A box's volume is equal to 600 cubic
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Length = x
width = x - 7
height = x - 10
volume = 600 in^3
Volume = L * w * h
600 = x * (x - 7)*(x - 10)
600 = x * (x^2 - 17x + 70)
600 = x^3 - 17x^2 + 70x
x^3 - 17x^2 + 70x - 600 = 0
There is a genius somewhere that could solve this using algebra. The rest of us have 2 choices. We can graph it (see below) or we could use a program that solves it for us. I'll do both for you.
a = 1
b = - 17
c = 70
d = - 600
There is only 1 real solution: x = 15
L = 15
w = 8
h = 5
That has to be one of the ugliest graphs made. It does into the hundreds of thousands and it still looks like a straight line. Trust me. It's not.

Answer:
A) 0.1538
Step-by-step explanation:
4 members are going to be chosen:
M1 - M2 - M3 - M4
We have to find the probability that for each member, one without experience is chosen. There is no replacents.
Initially, we have 15 students, of which 10 have none experience. So the probability that M1 is chosen as a student with no experience is .
Then, there are 14 students, of which 9 have no experience. So the probability that M2 is chosen as a student with no experience is .
For the third member, there are 13 students, of which 8 have no experience. So the probability that M3 is chosen as a student with no experience is .
For the last member, there are 12 students, of which 7 have no experience. So the probability that M4 is chosen as a student with no experience is .
What is the probability that none of the members chosen for the team have any competition experience?
This is
The correct answer is:
A) 0.1538
