If a number is chosen at random from the set {1, 2, 3, 4, . . ., 18}, what is the probability that the number chosen is a factor of 17?

Answers

Answer 1
Looking at the set, we are given 18 elements. 17 is prime; it has only two factors: 1 and 17, since 1•17=17. So, the question is really asking what is the probability the numbers 1 or 17 is chosen. As mentioned earlier, 17 is prime, so there are two possible choices: 1 and 17.

P (probability) = possible outcomes / total outcomes

It is important to note that these events are “or” events, meaning that the probability can only be determined by choosing a 1 or a 17; you can’t randomly chose a 1 and 17 at the same time. So, the formula is:

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B)

All this is saying is that given two possible outcomes, the probability occurs independent of each event; they don’t occur at the same time.

P(1 or 17) = P(1)/18 + P(1)/18

P(1 or 17) = 2/18

Since 17 is prime, it’s two and only factors are 1 and 17. The probability of randomly choosing a 1 or 17 is 2/18, meaning that there are 2 elements in the set out of a possible 18 elements that can be randomly chosen.

2/18 simplifies to 1/9


So, your answer is 1/9

Answers

An algebraic expression to represent the number of kilometres John ran in June month last year is 30a.

Given that, John runs the same number of kilometres each day.

We need to find an algebraic expression to represent the number of kilometres John ran in June month last year

What is an algebraic expression?

An algebraic expression (or) a variable expression is a combination of terms by the operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, etc.

Let us assume that john is running 'a' kilometres per day.

We know that June month composed of total 30 days

So the algebraic expression for the number of kilometres John ran in June last year = Number of kilometres running per day × Number of days in the month of June

=a × 30=30a

Therefore, an algebraic expression to represent the number of kilometres John ran in June month last year is 30a.

In this question, we have been given Mr. Sullivan's employer withheld $19,342.19 in federal income tax.

Elsner has determined that his tax is $23,945.22

We need to find whether he get a refund, or he owes the IRS.

From given information,

Employer withheld in federal taxes last year = $19,342.19

His tax amount is $23,945.22

So by considering the above information, the he owes the additional taxes because the tax amount i.e., $23,945.22 is more than the withheld amount i.e., $19,342.19

So, the additional taxes would be,

$23,945.22 - $19,342.19 = $4603.03

This difference represent the additional taxes owed.

Therefore, he will owe the IRS and the amount is $4603.03

A triangle has angles measuring 45°, 55°, and 80°. It is dilated by a scale factor of 2. What are the angle measures, in order from least to greatest, of the dilated image?

Answers

The angle measures, in order from least to greatest, of the dilated image  45°,55° and 80°.

A dilation is a function f from a metric space M into itself that satisfies the identity d=rd for all points x, y \in M, where d is the distance from x to y and r is some positive real number. In Euclidean space, such a dilation is a similarity of the space.

Euclidean space, In geometry, a two- or three-dimensional space in which the axioms and postulates of Euclidean geometry apply; also, a space in any finite number of dimensions, in which points are designated by coordinates (one for each dimension) and the distance between two points is given by a distance formula.

Dilations preserve angle measures, regardless of the scale factor. Therefore, the angle measures of the image will be the same of that of the pre-image, so our answer is still 45 °, 55 °, and 80 °.

Explanation:

We have these points

A = (-3,6)M = midpoint = (1,2)B = (x,y)

Focus on the x coordinates for now.

The x coordinates of A and B are -3 and x in that order. Add them up and divide in half to get the x coordinate of the midpoint M

(-3+x)/2 = 1

-3+x = 2*1

-3+x = 2

x = 2+3

Answers

The inverse of the function is; f⁻¹(x) = - 15 ± √(x + 225)

What is the Inverse of the Function?

We have been given a quadratic function f(x) =  x(x + 30) and we need to restrict the domain such that it becomes a one to one function.

Now, the given function can also be written in vertex form as;

f(x) = (x + 15)² - 225

We know that vertex of this quadratic function occurs at (-15, -225).

Further, we know that range of this function is (-225, ∞).

If we restrict the domain of this function to either (-∞, -225) or (-225, ∞) , it will become one to one function.

Let us know find its inverse;

y =  (x + 15)² - 225

Upon interchanging x and y, we get:

x =  (y + 15)² - 225

Solving for y gives;

y = - 15 ± √(x + 225)

Thus, the inverse of the function is;

f⁻¹(x) = - 15 ± √(x + 225)

When a three-digit number written in base 10 has its final digit moved to the beginning, the result is the same number written in base 7. find all such numbers

Answers

There is no such number that has the result is the same number written in base 7 and base 10.

Decimal and Octal numbers:

Decimal system is most familiar number system to the general public. It is base 10 which has only 10 symbols − 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9.

Whereas octal system is one of the number systems to represent numbers. It is base 8 which has only 8 symbols − 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.

Given,

When a three-digit number written in base 10 has its final digit moved to the beginning, the result is the same number written in base 7.

Here we need to find all such numbers.

Let abc be the starting number, where the catenated letters represent digits, and not factors like in the product

=> a x b x c

And each of a,b, and c can be elements of the list,

=> {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0}

Except a≠0.

Since abc is a base-10 numeral, we can also write it as

=> 10²a + 10¹b + 10⁰c

Which can be expanded as,

=> 100a + 10b + c ----------------------(1)

Moving the last digits to the first slot makes the new number,

=> 100c + 10a + b------------------------(2)

So, here the value c≠0.

We know that, the digits in the base-10 numeral cab are identical to those of the base-7 numeral that is written as cab₇.

In the equation form it is equal to,

=> 7²c + 7¹a + 7⁰b

=> 49c + 7a + b ---------------------(3)

but since we're working in base 7 now, the digits a,b, and c cannot exceed 6.

Now, we want to solve for a, b, and c such that

By equalizing the equations 2 and 3,

=> 100c + 10a + b = 49c + 7a + b

=> 100c + 10a + b - 49c - 7a - b

=> (100 - 49)c + (10 - 7)a

=> 51c + 3a

=> 3 (17c + a)

Both a and c must be positive, but this equation has solution,

=> a = -17c

So there are no positive integers solutions, and hence no such number.

Answers

The solution of the given linear equation 2r−2p= n in two variables for p is r -n/2.

According to the given question.

We have a linear equation in two variables 2r - 2p = n.

Here we have to solve the given linear equation 2r - 2p = n in two variables for p.

So, the solution of the equation 2r - 2p = n for p is given by

2r - 2p  = n

⇒ 2(r - p) = n    (taking 2 as a common)

⇒ r - p = n/2     (dividing both the sides by 2)

⇒ r - n/2 - p = 0     (subtracting n/2 from both the sides)

⇒ r - n/2 = p            (adding p both the sides)

⇒ p = r -n/2

Hence, the solution of the given linear equation 2r−2p= n in two variables for p is r -n/2.
