0.11 acres can be planted per pound of seed

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that it takes 63 pounds of seed to completely plant a 7 acre field

To find: acres can be planted per pound of seed

Let "x" be the acres which can be planted per pound of seed

Therefore, from given question,

63 pounds of seed = 7 acre field

1 pound of seed = "x" acre field

This forms a proportion and we can solve the sum by cross multiplying

Multiply the numerator of the left-hand fraction by the denominator of the right-hand fraction

Multiply the numerator of the right-hand fraction by the denominator of the left-hand fraction

Set the two products equal to each other

Solve for the variable

63 \times x = 7 \times 1\\\\63x = 7\\\\x = \frac{7}{63} = 0.11

Thus 0.11 acres can be planted per pound of seed

At an antique boat show, 90% of the boats are made of a natural, polished wood. 75% of the boats have some chrome accents on the
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

0.933 ; not independent

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

A - made from natural polished wood

B - made from chrome accent

P(A) = 0.9

P(B) = 0.75

P(AnB) = 0.7

1.) probability of natural wood Giveb that it has chrome accent

P(A|B) = P(AnB) / P(B)

P(A|B) = 0.7 / 0.75

P(A|B) = 0.933

2.)

For an independent event :

P(AnB) = p(A) * p(B)

P(AnB) = 0.9 * 0.75 = 0.675

However, p(AnB) Given here is 0.7, thus the event aren't independent

Graph the line and the parabola and find the points of intersection: y= 3-x ; y=x(squared)+x-12
melomori [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to graph a line y = 3 - x which has the slope = -1 and y intercept 3.

We will select two points where line intersects at x = 0 and y = 0

The given line will intersect x-axis at (3, 0) and at y- axis (0, 3).

Joining these two points we can draw a straight line showing y = -x + 3

Now we will draw the parabola given by equation y = x² + x - 12

We will convert this equation in vertex form first to get the vertex and line of symmetry.

Standard equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = (x - h)² + k

Where (h, k) is the vertex and x = h is the line of symmetry.

y = x² + x - 12

y = x² + 2(0.5)x + (0.5)²- (0.5)²-12

y = (x + 0.5)² - 12.25

Therefore, vertex will be (-0.5, -12.25) and line of symmetry will be x = 0.5

For x intercept,

0 = (x + 0.5)² - 12.25

x + 0.5 = ±√12.25

x = -0.5 ± 3.5

x = -4, 3

For y- intercept,

y = (0+0.5)² - 12.25

 = 0.25 - 12.25

y = -12

So the parabola has vertex (-0.5, - 12.25), line of symmetry x = 0.5, x intercept (4, 0), (and y-intercept (0, -12).

Now we have to find the points of intersection of the given line and parabola.

For this we will replace the values of y

3 - x = x² + x - 12

x² + 2x - 15 = 0

x² + 5x - 3x - 15 = 0

x(x + 5) - 3(x + 5) = 0

(x - 3)(x + 5) = 0

x = 3, -5

For x = 3

y = 3- 3 = 0

For x = -5

y = 3 + 5 = 8

Therefore, points of intersection will be (3, 0) and (-5, 8)
