Robin says that polynomials are closed under division. Brad adamantly disagrees. Who is correct? Justify your answer.

1 answer:

6 0

Brad is correct.

Polynomials do not include negative exponents; this means there can be no variables in the denominator. If two polynomials do not divide evenly, the remainder is written as a fraction with the divisor (which can include a variable) in the denominator. This is not a polynomial.

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

$c=\frac{16}{39}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability density function is :

$f(x)=c(1-\frac{1}{16}x^{2})$

With 0 < x < 3

To be a valid probability density function :

$\int\limits^b_a {f(x)} \,dx=1$

Where a < x < b

And also

f(x) ≥ 0 for a < x < b

Applying this to the probability density function of the exercise :

$\int\limits^3_0 {c(1-\frac{1}{16}x^{2})} \, dx=1$

$c\int\limits^3_0 {(1-\frac{1}{16}x^{2})} \, dx=1$

$c(3-\frac{1}{16}\frac{3^{3}}{3})=1$

$c(\frac{39}{16})=1$

$c=\frac{16}{39}$

We can verify by replacing ''c'' in the original probability density function and integrating :

$\int\limits^3_0 {\frac{16}{39}(1-\frac{1}{16}x^{2})} \, dx=$

$=\frac{16}{39}.(3)-\frac{1}{39}.(\frac{3^{3}}{3})=\frac{16}{13}-\frac{3}{13}=\frac{13}{13}=1$

Also, f(x) ≥ 0 for 0 < x < 3

Which shows the correct substitution of the values a, b, and c from the equation 0 = – 3x2 – 2x + 6 into the quadratic formula?

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

x = StartFraction negative

(negative 2) plus or minus StartRoot (negative 2) squared minus 4 (negative 3)(6) EndRoot Over 2(negative 3) EndFraction

Step-by-step explanation:

0 = – 3x2 – 2x + 6

It can still be written as

– 3x2 – 2x + 6 =0

Quadratic formula=

-b+or-√b^2-4ac/2a

Where

a=-3

b=-2

c=6

x= -(-2)+ or-√(-2)^2-4(-3)(6)/2(-3)

x = StartFraction negative

(negative 2) plus or minus StartRoot (negative 2) squared minus 4 (negative 3)(6) EndRoot Over 2(negative 3) EndFraction

You and a friend each randomly draw a card from a standard deck. What is the probability that at least one of you is holding a f

Andreyy89

Answer:

0.24

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cards = 52

Face cards = heart {K,Q,J} , Spade {K,Q,J} , Club {K,Q,J} , Diamond{K,Q,J} = 12

Now we are given that You and a friend each randomly draw a card from a standard deck.

Probability that no one getting face card:

Favorable events = total cards - face cards = 52 -12= 40

Total cards = 52

So, probability that no one is getting face card = $\frac{40}{52} =0.76$

Now we are supposed to find the probability that at least one of you is holding a face card

So, probability = 1 - probability that no one is getting face card

=1 - 0.76

= 0.24

So, probability that at least one of you is holding a face card is 0.24

Y_Kistochka [10]

35.2 ounces is 1/5 of the popcorn

so 35.2 x 5 = 176

1 pound = 16 ounces

176÷16=11

The movie theater made 11 pounds of popcorn
