Answer:

y=-\dfrac{1}{3}x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given: </u>

line y=3x-1

point (-3,0)

<u>Write:</u> equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given and passes through the point (-3,0)

<u>Solution:</u>

The slope of the given line is m=3

If m_1 is the slope of perpendicular line, then

m\cdot m_1=-1\\ \\3m_1=-1\\ \\m_1=-\dfrac{1}{3}

So, the equation of the needed line is y=-\dfrac{1}{3}x+b.

Find b. This line passes through the point (-3,0), so its coordinates satisfy the equation:

0=-\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot (-3)+b\\ \\0=1+b\\ \\b=-1\\ \\y=-\dfrac{1}{3}x-1

What is the factorization of 84
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

2×2×3×7

Step-by-step explanation:

84 is even, so divisible by 2. 84 = 2×42

42 is even, so divisible by 2. 82 = 2×2×21

21 has a sum of digits of 3, so is divisible by 3. 84 = 2×2×3×7

1. A weighted coin is biased so that a head is twice as likely to occur as a tail. If the coin is tossed 4 times, what is the pr
ohaa [14]

Answer:

80/81

Step-by-step explanation:

If a head is twice as likely to occur as a tail, then the probability of getting heads is 2/3 and the probability of getting tails is 1/3.

The probability of getting at least 1 head involves 4 scenarios:

1) 1 Head and 3 Tails

2) 2 Heads and 2 Tails

3) 3 Heads and 1 Tail

4) 4 Heads

Instead of calculate all these scenarios, you could calculate the opposite scenario: 4 Tails. The sum of all possible scenarios is 1, so:

P(at least one head) + P(no heads) = 1

Then, P(at least one head) = 1 - P(no heads)

The probability of 4 tails is:

P(no heads) = P(TTTT) = (1/3)(1/3)(1/3)(1/3)=1/81

Then, P(at least one head) = 1 - 1/81=80/81
