On a number line, a number, b, is located the same distance from 0 as another number, a, but in the opposite direction. The numb

er b varies directly with the number a. For example b= 2 when a = - 3 -2. Which equation represents this direct variation between a and b? Ob= -a U b = a Ob-a=0 Ob(-a) = 0​

Answer: b = - a

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that b is located the same distance from 0 as another number a, but in opposite direction.

If b varies directly as a

Then,

b = - ka

Hence the opposite variation or relationship between a and b means they both carry opposite signs

Hence,

b = - a

Can someone help me pls it due In the next two hrs
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

1. More magnets are longer than 2 1/2

2. 10 magnets measure in whole numbers and 5 magnets between 2 whole numbers

3. Because the shortest magnet is 1 inch and the longest magnet is 4 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.  There are 7 magnets that are longer than 7 1/2 and only 6 magnets that are shorter than 2 1/2. (The 2 magnets that are exactly 2 1/2 are neither longer nor shorter therefore they do not apply to the question.)

a rectangle has an area that is represented by 9x²-4. the length of the rectangle is 3x-2. what is the width?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Step-by-step explanation:

the area is

length × width

(3x - 2) × width = 9x² - 4

to find width we could do a real polynomial division or simply recognize the fact that

(a + b)(a - b) = a² - b²

and we see that in our area calculation we are missing the (a + b) factor.

so, width = (3x + 2)

but if you want the division :

9x² - 4 : 3x - 2 = 3x + 2

- 9x² - 6x

-----------------

0 6x - 4

- 6x - 4

----------------------

0 0

again, width = (3x + 2)

A die with six faces has the number 1 painted on three of its faces, the number 2 painted on 2 of its faces, and number 3 on one
salantis [7]

Answer:

a) S = {1, 2, 3}

b) P(odd number) = \frac{2}{3}

c) No

d) Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The sample space is the set of all possible outcomes. By definition, the elements of a set should not be repeated. Hence, the sample space S = {1, 2, 3}

However, the sample is not equiprobable because each element has different probabilities.

b) P(odd number) = \frac{number of odd digits}{number of faces}=\frac{4}{6}=\frac{2}{3}

Note that the odd numbers are 1 (on three faces) and 3 (on one face).

c) The fact the die has been biased does not change the possible outcomes. It only changes the probability of getting any given number.

d) Because the 3-face has been loaded, this probability changes. In fact, it is calculated thus:

Let's assume the probability for 1 or 2 is x. Then that of 3 is 2x(because it is twice the others). The sum of probabilities must be 1.

x+x+x+x+x+2x=1

7x=1

x=\frac{1}{7}

P(odd number) = 3\timesProb(1) + Prob(3)

= 3\times\frac{1}{7}+\frac{2}{7} = \frac{5}{7}
