambda \ x} (\lambda ^3 + 9 \lambda ^2 + \lambda - 111 )= 0[/tex]

In as much as [tex]e^{ \lambda x}\neq 0[/tex] for any finite [tex]\lambda[/tex]; Then:

[tex]\lambda ^3 + 9 \lambda ^2 + 111 = 0[/tex]

By Factorization:

[tex](\lambda - 3) ( \lambda ^2 + 12 \lambda + 37) = 0[/tex]

[tex]\lambda = -6 + i \ or\ \lambda = -6 - i \ or \ \lambda = 3[/tex]

However;

The root [tex]\lambda = -6 \pm i[/tex] yield;

[tex]y_1 = (x) = c_1 e ^ {(-6+i)x}[/tex]

[tex]y_2 (x) = c_2e^{(-6-i)x}[/tex]

The root [tex]\lambda = 3[/tex] yield;

[tex]y_3(x) = c_3 e^{3x}[/tex]

The general solution is:

[tex]y(x) = y_1(x) + y_2(x) + y_3(x) = \dfrac{c_1}{c^{(6-i)}x}+\dfrac{c_2}{c^{(6+i)}x}+ c_3e^{3x}[/tex]

Using Euler's Identity ;

[tex]e^{\alpha+i \beta} = e^\alpha \ cos (\beta ) + i \ e^\alpha \ sin ( \beta)[/tex]

[tex]y(x) = c_1 ( \dfrac{cos (x) }{e^{6x}}+ \dfrac{i \ sin x }{e^{6x} }) + c_2 ( \dfrac{cos (x)}{e^{6x}}- \dfrac{-i \ sin (x)}{e^{6x}})+c_3 e^{3x}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{y(x) = \dfrac{(c_1 + c_2) \ cos (x)}{e^{6x} }+ \dfrac{i(c_1 -c_2) \ sin (x)}{e^{6x}}+ c_3e^{3\ x}}[/tex]

Which order pairs are solutions to the equation 4x+2y=4

Answer:

Slope=2.000/4.000

​ −2.000x−intercept= 22

​  =1y−intercept= 12

=2.00000

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    4*x+2*y-(4)=0

 Pull out like factors :

  4x + 2y - 4  =   2 • (2x + y - 2)

Solve :    2   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A non-zero constant never equals zero.

 Solve   2x+y-2  = 0

Tiger recognizes that we have here an equation of a straight line. Such an equation is usually written y=mx+b ("y=mx+c" in the UK).

"y=mx+b" is the formula of a straight line drawn on Cartesian coordinate system in which "y" is the vertical axis and "x" the horizontal axis.

In this formula :

y tells us how far up the line goes

x tells us how far along

m is the Slope or Gradient i.e. how steep the line is

b is the Y-intercept i.e. where the line crosses the Y axis

The X and Y intercepts and the Slope are called the line properties. We shall now graph the line  2x+y-2  = 0 and calculate its properties

Notice that when x = 0 the value of y is 2/1 so this line "cuts" the y axis at y= 2.00000

 y-intercept = 2/1  =  2.00000

When y = 0 the value of x is 1/1 Our line therefore "cuts" the x axis at x= 1.00000

 x-intercept = 2/2  =  1

Slope is defined as the change in y divided by the change in x. We note that for x=0, the value of y is 2.000 and for x=2.000, the value of y is -2.000. So, for a change of 2.000 in x (The change in x is sometimes referred to as "RUN") we get a change of -2.000 - 2.000 = -4.000 in y. (The change in y is sometimes referred to as "RISE" and the Slope is m = RISE / RUN)

   Slope     = -4.000/2.000 = -2.000

A and B are complementary angles. If mA = (2x + 30)° and mB = (7x – 3), then find the measure of B.

Answers

Answer:

mB=46

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+30+7x-3=90

Combine like terms

9x+27=90

Subtract by 27 on both sides

9x=63

Divide by 9 on both sides

x=7

mB=(7x-3)

Substitute 7 for x

mB= 7(7)-3

mB= 49-3

mB=46

Answer:

The measure of B is 46°

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation, you need to add the two equations, and set them equal to 90° since they are complementary angles

2x+30+7x-3=90

You also need to add like terms, so 2x+7x and 30+-3, or 30-3

9x+27=90

Then you need to isolate the variable by subtracting 27 from both sides

9x+27-27=90-27

=

9x=63

Then you need to divide both sides by 9 to get x=7

Since we know what x is, we plug x into the equation (7x-3) and we will now have 7(7)-3.

To solve this, we multiply 7 and 7, and subtract 3 to get 46.

So the answer is mB=46

Answers

Answer:

Since Kyle invested $500 and received $650 after three years, the value of Kyles's interest rate is 43.3%.

Given the following data:

Principal = $500Simple interest = $650Time = 3 years

To calculate the value of Kyles's interest rate:

Mathematically, simple interest is given by the formula:

[tex]S.I = \frac{PRT}{100}[/tex]

Where:

S.I is the simple interest.P is the principal amount.R is the interest rate.T is the time measured in years.

Making R the subject of formula, we have:

[tex]R = \frac{100S.I}{PT}[/tex]

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

[tex]R = \frac{100 \times 650}{500 \times 3}\\\\R = \frac{65000}{1500}[/tex]

Interest rate, R = 43.3%
