Answer:

160/1001, 175/1001

Step-by-step explanation:

i) We calculate:

₈C₁ methods to select 1 new camera from a selection of 8

₆C₃ methods to select 3 refurbished cameras from a selection of 8

₁₄C₄ methods to select 4 cameras from the total of 14 cameras

The probability formula is:

P = ₈C₁ ₆C₃ / ₁₄C₄

P = 8×20 / 1001

P = 160 / 1001

P ≈ 0.160

ii) For at most one new camera, it means we want either one new camera or none at all. We've calculated the probability of selecting one new camera already. The probability of not selecting any new camera is equivalent to selecting 4 refurbished cameras:

P = ₆C₄ / ₁₄C₄

P = 15 / 1001

Therefore, the combined probability is:

P = 160/1001 + 15/1001

P = 175/1001

P ≈ 0.175

Inessa [12570]

Answer:

3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The temperature change after an hour shows an increase of 5 degrees. To calculate how long it takes to reach 60 degrees, we first find the difference from the current temperature to 60 degrees.

60 - 45 = 15 degrees

Since a rise of 5 degrees occurs in one hour, we divide 15 by 5 to find out how many hours are needed to reach 60 degrees.

15 / 5 = 3 hours

Which shows the factored form of x2 – 12x – 45?
AnnZ [12381]
Hello!

(x+a)·(x+b) equals x²+xa+xb+ab which simplifies to x²-12x-45

x² equals x²
xa+xb can be expressed as (a+b)x = -12x thus, (a+b) = -12
ab equals -45

Under what conditions do (a+b) equal -12 and ab equal -45?

+3-15 results in -12 while (+3)(-15) gives -45
-3-15 yields -18 and (-3)(-15) results in +45
+3+15 produces +18 and (+3)(+15) also equal to +45
-3+15 equals +12 and (-3+15) results in -45

Conclusion:

(x+3)(x-15)

−7x−50≤−1 AND−6x+70>−2
PIT_PIT [12445]

Answer:

-7\geq x and [-7,12) expressed in interval notation.

Step-by-step explanation:

A compound inequality -7x-50\leq -1\text{ and }-6x+70>-2 has been provided. Our task is to determine the solution for this inequality.

Initially, we will address each inequality independently, followed by merging the findings by combining the overlapping intervals.

-7x-50\leq -1

-7x-50+50\leq -1+50

-7x\leq 49

By dividing with a negative number, it is necessary to reverse the inequality sign:

\frac{-7x}{-7}\geq \frac{49}{-7}

x\geq -7

-6x+70>-2

-6x+70-70>-2-70

-6x>-72

Again, dividing by a negative requires flipping the inequality sign:

\frac{-6x}{-6}

x

In combining both intervals, we will arrive at:

-7\geq x

Thus, the solution for the inequality provided is -7\geq x and [-7,12) in interval notation.

Express x in term of y:x/7+2y=6​
AnnZ [12381]

Answer:

You need to multiply the denorminator both sides in order to form x note the subject:

\frac{x}{7 + 2y} = 6

x = 6(7 + 2y)
