The "successful" region has half the size of the whole triangle, so by similar triangles, the probability that the area of triangle XYD is at most 12 is 1/4.

Answer:

5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

If you draw the triangle out on a grid papar and draw a line across the 2 marker point from XY up of the YZ side, you will see that the line from that marker point across to the hypotenuse is actually 8. Then you find the area of the little triangle with legs 8 and 4 (since 6-2 is 4), and the area is 16. After that, find the total area of the big triangle, which is 12x6/2=36. Since we want to know the area of the quadrilateral at the bottom of the big triangle seperated by the 2 marker point, we subtract 16 from 36, which equals to 20. 20/36=5/9. And that is my final answer. I tested it and it is correct. I hope this helps.

Is k=3 a reduction or enlargement (dilation)
Verizon [17]

Answer:

It is an enlargement because k=3 is larger than 1. Anything that equals less than one (ex. k=0.25) would be a reduction.

If 14 out of 20 like chocolate then how many people dislike chocolate?
Masteriza [31]
You know from the given information, there are 20 people in total. 
When asked 14 people stated that they liked chocolate. This leaves a group of people out of 20 who do not like chocolate. 

20-14=6 

You know from this that 6 people do not like chocolate while 14 of them do 

Hope I helped :)

The curve given by x=sin(t),y=sin(t+sin(t)) has two tangent lines at the point (x,y)=(0,0). List both of them in order of increa
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

y = 0

y =2x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parametric equations:

x (t) = sin (t)

y (t) = sin (t + sin (t))

The slope of the curve at any given point is given by dy / dx we will use chain rule to find dy / dx

(dy / dx) * (dx / dt) = (dy / dt)

(dy / dx) = (dy / dt) / (dx / dt)

Evaluate dx / dt and dy / dt

dx / dt = cos (t)

dy / dt = cos (t + sin (t)) * (1+cos (t))

Hence,

dy / dx = (1+cos(t))*cos(t + sin (t))) / cos (t)

@Given point (x,y) = 0 we evaluate t

0 = sin (t)

t = 0 , pi

Input two values of t and compute dy / dx

@ t = 0

dy / dx = (1 + cos (0))*cos (0 + sin (0))) / cos (0)

dy / dx = (1+1)*(1) / (1) = 2 @ t = 0

@t = pi

dy / dx = ( 1 + cos (pi))* cos (pi + sin (pi)) / cos (pi)

dy / dx = (1-1) * (-1) / (-1) = 0 @ t = pi

The corresponding gradients are 0 and 2 in increasing order and their respective equations are:

y = 2x

y = 0
