Answer:

  c.  an algorithm

Step-by-step explanation:

Most math problems are best solved using an algorithm. Certainly, converting numbers from one form to another is easily done that way.

_____

The integer part is the whole-number quotient of the division. The fractional part is the remainder divided by the denominator:

  39/8 = 32/8 + 7/8 = 4 7/8

Find the derivative of the vector function r(t)=ta×(b+tc), where a=⟨2,−3,4⟩, b=⟨−4,5,−1⟩, and c=⟨−2,−1,5⟩.
NikAS [45]

Answer:

derivative of the vector function given = ( -16-22t, 14-36t, -2-16t )

Step-by-step explanation:

given data:

vector function : r(t) = ta*(b+tc)

a = ( 2,-3.4) .   b = (-4,5,-1).  c = ( -2,-1,5)

to find the derivative of the vector function we will differentiate with respect to x attached below is the detailed solution

Problem 2.2.4 Your Starburst candy has 12 pieces, three pieces of each of four flavors: berry, lemon, orange, and cherry, arrang
kkurt [141]

Answer:

a) P=0

b) P=0.164

c) P=0.145

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 12 pieces, with 3 of each of the 4 flavors.

You draw the first 4 pieces.

a) The probability of getting all of the same flavor is 0, because there are only 3 pieces of each flavor. Once you get the 3 of the same flavor, there are only the other flavors remaining.

b) The probability of all 4 being from different flavor can be calculated as the multiplication of 4 probabilities.

The first probability is for the first draw, and has a value of 1, as any flavor will be ok.

The second probability corresponds to drawing the second candy and getting a different flavor. There are 2 pieces of the flavor from draw 1, and 9 from the other flavors, so this probability is 9/(9+2)=9/11≈0.82.

The third probability is getting in the third draw a different flavor from the previos two draws. We have left 10 candys and 4 are from the flavor we already picked. Then the third probabilty is 6/10=0.6.

The fourth probability is getting the last flavor. There are 9 candies left and only 3 are of the flavor that hasn't been picked yet. Then, the probability is 3/9=0.33.

Then, the probabilty of picking the 4 from different flavors is:

P=1\cdot\dfrac{9}{11}\cdot\dfrac{6}{10}\cdot\dfrac{3}{9}=\dfrac{162}{990}\approx0.164

c) We can repeat the method for the previous probabilty.

The first draw has a probability of 1 because any flavor is ok.

In the second draw, we may get the same flavor, with probability 2/11, or we can get a second flavor with probability 9/11. These two branches are ok.

For the third draw, if we have gotten 2 of the same flavor (P=2/11), we have to get a different flavor (we can not have 3 of the same flavor). This happen with probability 9/10.

If we have gotten two diffente flavors, there are left 4 candies of the picked flavors in the remaining 10 candies, so we have a probabilty of 4/10.

For the fourth draw, independently of the three draws, there are only 2 candies left that satisfy the condition, so we have a probability of 2/9.

For the first path, where we pick 2 candies of the same flavor first and 2 candies of the same flavor last, we have two versions, one for each flavor, so we multiply this probability by a factor of 2.

We have then the probabilty as:

P=2\cdot\left(1\cdot\dfrac{2}{11}\right)\cdot\left(\dfrac{9}{10}\cdot\dfrac{2}{9}\right)+\left(1\cdot\dfrac{9}{11}\cdot\dfrac{4}{10}\cdot\dfrac{2}{9}\right)\\\\\\P=2\cdot\dfrac{36}{990}+\dfrac{72}{990}=\dfrac{144}{990}\approx0.145

Which of the following systems of Inequalities would produce the region indicated on the graph below?
Fed [463]
The line rising to the right has equation y = x + 2
and the  other one has equation y =  -x + 4

the lines are solid so the inequalities will be <= or >=

in both case  the shading is below so the sign is <=

also x and Y values are both positive  
so the answer is choice  C

What is the value of the 19th term in the sequence -1, -5, -9, ...?
Ivanshal [37]
-5 -(-1) = -5+1= -4
and
-9 -(-5) = -9+5 = -4

we observe that the number are in AP

of the AP -
ist term = -1
common difference = -4
19th term = -1 + (19-1)(-4)= -1 -72 = -73

Which table describes the behavior of the graph of f(x) = 2x³ - 26x - 24?
Anna71 [15]
After you have plotted the graph of the polynomial, the x-intercepts of the given polynomial will be:
(-3,0),(-1,0) and (4,0)
therefore the interval will be:
(-∞,-3)-below, (-3,-1)-above,(-1,4)-below,(4,∞)-above
The answer is ]
