The chance of red on the first spin is 1/4 (25%).

The chance of red on the second spin is 1/4 (25%).

The chance of red on both spins is (1/4) x (1/4) = 1/16 <em>(6.25%)</em>

A bus travels one and one half miles to a bus stop 4 times. How many miles in all has the bus traveled?

hoa [83]

First you have your two numbers: 1.5 and 4.
The question explains that they travel 1.5 miles 4 times each, meaning you multiply the two.
1.5×4=6

So, your answer is 6 miles.

Hope this helps!

Choose the Athat seems to be congruent to the given one.

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

a. ∆EGF ≅ ∆EGD

Step-by-step explanation:

Congruent triangles would have the same side lengths and the same measure of angles.

From the figure given:

EG in ∆EGF ≅ EG in ∆EGD

GF in ∆EGF ≅ GD in ∆EGD, also

EF ≅ ED.

The three angles in ∆EFG are also congruent to the three angles in ∆EGD.

Therefore, ∆EGD is congruent to ∆EGF.

∆EGF ≅ ∆EGD

Write an equation of a parabola that passes through (3,-30) and has x-intercepts of -2 and 18. Then find the average rate of cha

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

The equation of the parabola is $y = \frac{2}{5}\cdot x^{2}-\frac{32}{5}\cdot x -\frac{72}{5}$ . The average rate of change of the parabola is -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We must remember that a parabola is represented by a quadratic function, which can be formed by knowing three different points. A quadratic function is standard form is represented by:

$y = a\cdot x^{2}+b\cdot x + c$

Where:

$x$ - Independent variable, dimensionless.

$y$ - Dependent variable, dimensionless.

$a$ , $b$ , $c$ - Coefficients, dimensionless.

If we know that $(3, -30)$ , $(-2, 0)$ and $(18, 0)$ are part of the parabola, the following linear system of equations is formed:

$9\cdot a +3\cdot b + c = -30$

$4\cdot a -2\cdot b +c = 0$

$324\cdot a +18\cdot b + c = 0$

This system can be solved both by algebraic means (substitution, elimination, equalization, determinant) and by numerical methods. The solution of the linear system is:

$a = \frac{2}{5}$ , $b = -\frac{32}{5}$ , $c = -\frac{72}{5}$ .

The equation of the parabola is $y = \frac{2}{5}\cdot x^{2}-\frac{32}{5}\cdot x -\frac{72}{5}$ .

Now, we calculate the average rate of change ( $r$ ), dimensionless, between $x = -2$ and $x = 8$ by using the formula of secant line slope:

$r = \frac{y(8)-y(-2)}{8-(-2)}$

$r = \frac{y(8)-y(-2)}{10}$

$x = -2$

$y = \frac{2}{5}\cdot (-2)^{2}-\frac{32}{5}\cdot (-2)-\frac{72}{5}$

$y(-2) = 0$

$x = 8$

$y = \frac{2}{5}\cdot (8)^{2}-\frac{32}{5}\cdot (8)-\frac{72}{5}$

$y(8) = -40$

$r = \frac{-40-0}{10}$

$r = -4$

The average rate of change of the parabola is -4.
