Answer:

0.25, 25%, or 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two possibilities for each coin: heads or tails. So the chance of getting heads for the first flip is 50%, or 1/2. To find the probability for both, you multiply 1/2*1/2 and get 1/4.

is picking out some movies to rent, and he has narrowed down his selections to 5 documentaries, 7 comedies, 4 mysteries, and 5 h

pogonyaev

Answer: 91

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The number of documentaries = 5

The number of comedies = 7

The number of mysteries = 4

The number of horror films =5

The total number of movies other than comedy = 14

Now, the number of possible combinations of 9 movies can he rent if he wants all 7 comedies is given by :-

$^7C_7\times^{14}C_2\\\\\dfrac{7!}{7!(7-7)!}\times\dfrac{14!}{2!(14-2)!}\\\\=(1)\times\dfrac{14\times13}{2}\\\\=91$

Therefore, the number of possible combinations of 9 movies can he rent if he wants all 7 comedies is 91 .

What are the coordinates of the hole in the graph of the function?

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

The hole is at (5,7)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 − 3x − 10

-------------------

x−5

Factor the numerator

(x-5)(x+2)

-------------------

x−5

There is a hole at x=5 since it will cancel in the numerator and the denominator

f(x) = x+2 and letting x = 5

f(5) = 5+2

The hole is at (5,7)

The table represents a linear function. find the values of a,b, and c. Show your work.

viva [34]

Answer:

The values of a , b , c are ⇒ a = 1 , b = 10 , c = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets describe the meaning of the linear function

- Linear function is represented by a line graphically

- The equation of the line is y = mx + c, where m is the slope

of the line and c is the y-intercept (the point of intersection

between the line and the y-axis is (0 , c))

- m = change of y/change of x

- We can find m from any two points on the line

* Lets use m to find a, b and c

- Use the points (3 , 8) and (5 , 9) to find m

∵ m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

∴ m = (9 - 8)/(5 - 3) = 1/2

- Find a by using points (a , 7) and (3 , 8) ⇒ (or (5 , 9))

∵ m = (8 - 7)/(3 - a) = 1/2

∴ 1/(3 - a) = 1/2 ⇒ by using cross multiplication

∴ 3 - a = 2 ⇒ subtract 3 from both sides

∴ -a = -1 ⇒ × -1 both sides

∴ a = 1

- Find b by using points (5 , 9) and (7 , b) ⇒ (or (3 , 8))

∵ m = (b - 9)/(7 - 5) = (b - 9)/2

∴ (b - 9)/2 = 1/2 ⇒ by using cross multiplication

∴ 2(b - 9) = 2 ⇒ open the bracket

∴ 2b - 18 = 2 ⇒ add 18 to both sides

∴ 2b = 20 ⇒ ÷ 2

∴ b = 10

- Find b by using points (5 , 9) and (c , 11) ⇒ (or (3 , 8))

∵ m = (11 - 9)/(c - 5) = 2/(c - 5)

∴ 2/(c - 5) = 1/2 ⇒ by using cross multiplication

∴ c - 5 = 4 ⇒ add 5 to both sides

∴ c = 9

* The values of a , b , c are ⇒ a = 1 , b = 10 , c = 9
