P = 4x + 2y

additional info.
x+2y < 10
y < 2
x > 0
y > 0

y can only be 0, 1, and 2.

x + 2(0) < 10 = x < 10
x + 2(1) < 10 = x + 3 < 10 = x < 10 - 3 = x < 7
x + 2(2) < 10 = x + 4 < 10 = x < 10 - 4 = x < 6

x = 10 ; y = 0 : P = 4(10) + 2(0) = 40 + 0 = 40
x = 7 ; y = 1 : P = 4(7) + 2(1) = 28 + 2 = 30
x = 6 ; y = 2 : P = 4(6) + 2(2) = 24 + 4 = 28

The maximum value of P is 40. Where x is 10 and y is 0.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Two events A and B are called independent, when

$P(B|A)=P(B),$

where $P(B|A)$ is the probability that B occurs given that A has already occurred.

A = randomly selected person is a student

B = randomly selected person prefer "Vikings"

B|A = randomly selected student prefer "Vikings"

Probabilities:

$P(A)=\dfrac{100}{125}=\dfrac{4}{5}=0.8\\ \\P(B|A)=\dfrac{80}{85}=\dfrac{16}{17}\approx 0.94$

Since

$0.80\neq 0.94$

we can state that events are not independent.

Which of the following is the point and slope of the equation y - 11 = 3(x + 13)?

4vir4ik [10]

The answer is A.

The equation simplifies to y=3x+50.
So, C is already not an option.

Now we just plug in points to see if the point works for the equation.

A-11=3(-13)+50
11=-39+50

11=11

Thus, this point falls on the line of this equation and is a point.

So, the answer is A.

I hope this helps!
