ABCD is a trapezoid with median EF. a. AB = 15, DC = 11, then EF = ? b. EF = 14, DC = 10, then AB = ? c. EF = 18, AB = (5n - 9),

and DC = (2n + 3). Find n, AB, and DC. d. EF = (2y + 4), AB = (5y + 2), and DC = (-3y + 8). Find y, EF, AB, and DC.

The median of the trapezoid is the average of the bases. If we draw the trapezoid that is being described in this item, we will deduce that AB and DC are the bases and EF is given to be the median.

 For this item,
                        EF = (AB + CD) / 2

Part A:
                      EF = (15 + 11) / 2 = 13

Part B:
                      AB = 2EF - CD
                      AB = (2)(14) - 10 = 18

Part C:
                       18 = ((5n - 9) + (2n + 3))/2
                        18 = (7n - 6) / 2
                                 n = 6

Part D:
                  2y + 4 = ((5y + 2) + (-3y + 8))/2

                     y = 1

EF = 2(1) + 4 = 6
AB = (5(1) + 2 = 7
AB = -3(1) + 8 = 5

A box has 11 marbles, 3 of which are white and 8 of which are red. A sample of 4 marbles are selected randomly from the box with
aliina [53]

14/99

Select 1 marble; the chance that it is white is 4/12. Select a 2nd marble; the chance that it is white is 3/11. Select a 3rd; the chance it is white is 2/10. Select a 4th; the chance it is red is 8/9. Select a 5th; the chance it is red is 7/8. The chance of getting this specific set of 5 marbles in this order is (4/12)×(3/11)×(2/10)×(8/9)×(7/8)=(2×7)/(11×10×9).

This specific set could occur in the permutation of 5 things taken 5 at a time where 3 are identical (white), and the other 2 are also identical (red). The formula for this is 5!/(3!2!)=10.

Combining the chance of getting white, white, white, red, red with the number of ways 3 white and 2 red could have been distributed in the draw of 5 marbles gives the answer:

{(2×7)/(11×10×9)}×10=14/99

A similar process will show that the chance of getting 5 red marbles is 7/99; 4 white and 1 red is 1/99; 2 white and 3 red is 42/99; and 1 white and 4 red is 35/99.

Let h(x) = x*2 + kw - 8. If h(-1) = -5, what is the value of h(4)?<br> Help
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

h(4) = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Hoping its ' kx '

h(x) = x^2 + kx -8 \\\\h(-1) = (-1)^2 + k(-1) - 8\\\\-5 = 1 - k -8\\\\-5 = -k -7\\\\-5 + 7 = -k\\\\2 = -k\\-2 = k

Now we have k = -2. We will find h(4).

h(4) = (4)^2 + (-2)(4) - 8 = 16 -8 - 8 = 0

Distribute the 2 to get the pink box

10x + 2y = 18
Then if we are subtracting the bottom equation from the pink box
10x + 2y = 18
-(10x -7y = -18)
9y = 36
y = 4
