A nature preserve has a population of fourteen black bears. They have been tagged #1 through #14, so they can be observed over time. Two of them are randomly selected and captured for evaluation. One is tested for worms and one is tested for ticks. What is the probability that bear #3 is tested for worms and bear #5 is tested for ticks?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1/182 or 0.55%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 ways to approach this problem (and both give the same answer!).

First method: probability for each test.

First test, worms: There's 1/14 chances for bear #3 to be selected, since there are 14 bears total.

Second test, ticks: There's 1/13 chances for bear #5 to be selected, since only 13 bears remain (#3 cannot be tested for both ticks and worms).

So, to obtain the total probability, we multiply 1/14 with 1/13 = 1/182

Second method: permutations

We can see the problem from a permutations perspective.  How many permutations can we have for 2 bears to be tested? It's a permutation since the order is important. (#3 ticks + #5 worms ≠ #3 worms + #5 ticks)

[tex]P(14,2) = \frac{14!}{(14 - 2)!} = 182[/tex]

There are 182 permutations possible, ONE of which is bear #3 is tested for worms and bear #5 is tested for ticks.

So, once again, 1/182.

-0.75-(-2/5)+0.4+(-3/4)

Answers

-0.75-(-2/5)+0.4+(-3/4) =  -0.7 simplified, how I got this answer can be found below in 16 steps.

1 - First thing we want to do is remove the parentheses.

-0.75 - (-2/5) + 0.4 - 3/4

2 - Then we simplify, multiply -1 by -1.

-0.75 + 1 (2/5) + 0.4 - 3/4

3 - Then multiply 2/5 by 1.

-0.75 + 2/5 + 0.4 - 3/4

4 - Then we want to write - 0.75/1 as a fraction with a common denominator, we do this by multiplying by 5/5.

-0.75/1 * 5/5 + 2/5 + 0.4 - 3/4

5 - Then we write each expression with a common denominator of 5, we multiply each one by a factor of one.

-0.75 * 5/1*5 + 2/5 + 0.4 - 3/4

6 - Then we multiply 5 by 1.

-0.75 * 5 / 5 + 2/5 + 0.4 - 3/4

7 - Then we combine the numerators over the common denominator.

-0.75*5+2/5+0.4-3/4

8 - We multiply -0.75 by 5.

-3.75 + 2/5 + 0.4 - 3/4

9 - Then we add -3.75 and 2.

-1.75/5+0.4-3/4

10 - And then we divide -1.75 by 5.

-0.35 + 0.4 - 3/4

11 - Then add -0.35 and 0.4.

0.05 - 3/4

12 - We then write 0.05/1 as a fraction with a common denominator, we do this via multiplying it by 4/4.

0.05/1 * 4/4 - 3/4

13 - Then we write each expression with a common denominator of 4, through multiplying each by a factor of 1.

0.05 * 4/4 - 3/4

14 - We combine the numerators over the common denominator.

0.05 * 4 - 3 / 4

15 - We simplify.

-2.8 / 4

16 - Then we divide -2.8 / 4

The final answer is -0.7

Answer:

The domain of the function is  [tex]x<3[/tex]                                

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Function [tex]y=\ln (\frac{12-4x}{5})[/tex]

To find : What is the domain of the function ?

Solution :

Domain is defined as the set of possible values which define the function.

We know that, log negative is not defined.

So, we will get the inequality  in the function.

[tex]\ln (\frac{12-4x}{5})>0[/tex]

[tex]\frac{12-4x}{5}>0[/tex]

The square root of a number is 6. What is the other square root of this number?​

Answers

Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

If the square root of a number is 6, then the number must be 36 (6*6=36)

However, negatives*negatives also equal positives, so

-6*-6 also =36

hence, your answer should be -6

Final answer:

The other square root of a number whose one square root is 6 is -6, because both 6 and -6 squared give the positive number 36.

Explanation:

The question you're asking pertains to finding square roots of a number. Given that one square root of a number is 6, the other square root would also be 6, but with an opposite sign, so it's -6. This is because when either 6 or -6 is squared (multiplied by itself), the result is 36. So, the number you're looking for is 36, and it has two square roots: 6 and -6. This is because the equation x² = √x holds true for both positive and negative values of x that yield the same positive result when squared.

To find the other square root of the number, we need to consider the fact that a positive number has two square roots - one positive and one negative.

Since the given square root is positive and equal to 6, the other square root would be its negative counterpart, which is -6.

then we will have two triangles whose area is easier to find,let´s see the AB-BD-DA triangle

Express 120% as a fraction in simplest form

Answers

Answer:

6/5

Step-by-step explanation:

120% turns into 120/100 and from there you simply

Final answer:

To convert 120% to a fraction in its simplest form, write it as 120/100 and then simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 20. This results in 6/5.

Explanation:

To express 120% as a fraction in simplest form, you first write the value of the percent as a fraction with a denominator of 100. This is essentially how you convert percentages into fractions. This means that 120% becomes 120/100.

Next, you need to simplify this fraction. To simplify a fraction, you find the greatest common factor of both the numerator and the denominator and then divide each by that number. In this case, the greatest common factor is 20, so you divide both 120 and 100 by 20.

Doing so, the fraction becomes 6/5. Therefore, 120% can be expressed as the fraction 6/5 in simplest form.

Is 1+4(3x-10)-12x equivalent to -9 ?

Answers

After distributing the multiplication and combining like terms, the expression 1+4(3x-10)-12x simplifies to -39, which proves it is not equivalent to -9.

To determine if the expression 1+4(3x-10)-12x is equivalent to -9, we need to simplify the expression first. Let's do that step by step:

Distribute the 4 into the parentheses: 1 + 4*3x - 4*10 - 12x.Simplify the multiplication: 1 + 12x - 40 - 12x.Combine like terms: The 12x and -12x cancel each other out, leaving 1 - 40.Simplify the remaining expression: -39.

After simplifying the expression, we end up with -39, which is not equivalent to -9. Therefore, the given expression 1+4(3x-10)-12x is not equivalent to -9.

O C. y+ 1 = 5(x + 2)
O D. y-1 = -5(x-2)

Answers

Answer:

y + 1 - 5(x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Borrow (2, -1):  Substitute 2 for x and -1 for y, and -5 for m in  y = mx + b:

-1 = -5(2) + b.  Then b = 9, and the desired equation in point-slope form is:

y - (-1) = -5(x - 2), or

y + 1 - 5(x - 2)

The point-slope form of a line with slope -5 that contains the point

(2,-1) is y+1=-5(x-2). Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

What is the point slope form?

The point slope form is used to find the equation of the straight line which is inclined at a given angle to the x-axis and passes through a given point.

The equation of the point slope form is: (y - y₁) = m(x - x₁)

where, (x, y) is a random point on the line and m is the slope of the line.

Given that, a line with slope -5 that contains the point (2, -1).

Substitute m=-5 and (x₁, y₁)=(2, -1) in the point slope form, we get

(y-(-1))=-5(x-2)

y+1=-5(x-2)

y+1=-5x+10

5x+y-9=0

Circle Y has a center at (2,3) and a radius of 4. Circle Z has a center at (2,−3) and a radius of 10. What is the scale factor of all radii of circle Y to all radii of circle Z?

Answers

Final answer:

The scale factor of all radii of circle Y to all radii of circle Z is 0.4.

Explanation:

To find the scale factor of all radii of circle Y to all radii of circle Z, we can compare their radii.

Circle Y:
Center: (2,3)
Radius: 4

Circle Z:
Center: (2,-3)
Radius: 10

The scale factor is determined by comparing the radii of the two circles. The radius of circle Y is 4 and the radius of circle Z is 10. To find the scale factor, we divide the radius of circle Y by the radius of circle Z: 4/10 = 0.4.

Therefore, the scale factor of all radii of circle Y to all radii of circle Z is 0.4.
