Answer:

BC = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Since line segment AC = 28, that means line segment AB and line segment BC must add up to 28:

x - 10 + x + 2 = 28

2x - 8 = 28

2x = 36

x = 18

Now we plug in <em>x</em> into segment BC's equation to find length of BC:

BC = x + 2

BC = 18 + 2

BC = 20

Answer:

BC = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

AC = AB + BC

28 = x-10 + x+2

Combine like terms

28 = 2x -8

Add 8 to each side

28+8 = 2x-8+8

36 = 2x

Divide by 2

36/2 = 2x/2

18 =x

We want to find BC

BC = x+2

     =18+2

     =20

5/6, 1/4, and 2/3 yard. Needs 1 yd of cable
mixer [17]
1. So first of all we have to divide the 3 fractions into decimals to get a decimal to compare. So 5/6 is the same as 5 divided by 6 which is .83 bar and so on...

5/6= .83 bar
1/4= .25
2/3= .66 bar

So 5/6 and 2/3 are closer to one.




2. The two shortest pieces are 2/3 and 1/4 so you se 1/4 + 2/3. Let’s get a common denominator for these fractions. The common denominator is 12. So multiply 1/4 • 3 to get 3/12 and multiply 2/3 by • 4 to get 8/12. Add them together and you get 11/12. So he would need 1/12 more cable or 0.083 bar.


3. Now we have to find a common denominator for all of them. The common denominator is 12 again. Multiply 5/6•2 and then you get 10/12, then add 10/12 +2/12(from 1/4) and then you get leftover with 9/12 or 3/4 more wire.

The minimum point of the graph y = 2x^2 + 2x +1 is located at:
slega [8]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

By completing the square, y = 2x^2 + 2x +1 will be y=2(x+1/2)^2+(1/2) the minimum point is the vertex of the parabola which is (-1/2, 1/2)

Given the following: P(A) =0.3 P(B) = 0.2 P(A OR B) = 0.5 P(A AND B) = 0 Which of the following is true?a. A and B are disjoint.
erastova [34]

Answer:

a. A and B are disjoint

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that P(A and B)=0, It means that event A and event B have nothing in common and it means that event A and event B are disjoints events.

The event A and event B are independent if

P( A and B)= P(A)*P(B)

P(A)*P(B)=0.3*0.2=0.06

So, P(A and B)≠P(A)*P(B)

Hence events A and B are not independent.

Option a is A and B are disjoints which is correct

Option b is A and B are neither disjoints nor independent which is partially false as A and B are disjoints event.

Option c states that A and B are independent which is clearly false.

Option d states that A and B are disjoints and independent which is partially false as A and B are not independent.

Hence the correct option is option A.
