AB = x

BC = 3x

AC = 20 inches = AB + BC

Let's plug our values into the equation above.

20 inches = x + 3x

Combine like terms

20 inches = 4x

Divide both sides by 4

5 = x

AB = x = 5 inches

BC = 3x = 3(5) = 15 inches

Tema [17]
So 3 bus tickets 3(64) = $192
and 4 train tickets 4(82) =$328
add them together 192+328 =520
it would cost $520 to buy 3 bus tickets and 4 train tickets

Olenka [21]

Answer:

0.9091 = 90.91% probability that a person flagged as a future criminal by the Precogs will actually commit a crime

Step-by-step explanation:

Bayes Theorem:

Two events, A and B.

P(B|A) = \frac{P(B)*P(A|B)}{P(A)}

In which P(B|A) is the probability of B happening when A has happened and P(A|B) is the probability of A happening when B has happened.

In this question:

Event A: Flagged as future criminal

Event B: Commits a crime.

In the year 2054 the government estimates that out of every 1,000,100 citizens 1,000,000 will remain law-abiding, and 100 will eventually commit a crime.

This means that P(B) = \frac{100}{1000100} = 0.00009999

If a person is going to commit a crime, the Precogs identify that person correctly 99.999% of the time

This means that P(A|B) = 0.99999

Probability of being identified as a criminal:

0.99999 out of 0.00009999(identified and commits crime).

(1-0.99999) out of (1-0.00009999) (identifed and does not commits crime). So

P(A) = 0.99999*0.00009999 + (1-0.99999)*(1-0.00009999) = 0.000109988

What is the probability that a person flagged as a future criminal by the Precogs will actually commit a crime

P(B|A) = \frac{P(B)*P(A|B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.00009999*0.99999}{0.000109988} = 0.9091

0.9091 = 90.91% probability that a person flagged as a future criminal by the Precogs will actually commit a crime

Morgarella [4.7K]
The answer is vertex is (5/2, 27/2).

Find x= -b/2a where a=-2, b=10 then plug x value back into function to solve for y value of vertex (x,y).
