(4, 2) and (8, 1) (option D)

Explanation:

The given equation:

y = 4x - 1

comparing with equation of line:

y = mx + c

m = slope = 4

c = y-intercept = -1

For a line to be perpendicular to another line, the slope of one line will be the negative reciprocal of the other line.

We need to find the option which will give a negative reciprocal of 4.

slope=m\text{ = }\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

a) (1, -3) and (2, 1)

\begin{gathered} slope=\text{ }\frac{1-(-3)}{2-1}=\frac{1+3}{1}\text{ = }\frac{\text{4}}{1} \\ \text{slope = 4} \end{gathered}

b) (-4, 7) and (-1, -5)

\begin{gathered} \text{slope = }\frac{-5-7}{-1-(-4)}=\frac{-5-7}{-1+4}=\frac{-12}{3} \\ \text{slope = -4} \end{gathered}

c) (-8, -4) and (0, -2)

\begin{gathered} \text{slope = }\frac{-2-(-4)}{0-(-8)}=\frac{-2+4}{0+8}=\text{ }\frac{2}{8} \\ \text{slope = }\frac{1}{4} \end{gathered}

d) (4, 2) and (8, 1)

\begin{gathered} \text{slope = }\frac{1-2}{8-4} \\ \text{slop}e\text{ }=\frac{-1}{4} \end{gathered}

slope = 4

reciprocal of 4 = 1/4

negative reciprocal = - 1/4

Hence, the option whose slope gives the negative reciprocal of 4 is (4, 2) and (8, 1) (option D)

Answer: 16

Step-by-step explanation:

multiplying by negative exponents can be a little tricky. So (1/4x)^-2 becomes 16/x^2 = __/x^2 so the missing number is 16

raketka [301]

Answer:

10,500

Step-by-step explanation:

You must divide 52,500 by 5.

5 goes into the 5 in 52,500 one time. 5-5 is 0. 5 doesn't go into 2 so put a 0. 5 goes into 25 five times. 25-25 is 0. 5 goes into 5 one time. subtract and add the zeros at end. And you get 10,500

A small airline overbooks flights on the assumption that several passengers will not show up. Suppose that the probability that
olchik [2.2K]

We have 22 tickets sold, and 20 seats. This means that at least 2 passengers must not show up (otherwise, at least 21 passengers will be present, and there wouldn't be space for them).

Considering each passenger as independent, you can think of this experiment. Suppose you toss a coin for each passenger. If the coin lands on heads, the passenger shows up. If it lands on tails, the passenger doesn't show up.

But the coin is unfair: it has a 0.91 probability of landing on heads, and thus 0.09 probability of landing on tails.

This implies that the probability of having exactly k tails is

\binom{22}{k} \cdot 0.09^k \cdot 0.91^{22-k}

We already concluded that at least two passengers must not show up. So, if our coins lands on tails less than twice, we've lost. So, the losing probability is

\displaystyle\binom{22}{0}\cdot 0.09^0 \cdot 0.91^{22} + \binom{22}{1}\cdot 0.09^1 \cdot 0.91^{21} \approx 0.39

Finally, remember the rule to negate events:

P(E) = 1-P(\lnot E)

So, if we lose with probability 0.39, we win with probability

1-0.39 = 0.61
