Jason inherited a piece of land from his great-uncle. Owners in the area claim that there is a 45% chance that the land has oil.

Jason decides to test the land for oil. He buys a kit that claims to have an 80% accuracy rate of indicating oil in the soil. What is the probability that the land has oil and the test predicts it? Show solution.

P ( A ) = 0.45  - probability that the land has oil,
P ( B ) = 0.8   - probability that the test predicts it
P ( A ∩ B ) = P ( A ) · P ( B ) = 0.45 · 0.8  = 0.36
Answer: The probability that the land has oil and the test predicts it is 36 %.

HELP ME Using the following equation, complete the square and find the center and radius of the circle:
IrinaK [193]

Answer: (-2,3), r=5\ \text{units}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

the equation is x^2+y^2+4x-6y-12=0

completing the square

\Rightarrow (x^2+2\times 2\times x+4-4)+(y^2-2\times3\times y+9-9)-12=0\\\Rightarrow (x^2+2\times 2\times x+4)+(y^2-2\times3\times y+9)-12-4-9=0\\\Rightarrow (x+2)^2+(y-3)^2=25\\\Rightarrow (x+2)^2+(y-3)^2=5^2\\\Rightarrow (x-(-2))^2+(y-3)^2=5^2

Thus, the center of the circle is (-2,3) and radius is r=5\ \text{units}

Please help with problem !!!
True [87]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2x^2 - 12x +19                Put brackets around the  1st 2 terms. Take 2

y = 2(x^2 - 6x ) + 19             Take 1/2 of the 6 square it and add inside the brackets

y = 2(x^2 - 6 + (6/2)^2) +19 Subtract 2 *9 from the 19. Express 1st 3 terms as ( )^2

y = 2(x- 3)^2 + 19 - 18

y = 2(x - 3)^2 + 1

Answers

y intercept when x = 0 is y = 19

axis of symmetry x = 3

vertex: (3,1)

Graph

graph: red

axis of symmetry: blue

y intercept, vertex: green
