Answer: D) 40%

==========================================================

Work Shown:

Area of purple rectangle (ignore circular cutout for now) = base*height = 6*12 = 72

I'm assuming the center of the circle is located on the right edge of the purple rectangle. If so, then we can subtract off half the circle's area from the purple rectangle area

Semicircle Area = (pi*r^2)/2 = (pi*3^2)/2 = 14.1371669

Area of purple region = (Rectangle Area) - (Semicircle Area)

Area of purple region = 72-14.1371669

Area of purple region = 57.8628331

-------

Now divide this area by 144 as this is the total area of the entire largest square (12 by 12 square) to get 57.8628331/144 = 0.401825 which is approximate. This rounds to 0.40 and converts to 40% which explains how I got choice D as the answer

Answer:

That probability is approx. 40%.  See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

That probability is the area of the purple section divided by the total area of the square before coloring purple.

This area of the square is (12 cm)^2, or 144 cm^2.  

Half the area of the circle is pi*(3 cm)^2, or 9*pi cm^2.

Thus, the purple area is (144 cm^2) / 2  - (9/2)*pi cm^2, or (72 - 9*pi/2) cm^2.  This is approx. 57.86.

The ratio of this purple area to the full area of the square is:

57.86 cm^2

--------------------------------- = 0.4 (approximately)

144 cm^2

<h2>Answer:</h2>

y = \frac{-5}{4}x + 3

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

As shown in the graph, the line is a straight line. Therefore, the general equation of a straight line can be employed to derive the equation of the line.

The general equation of a straight line is given by:

y = mx + c <em>or            </em>-------------(i)

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)        -----------------(ii)

Where;

y₁ is the value of a point on the y-axis

x₁ is the value of the same point on the x-axis

m is the slope of the line

c is the y-intercept of the line.

Equation (i) is the slope-intercept form of a line

Steps:

(i) Pick any two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) on the line.

In this case, let;

(x₁, y₁) = (0, 3)

(x₂, y₂) = (4, -2)

(ii) With the chosen points, calculate the slope <em>m</em> given by;

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m = \frac{-2-3}{4-0}

m = \frac{-5}{4}

(iii) Substitute the first point (x₁, y₁) = (0, 3) and m = \frac{-5}{4} into equation (ii) as follows;

y - 3 = \frac{-5}{4}(x - 0)

(iv) Solve for y from (iii)

y - 3 = \frac{-5}{4}x

y = \frac{-5}{4}x + 3 [This is the slope intercept form of the line]

Where the slope is \frac{-5}{4} and the intercept is 3

Answer:

None of those answers are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

There are no real solutions

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

2+2x−3

2x+3

=

3x+4

x+2

Step 1: Cross-multiply.

2+2x−3

2x+3

=

3x+4

x+2

(2+2x−3)*(x+2)=(3x+4)*(2x+3)

2x2+3x−2=6x2+17x+12

Step 2: Subtract 6x^2+17x+12 from both sides.

2x2+3x−2−(6x2+17x+12)=6x2+17x+12−(6x2+17x+12)

−4x2−14x−14=0

For this equation: a=-4, b=-14, c=-14

−4x2+−14x+−14=0

Step 3: Use quadratic formula with a=-4, b=-14, c=-14.

x=

−b±√b2−4ac

2a

x=

−(−14)±√(−14)2−4(−4)(−14)

2(−4)

x=

14±√−28

−8

Answer:

No real solutions.
