Sonja [21]2 years ago
6 0

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 50 students and 5 prizes (1 + 1 + 3).

so, already in natural language we would say "there is 1 prize for every 10 students".

formally, remember the rule of probability : desired outcomes over total possible outcomes.

this is here

5/50 = 1/10 = 0.1

your can see it also this way :

if there was only 1 prize, each student would have a chance of 1/50 of winning.

now there are 5 prizes, which gives everybody 5 times the chance of winning. which is then 5×1/50 = 5/50 = 0.1

Which gases are released into the atmosphere when volcanoes erupt?
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

The volcanoes are formed adjacent to a convergent plate boundary, in which the denser plate subducts under a less denser plate. These subducting plates undergoes partial melting at greater depths and the magma is forced to rise up towards the over-riding plate, resulting in the formation of the volcano and chains of volcanoes.

These volcanoes when undergoes eruptions, releases various types of gases. They are such as the Carbon dioxide (CO₂), Water vapor (H₂O), Sulfur dioxide (SO₂), Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) and Carbon monoxide (CO).

These gases are harmful to the atmosphere as it creases the green house effect thereby increasing the earth's global temperature.

Write the equation for the quadratic function in standard form
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

y=x^2+6x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the quadratic in standard form, begin by writing it in vertex form

y = a(x-h)^2+k

Where (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola.

Here the vertex is (-3,-2). Substitute and write:

y=a(x--3)^2+-2\\y=a(x+3)^2-2

To find a, substitute one point (x,y) from the parabola into the equation and solve for a. Plug in (0,7) a y-intercept of the parabola.

7=a((0)+3)^2-2\\7=a(3)^2-2\\7=9a-2\\9=9a\\1=a

The vertex form of the equation is y=(x+3)^2-2.

To write in standard form, convert vertex form through the distributive property.

y=(x+3)^2-2\\y=(x^2+6x+9)-2\\y=x^2+6x+7

The length of a rectangle is 5 in. more than 3 times its width. the area of the rectangle is 50in.2. a quadratic function repres
Goshia [24]
The domain is actually the x value of the function, so we need to find the value of x
suppose the width is x, the length is then 3x+5
the area is 50^2 inches, so x(3x+5)=50 => 3x^2+5x-50=0
Factor this quadratic equation: (x-5)(3x+10)=0 =>x=5 or x=-10/3
width can not be negative, so the width is 5
the domain is x=5
