8 0

Given that Z is the centroid of a triangle RST. This means that Z is the point of intersection of the three medians of the triangle.

So,W is the midpoint of RSV is the midpoint of RTWe are given that:RV = 4x + 3 and VT = 2x + 9

Since V is the midpoint, then:RV = VT4x + 3 = 2x + 94x - 2x = 9 - 32x = 6x = 3

Now put the value of x in WS = 5x-1WS = 5x-1WS = 5(3) - 1 WS = 15 - 1 = 14WS = 14

Since W is the midpoint of RS, therefore RW = WSand WS = 14Therefore:
RW = 14

Parallelogram RSTU is rotated 180° clockwise

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Two pairs of parallel sides

Step-by-step explanation:

The given transformation performed on parallelogram RSTU = 180° clockwise rotation

Given that a rotation is a form of rigid transformation, the shape and size of the preimage RSTU will be equal to the the shape and size of the image R'S'T'U'

Therefore, RSTU ≅ R'S'T'U' and R'S'T'U' is also a parallelogram with two pairs of parallel sides.

HELP with these questions

zlopas [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

transform the parent graph of f(x) = ln x into f(x) = - ln (x - 4) by shifting the parent graph 4 units to the right and reflecting over the x-axis

(???, 0): 0 = - ln (x - 4)

$\frac{0}{-1} = \frac{-ln (x - 4)}{-1}$

0 = ln (x - 4)

$e^{0} = e^{ln (x - 4)}$

1 = x - 4

+4 +4

5 = x

(5, 0)

(???, 1): 1 = - ln (x - 4)

$\frac{0}{-1} = \frac{-ln (x - 4)}{-1}$

1 = ln (x - 4)

$e^{1} = e^{ln (x - 4)}$

e = x - 4

e + 4 = x

Vertical asymptotes: there are no vertical asymptotes for the parent function and the transformation did not alter that

No vertical asymptotes

transform the parent graph of f(x) = 3ˣ into f(x) = - 3ˣ⁺⁵ by shifting the parent graph 5 units to the left and reflecting over the x-axis

Domain: there is no restriction on x so domain is all real number

(-∞, ∞)

Range: there is a horizontal asymptote for the parent graph of y = 0 with range of y > 0. the transformation is a reflection over the x-axis so the horizontal asymptote is the same (y = 0) but the range changed to y < 0.

(-∞, 0)

Y-intercept is when x = 0:

f(x) = - 3ˣ⁺⁵

= - 3⁰⁺⁵

= - 3⁵

= -243

Horizontal Asymptote: y = 0 (explanation above)

According to national data, 5.1% of burglaries are cleared with arrests. A new detective is assigned to six different burglaries

blagie [28]

Answer:

26.95% probability that at least one of them is cleared with an arrest

Step-by-step explanation:

For each burglary, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is cleared, or it is not. The probability of a burglary being cleared is independent of other burglaries. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

5.1% of burglaries are cleared with arrests.

This means that $p = 0.051$

A new detective is assigned to six different burglaries.

This means that $n = 6$

What is the probability that at least one of them is cleared with an arrest?

Either none are cleared, or at least one is. The sum of the probabilities of these events is 100% = 1. So

$P(X = 0) + P(X \geq 1) = 1$

We want $P(X \geq 1)$

Then

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{6,0}.(0.051)^{0}.(0.949)^{6} = 0.7305$

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.7305 = 0.2695$

26.95% probability that at least one of them is cleared with an arrest

Which equation is perpendicular to 3x - y = 9 and goes through the point (6,6)

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

y = - $\frac{1}{3}$ x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange 3x - y = 9 into this form by subtracting 3x from both sides

- y = - 3x + 9 ( divide all terms by - 1 )

y = 3x - 9 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 3

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

$m_{perpendicular}$ = - $\frac{1}{m}$ = - $\frac{1}{3}$ , thus

y = - $\frac{1}{3}$ x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (6, 6) into the partial equation

6 = - 2 + c ⇒ c = 6 + 2 = 8

y = - $\frac{1}{3}$ x + 8 ← equation of perpendicular line

Answer:

{5, 10, 15, 20}

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiples of 5 are of the form 5n, where n is an integer. The ones of interest will satisfy ...

0 < 5n < 23

0 < n < 4.6

That is, the multiples of 5 we want are for values of n that are 1 through 4. The set is ...

5 × {1, 2, 3, 4} = {5, 10, 15, 20}
