A smalltown family has two children, of whom at least one is a boy. what is the chance that both children are boys

1 answer:

3 0

If we know that one of the children MUST be a boy, than I believe it is a fifty percent chance that the other child would be a boy. You have two things that can happen— one being the child being a boy and the other is it being a girl. Therefore, the answer should be 50%.

Factor out 1/4 out of 1/4x+11/4

cluponka [151]

$\frac{1}{4} x+\frac{11}{4}$

we can rewrite it as

$\frac{1}{4}* x+\frac{1}{4}*11$

we can see that 1/4 is in multiple in both terms

so, we can factor it out

so, we get

$\frac{1}{4}( x+11)$ ..............Answer

How does the graph of the function g(x) = 2x – 4 differ from the graph of f(x) = 2x

Lena [83]

Answer:

the y-intercepts differ

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-coefficient is the same for each function, so parallel lines are described. The function g(x) has a y-intercept of -4; f(x) has a y-intercept of 0.

The graphs differ in their intercepts.

<em>Additional comment</em>

g(x) can be considered to be a translation downward of f(x) by 4 units. The same graph of g(x) can be obtained by translating f(x) to the right by 2 units. That is, both the x-intercepts and y-intercepts differ between the two functions.

a line with a slope of 1 passes through the point (5,10). what is the equation in this slope-intercept form?

patriot [66]

Answer:

y=x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

So first you need to plug everything into the point-slope formula which is

y-y1=m(x-x1)

m being the slope and y1 and x1 being the point (5,10)

So once you plug it in it should look like this: y-10=1(x-5)

Now you solve it

First you need to distribute 1 in 1(x-5) which is (x-5)

Now you have y-10=x-5

Then you add 10 to both sides which is y=x+5

Your answer is y=x+5

After one week, Jacob has earned $80 from babysitting, so his change is an increase of $80. The next week, he spends $85, so he experiences a decrease of $85. Over the two weeks, his overall change is $80-$85=-$5, or a decrease of $5.
