To win the carnival game Ring Ding, you must toss a wooden ring onto a grid of rectangles so that it lands without touching any

of the grid lines. The ring has a 3-inch diameter, the rectangles are twice as long as they are wide, and the game has been designed so that you have a 28% chance of winning. What are the dimensions of each rectangle

Answer:

5in x 10in

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:

1.  You have to assume that the ring will land on the board and as a result, just focus on one rectangle of the board since they are all the same size.  

 

2.  For the ring to land entirely inside the rectangle, the center of the ring needs to be 1.5 inches inside the border (radius is 1.5 inches), so the "winning rectangle" will have dimensions:

                               L = (x - 2(1.5)) = x - 3

                              w = (2x - 2(1.5)) = 2x-3.

 

3.  Now, we will set up and solve our geometric probability equation.  The winning rectangle's area of (x-3)*(2x-3) divided by the total rectangle's area of x*(2x) = 28%

 

                                (2x-3)*(x-3)/(2x^2) = .28

                                2x^2 - 9x + 9 = .56x^2

                                1.44x^2 - 9x + 9 = 0

 

4 .  Now you can plug that in the quadratic formula and get the solutions x = 1.25 or 5.  However, it cannot by 1.25 because that is too small of a dimension for the the circle with diameter of 3 to fit in, the answers has to be 5.

 

5. As a result, the dimensions of the rectangles are 5in x 10in.

Suppose WX = 4x - 8 and WZ = 2x + 2. Solve for x
podryga [215]

Answer: 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the shape is a kite we can tell that WX and WZ are congruent.

So 4x-8 = 2x+2

Add 8 to both sides

4x = 2x+10

Subtract 2x

2x = 10

Divide by 2

x = 5

Which expressions are polynomials?
igor_vitrenko [27]

Option A: z + 1

Option B: 6 + w

Option D: 2 x^{4}-y

Solution:

Let us first define the polynomial.

A polynomial can have constants, variables, exponents and fractional coefficients.

A polynomial cannot have negative exponents, fractional exponents and never divided by a variable.

<u>To find which expressions are polynomial:</u>

Option A: z + 1

By the definition, z + 1 is a polynomial.

It is polynomial.

Option B: 6 + w

By the definition, 6 + w is a polynomial.

It is polynomial.

Option C: y^{2}-\sqrt[3]{y}+4

y^{2}-\sqrt[3]{y}+4=y^{2}-{y}^{1/3}+4

Here, y have fractional exponent.

So, it is not a polynomial.

Option D: 2 x^{4}-y

By the definition, 2 x^{4}-y is a polynomial.

It is polynomial.

Hence z + 1, 6 +w and 2 x^{4}-y are polynomials.

Which r–value represents the strongest negative correlation?<br><br> –0.7<br> –0.22<br> 0.38<br> 0.9
inn [45]

Answer:

Option A is correct.

The value of r = -0.7 represents the strongest negative correlation.

Step-by-step explanation:

A correlation is a  value that describes a relationship between two things  or variables.

Strongest Negative Correlation says that closer a negative correlation to -1, the stronger the relationship between the two variables.

From the options,  we have only two negative values i.e, r= -0.7 and r= -0.22.

We have to find the strongest negative correlation r-value.

By the definition, you can see that -0.7 is very closer to -1 ,

therefore, the  value of r = -0.7 represents the strongest negative correlation.
