Answer:

The answer is (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

By subtracting both number you will be left off with the distance between the numbers.

Edit: answer (C) is wrong because it refers to the absolute values of p and q, the absolute value of a number is equal to how many numbers that number is away from zero.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtracting one number from the other will igve you the difference between them. However as P and Q are not specific numbers we do not know which is larger. Therefore we must use absolute value to make sure we do not end up with a negative number by subtracting the larger number from the smaller one.

2. What percent of rolling a 2 3 probability of getting HH

faust18 [17]

Answer:

2. The correct answer option is 25%.

3. The experimental probability is 3% greater than the theoretical probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

2. We are given that a number cube is rolled 20 times out of which 5 times it lands on the number 2.

We are to find the experimental probability of getting the number 2.

P (2) = $\frac{5}{20} \times 100 =\frac{1}{4} \times 100$ = 25%

3. The theoretical Outcomes are: HH HT TH TT

So theoretical probability of getting HH = $\frac{1}{4} \times 100$ = 25%

Total number of outcomes = $28+22+34+16$ = 100

So experimental probability of getting HH = $\frac{28}{100} \times 100$ = 28%

Therefore, the experimental probability is 3% greater than the theoretical probability.

What is the x-coordinate of the vertex of the parabola whose equation is y = 3x2 + 9x?

inn [45]

Hello :
y = 3x²+9x
= 3(x² + 3x )
= 3 ( x² +2(3/2)x +(3/2)²) -(3/2)²)
= 3((x+3/2)² -9/4)
y = 3 (x+3/2)² -27/4
the x-coordinate of the vertex is : - 3/2
