In the science class,
there are 3 girls and 1 boy (grade 7)
and          5 girls and 5 boys (grade 8)
There is a total of 14 pupils being 8 girls and 6 boys
The probability of choosing a boy will be \frac{6}{14}
Which can be simplified into \frac{3}{7} by dividing 2 from the numerator as well as the denominator.

Which is an equation of the line that is perpendicular to 3x+y=-5 and passes through the point (3, -7)?
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

y+7=1/3(x-3) in point slope

y=1/3x-8 in slope intercept form

Step-by-step explanation:

First put 3x+y=5 in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b)

y=-3x+5

Give that the slope is -3 the perpendicular slope would be 1/3

now using the points (3.-7)

y+7=1/3(x-3) in point slope

y=1/3x-8 in slope intercept form

The function f(x) = 300(0.5)x/100 models the amount in pounds of a particular radioactive material stored in a concrete vault, w
allsm [11]

The amount of the radioactive material in the vault after 140 years is 210 pounds

<h3>How to determine the amount</h3>

We have that the function is given as a model;

f(x) = 300(0.5)x/100

Where

  • x = number of years of the vault = 140 years
  • f(x) is the amount  in pounds

Let's substitute the value of 'x' in the model

f(x) = 300(0.5)x/100

f(x) = \frac{300(0.5) * 140}{100}

f(x) =\frac{21000}{100}

f(140) = 210 pounds

This mean that the function of 149 years would give an amount of 210 pounds rounded up to the nearest whole number.

Thus, the amount of the radioactive material in the vault after 140 years is 210 pounds
