Answer:

Probability = \frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Set:\ \{1, 2, 3, \ldots, 24\}

n(Set) = 24

Required

Determine the probability of selecting a factor of 4!

First, we have to calculate 4!

4! = 4 * 3 * 2 * 1

4! = 24

Then, we list set of all factors of 24

Factors:\ \{1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24\}

n(Factors) = 8

The probability of selecting a factor if 24 is calculated as:

Probability = \frac{n(Factor)}{n(Set)}

Substitute values for n(Set) and n(Factors)

Probability = \frac{8}{24}

Simplify to lowest term

Probability = \frac{1}{3}

Consider 8x2 - 48x = -104. Write the equation so that x2 – 6x + (blank) = –13 + (blank)
Monica [59]

Answer:

That (blank) is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please write 8x^2 - 48x = -104, with " ^ " indicating exponentiation.  Thanks.

This sounds like a perfect example of "completing the square."

First, factor 8x^2 - 48x = -104:  8(x^2 - 6x = -13).

If we focus SOLELY on x^2 - 6x = -13, it's just a little easier to "complete the square."  Take half of the coefficient of x (which here is -6), and square that result (which here is (-3)^2, or 9.  Now add 9 both sides of x^2 - 6x = -13:

x^2 - 6x + 9 = -13 + 9.  Note:  The "blank" in the problem statement is 9.  

We could go ahead and solve this, tho' we weren't asked to do so.  Rewrite x^2 - 6x + 9 as (x - 3)^2:

x^2 - 6x = -13 then becomes (x - 3)^2 = 4.  To solve for x, take the sqrt of both sides of this latest result, obtaining x - 3 = plus or minus 2.  Add 3 to both sides to isolate x:  x = 3 plus or minus 2.

Thus, x = 5 or x = 1.

We are given the set of points
<span>{(1, 60), (2, 240), (3, 960), (4, 3840)}{(1, 60), (2, 240), (3, 960), (4, 3840)} 
If w is the function name and t is the input variable, then the equation has the form
w = k a^t
Plugging in any two of the points to solve for k and a
Choosing </span>(1, 60) and (2, 240)<span>
60 = k a
k = 60 / a

240 = k a^2

Substituting
240 = 60/a (a^2)
a = 4
and
k = 60 / 4 = 15

The function is

Jonah studied for 3 hours longer than sierra he also studied for 3 times as many hours as william. these relationships are shown
Lynna [10]

Answer:

Sierra studied 3 hours

William studied 2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

jonah studied 6 hours.

He also studied 3 hours longer than sierra meanining sierra studied 3 hours less than 6 hours.

So, 6 hours minus 3 hours is equals to 3 hours.

With that being said, Sierra has studied 3 hours.

Sierra = 3 hours

The question then states that Jonah studied 3 times as many hours as William.

Reminder: Jonah studied 6 hours in total.

This means that jonahs' hours (6 hours) is equals to 3 times williams hours (3x)

6 hours= 3x                        

x= williams hours

we divide both sides by 3 to see what x is equals to

in other words, we divide Jonahs' hours to see what williams hours are

With that being said, William studied for 2 hours

2 hours = x

Three pounds of squid can be purchased at the market for $18. Determine the equation and represent the function that defines the
olga_2 [115]
From the information given,

3 pounds = $18

Therefore, 1 pound = 18/3 = $6 (this can be treated as a constant of proportionality) such that,

Cost,C = 6*Weight, W (pounds)

Equation;

C = 6W, where C = Cost in $, and W = Weight in pounds.
