Answer:

0.3158

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know the column of numbers on the board contains all multiples of 3, that is, 3, 6 9,. , 36., from 3 to 36 we have: 36/3 =12 values.

The probability of winning is the number of divided by the total possible outcomes:

=> P (multiple of 3) = \frac{#favorable outcomes }{# possible outcomes} = \frac{12}{38}  ≈0.3158

Find the exponential function that passes through the points (2,80) and (5,5120)​
juin [17]

Answer:

  y = 5·4^x

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have two points, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), whose relationship can be described by the exponential function ...

  y = a·b^x

you can find the values of 'a' and 'b' as follows.

Substitute the given points:

  y1 = a·b^(x1)

  y2 = a·b^(x1)

Divide the second equation by the first:

  y2/y1 = ((ab^(x2))/(ab^(x1)) = b^(x2 -x1)

Take the inverse power (root):

  (y2/y1)^(1/(x2 -x1) = b

Use this value of 'b' to find 'a'. Here, we have solved the first equation for 'a'.

  a = y1/(b^(x1))

In summary:

  • b = (y2/y1)^(1/(x2 -x1))
  • a = y1·b^(-x1)

__

For the problem at hand, (x1, y1) = (2, 80) and (x2, y2) = (5, 5120).

  b = (5120/80)^(1/(5-2)) = ∛64 = 4

  a = 80·4^(-2) = 80/16 = 5

The exponential function is ...

  y = 5·4^x

Find the lengths and slopes of the diagonals to name the parallelogram. Choose the most specific name. E (-2, -4), F(0, -1), G(-
Kay [80]

Answer:

1) d) Square

2) Proofs that PWRS is a rhombus are

Length of QS ≠ PR and

Slope of segment QR and PS is -1/2 and Slope of segment RS and QP is -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given points (x, y) of the parallelogram are;

E(-2, -4), F(0, -1), G(-3, 1), H(-5, -2)

The slope, m, of the segments are found as follows;

Slope, \, m =\dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

By computation, the slope of segment EF = 1.5

The slope of segment FG = -0.67

The slope of segment GH = 1.5

The slope of segment HE = -0.67

Therefore, EF is parallel to GH and FG is parallel to HE

The length of the sides are;

\sqrt{\left (y_{2}-y_{1}  \right )^{2}+\left (x_{2}-x_{1}  \right )^{2}}

By computation, the length of segment EF = 3.61

The length of segment FG = 3.61

The length of segment GH = 3.61

The length of segment HE = 3.61

The diagonals are;

EG and FH

The length of segment EG = 5.099

The length of segment FH = 5.099

Therefore, the diagonals are equal and the parallelogram is a square

2) The given dimensions are;

P(-1, 3), Q(-2, 5), R(0, 4), S(1, 2)

A rhombus has all sides equal

The length of segment PQ = 2.24

The length of segment QR = 2.24

The length of segment RS = 2.24

The length of segment PS = 2.24

The diagonals are;

QS and PR

The length of segment QS = 4.24

The length of segment PR = 1.41

The slope of segment QR = -0.5

The slope of segment PS = -0.5

The slope of segment RS = -2

The slope of segment QP = -2

Therefore, QS≠QR the parallelogram is a rhombus

The correct option ;

Length of QS ≠ PR and

Slope of segment QR and PS is -1/2 and Slope of segment RS and QP is -2.

Where there are acute angles in parallelogram PQRS, then the correct option is d) Length of QR and PS is 2.2 and Length of RS and QP is 2.2

Using your new formula from the previous question ,what is the side length of an equlalertal trangle that has a perimeter of 24.
valina [46]
The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is just 3s as all the sides are, well, equal :) so

P=3s and we are told that P=24.6 so

3s=24.6

s=8.2 cm
