There are 36 possible outcomes when rolling a pair of 6-sided dice. There are 2 ways to make 11 and one way to make 12. That is a total of 3 successful outcomes if success is defined as a result greater than 10.



I know that answer is not one of your choices, but I can't help that. You can't bend the laws of probability to fit a set of four incorrect answers.

Numbers_Word_Problems/232959: The number of candy in the jar is a 3 digit number.
The sum of the digits is odd.
When you divide the number by 2 you have a remainer of 1.
When you divide the number by 10 you have a remainder of 3.
The sum of the units digits and the tens digit is 1 less than the hundredths digit.
The units digit is half the sum of the hundredths digit and the tens digit.

The fact that the sum of the digits is odd and that when you divide the number by 2 the remainder is 1 are both fascinating facts but are not particularly useful in solving the problem.

The fact integer division by 10 has a remainder of 3 guarantees that the last or units digit is 3. Let represent the tens digit, and let represent the hundreds digit.

The sum of the units digit and the tens digit, is (meaning equals) one less than the hundreds digit. , so:



Add 1 to both sides:



The units digit is half the sum of the hundreds (you said hundredths digit, but there cannot be a hundreths digit because dividing the 3 digit number by 10 resulted in an integer, not a decimal fraction.) digit and the tens digit.



Substitute the expression developed for :



Solve for and then use that value to solve for Then you can reassemble the number by placing the digits in the proper order.

A number line. Filled in dot at -4. Filled in dot at 10. Heavy line connecting the two dots.

The dots are filled in because there are square brackets on each end of the interval meaning the endpoints are included. Contrast this with parentheses on the end of the interval which excludes the end point, and the graph would be an open circle rather than a filled in dot.

Your teacher in advanced algebra has a fiduciary responsibility to answer your questions. She receives a salary to teach you, and teaching you includes answering your questions -- no matter how long it takes. If she really is telling you that she doesn't have time to answer your questions, then she is defrauding you, your parents who pay property taxes to fund her salary, and the school system that employs her. But it is your responsibility to call her on it. After all, you are the one who is not getting the education for which you are paying.

Or did you just make up this stuff about her not having time just to try to improve your chances of getting a homework problem done for you? If the real story is that you can't be bothered to stick around after 7th period to listen to the answers, then you aren't going to get much sympathy here.

The formula for percent change is: where and are the first and second given values respectively. Plug in the numbers and do the arithmetic.

And are you serious that you don't know whether a mark-down is an increase or a decrease? If that is true, please stop wasting time in an advanced algebra class for which you are clearly not prepared.

Construct the perpendicular bisector of each of the sides. The point of intersection of the three bisectors is the circumcenter. It doesn't matter whether the triangle is obtuse or acute -- this works for all triangles.

If your triangle is defined on the coordinate plane, first use the slope formula to determine the slope of the lines containing two of the side segments. Then use the mid-point formulas to determine the mid-points of the same two sides. With the negative reciprocal of the slope and the mid-point, use the point-slope form of the equation of a line to derive the equation of the perpendicular bisector to each of the two sides. Once you have two equations for two of the perpendicular bisectors, solve the system of equations. The solution set of the system of equations will be the ordered pair representing the circumcenter. Again, it doesn't matter whether the triangle is obtuse or not.

But there is only 1 way to get a 2, 2 ways to get a 3, 3 ways to get a 4, up to 6 ways to get a 7, then 5 ways to get 8, and so on.

The prime numbers from 2 through 12 inclusive are: 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11. There is 1 way to get a 2, 2 ways for a 3, 4 ways for a 5, 6 ways for a 7 and 2 ways for 11. Total of 1 + 2 + 4 + 6 + 2 = 15 successful outcomes out of 36 possible outcomes.

"ran", not "ranned" [sic], is the correct singular third-person past tense of the verb "run." English spoken here, if you please.

Average what? Height -- don't know. Math test score -- don't know that either. Oh! you mean her average speed. Ok, in what units? meters per second? kilometers per hour? miles per minute? Angstroms per nanosecond?

Distance equals rate times time, so rate must equal distance divided by time. It is up to you to provide appropriate units. If you divide some quantity of meters by some quantity of seconds, you will get a rate in meters per second.

Let represent the number of hours it would take A to fill the jar by itself. Since A pumps twice as fast as B, it would take B two times longer to fill the jar, so represents the number of hours it would take B to fill the jar by itself.

Since is the amount of time for A to fill the jar, is the amount of the jar that A can fill in 1 hour. Likewise, B can fill in one hour. And together they can fill:



of the jar in 1 hour.

Add 'em up:



And we know it takes 5 hours to fill the jar working together, so we can conclude that together they can fill of the jar in 1 hour, therefore:



Solve for to get the time for A to fill the jar by itself (Hint cross-multiply). B is twice that value.

Answer 171664 by solver91311(17077) About Me  on 2009-10-27 19:30:24 (Show Source):

The domain is the set of values that can be taken by the independent or input variable -- generally the .

You have four ordered pairs in your set, and all of the -coordinates are equal to 1. Therefore the domain is .

The range is the set of all values of the dependent variable resulting from all values of the independent variable. Therefore the range is , which are the four -coordinates.

A relation is a function if and only if every element in the domain corresponds to one and only one element in the range. Here you have the element 1 in the domain that corresponds to 4 different elements in the range. Not a function. If you graphed these four points, you would find that you would be able to draw a vertical line that would contain more than one of the points (in fact, the line would contain all four points). Any time you can find such a vertical line, your relation is NOT a function.

The answer to the question posed would certainly depend on what you mean by "close." On the other hand, the concept of "close" doesn't apply here. An answer that differs from the correct answer by 1 is just as wrong as one that differs by 500. Now, if you would care to write back and show the work you did, perhaps I can find where you made your error.
