5 0

Answer:

0.5021 or about 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

chance of getting heads is 1 out of 2 =1/2

chance of getting 1or 6 is 2 out of 6 = 2/6

1/2 * 2/6= 2/12 reduced to   1/6

each turn you have a 1 0ut of 6 chance of winning

16% chance of winning so an 84% chance of losing

chance of losing  4 times is .84 ^4  =0.4979

chance of winning  is 1-(.84^4)= 0.5021

What is the slope of a perpendicular line 2x + y = 6<br><br> is answer -2
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

The slope that is perpendicular to the line will be:

m_2=+\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation

2x\:+\:y\:=\:6\:

We know that

y=mx+b is the slope-intercept form of a line where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

So, writing the equation in the slope-intercept form

2x\:+\:y\:=\:6\:

\:y=-2x+6

here

m=-2        ∵  y=mx+b        

As we know that for perpendicular lines, one slope is the negative reciprocal of the other.

Therefore, the slope that is perpendicular to the line will be:

m_2=+\frac{1}{2}

Which values of P and Q result in an equation with no solutions?
Ad libitum [116K]

Try this solution/explanation:

<u>way 1</u>:

rule: for an equation where no roots P+Q=0. It means, Px-Qx=0, ⇔ x(P-Q)=0, ⇔ P=Q.

for answer 'D' P=Q=15.

<u>way 2</u>:

rule: if an equation of the line has a form y=kx+b, then y₁||y₂ if k₁=k₂. It means, for y₁=Px-45 || y₂=Qx+75, then P=Q. P=Q, if 'D' answer.

Answer: D
