Hey there!
n * 25 = 5 * 60
25n = 5 * 60
25n = 300
DIVIDE 25 to BOTH SIDES
25n/25 = 300/25
CANCEL out: 25/25 because it gives you 1
KEEP: 300/25 because it helps solve for the n-value
NEW EQUATION: n = 300/25
SIMPLIFY IT!
n = 12
Therefore, your answer is: n = 12
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

Assume you have a ticket that will let you participate in a game of chance (a lottery) that will pay off $10 with a 45% chance (or a 55% chance of getting nothing). Your friend has a ticket to a different lottery that has a 20% chance of paying $25 (or an 80% chance of paying nothing). Your friend has offered to let you have his ticket if you will give him your ticket plus one dollar.
Required:
Build an influence diagram for this problem.
Solution :
I have a lottery ticket that will pay off $ 10 with a 45% chance and a friend of mine has a chance of 20% by paying off $ 25.
It is based on Double risk dilemma.
Individual --- trade ticket (-1) ----24 (win(25) (0.20))
----- -1 (lose ) (0.80)
----- keep trade -------10 (win 10) (0.45)
----- 0 (lose) (0.55)
Next, solve the decision tree using expected monetary value.
EVM (keep ticket) = 0.45 (10) + 0.55 (0) = $ 4.50
EVM (trade ticket) = 0.20 (24) + 0.80 (-1) = $ 4
Therefore, we keep the ticket and do not trade.

Step-by-step explanation:
Two cards are drawn without replacement from a standard deck of 5252 playing cards. What is the probability of choosing a red card for the second card drawn, if the first card, drawn without replacement, was a club
Answer:
The probability is 0.51
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find the of choosing a red card for the second card drawn, given that the first card drawn without replacement, was a club.
Then we need to assume that the first card drawn was a club, so now we have a deck of 51 cards with:
13 hearts
13 diamonds
13 spades
12 clubs.
Now with this deck, the probability of drawing a red card is equal to the quotient between the number of red cards and the total number of cards in the deck.
We have 26 red cards (13 hearts + 13 diamonds)
And there is a total of 51 cards in the deck, then the probability of drawing a red card now is:
P = 26/51 =0.51
The probability is 0.51

To calculate the volume of a chemical produced in a day a chemical manufacturing company uses the following formula below:
[tex]V(x)=[C_1(x)+C_2(x)](H(x))[/tex]
where represents the number of units produced. This means two chemicals are added together to make a new chemical and the resulting chemical is multiplied by the expression for the holding container with respect to the number of units produced. The equations for the two chemicals added together with respect to the number of unit produced are given below:
[tex]C_1(x)=\frac{x}{x+1} , C_2(x)=\frac{2}{x-3}[/tex]
The equation for the holding container with respect to the number of unit produced is given below:
[tex]H(x)=\frac{x^3-9x}{x}[/tex]
a. What rational expression do you get when you combine the two chemicals?
b. What is the simplified equation of ?
c. What would the volume be if 50, 100, or 1000 units are produced in a day?
d. The company needs a volume of 3000 How many units would need to be produced in a day?
Answer:
[tex]V(x) = [\frac{x}{x + 1} + \frac{2}{x-3}] * \frac{x^3 - 9x}{x}[/tex]
[tex]V(x) = [\frac{(x^2-x+2)(x + 3)}{(x + 1)}][/tex]
[tex]V(50) = 2548.17[/tex] [tex]V(100) = 10098.10[/tex] [tex]V(1000) = 999201.78[/tex]
[tex]x = 54.78[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]V(x) = [C_1(x) + C_2(x)](H(x))[/tex]
[tex]C_1(x) = \frac{x}{x+1}[/tex]
[tex]C_1(x) = \frac{2}{x-3}[/tex]
[tex]H(x) = \frac{x^3 - 9x}{x}[/tex]
Solving (a): Expression for V(x)
We have:
[tex]V(x) = [C_1(x) + C_2(x)](H(x))[/tex]
Substitute known values
[tex]V(x) = [\frac{x}{x + 1} + \frac{2}{x-3}] * \frac{x^3 - 9x}{x}[/tex]
Solving (b): Simplify V(x)
We have:
[tex]V(x) = [\frac{x}{x + 1} + \frac{2}{x-3}] * \frac{x^3 - 9x}{x}[/tex]
Solve the expression in bracket
[tex]V(x) = [\frac{x*(x-3) + 2*(x+1)}{(x + 1)(x -3)}] * \frac{x^3 - 9x}{x}[/tex]
[tex]V(x) = [\frac{x^2-3x + 2x+2}{(x + 1)(x -3)}] * \frac{x^3 - 9x}{x}[/tex]
[tex]V(x) = [\frac{x^2-x+2}{(x + 1)(x -3)}] * \frac{x^3 - 9x}{x}[/tex]
Factor out x
[tex]V(x) = [\frac{x^2-x+2}{(x + 1)(x -3)}] * \frac{x(x^2 - 9)}{x}[/tex]
[tex]V(x) = [\frac{x^2-x+2}{(x + 1)(x -3)}] * (x^2 - 9)[/tex]
Express as difference of two squares
[tex]V(x) = [\frac{x^2-x+2}{(x + 1)(x -3)}] * (x- 3)(x + 3)[/tex]
Cancel out x - 3
[tex]V(x) = [\frac{x^2-x+2}{(x + 1)}] *(x + 3)[/tex]
[tex]V(x) = [\frac{(x^2-x+2)(x + 3)}{(x + 1)}][/tex]
Solving (c): V(50), V(100), V(1000)
[tex]V(x) = [\frac{(x^2-x+2)(x + 3)}{(x + 1)}][/tex]
Substitute 50 for x
[tex]V(50) = [\frac{(50^2-50+2)(50 + 3)}{(50 + 1)}][/tex]
[tex]V(50) = \frac{(2452)(53)}{(51)}][/tex]
[tex]V(50) = 2548.17[/tex]
Substitute 100 for x
[tex]V(100) = [\frac{(100^2-100+2)(100 + 3)}{(100 + 1)}][/tex]
[tex]V(100) = \frac{9902)(103)}{(101)}[/tex]
[tex]V(100) = 10098.10[/tex]
Substitute 1000 for x
[tex]V(1000) = [\frac{(1000^2-1000+2)(1000 + 3)}{(1000 + 1)}][/tex]
[tex]V(1000) = [\frac{(999002)(10003)}{(10001)}][/tex]
[tex]V(1000) = 999201.78[/tex]
Solving (d): V(x) = 3000, find x
[tex]V(x) = [\frac{(x^2-x+2)(x + 3)}{(x + 1)}][/tex]
[tex]3000 = [\frac{(x^2-x+2)(x + 3)}{(x + 1)}][/tex]
Cross multiply
[tex]3000(x + 1) = (x^2-x+2)(x + 3)[/tex]
Equate to 0
[tex](x^2-x+2)(x + 3)-3000(x + 1)=0[/tex]
Open brackets
[tex]x^3 - x^2 + 2x + 3x^2 - 3x + 6 - 3000x - 3000 = 0[/tex]
Collect like terms
[tex]x^3 + 3x^2- x^2 + 2x - 3x - 3000x + 6 - 3000 = 0[/tex]
[tex]x^3 + x^2 -3001x -2994 = 0[/tex]
Solve using graphs (see attachment)
[tex]x = -54.783[/tex] or
[tex]x = -0.998[/tex] or
[tex]x = 54.78[/tex]
x can't be negative. So:
[tex]x = 54.78[/tex]
1 calculate the weight of a dog on the earth and on the moon if it has a mass of 28kg
To solve the problem.
W=m×g
W=28×10
W=280.
The weight of a dog on the surface of earth is 280N.
Answer:
274.68N and 45.36N respectively
Step-by-step explanation:
Weight of any object is the mass in kilograms(kg) multiplied by the gravity in meter per square second(m/s^2). The gravity on earth is 9.81m/s^2 and on moon is 1.62m/s^2...so since the gravity varies the weight of the dog will also vary. The wight on earth would be 28kg multiplied by 9.81m/s^2 which would be 274.68N and the weight on moon would be 28kg multiplied by 1.62m/s^2 which would be 45.36N.

Answer:
√9 × √6
√54
√27 × √2
Step-by-step explanation:
We can obtain the answer to the question given above as illustrated below:
3√6
Recall
a√b = √(a×a×b)
Thus,
3√6 = √(3×3×6)
3√6 = √(9 × 6)
Recall
√(a × b) = √a × √b
√(9 × 6) = √9 × √6
Therefore,
3√6 = √9 × √6
Recall
√9 × √6 = √(9 × 6)
√9 × √6 = √54
Thus,
3√6 = √54
Recall
√54 = √(27 × 2)
√54 = √27 × √2
Therefore,
3√6 = √27 × √2
Therefore,
3√6 = √9 × √6 = √54 = √27 × √2
A survey showed that out of 600 surgery patients at ABC Medical Center, 8% of them had eye surgery. Find the number of patients that had eye surgery.
Answer:
48
Step-by-step explanation:
.08x600=48
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
total patients = 600
% of patients had eye surgery = 8%
Number of patients that had eye surgery ?= x
% of pt that had eye surgery = no. of pt that had surgery/ total number of pt
8/100= x/600
x=(8x600) /100
x= 4800/100
x= 48
Number of patients that had eye surgery were 48

a recent survey shows that 66% of college students have a cat and 37% have a HBO subscription. Assuming these two events are independent, what is the probability that a randomly selected student has neither a cat nor HBO
Answer:
[tex]P(C'\ and\ H') =0. 2178[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
[tex]C \to[/tex] Student with cat
[tex]H \to[/tex] Student has HBO sub
[tex]P(C) = 66\% \\ P(H) = 37\%[/tex]
Required
[tex]P(C'\ and\ H')[/tex]
This is calculated as:
[tex]P(C'\ and\ H') = P(C') * P(H')[/tex]
Using complement rules, we have:
[tex]P(C'\ and\ H') = [1 - P(C)] * [1 - P(H)][/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]P(C'\ and\ H') = [1 - 66\%] * [1 - 37\%][/tex]
[tex]P(C'\ and\ H') = [33\%] * [66\%][/tex]
[tex]P(C'\ and\ H') =0. 2178[/tex]

When the height of a right triangle is shown this way (at right angles with the hypotenuse, It can be found by using the way the hypotenuse is broken up. The following proportion works.
576/x = x / 49 Cross multiply
x^2 = 576 * 49
sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(576*49)
x = 24 * 7
x = 168
But that's not what you want (although it is close).
What you want is the hypotenuse to the small lower triangle
c = ?
a = 49
b = 168
c^2 = 49^2 + 168^2
c^2 = 2401 + 28224
c^2 = 30625
c = sqrt(30625)
c = 175

One month Kaitlin rented 2 movies and 5 video games for total of $34. The next month she rented 8 movies and 3 video games for total of $51. Find the rental cost of each movie and each video game.
Answer:
A movie is $4.50 and a video game is $5
Step-by-step explanation:
Create a system of equations where m is the cost of each movie and v is the cost of each video game:
2m + 5v = 34
8m + 3v = 51
Solve by elimination by multiplying the top equation by -4:
-8m - 20v = -136
8m + 3v = 51
Add these together and solve for v:
-17v = -85
v = 5
So, a video game is $5. Plug in 5 as v into one of the equations, and solve for m:
2m + 5v = 34
2m + 5(5) = 34
2m + 25 = 34
2m = 9
m = 4.5
A movie is $4.50 and a video game is $5
Find the measure of each angle in the problem. TO contains point H.
Answer:
A. 45 and 135
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall: two angles on a straight line forms a linear pair. The pair sum up to 180°.
Thus:
✔️c° + 3c° = 180°
4c = 180
Divide both sides by 4
4c/4 = 180/4
c = 45°
✔️3c = 3(45) (substitution)
= 135°
give a coordinates of the Vertex y =(x + 2)
.
squared - 1
Given:
The equation of a parabola is:
[tex]y=(x+2)^2-1[/tex]
To find:
The coordinates of the vertex of the given equation.
Solution:
The vertex form of a quadratic function is:
[tex]y=a(x-h)^2+k[/tex] ...(i)
Where, a is a constant and (h,k) is the vertex.
We have,
[tex]y=(x+2)^2-1[/tex] ...(ii)
On comparing (i) and (ii), we get
[tex]a=1[/tex]
[tex]h=-2[/tex]
[tex]k=-1[/tex]
We know that the vertex of the parabola is (h,k).
Therefore, the vertex of the given equation is (-2,-1).
Consider the functions f and g in the tables below. f(x) = 90x2 + 180x + 92 x y 0 92 1 362 2 812 3 1,442 4 2,252 5 3,242 g(x) = 6x x y 0 1 1 6 2 36 3 216 4 1,296 5 7,776 Which of the following statements is true? A. At approximately x = 4.39, the rate of change of f is equal to the rate of change of g. B. As x increases, the rate of change of g exceeds the rate of change of f. C. As x increases, the rate of change of f exceeds the rate of change of g. D. For every value of x, the rate of change of g exceeds the rate of change of f.
Answer:
As x increases, the rate of change of g exceeds the rate of change of f.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]f(x) = 90x^2 + 180x + 92[/tex]
[tex]\begin{array}{ccccccc}x & {0} & {1} & {2} & {3} & {4} & {5} & f(x) & {92} & {362} & {812} & {1442} & {2252} & {3242} \ \end{array}[/tex]
[tex]g(x) = 6^x[/tex]
[tex]\begin{array}{ccccccc}x & {0} & {1} & {2} & {3} & {4} & {5} & g(x) & {1} & {6} & {36} & {216} & {1296} & {7776} \ \end{array}[/tex]
Required
Which of the options is true?
A. At [tex]x \approx 4.39[/tex], f(x) has the same rate of change as g(x)
Rate of change is calculated as:
[tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]
For f(x)
[tex]f(x) = 90x^2 + 180x + 92[/tex]
[tex]f(4.39) = 90*4.39^2 + 180*4.39 + 92 = 2616.689[/tex]
So, the rate of change is:
[tex]m = \frac{2616.689}{4.39} = 596.06[/tex]
For g(x)
[tex]g(x) = 6^x[/tex]
[tex]g(4.39) = 6^{4.39} = 2606.66[/tex]
So, the rate of change is:
[tex]m = \frac{2606.66}{4.39} = 593.77[/tex]
The rate of change of both functions are not equal at x = 4.39. Hence, (a) is false.
B. Rate of change of g(x) is greater than f(x) with increment in x
Using the formula in (a), we have:
[tex]\begin{array}{ccccccc}x & {0} & {1} & {2} & {3} & {4} & {5} & f(x) & {92} & {362} & {812} & {1442} & {2252} & {3242} & m &\infty & 362 & 406 & 480 & 563 &648.4\ \end{array}[/tex]
[tex]\begin{array}{ccccccc}x & {0} & {1} & {2} & {3} & {4} & {5} & g(x) & {1} & {6} & {36} & {216} & {1296} & {7776} & m & \infty & 6 & 18 & 72 & 324 & 1555 \ \end{array}[/tex]
From x = 1 to 4, the rate of change of f is greater than the rate of g.
However, from x = 5, the rate of change of g is greater than the rate of f.
This means that (b) is true.
The above table further shows that (c) and (d) are false.

What is the volume of the cone below? radius is 10 and height is 81
Answer:
0.0000033cm^3
Step-by-step explanation:
V=1/3hπr²
r=10
h=81
V=1/3×81×(22÷7)×20^2
V=1/305,208
V=0.0000033cm^3
how do i find the area of a cone when all i get is radius and theta? radius = 5 theta = 52°
Answer:
11.34464...
Step-by-step explanation:
it is not a 3-dimensional cone, it is a 2-dimensional segment of a circle. and you need to find its area.
which is also why you are asked to find the area, because for a 3-dimensional object you would have been asked about the volume of the surface.
now, about a circle and its segments.
you know how to get the area of a circle ?
it is pi×r²
that is for the full circle.
you know how many degrees it is to go "full circle" ?
360 degrees.
so, here we have only a segment of 52 degrees out of the full 360 degrees.
in other words we are dealing with 52/360 = 13/90 of the full circle.
all we have to do is therefore multiply the area of the full circle with that fraction, and we have our result.
pi×r²×13/90 = pi×5²×13/90 = pi×5×13/18 = 11.34464...
g Kristina Karganova invites 17 relatives to a party: her mother, aunts, uncles, brothers, 1 male cousin, and female cousins. If the chances of any one guest arriving first are equally likely, find the probabilities that the first guest to arrive is as follows. (a) A brother or an uncle (b) A brother or a cousin (c) A brother or her mother (a) The total number of outcomes is nothing and the number of outcomes in the event is nothing.
Answer:
7 / 17 ;
10 / 17 ;
5 / 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Guests :
Mother = 1
Aunts = 3
Uncles = 3
Brothers = 4
Male cousin = 1
Female cousin = 5
_________________
Total guests = 17
Since each of the guests have an equal probability of arrival :
Probability that first guest to arrive :
Brother or uncle :
Number of brothers =4
Number of uncles = 3
P(brother or uncle) = required outcome / Total possible outcomes
Required outcome (number of brothers + uncles) = (4 + 3) = 7
Total possible outcomes = total guests = 17
P(brother or uncle) = 7 / 17
2.)
P(brother or cousin) :
Required outcome = (number of brothers + cousins) = (4 + 1 + 5) = 10
Total possible outcomes = total guests = 17
P(brother or cousin) = 10/17
3.)
P(brother or mother) ;
Required outcome = (number of brothers + mother) = (4+1) = 5
Total possible outcomes = total guests = 17
P(brother or mother) = required outcome / Total possible outcomes = 5 / 17
