Answer:

14/33

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of beads is 8+4 = 12.  8 of these are black beads, so that is what we want, so 8/12 or 2/3.  For the second one, one black bead is already taken so 8-1 = 7 are left and for the total 12 - 1 = 11 are left, so 7/11.  Multiply this by 2/3 and we get 14/33.

Which equations represent the line that is perpendicular to the line 5x − 2y = −6 and passes through the point (5, −4)? Select t
nignag [31]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of a line in the slope-intersection form is given by:

y = mx + b

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis

On the other hand we have that if two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is -1. So:

m_ {1} * m_ {2} = - 1

The given line is:

5x-2y = -6\\-2y = -6-5x\\2y = 5x + 6\\y = \frac {5} {2} x + \frac {6} {2}\\y = \frac {5} {2} x + 3

So we have:

m_ {1} = \frac {5} {2}

We find m_ {2}:m_ {2} = \frac {-1} {\frac {5} {2}}\\m = - \frac {2} {5}

So, a line perpendicular to the one given is of the form:

y = - \frac {2} {5} x + b

We substitute the given point to find "b":

-4 = - \frac {2} {5} (5) + b\\-4 = -2 + b\\-4 + 2 = b\\b = -2

Finally we have:

y = - \frac {2} {5} x-2

In point-slope form we have:

y - (- 4) = - \frac {2} {5} (x-5)\\y + 4 = - \frac {2} {5} (x-5)

ANswer:

y = - \frac {2} {5} x-2\\y + 4 = - \frac {2} {5} (x-5)

Please help on my hw, I'm not feeling good, and can't concentrate
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Solution given:

f(x)=x²

g(x)=x+5

h(x)=4x-6

now

23:

(fog)(x)=f(g(x))=f(x+5)=(x+5)²=x²+10x+25

24:

(gof)(x)=g(f(x))=g(x²)=x²+5

25:

(foh)(x)=f(h(x))=f(4x-6)=(4x-6)²=16x²-48x+36

26:

(hof)(x)=h(f(x))=h(x²)=4x²-6

27;

(goh)(x)=g(h(x))=g(4x-6)=4x-6+5=4x-1

28:

(hog)(x)=h(g(x))=h(x+5)=4(x+5)-6=4x+20-6=4x-14

A radio station requires DJs to play 3 commercials for every 18 songs they play. What is the unit rate of songs to commercials?
bulgar [2K]
6 songs

The way to find this answer is to divide 18 by 3, which is six, which means that after every six songs a commercial is played. 

Hope this was helpful and that I explained it correctly.

Suppose that we wish to assess whether more than 60 percent of all U.S. households in a particular income class bought life insu
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

A. 0.0049

B. Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample proportion = 0.64

N = 1000

Population proportion = 0.60

We solve for standard deviation

= √p(1-p)/n

= √0.60(1-0.60)/1000

= √0.60x0.40/1000

= √0.00024

= 0.0155

A.

The probability of sample >=0.64

Z>=0.64-0.60/0.0155

Z >= 0.04/0.0155

So z >= 2.5806

Using excel this equal to 0.0049

0.0049 is probability of sample proportion being 0.64 at least.

B.

This answer in a shows that than 60% of households in the united states income class purchased life insurance last year.
