The probability that the first student is a girl is 5/10.

The probability of the second selection being a boy is 5/9.

(since the first selection was a girl, there are 9 students left) 

The probability that the third student is a girl is 4/8

(there are 4 girls left after one was selected, and 8 students left in total, after the second selection.

The probability is (5/10)(5/9)(4/8)=0.139


Answer: 0.139

3. The area of a rectangular deck, in square meters, is given by the polynomial 40p2 + 24p.
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

Length = 5p + 3

Perimeter = 26p + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Area = 40p² + 24p

Width = 8p

Solving for the length of deck

Given that the deck is rectangular in shape.

The area will be calculated as thus;

Area = Length * Width

Substitute 40p² + 24p and 8p for Area and Width respectively

The formula becomes

40p² + 24p = Length * 8p

Factorize both sides

p(40p + 24) = Length * 8 * p

Divide both sides by P

40p + 24 = Length * 8

Factorize both sides, again

8(5p + 3) = Length * 8

Multiply both sides by ⅛

⅛ * 8(5p + 3) = Length * 8 * ⅛

5p + 3 = Length

Length = 5p + 3

Solving for the perimeter of the deck

The perimeter of the deck is calculated as thus

Perimeter = 2(Length + Width)

Substitute 5p + 3 and 8p for Length and Width, respectively.

Perimeter = 2(5p + 3 + 8p)

Perimeter = 2(5p + 8p + 3)

Perimeter = 2(13p + 3)

Open bracket

Perimeter = 2 * 13p + 2 * 3

Perimeter = 26p + 6

Suppose Paul kicks a soccer ball straight up into the air with an initial velocity of 96 feet per second. The function f(x) = -1
Ludmilka [50]
The zeros are the values of t for which f(t) = 0.
i.e. <span>-16t^2 + 96t = 0
16</span>t^2 - 96t = 16t(t - 6)
16t = 0 or t - 6 = 0
t = 0 or t = 6
Therefore, the zeros are 0, 6

The time taken for the ball to hit the ground is the value of t when f(t) = 0.
i.e. t = 6.
