Answer:
(7x + 18) or 60 Mangoes
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the no. of mangoes Kubie possesses be x
So,
Cyril has mangoes = 2x + 6 ...(i)
So,
Maxine has = 2 * (2x + 6)
= 4x + 12
Given that,
Kubie has mangoes = 6
∵ The combined mangoes they have in terms of x,
= Cyril + Kubie + Maxine
= (2x + 6) + x + (4x + 12)
= 7x + 18
A.T.Q.
Cyril has = 2x + 6
∵ Cyril has mangoes = 2 * (6) + 6
= 18 mangoes
∵ Maxine has = 2 * Cyril's mangoes
= 2 * 18
= 36
Thus,
Total mangoes = Cyril + Kubie + Maxine
= 18 + 6 + 36
= 60 Mangoes

Answer: A
Step-by-step explanation: x=-2, y=3, z=-3
Answer:
A. -2, 3, -3
Step-by-step explanation:
x = 7 - 2y + z
y = 21 + 6x + 2z = 21 + 6×(7 - 2y + z) + 2z =
= 21 + 42 - 12y + 6z + 2z = 63 - 12y + 8z
13y = 63 + 8z
y = (63 + 8z)/13
2x + 2y - 3z = 11
2×(7 - 2y + z) + 2×(63 + 8z)/13 - 3z = 11
2×(7 - 2×(63 + 8z)/13 + z) + 2×(63 + 8z)/13 - 3z = 11
14 - 4×(63 + 8z)/13 + 2z + 2×(63 + 8z)/13 - 3z = 11
-2×(63 + 8z)/13 - z = -3
-2×(63 + 8z) - 13z = -39
-126 - 16z - 13z = -39
-29z = 87
z = -3
y = (63 + 8×-3)/13 = (63 - 24)/13 = 39/13 = 3

[tex]2\sin(x) +\sqrt{3} =0 \implies 2\sin(x)=-\sqrt{3} \implies \boxed{\sin(x)=-\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2} }[/tex]
[tex]\therefore x=\dfrac{4\pi }{3}[/tex]
But note, as sine does represent the [tex]y[/tex] value, [tex]\dfrac{5\pi }{3}[/tex] is also solution
Therefore,
[tex]x=\dfrac{4\pi }{3} \text{ and } x=\dfrac{5\pi }{3}[/tex]
This is the solution for [tex]x\in[0, 2\pi ][/tex], recall the unit circle.
Note: [tex]\sin(x)=-\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \implies \sin(x)=\sin \left(\pi +\dfrac{\pi }{3} \right)[/tex]
b)
[tex]\sqrt{3} \tan(x) + 1 =0 \implies \tan(x) = -\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3} } \implies \boxed{ \tan(x) = -\dfrac{\sqrt{3} }{3} }[/tex]
Once
[tex]\tan(x) = -\dfrac{\sqrt{3} }{3} \implies \sin(x) = -\dfrac{1}{2} \text{ and } \cos(x) = \dfrac{\sqrt{3} }{2}[/tex]

A toddler is allowed to dress himself on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. For each of his shirt, pants, and shoes, he is equally likely to put it on correctly as incorrectly. Getting these articles of clothing on correctly are independent of each other. On the other days, the mother dresses the toddler with 100% accuracy. Given that the toddler is correctly dressed, what is the probability that today is Monday
Answer:
0.0286 = 2.86% probability that today is Monday.
Step-by-step explanation:
Conditional Probability
We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is
[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]
In which
P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.
[tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening.
P(A) is the probability of A happening.
In this question:
Event A: Dressed correctly
Event B: Monday
Probability of being dressed correctly:
100% = 1 out of 4/7(mom dresses).
(0.5)^3 = 0.125 out of 3/7(toddler dresses himself). So
[tex]P(A) = 0.125\frac{3}{7} + \frac{4}{7} = \frac{0.125*3 + 4}{7} = \frac{4.375}{7} = 0.625[/tex]
Probability of being dressed correctly and being Monday:
The toddler dresses himself on Monday, so (0.5)^3 = 0.125 probability of him being dressed correctly, 1/7 probability of being Monday, so:
[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.125\frac{1}{7} = 0.0179[/tex]
What is the probability that today is Monday?
[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.0179}{0.625} = 0.0286[/tex]
0.0286 = 2.86% probability that today is Monday.

A shop sells a particular of video recorder. Assuming that the weekly demand for the video recorder is a Poisson variable with the mean 3, find the probability that the shop sells. . (a) At least 3 in a week. (b) At most 7 in a week. (c) More than 20 in a month (4 weeks).
Answer:
a) 0.5768 = 57.68% probability that the shop sells at least 3 in a week.
b) 0.988 = 98.8% probability that the shop sells at most 7 in a week.
c) 0.0104 = 1.04% probability that the shop sells more than 20 in a month.
Step-by-step explanation:
For questions a and b, the Poisson distribution is used, while for question c, the normal approximation is used.
Poisson distribution:
In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:
[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\lambda}*\lambda^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]
In which
x is the number of successes
e = 2.71828 is the Euler number
[tex]\lambda[/tex] is the mean in the given interval.
Normal Probability Distribution
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
The Poisson distribution can be approximated to the normal with [tex]\mu = \lambda, \sigma = \sqrt{\lambda}[/tex], if [tex]\lambda>10[/tex].
Poisson variable with the mean 3
This means that [tex]\lambda= 3[/tex].
(a) At least 3 in a week.
This is [tex]P(X \geq 3)[/tex]. So
[tex]P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X < 3)[/tex]
In which:
[tex]P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)[/tex]
Then
[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\lambda}*\lambda^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0498[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.1494[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.2240[/tex]
So
[tex]P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0498 + 0.1494 + 0.2240 = 0.4232[/tex]
[tex]P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 1 - 0.4232 = 0.5768[/tex]
0.5768 = 57.68% probability that the shop sells at least 3 in a week.
(b) At most 7 in a week.
This is:
[tex]P(X \leq 7) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7)[/tex]
In which
[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\lambda}*\lambda^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0498[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.1494[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.2240[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 3) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{3}}{(3)!} = 0.2240[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 4) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{4}}{(4)!} = 0.1680[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 5) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{5}}{(5)!} = 0.1008[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 6) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{6}}{(6)!} = 0.0504[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 7) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{7}}{(7)!} = 0.0216[/tex]
Then
[tex]P(X \leq 7) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) = 0.0498 + 0.1494 + 0.2240 + 0.2240 + 0.1680 + 0.1008 + 0.0504 + 0.0216 = 0.988[/tex]
0.988 = 98.8% probability that the shop sells at most 7 in a week.
(c) More than 20 in a month (4 weeks).
4 weeks, so:
[tex]\mu = \lambda = 4(3) = 12[/tex]
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\lambda} = \sqrt{12}[/tex]
The probability, using continuity correction, is P(X > 20 + 0.5) = P(X > 20.5), which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 20.5.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{20 - 12}{\sqrt{12}}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 2.31[/tex]
[tex]Z = 2.31[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9896.
1 - 0.9896 = 0.0104
0.0104 = 1.04% probability that the shop sells more than 20 in a month.
The probability of the selling the video recorders for considered cases are:
P(At least 3 in a week) = 0.5768 approximately.P(At most 7 in a week) = 0.9881 approximately.P( more than 20 in a month) = 0.0839 approximately.What are some of the properties of Poisson distribution?Let X ~ Pois(λ)
Then we have:
E(X) = λ = Var(X)
Since standard deviation is square root (positive) of variance,
Thus,
Standard deviation of X = [tex]\sqrt{\lambda}[/tex]
Its probability function is given by
f(k; λ) = Pr(X = k) = [tex]\dfrac{\lambda^{k}e^{-\lambda}}{k!}[/tex]
For this case, let we have:
X = the number of weekly demand of video recorder for the considered shop.
Then, by the given data, we have:
X ~ Pois(λ=3)
Evaluating each event's probability:
Case 1: At least 3 in a week.
[tex]P(X > 3) = 1- P(X \leq 2) = \sum_{i=0}^{2}P(X=i) = \sum_{i=0}^{2} \dfrac{3^ie^{-3}}{i!}\\\\P(X > 3) = 1 - e^{-3} \times \left( 1 + 3 + 9/2\right) \approx 1 - 0.4232 = 0.5768[/tex]
Case 2: At most 7 in a week.
[tex]P(X \leq 7) = \sum_{i=0}^{7}P(X=i) = \sum_{i=0}^{7} \dfrac{3^ie^{-3}}{i!}\\\\P(X \leq 7) = e^{-3} \times \left( 1 + 3 + 9/2 + 27/6 + 81/24 + 243/120 + 729/720 + 2187/5040\right)\\\\P(X \leq 7) \approx 0.9881[/tex]
Case 3: More than 20 in a month(4 weeks)
That means more than 5 in a week on average.
[tex]P(X > 5) = 1- P(X \leq 5) =\sum_{i=0}^{5}P(X=i) = \sum_{i=0}^{5} \dfrac{3^ie^{-3}}{i!}\\\\P(X > 5) = 1- e^{-3}( 1 + 3 + 9/2 + 27/6 + 81/24 + 243/120)\\\\P(X > 5) \approx 1 - 0.9161 \\ P(X > 5) \approx 0.0839[/tex]
Thus, the probability of the selling the video recorders for considered cases are:

If the lengths of the legs of a right triangle are 5 and 12, what is the length of the hypotenuse?
Answer:
13
Step-by-step explanation:
If we have a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse
a^2+b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
5^2 + 12^2 = c^2
25+144= c^2
169 = c^2
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(169) = sqrt(c^2)
13= c
Answer:
The length of the hypotenuse is 13.
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]a^{2}[/tex] = [tex]b^2 + c^2[/tex]
[tex]a^2 = 12^2 + 5^2[/tex]
[tex]a^2 = 144 + 25[/tex]
[tex]a^2 = 169[/tex]
a=[tex]\sqrt{169}[/tex]
a= 13
Here we use the idea of the Pythagoras' theorem. Which suggests that [tex]a^{2}[/tex] = [tex]b^2 + c^2[/tex] in which [tex]a^{2}[/tex] is the hypotenuse of the triangle and [tex]b^2[/tex] and [tex]c^{2}[/tex] are the two other lengths of the triangle.

There are two numbers after the decimal so we put the number over 100
306/100
Divide top and bottom by 2
153/50
To write 3.06 as a fraction you have to write 3.06 as numerator and put 1 as the denominator. Now you multiply numerator and denominator by 10 as long as you get in numerator the whole number.
3.06 = 3.06/1 = 30.6/10 = 306/100

At a sale this week, a desk is being sold for $312. This is a 35% discount from the original price.
What is the original price?
Answer:
$480
Step-by-step explanation:
Let original price be x
{Original price - discount amount = sale price}
So, x - (x * 35/100) = 312
x - 35x/100 = 312
100x - 35x / 100 = 312
65x/100 = 312
65x = 31200
x = 31200/65
x = $480
So I think the original price of desk was $480
The original price of the desk is $480.
What is discount?A discount is the reduction of either the monetary amount or a percentage of the normal selling price of a product or service.
Given that, a desk is being sold for $312.
Let the original price of the desk be x.
Here, x-35% of x =312

1->dương vô cùng 1/x*(9+lnx^2)dx
It looks like you are trying to compute the improper integral,
[tex]I = \displaystyle\int_1^\infty \dfrac{\mathrm dx}{x(9+\ln^2(x))}[/tex]
or some flavor of this. If this interpretation is correct, substitute u = ln(x) and du = dx/x. Then
[tex]I = \displaystyle\int_0^\infty \dfrac{\mathrm du}{9+u^2} \\\\ = \frac13\arctan\left(\frac u3\right)\bigg|_{u=0}^{u\to\infty} \\\\ = \frac13\lim_{u\to\infty}\arctan\left(\frac u3\right) \\\\ = \frac13\times\frac\pi2 = \boxed{\frac\pi6}[/tex]

QUESTION 2
A board is 86 cm. in lenght and must be cut so that one piece is 20 cm. longer than the other piece
Find the lenght of each piece.
A26 cm and 60 cm
b. 33 cm and 53 cm
C 30 cm and 56 cm
d. 70 cm and 16 cm
One piece will be length x and the other piece will be 20 cm longer, so it will be x + 20 cm long.
Added together the length of these two boards will equal 86 cm. So you can write an equation:
x + (x + 20) = 86
Remove the parentheses and add the two x's together to get:
2x + 20 = 86
Subtract 20 from both sides:
2x = 66
Divide both sides by 2 and you have:
x = 33
The short piece is 33 cm and the other piece is 20 cm longer or 33 + 20 = 53 cm.
