A building casts a shadow 48 feet long. At the same time, a 40-foot-tall flagpole casts a shadow 9.6 feet long what is the heigh

48 : x = 9.6 : 40

9.6x = 1920

x = 1920 / 9.6

x = <u>200 ft.</u>

The probability that Brock scores a penalty kick is LaTeX: \frac{3}{10}3 10 . If he shoots 50 penalty kicks, how many "goals" ca

Feliz [49]

Answer:

15 goals out of 50 penalty kicks was scored by brock

Step-by-step explanation:

If Brock shoots 50 penalty kicks and the probability that he scores a penalty kick is 3/10, the number of goal brock is expected to make can be expressed as:

Number of goals scored = probability value * total penalty kicks taken

Number of goals scored = $\frac{3}{10}*50$

Number of goals scored = $15 goals$

Answer:

$( - 2 {x}^{4} {y}^{ - 3} )^{4} = \frac{16 {x}^{16}}{ {y}^{12} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to simplify:

$( - 2 {x}^{4} {y}^{ - 3} )^{4}$

We need to apply the exponential property for products of powers.

Recall that:

$( {a}^{m} \times {a}^{n} )^{p} = {a}^{mp} \times {a}^{np}$

We apply this rule to get:

$( - 2 {x}^{4} {y}^{ - 3} )^{4} = ( { - 2)}^{4} x \times {x}^{16} \times {y}^{ - 12}$

This simplifies to:

$( - 2 {x}^{4} {y}^{ - 3} )^{4} = 16 {x}^{16} \times {y}^{ - 12}$

We rewrite as positive index to get:

$( - 2 {x}^{4} {y}^{ - 3} )^{4} = \frac{16 {x}^{16}}{ {y}^{12} }$

Heyy pls help! worth 20 points, and please only help if you know the answer. also no links those r kinda annoying lol

Step 1: Find the slope:

$m= \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}= \dfrac{-2-7}{4-(-2)} = \dfrac{-9}{6}= -\dfrac{3}{2}$

This gives you $y=-\dfrac{3}{2}x+b$ , but we need to find b.

To find b, substitute in one (x,y) pair and it doesn't matter which one. I'll go with (4,-2):

$\begin{aligned}-2&=-\dfrac{3}{2}(4)+b\\[0.5em]-2&=-6+b\\[0.5em]4&=b\end{aligned}$

Now take that b-value and plug in into the slope-intercept form:

$y=-\dfrac{3}{2}x+4$

It's always a good idea to toss in the other x-value from the other point, to make sure it checks out.
