yo sup??

The number can't be a probability of an event cause probability of an even lied between 0 and 1 whereas the number given to use is -0.25.

Since probability can't be negative therefore it isn't a probability of an event.

Hope this helps.

Answer:

0.314 gallon is required to cover a circular region with a radius of 40 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a gallon of paint will cover about 400 square feet in a single coat

To Find:

Number of gallons required to cover a circular region with a radius of 40 feet = ?

Solution:

Step 1: Finding Area of the circular region

The area of the circular region, A = $\pi r^2$

where r is the radius

Now substituting r = 40 , we get

A = $\pi \times 40$

$A = 125.6 ft^2$

Step 2: Finding the number of gallons of paint required

To cover 400 sq feet = 1 gallon

so to cover 1 square feet = $\frac{1}{400}$ gallon

Now to cover 125.6 ft we need

$125.6 \times \frac{1}{400}$

$\frac{125.6}{400}$

=> 0.314 gallon

Solve the equation for x by graphing -2x + 3 = -3(-x) - 2

adoni [48]

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a couple of ways to solve this. One is to graph the left side of the equation, graph the right side of the equation, and look for the point where those graphs intersect. It is at x = 1. The first attached graph shows this solution.

Another method for solving such an equation is to subtract one side from the other and look for the value of x that makes the resulting expression zero.

(-2x +3) -(-3(-x) -2) = 0

A graphing calculator doesn't need to have this simplified. If it is simplified, it becomes ...

-5x +5 = 0

So, the graphed line is y = -5x+5. Its x-intercept is x=1, the solution of the original equation. The graph of this is shown in the second attachment.
