The red arrows mean the lines are parallel. Since all angles are equal, the larger triangle is similar to the smaller one. Then corresponding sides have the same ratio
(4x -2)/9 = (3x+2)/12
x(4/9 -3/12) = (2/12) +(2/9)
x = (7/18)/(7/36) = 2 . . . . . . . . . corresponding to the 3rd selection
You question is of two parts.
For the first part:
<span>A group of men and women were asked what their favorite pet was, and the results of the survey were tabulated.
![\begin{center} \begin{tabular} {|c|c|c|c|c|} & Cats & Dogs & Other & Total \\ [1ex] Male & 42 & 58 & 6 & 106 \\ Female & 52 & 48 & 2 & 102 \\ [1ex] Total & 94 & 106 & 8 & 208 \end{tabular} \end{center}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bcenter%7D%0A%5Cbegin%7Btabular%7D%0A%7B%7Cc%7Cc%7Cc%7Cc%7Cc%7C%7D%0A%20%26%20Cats%20%26%20Dogs%20%26%20Other%20%26%20Total%20%5C%5C%20%5B1ex%5D%0AMale%20%26%2042%20%26%2058%20%26%206%20%26%20106%20%5C%5C%0AFemale%20%26%2052%20%26%2048%20%26%202%20%26%20102%20%5C%5C%20%5B1ex%5D%0ATotal%20%26%2094%20%26%20106%20%26%208%20%26%20208%0A%5Cend%7Btabular%7D%0A%5Cend%7Bcenter%7D)
</span>Let event A be defined as randomly
choosing someone who picked cats or dogs as their favorite pet. Let
event B be defined as a randomly
chosen person being male.
Find P(B| NOT A).
P(A) = P(choosing cat) + P(choosing dog) =

P(NOT A) =

P(B and NOT A) = P(males that did not choose cat or dog) =

P(B | NOT A) =

For the second part of the question.
<span>Petey
is considering investing $19 in a certain company. Financial advisors
forecast that there is a 30% chance that the stock will increase in
value by 10%, and a 70% chance he will lose his initial investment.
Determine if Petey should make the investment, and find the expected
value of the investment.
If his investment increases by 10%, the value of the investment will be 1.1 x $19 = $20.90 with a probability of 30% or 0.3
The expected value of the investment is given by

Therefore, Petey should not make the investment as there is an expectation of a loss from the investment.

Answer:
,
Step-by-step explanation:
The function of the graph can be written in the vertex form as
, where V(h,k)=V(2,4) is the vertex of the quadratic function.
We substitute the value to obtain;
,
The point (5,1) lies on the graph so we use it to determine the value of a.
,
,
,

The required equation is
,
Answer:
(x-9)^2 +(y-12)^2 = 225
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the length of the radius
If is the distance from the center to the point
d = sqrt( (x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2 )
= sqrt( (0-9)^2 + (0-12)^2)
= sqrt ( 81+144)
= sqrt(225)
= 15
The equation for a circle is
( x-h) ^2+ (y-k)^2 = r^2
(x-9)^2 +(y-12)^2 = 15^2
(x-9)^2 +(y-12)^2 = 225
Y=mx + b
m=slope=1/4
(8,3) => 3 = 1/4 * 8 + b => b=1
y=1/4 x + 1
