The value of x when the line segment st is dilated to create line s't' about point q is 2.5 units

<h3>How to determine the value of x?</h3>

The given parameters are:

qs = 2

qt = 1.2

tt' = 1.5

ss' = x

To calculate the value of x, we make use of the following equivalent ratio

ss' : qs = tt' : qt

So, we have:

x : 2 = 1.5 : 1.2

Express as fractions

x/2 = 1.5/1.2

Multiply both sides by 2

x = 2 * 1.5/1.2

Evaluate the product

x = 2.5

Hence, the value of x is 2.5 units

Vas happenin!!

A proper function is when the x value is NOT repeating


This choice is repeating X’s. So it’s not a function


Hope this helps

Statistics show that about 42% of Americans voted in the previous national election. If three Americans are randomly selected, w
MrRa [10]

Answer:

19.51% probability that none of them voted in the last election

Step-by-step explanation:

For each American, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they voted in the previous national election, or they did not. The probability of an American voting in the previous election is independent of other Americans. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

42% of Americans voted in the previous national election.

This means that p = 0.42

Three Americans are randomly selected

This means that n = 3

What is the probability that none of them voted in the last election

This is P(X = 0).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{3,0}.(0.42)^{0}.(0.58)^{3} = 0.1951

19.51% probability that none of them voted in the last election

A bouncy ball is dropped such that the height of its first bounce is 5.5 feet and each successive bounce is 64% of the previous
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

  0.4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

It can be convenient to let a spreadsheet compute the values for you. Here, we have written an explicit formula for the height of the n-th bounce:

  h = 5.5×0.64^(n-1)

We have written the formula this way because we are given the height of the first bounce, not the starting height. Each bounce multiplies the height by a factor of 0.64. Then the 7th bounce will have a height of ...

  h = 5.5×0.64^6 ≈ 0.378 ≈ 0.4 . . . . feet
