Answer:

The Correct option is C ) 25

Therefore the value of x is 25 when y =40.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Variable 'y' is directly proportional to the variable 'x'.

\therefore y=kx     ......Direct Variation

Where,

k = Constant of proportionality

To Find:

value of x = ? when y = 40

Solution:

First we need to find Constant of proportionality

When x = 20 and y = 32

Substituting the values we get

32=k\times 20\\k=\dfrac{32}{20}=1.6\\\\k=1.6

Now when k =1.6 , y = 40 then x will be

40=1.6\times x\\\\x=\dfrac{40}{1.6}=25\\\\x=25

Therefore the value of x is 25 when y =40.

An urn contains 2 red marbles and 3 blue marbles. 1. One person takes two marbles at random from the urn and does not replace th
Ghella [55]

Answer:

A) The best way to picture this problem is with a probability tree, with two steps.

The first branch, the person can choose red or blue, being 2 out of five (2/5) the chances of picking a red marble and 3 out of 5 of picking a blue one.

The probabilities of the second pick depends on the first pick, because it only can choose of what it is left in the urn.

If the first pick was red marble, the probabilities of picking a red marble are 1 out of 4 (what is left of red marble out of the total marble left int the urn) and 3 out of 4 for the blue marble.

If the first pick was the blue marble, there is 2/4 of chances of picking red and 2/4 of picking blue.

B) So a person can have a red marble and a blue marble in two ways:

1) Picking the red first and the blue last

2) Picking the blue first and the red last

C) P(R&B) = 3/5 = 60%

Step-by-step explanation:

C) P(R&B) = P(RB) + P(BR) = (2/5)*(3/4) + (3/5)*(2/4) = 3/10 + 3/10 = 3/5

A bolt falls off an airplane at an altitude of 500 m. How long will it take the bolt to reach
Rudik [331]

Answer:

t = sqrt(500/4.9) =~ 10.1 seconds/ Answer: 10.1015 seconds (this is approximate)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use 4.9t^2 + v0t = s

a) A bolt falls off an airplane at an altitude of 500 m. Approximately how long does it take the bolt to reach the ground?

s = 4.9t^2 + v0t = 500

4.9t^2 = 500

t = sqrt(500/4.9) =~ 10.1 seconds

Part A)

v = initial velocity = 0

s = 500 = vertical distance the object travels (from plane to ground)  

Plug in the given values and solve for t

4.9t^2 + v*t = s

4.9t^2 + 0*t = 500

4.9t^2 + 0 = 500

4.9t^2 = 500

t^2 = 500/4.9

t^2 = 102.04081632653

t = sqrt(102.04081632653)

t = 10.101525445522

t = 10.1015

Answer: 10.1015 seconds (this is approximate)

What is the reflection of point P(-1, 6) across the line y = x?
gladu [14]
If you are reflecting across the line y = x, then the x value becomes the y-vale and the y-value becomes the x-value.  So the answer would be  (6, -1)  (Just trade places with x and y.)

What does it mean to analyze a graph and write a story for a function? Explain and give an example.
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To analyse a graph you are meant to determine a general trend, relating the results of an experiment to the hypothesis as well as to form. For example you look at all the values in a line graph and you are yo predict one you are to find its common increase or decrease.

If all possible vertical lines will only cross the relation in one place, then the relation is a function.This works because if a vertical line crosses a relation in more than one place it means that there must be two y values corresponding to one x value in that relation.

Find the Maclaurin series for f(x) using the definition of a Maclaurin series. [Assume that f has a power series expansion. Do n
Mazyrski [523]

We can use the fact that, for |x|,

\displaystyle\frac1{1-x}=\sum_{n=0}^\infty x^n

Notice that

\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\left[\dfrac1{1-x}\right]=\dfrac1{(1-x)^2}

so that

f(x)=\displaystyle\frac5{(1-x)^2}=5\frac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\left[\sum_{n=0}^\infty x^n\right]

f(x)=\displaystyle5\sum_{n=0}^\infty nx^{n-1}

f(x)=\displaystyle5\sum_{n=1}^\infty nx^{n-1}

f(x)=\displaystyle5\sum_{n=0}^\infty(n+1)x^n

By the ratio test, this series converges if

\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}\left|\frac{(n+2)x^{n+1}}{(n+1)x^n}\right|=|x|\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{n+2}{n+1}=|x|

so the series has radius of convergence R=1.
