research suggests that the probability of a certain fuse malfunctioning increases exponentially as the concentration of an impur

ity in the fuse increases. the probability is modeled by the function y=3(257,959)x where x is the impurity concentration and y, given as a percent, is the probability of the fuse malfunctioning. find the probability of the fuse malfunctioning for an impurity concentration of 0.17. round to the nearest percent.

Given that the probability <span>is modeled by the function
y=3(257,959)^x[tex]  where x is the impurity &#10;concentration and y, given as a percent, is the probability of the fuse &#10;malfunctioning.\\Then, the probability of the fuse malfunctioning for an impurity concentration of 0.17 is given by [tex]y=3(257,959)^{0.17}=3(8.316941)=24.95

Therefore, the <span>probability of the fuse malfunctioning for an impurity concentration of 0.17 is 25% to the nearest percent.</span>

A certain shade of pink is created by adding 3 cups of red paint to 7 cups of white paint.
vazorg [7]

Answer:

7/3 is constant of proportionality and, 3/7 of a cup of red paint should be added to 1 cup of white paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

Constant of proportionality is the constant value of the ratio of two proportional quantities x and y; usually written y = kx, where k is the factor of proportionality.

To make color pink,

for every 3 cups of red , we need 7 cups of white.

Let 'r' be the cups of red required

let 'w' be the cups of white required

so , as per the question

for 3 r we need = 7 w

r = 7/3 w

so, 7/3 is constant of proportionality and, 3/7 of a cup of red paint should be added to 1 cup of white paint.

You already have the answer! ;)

Area of triangles:  1/2 x b x h
area of square:  l x w

Triangle
1/2 x 7 x 4= 14, but there are 3 of them so 42
Square:  7 x7 = 49

49 + 42 = 91

The vertex of this parabola is at (-4, -1). When the y-value is 0, the x-value is 2. What is the coefficient of the squared term
Delicious77 [7]
Equation for parabola is
y = a ( x - h ) ^2 + k    where (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola. 

Given:  vertex (-4, -1)  h = -4; k = -1

y = a (x - (-4))^2 + (-1)
y = a ( x + 4)^2 - 1  plug in the values given for x and y.  y-value is 0 and x-value is 2

0 = a (2 + 4)^2 -1
0 = a (6)^2 -1   square 6
0 = a 36 - 1    add 1 to both sides to isolate the a
1 = 36 a         divide both sides by 36 to isolate the a
1/36 = a         the coefficient. 

i think you might have typed a number incorrectly if those are your answer choices.  Maybe the step by step process can still help you with your correct numbers.  :-)

In a coin collection, the number of dimes is 10 less than three times the number of quarters. If the collection has 56 dimes, Ho
forsale [732]
Quarters = x
Dimes = y

y = 3x - 10; Since the collection has 56 dimes:

56 = 3x - 10

Solve for x: 3x = 66 => x = 22

The number of quarters in the collection is 22.
