Answer:

<h2>4/11</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur.

<em>Probability = expected number of outcome/Total number of outcome</em>

If there are group of 11 people, then the total outcome of events will be 11

If we are to select 4 oldest people from the group, then the expected outcome is 4.

Hence, the probability that the 4 oldest people in the group were selected is 4/11.

What are the transformations to this quadratic function y= (x+4) power of 2 - 8
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

Horizontal shift of 4 units to the left.

Vertical translation of 8 units downward.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic function, y = (x + 4)² - 8, which represents the horizontal and vertical translations of the parent graph, y = x²:

The vertex form of the quadratic function is y = a(x - h)² + k

Where:

The vertex is (h , k), which is either the <u>minimum</u> (upward facing graph) or <u>maximum</u> (downward-facing graph).

The axis of symmetry occurs at <em>x = h</em>.

<em>a</em> =  determines whether the graph opens up or down, and makes the graph wider or narrower.

<em>h</em> = determines how far left or right the parent function is translated.

<em>k</em> = determines how far up or down the parent function is translated.

Going back to your quadratic function,

          y = (x + 4)² - 8

  • The vertex occrs at (-4, -8)
  • a is assumed to have a value of 1.
  • Given the value of <em>h</em> = -4, then it means that the graph shifted horizontally by <u>4 units to the left</u>.  
  • Since k = -8, then it implies that the graph translated vertically at <u>8 units downward</u>.

A bus on a regular schedule takes 3 1/4 hours to reach its destination. The express bus takes 2 1/2 hours to make the same trip.
alisha [4.7K]
To find this answer, we should subtract 2 1/2 from 3 1/4. The simplest way to do this is to turn them into improper fractions, found the least common denominator, and subtract the numerators.

3 1/4=13/4
2 1/2=5/2

The least common multiple is 4, so we should multiply the numerator and denominator of 5/2 by 2.

5/2=10/4

Now we can just subtract the numerators.

13/4-10/4=3/4

Using the math above, we can see that it saves D. 3/4 hours.

Answer:

The decrease was $1755.

At the end of the year, he had $6045 in his account.

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with $7800.

Decrease of 22.5% of $7800.

22.5% of $7800 =

= $1755

The decrease was $1755.

$7800 - $1755 = $6045

At the end of the year, he had $6045 in his account.

Marcos had 15 coins in nickels and quarters. He had 3 more quarters than nickels. He wrote a system of equations to represent th
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

There are 6 coins in nickels and 9 coins in quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, to find the solution.

According to question:

The number of nickels = x.

The number of quarters = y.

So, the total number of coins:

x+y=15.

He had 3 more quarters than nickels.

Thus,

y=x+3 .....(1)

Now, to get the solution:

x+y=15

Substituting the equation (1):

x+(x+3)=15

x+x+3=15

2x+3=15

<em>Subtracting both sides by 3 we get:</em>

<em />2x=12<em />

<em>Dividing both sides by 2 we get:</em>

x=6.

<em>The number of nickels = 6.</em>

Now, substituting the value of x in equation (1):

y=x+3\\\\y=6+3\\\\y=9.

<em>The number of quarters = 9.</em>

Thus, there are 6 coins in nickels and 9 coins in quarters.
