Answer:

the number of chips in the bag is 40

Step-by-step explanation:

On a game show, a contestant randomly chooses a chip from a bag that contains numbers and strikes. The theoretical probability of choosing a strike is 1/5.

Let x be the number of chips in the bag

the bag contains 8 strikes

the probability of choosing a strike from 8 strikes is 8/x

given probability of choosing a strike is 1/5

\frac{1}{5} =\frac{8}{x}

cross multiply it

x= 40

So, the number of chips in the bag is 40

Find a so that the point (-1, 2) is on the graph of f(x)=ax^2+5.
Gnesinka [82]
We are asked to determine the value of a such that the function f(x) = ax^2 + 5 is fit for the point given (-1,2). In this case, we substitute 2 to y and -1 to x. The result is then 2 = a*(-1)^2 + 5 ; 2 = a + 5; a is then equal to -3
