You have 9 pieces of wood of different lengths that you are attempting to glue together that will have a length of exactly 10 in

ches. The straw lengths are 1 inch, 2 inches, 3 inches, 4 inches, 5 inches, 6 inches, 7 inches, 8 inches, and 9 inches. What is the probability that you randomly choose one piece of wood keep it then randomly choose the second one to give you a total length of 10 inches. (*Hint* Make a list of the combinations that will add up to 10.) Part 1: Express the probability of the 1st chosen piece of wood. Express the probability of the 2nd chosen piece of wood. Part 2: Explain how you arrived at the above probabilities. Part 3: Express your result in lowest terms.

The possible combinations are:
1,9
2,8
3,7
4,6
9,1
8,2
7,3
6,4

Total straws: 9
Probability of first being 1: 1/9
Probability of second being 9: 1/8
Probability of both: 1/9 x 1/8 = 1/72

This will be multiplied by 8 as there are 8 possible combinations:
8 x 1/72
= 8/72
= 1/9

Which graph represents the function f(x)=2^x+3 ?
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

When answering this, you need to look at the equation. It has a Y-intercept of 3. Just by seeing that, you can tell the last graph is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation

Y-intercept is +3 which means it the line crosses the y axis at positive 3.

28 prime factorization
sineoko [7]

Answer:

2 x 2 x 7, or 2^2 x 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us use prime factorization to find the prime numbers that make up 28:

28 = 2 x 14            

2 is a prime number, 14 is not, so we have our first prime, 2.

14 = 2 x 7      

We then further break the number down into two prime numbers, 2 and 7. Since 2 and 7 are prime and we can't break them down any further our answer is 2 x 2 x 7, or 2^2 x 7.

B, x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the vertices of the image, and preimage of this right isosceles triangle, we can find the line of reflection by definitively understanding how reflections work. Given the preimage contains the points A(-1,1), B(1,-1), and C(-3,-1). And that the image contains the points A'(5,1), B'(3,-1), C'(7,-1). We can differentiate the corresponding points and apply them to the rules of a reflection. if figure Z is reflected over x = n,

than Z'(x,y) = Z(-x+2n,y). Logically, you can see that this pattern resembles all three coordinates for the transformation. i.e A'(5,1) = A(--1+2n,1) ; (1+2n,1) = (5,1) ; 1 + 2n = 5, 2n = 4, n = 2

we can prove this by using another point:

B'(3,-1) = (-1+2n,-1) = (-1 + 4, -1) = (3,-1)

Hopefully you understand,

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

130 gallons initally, losing approx. 1.33333 gallons per minute, will be empty in approx 97.5 min

Step-by-step explanation:

1: y-intercept = (0, 130)

2: take two points (0, 130) & (30, 80)

use slope equation (80 - 130)/ (30 - 0) = -40/30 = -4/3

3: line equation is y=-4/3x+130

make y=0

0=-4/3x+130

-130=-4/3x

-130/-4/3=x

97.5=x
