f(x)= -7^2+8x+2 what is the value of the discriminant of f? How many x-intercepts does the graph of f have?

A line passes through point A (14,21). A second point on the line has an x-value that is 125% of the x-value of point A and a y-

seropon [69]

Answer:

The equation of the line in point-slope form is $y-21 = - \frac{3}{2}\cdot (x-14)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the statement, let $A(x,y) = (14,21)$ and $B(x,y) = (1.25\cdot x_{A},0.75\cdot y_{A})$ . The equation of the line in point-slope form is defined by the following formula:

$y-y_{A} = m\cdot (x-x_{A})$ (1)

Where:

$x_{A}$ , $y_{A}$ - Coordinates of the point A, dimensionless.

$m$ - Slope, dimensionless.

$x$ - Independent variable, dimensionless.

$y$ - Dependent variable, dimensionless.

In addition, the slope of the line is defined by:

$m = \frac{y_{B}-y_{A}}{x_{B}-x_{A}}$ (2)

If we know that $x_{A} = 14$ and $y_{A} = 21$ , then the equation of the line in point-slope form is:

$x_{B} = 1.25\cdot (14)$

$x_{B} = 17.5$

$y_{B} = 0.75\cdot (21)$

$y_{B} = 15.75$

From (2):

$m = \frac{15.75-21}{17.5-14}$

$m = -\frac{3}{2}$

By (1):

$y-21 = - \frac{3}{2}\cdot (x-14)$

The equation of the line in point-slope form is $y-21 = - \frac{3}{2}\cdot (x-14)$ .

Suppose a bag contains 4 white chips and 6 black chips. What is the probability of randomly choosing a white chip, not replacing

Marysya12 [62]

There are 10 chips altogether. 4 of them are white.
4/10 is the chance of lifting out a white chip
There are 3 of them left and 9 chips altogehter.
4/10 * 3/9
12/90
4/30
2/15

Comment
(my edit) it is not that 2/15 is wrong (although it is not entirely right).
1/3 is the correct answer if you assume that what happened during the first draw has nothing to do with what will happen on the second. It is like saying if you throw 11 heads in a row with a fair coin, what are the chances of throwing a heads on the 12th throw? The answer is 1/2. That is the same kind of question you have asked.

The two of us who have responded have really responded to what are the chances of drawing 2 white chips. The question really does not restrict us in a way that prevents us from saying that. I'll stick with
B <<<< answer
but I think it would be nice if the writer of the question made it clear that 1/3 should be the proper answer. I am glad you came back and posted the right answer. It makes me think.

The semi right answer is B <<<<----

If my reasoning bothers anybody, I'll reedit again. I'm only leaving it because sometimes a mistake is more instructive than a given answer.

Ken wants to install a row of ceramic tiles on a wall that is 21 3/8 inches wide. Each tile is 4 1/2 inches wide. What fraction

pentagon [3]

Answer: 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

He needs 4 3/4 whole tiles, you could round it to 5 whole tiles. He needed 4 3/4 whole tiles. To completely fill in all the spaces on the wall evenly, it needs to be 5 even, while, tiles. To fill in the empty space, you must subtract 5 and 4 3/4, which explains why Part A says “How many whole tiles does he need” and the answer “4 3/4” So, Subtraction: 5- 4 3/4 = 1/4!

Your welcome :)
