Question 14(Multiple Choice Worth 1 points)

There are 95 white pieces of paper in a hat along with 5 blue pieces of paper. What is the theoretical probability that a blind-

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the likelihood of an event taking place.

-Given there are 95 white and 5 blue pieces, the total number of papers is 100.

-The theoretical first attempt probability is equivalent to the number of each paper divided by the total:

$P(blue)= \frac{no \ of \ blue}{total}\\\\=\frac{5}{100}\\\\=0.05$

Hence, the theoretical probability that a blind-folded person draws a blue piece of paper on the first attempt is 0.05 or 5%

The speed intervals such that the mileage of the vehicle described is 20 miles per gallon or less are: v ∈ [10 mi/h, 20 mi/h] ∪ [50 mi/h, 75 mi/h]

<h3>How to determine the range of speed associate to desired gas mileages</h3>

In this question we have a quadratic function of the gas mileage (g), in miles per gallon, in terms of the vehicle speed (v), in miles per hour. Based on the information given in the statement we must solve for v the following quadratic function:

g = 10 + 0.7 · v - 0.01 · v² (1)

An effective approach consists in using a graphing tool, in which a horizontal line (g = 20) is applied on the maximum desired mileage such that we can determine the speed intervals. The speed intervals such that the mileage of the vehicle is 20 miles per gallon or less are: v ∈ [10 mi/h, 20 mi/h] ∪ [50 mi/h, 75 mi/h].

The axis of symmetry for the function f(x) = –2x2 + 4x + 1 is the line x = 1. Where is the vertex of the function located?

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

(1, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the h coordinate of the vertex as 1, but in order to find the k coordinate, you have to complete the square on the parabola. The first few steps are as follows. Set the parabola equal to 0 so you can solve for the vertex. Separate the x terms from the constant by moving the constant to the other side of the equals sign. The coefficient HAS to be a +1 (ours is a -2 so we have to factor it out). Let's start there. The first 2 steps result in this polynomial:

$-2x^2+4x=-1$ . Now we factor out the -2:

$-2(x^2-2x)=-1$ . Now we complete the square. This process is to take half the linear term, square it, and add it to both sides. Our linear term is 2x. Half of 2 is 1, and 1 squared is 1. We add 1 into the set of parenthesis. But we actually added into the parenthesis is +1(-2). The -2 out front is a multiplier and we cannot ignore it. Adding in to both sides looks like this:

$-2(x^2-2x+1)=-1-2$ . Simplifying gives us this:

$-2(x^2-2x+1)=-3$

On the left we have created a perfect square binomial which reflects the h coordinate of the vertex. Stating this binomial and moving the -3 over by addition and setting the polynomial equal to y:

$-2(x-1)^2+3=y$

From this form,

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

you can determine the coordinates of the vertex to be (1, 3)

12.Divide. (x^2+2x+1/x^2-8x+16)/(x+1/x^2-16

lina2011 [118]

For this case we have the following expression:
(x ^ 2 + 2x + 1 / x ^ 2-8x + 16) / (x + 1 / x ^ 2-16)
Rewriting we have:
(((x + 1) (x + 1)) / ((x-4) (x-4))) / (x + 1 / ((x + 4) (x-4)))
Then, we cancel similar terms:
((x + 1) / (x-4)) / (1 / (x + 4))
Rewriting:
((x + 1) (x + 4)) / (x-4)
Answer:
((x + 1) (x + 4)) / (x-4)
