Answer 1
Answer: The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "d. 2/5." John is playing a game of darts. The probability that he throws a dart into the center of the dart board (the Bull’s eye) is 1/10. The probability that he throws the dart into the 10-point ring is 3/10. The probability that he either hits a Bull's eye or scores 10 points is 2/5
Answer 2
Answer:

Answer: The correct option is (d). (2)/(5).

Step-by-step explanation: Given that John is playing a game of darts. The probability that he throws a dart into the centre of the dart board (the Bull’s eye) is (1)/(10) and the probability that he throws the dart into the 10-point ring is (3)/(10).

We are to find the probability that he either hits a Bull’s eye or scores 10 points.

Let, 'A' and 'B' represents the events that John throws the dart into a Bull's eye and 10-point ring respectively.

Then, according to the given information, we have

P(A)=(1)/(10),~~P(B)=(3)/(10),~~~P(A\cup B)=?

Since John cannot throw the dart into the Bull's eye and 10 point ring together, both the events are independent of each other.

Therefore,

P(A\cap B)=0

From the theorems of probability, we have

P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)=(1)/(10)+(3)/(10)-0=(4)/(10)=(2)/(5).

Therefore, the probability that John either hits a Bull’s eye or scores 10 points is (2)/(5).

Thus, (d) is the correct option.

A garden table and a bench cost $985 combined. The garden table costs $35 more than the bench. What is the cost of the bench?

Answers

let the cost price of bench be x
then cost price of garden table is x+35

total cost = x + x+35
985 = 2x +35
985 -35÷2 =x
425 =×
then the total cost of bench is 425 and garden is 460
985-35=950, 950÷2=475, 475+35=510, 510 and 475

Prove that 2x^2+x+8>0 for all real values of x.

Answers

y = 2x^2 + x + 8 is a polynomial of even degree, with a positive x^2 coefficient, meaning that
- it will have exactly one turning point
- that turning point will be a minimum

So, if the y-coordinate of the turning point is positive, then this polynomial will be positive for all real values of x.

At a turning point, the gradient of y will be equal to 0. The gradient of y is given by 
\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} = 4x + 1.

To find the turning point, set this equal to 0 and solve for x:
4x + 1 = 0 \implies x = -(1)/(4).

Substituting this value into the equation gives
y = 2(-(1)/(4))^2 + (-(1)/(4)) + 8 = (1)/(4) - (1)/(4) + 8 = 8 \ \textgreater \ 0.

Since the minimum point of the equation is greater than 0, the equation will be greater than 0 for all real values of x.
