5 0

1 file + 3 pens = $32.85 --------------- (1)
2 files + 8 pens = $83.50 ----------------(2)

(1) x 2 :
2 files + 6 pens = $65.70 ----------------(1a)

(2) - (1a) :
2 pens = $17.80
1 pen = $8.90

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: One pen costs $8.90.

The diameter of Circle Q terminates on the circumference of the circle at (0,3) and (0,-4). Write the equation of the circle in

Gnesinka [82]

First, determine the center of the circle by getting the midpoint of the points given for the circumference.
midpoint = ((0 + 0)/2, (3 + -4)/2)
midpoint (0, -0.5)
Then, we get the radius by determining the distance from either of the circumferential point to the center.
radius = √(0 - 0)² + (3 +4)² = 7
The equation for the circle would be,
x² + (y + 0.5)² = 7²

What is the simplified form of StartRoot StartFraction 72 x Superscript 16 Baseline Over 50 x Superscript 36 Baseline EndFractio

aalyn [17]

Answer:

StartFraction 6 Over 5 x Superscript 10 Baseline EndFraction

Step-by-step explanation:

Apparently you want to simplify ...

$\sqrt{\dfrac{72x^{16}}{50x^{36}}}$

The applicable rules of exponents are ...

(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)

1/a^b = a^-b

(a^b)^c = a^(bc)

So the expression simplifies as ...

$\sqrt{\dfrac{72x^{16}}{50x^{36}}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{36}{25x^{36-16}}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{36}{25x^{20}}}\\\\\sqrt{\left(\dfrac{6}{5x^{10}}\right)^2}=\boxed{\dfrac{6}{5x^{10}}}$

0.55 is the probability that Lions will score less than 3 goals.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Number of goals(x): 0 1 2 3 4

Probability: 0.05 0.15 0.35 0.30 0.25

We have to find the probability that Lions will score less than 3 goals.

$P(X$

0.55 is the probability that Lions will score less than 3 goals.

The experience of a car dealer shows that 60% of the customers purchase a stereo as an option with their cars, 50% purchase tint

erica [24]

If 60% purchase a stereo and 50% purchases tinted windows, then the percentage of people who purchased both have been counted twice. So we have to subtract 35% (the % that purchased both) from the sum of the first two percentages:
60% + 50% - 35% = 75%
Therefore, the probability that a customer picked up any one or both options (which is at least 1) is 75%.
