A multiple choice exam has 100 questions, each with 5 choices. If a student randomly guesses the answer to a question on the exa

m, what is the probability that he will get that answer correct?

If it’s just the probability of 1 question it would be 1/5 but if they guess on every question it’s 100/500

The sum of two positive integers, x and y, is not more than 40. The difference of the two integers is at least 20. Chaneece choo

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

The value of x lies between 20 and 40 and value of y lies between -20 and 10

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

$y\leq 40-x$ ....(1)

$y\leq x-20$ ...(2)

First we convert inequality equation into equality equation to find the solution of the given system of inequality equation.

Therefore, we can write as

$y=-x+40$ ...(3)

$y=x-20$ ...(4)

Adding equation (3) and (4) we get

$2y=20$

$y=10$

Substitute y=10 in equation (3) we get

$10=40-x$

$x=40-10=30$

(30,10) is the intersect point of two equation.

Put x=0 in equation (3)

$y=40$

Substitute y=0 in equation (3)

$x=40$

Substitute x=0 in equation (4)

$y=-20$

Substitute y=0 in equation (4)

$x=20$

Substitute x=0 and y=40 and in equation (1)

$40\leq 40$

Hence, the equation is true.Therefore, the shaded region below the line.

Substitute x=0 and y=-20 in equation (2)

$-20\leq -20$

The equation is true. Hence, the shaded region is below the line.

Hence, the value of x lies between 20 and 40 and value of y lies between -20 and 10.

Xanthia can read 100 pages per hour and Molly can read 50 pages per hour. If they each read the same book, and the book has 225

Talja [164]

Answer:

135 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

y -----> the number of pages to finish reading the book

x ----> the number of hours

we know that

The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

where

m is the unit rate or slope of the linear equation

b is the y-intercept or initial value

In this problem we have

<em>Xanthia</em>

$m=100\ pages/hour$

$b=225\ pages$

$y=-100x+225$ ----> the slope is negative because is a decreasing function

For y=0

substitute and solve for x

$0=-100x+225$

$100x=225$

$x=2.25\ hours$ ---> Xanthia's time to finish reading the book

<em>Molly</em>

$m=50\ pages/hour$

$b=225\ pages$

$y=-50x+225$ ----> the slope is negative because is a decreasing function

For y=0

$0=-50x+225$

$50x=225$

$x=4.5\ hours$ --- Molly's time to finish reading the book

To find out how many more minutes than Xanthia would it take for Molly to finish reading the book, subtract Xanthia's time from Molly's time

$4.5\ h-2.25\ h=2.25\ h$

Convert to minutes

Multiply by 60

$2.25\ h=2.25(60)=135\ minutes$

If a graph of y=-4x +2 were changed to a graph of y=-4x+5, how would the y- intercept change?

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

So if y=-4x+2 was changed to y=-4x+5, then the y-intercept would increase by 3.

The y-intercept was (0,2) then it becomes (0,5) in the new line.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form a line is y=mx+b where m is the slope and the y-intercept is b.

Both of these equations given are in this form.

y=-4x+2 when compared to y=mx+b you see that m=-4 and b=2.

Since b=2 then the y-intercept is 2.

y=-4x+5 when compared to y=mx+b you see that m=-4 and b=5.

Since b=5 then the y-intercept is 5.

So if y=-4x+2 was changed to y=-4x+5, then the y-intercept would increase by 3.
