Which step should be taken next to construct a line through point P perpendicular to BA?

Answer:

Refer picture enclosed

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a line BA and a point P.  We have to construct a line perpendicular to BA through P.

Case I: P lies on the line BA

Without loss of generality assume BP is smaller than AP.

Cut an arc C on AB from P such that BP=CP

Now with B and C as centres draw arc up and down the line with more than half length of BC

Join the intersecting of arcs.  That line is the perpendicular for BA through P.

This is because of concurrency of two triangles above the line BC

Case2:

P lies outside the line.  Measure PB and cut an arc of BA with length PB

Let the point be C

Then CP=BP

NOw do as we did before the line with arcs more than 1/2 length of BC from B and C only down.  Join the point of intersection down with P.  This line will be perpendicular through P to BA

Which equation represents a quadratic function?<br> y = x2<br> y = 2x<br><br> y =1/x^2
ehidna [41]

Answer:

  y = x²

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic function is a polynomial function that has a variable to the power of 2 as the highest degree term. y = 1/x^2 is not a polynomial. y=2x is a linear function.

  y = x^2 is a quadratic function

You have quarters and dimes that total $2.80. your friends says its possible that the number of quarters is 8 more than the numb
Sidana [21]

\text{Let the number of dimes be x, then as per the friend the number of }\\&#10;\text{quarters should be 8 more than dimes, so number of quarters}=x+8\\&#10;\\&#10;\text{we know that the value of 1 dime is }\$ 0.10 \text{ value of one quarter is }\$0.25\\&#10;\\&#10;\text{And since the total value of quarters and dimes is }\$2.80, \text{ so we have}\\&#10;\\&#10;0.10(x)+0.25(x+8)=2.80\\&#10;\\&#10;\Rightarrow 0.10x+0.25x+2=2.80\\&#10;\\&#10;\Rightarrow 0.35x=2.80-2\\&#10;\\&#10;\Rightarrow 0.35x=0.80

\Rightarrow x=\frac{0.80}{0.35}=2.29\\&#10;\\&#10;\text{so if we take 2 dimes then we'll have to take 10 quarters according to friend.}\\&#10;\\&#10;\text{So the statement of friend is } WRONG

In a lottery game, a player picks six numbers from 1 to 27. If the player matches all six numbers, they win 40,000 dollars. Othe
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

We conclude that  expected value of this game is -0.865$.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that in a lottery game, a player picks six numbers from 1 to 27.

We know that

C_6^{27}=296010

As there is only one advantageous combination, we conclude that the number of non-winning combinations is 296009.

He can win 40,000 dollars.

We calculate:

E(X)=\frac{1}{296010}\cdot 40000\$- \frac{296009}{296010}\cdot 1\$\\\\E(X)=\frac{40000-296009}{296010}\, \$\\\\E(X)=-0.865\, \$

We conclude that  expected value of this game is -0.865$.
