0.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a package of self-sticking notepads contains 6 yellow, 6 blue, 6 green, and 6 pink notepads. An experiment consists of randomly selecting one of the notepads and recording its color

The probability that a green notepad is selected given that it is either blue or green is to be found out

Let A = event that selected notepad is green or blue

B = selected notepad is green

The probability that a green notepad is selected given that it is either blue or green is to be found out

= P(B/A)

=P(AB)/P(A)

=Prob (green)/P(green or blue)

= $\frac{\frac{Green}{Total} }{\frac{Green+Blue}{Total} } \\=\frac{6/24}{12/24} \\=0.50$

Neporo4naja [7]

The end of the ray stops the x values from proceeding left at x=0. So your domain is from that point on to infinity. In your solution set x >= 0, since the arrow continues on the right side where x's are positive.

Harper knows he is 50 yards from school. The map on his phone shows that the school is 34 inch from his current location. How fa

laila [671]

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. We know that 1 yard is 36 inches, therefore, 50 yards expressed in inches is:

$(50)(36)=1800in$

2. If he is 50 yards from school and the map shows that the school is 34 inches from his current location, when it shows 3 inches the real distance is:

$\frac{(1800in)(3in)}{34in}=158.82in$

3. If you can to express it in yards:

$\frac{158.82}{36} =4.41 yd$

Therefore, the answer is: 158.82 inches or 4.41 yards.

What is the GCF of x2 and x9?

zepelin [54]

Answer:

x²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the values x² and x^9

The greatest common factor is the factors common to two or more compared values :

Factors of :

x² = x * x

x^9 = x * x * x * x * x * x * x * x * x

Multiplying the Factors in both are : x * x = x²

Similarly :

___|x² | x^9

_ x | x | x^8

_ x | 1 | x^7

There is no factor which can reduce both further simultaneously, Hence the G. C. F = (x * x) = x²

Milton spilled some ink on his homework paper. He can't read the coefficient of $x$, but he knows that the equation has two dist

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

$Sum = -81$

Step-by-step explanation:

See the comment for complete question.

Given

$c = 36$ ----- Constant

No coefficient of x^2

Required:

Determine the sum of all distinct positive integers of the coefficient of x

Reading through the complete question, we can see that the question has 3 terms which are:

x^2 ---- with no coefficient

x ---- with an unknown coefficient

36 ---- constant

So, the equation can be represented as:

$x^2 + ax + 36 = 0$

Where a is the unknown coefficient

From the question, we understand that the equation has two negative integer solution. This can be represented as:

$x = -\alpha$ and $x = -\beta$

Using the above roots, the equation can be represented as:

$(x + \alpha)(x + \beta) = 0$

Open brackets

$x^2 + (\alpha + \beta)x + \alpha \beta = 0$

To compare the above equation to $x^2 + ax + 36 = 0$ , we have:

$a = \alpha + \beta$

$\alpha \beta = 36$

Where: $\alpha, \beta$ and $\alpha \ne \beta$

The values of $\alpha$ and $\beta$ that satisfy $\alpha \beta = 36$ are:

$\alpha = -1$ and $\beta = -36$

$\alpha = -2$ and $\beta = -18$

$\alpha = -3$ and $\beta = -12$

$\alpha = -4$ and $\beta = -9$

So, the possible values of a are:

$a = \alpha + \beta$

When $\alpha = -1$ and $\beta = -36$

$a = -1 - 36 = -37$

When $\alpha = -2$ and $\beta = -18$

$a = -2 - 18 = -20$

When $\alpha = -3$ and $\beta = -12$

$a = -3 - 12 = -15$

When $\alpha = -4$ and $\beta = -9$

$a = -4 - 9 = -13$

At this point, we have established that the possible values of a are: -37, -20, -15 and -9.

The required sum is:

$Sum = -37 -20 -15 - 9$

$Sum = -81$
