Given h(x)=5x-3 and j(x)=-2x.

So, j(2) = -2*2 = -4

So, h[j(2)] = h(-4)= (5*-4) -3 = -20-3 = -23

Hence option D is correct.

Question 3<br> Find the equation of the line joining (-2,4) and (3,7)

otez555 [7]

Answer:

y = (3/5)x+26/5 or 5y = 3x+26

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying,

The equation of a line in two point form

(y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁) = (y-y₁)/(x-x₁)............... Equation 1

From the question,

Given: y₂ = 7, y₁ = 4, x₂ = 3, x₁ = -2

Substitute these values into equation 1

(7-4)/[3-(-2)] = (y-4)/(x+2)

3/5 = (y-4)/(x+2)

5(y-4) = 3(x+2)

5y-20 = 3x+6

5y = 3x+6+20

5y = 3x+26

y = (3/5)x+26/5

Hence the equation of the line is y = (3/5)x+26/5 or 5y = 3x+26

A box has 11 marbles, 3 of which are white and 8 of which are red. A sample of 4 marbles are selected randomly from the box with

aliina [53]

14/99

Select 1 marble; the chance that it is white is 4/12. Select a 2nd marble; the chance that it is white is 3/11. Select a 3rd; the chance it is white is 2/10. Select a 4th; the chance it is red is 8/9. Select a 5th; the chance it is red is 7/8. The chance of getting this specific set of 5 marbles in this order is (4/12)×(3/11)×(2/10)×(8/9)×(7/8)=(2×7)/(11×10×9).

This specific set could occur in the permutation of 5 things taken 5 at a time where 3 are identical (white), and the other 2 are also identical (red). The formula for this is 5!/(3!2!)=10.

Combining the chance of getting white, white, white, red, red with the number of ways 3 white and 2 red could have been distributed in the draw of 5 marbles gives the answer:

{(2×7)/(11×10×9)}×10=14/99

A similar process will show that the chance of getting 5 red marbles is 7/99; 4 white and 1 red is 1/99; 2 white and 3 red is 42/99; and 1 white and 4 red is 35/99.

Carlos deposited $7,924 into a savings account 30 years ago. The account has an interest rate of 4.6% and the balance is current

exis [7]

Answer:

n = 1, this means the interest compounds ANNUALLY.

Step-by-step explanation:

Carlos deposited $7,924 into a savings account 30 years ago. The account has an interest rate of 4.6% and the balance is currently $30,541.83. How often does the interest compound?

Compound Interest Formula

: A = P(1 + r/n)^nt

A = Amount after time t

P = Principal (Initial Amount Invested)

r = Interest rate

n = Number of times the interest is compounded

t = time in years

A = $30,541.83

r = 4.6% = 0.046

t = 30

P = $7,924

Hence,

$30,541.83 = $7924(1 + 0.046/n)^30n

Divide both sides by 7924

$30,541.93/$7924 = (1 + 0.046/n)^30n

$30,541.93/$7924 = (n + 0.046/n)^30n

3.8543576477 = (n + 0.046/n)^30n

We take the logarithm of both sides

log 3.8543576477 = log (n + 0.046/n)^30n

Solving for n,

n = 1

Therefore, from the calculation above, since n = 1, this means the interest compounds ANNUALLY.

Jamie has a bag containing purple, pink, yellow, and blue marbles. There are a total of 40 marbles in the bag. Jamie randomly se

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

1 pink marble

Step-by-step explanation:

If Jamie selected 10 times the pink marble in a total of 420 tries, we can assume that the proportion of pink marble in the total number of marbles is:

10 / 420 = 1/42

So to predict a good number of pink marbles in the total 40 marbles, we just need to multiply the 40 marbles by the proportion found above:

pink marble = 40 * (1/42) = 0.9524

As this number needs to be a whole number, a good assumption is that there is 1 pink marble in the 40 marbles.
