Let J represent Joel
Let K represent Kayla
Joel is twice as old as Kayla
J = 2K
In five years time, the sum of their ages is 55
(J + 5) + (K + 5) = 55
J + K + 10 = 55
J + K = 45
substitute J = 2K
2K + K = 45
3K = 45
K = 15
and J =2K
J = 2 * 15=30
Joel is 30 years old
Kayla is 15 years old
pls mark as brainliest

These tables represent a quadratic function with a vertex at (0,3). What is the average rate of change for the interval from X =

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

-19

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing table is shown in the attachment.

Since the quadratic function has vertex at (0,3), its equation is of the form;

$y = a {x}^{2} + 3$

To find the value of 'a' we substitute any other point from the table say (1,2) to get:

$2 = a( {1)}^{2} + 3$

$a = 2 - 3 = - 1$

Hence the function is

$y = - {x}^{2} + 3$

Now

$f(10) = - 100 + 3 = - 97$

$f(9) = - 81 + 3 = - 78$

The average rate of change from x=9 to x=10 is

$\frac{f(10) - f(9)}{10 - 9} = \frac{ - 97 - - 78}{1} = - 19$

A foreman for an injection-molding firm admits that on 55% of his shifts, he forgets to shut off the injection machine on his li

motikmotik

Answer:

0.8594

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a denote the event of forgetting to shut off machine and b be the event of being defective.

-A foreman forgets to shut off machine 55% of the time.

-If he forgets, 15% of molds are defective.

-If he does not, 3% of molds are defective.

#The probability that he forgot to shut off the machine is calculated as:

$P(a \ and \ b)=0.55\times 0.15\\\\=0.0825\\\\$

P(a and ~b)=0.55(1-0.15)=0.4675

P(~a and b) = (1-0.55)*0.03=0.0135

P(~a and ~b) = (1-0.55)*(1-0.03)=0.4365

#Conditional probability is defined as:

$P(a|b)=\frac{P(a \ and\ b)}{P(a)}\\\\=\frac{P(a \ and \ b)}{[(P(a \ and \ b)+P(\~a \ and \ b)}\\\\\\=\frac{0.0825}{0.0825+0.0135}\\\\\\=0.8594$

Hence, the probability that the foreman forgot to shut off the machine the previous night is 0.8594
