W² - 121
Yes we can factorize this and we will get (w + 11)(w - 11)
x² + 25
Nope, we can not factorize this
n² - 50
Again, we can not factorize this
x² - 36
Yes we can and we will get (x + 6)(x -6)

This is how I would find my answer. As you can tell, completely different compare to Apocrochon's answer but we got the same answer lol.

Thus, the correct answer are : A and D

If an expression is the difference of two squares, it will follow this format:
(a)^{2}-(b)^{2}
where a and b are integers or variables.

1) w^{2} - 121 = (w)^{2} -( 11)^{2}
Since the expression follows the format, it's a DoTS.

2) Since the binomial has an addition sign, it isn't a DoTS.

3) n^{2}-50=(n)^{2}-(5\sqrt{2})^{2}
The second term isn't an integer, so the expression isn't a DoTS.

4) a^{2}-36=(a)^{2}-(6)^{2}
Since the expression follows the format, it's a DoTS.

Therefore, the first and fourth expressions are differences of two squares.

In answering on a multiple choice test, a student either know the answer or guesses. Let p be the probability that the students
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

P(A_{1}|B ) =\frac{mp}{1+p(m-1)}

Step-by-step explanation:

For mutually exclusive events as A1, A2, A3, etc, Bayes' theorem states:

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

P(A|B) is a conditional probability: the likelihood of event A occurring given that B is true.

P(B|A) is a conditional probability: the likelihood of event B occurring given that A is true.

P(A) is the probability that A occurs

P(B) is the probability that B occurs

For this problem:

A1 is the probability that the student knows the answer

A2 is the probability that the student guesses the answer

B is the probability that the student answer correctly

P(A_{1})=p \\P(A_{2})=1-p \\P(B|A_{1})=1 \\P(B|A_{2})=\frac{1}{m} \\P(B)= P(A_{1})P(B|A_{1}) + P(A_{2})P(B|A_{2})= p+\frac{1-p}{m} \\

P(B|A₁) means the probability that the answer is correct when he knew the answer

P(B|A₂) means the probability that the answer is correct when he guessed the answer

P(A₁|B) means the probability that he knew the answer when the answer was correct

Replacing everything in the Bayes' theorem you get:

P(A_{1}|B)= \frac{P(B|A_{1})P(A_{1})}{P(B)}=\frac{(1)(p)}{p+\frac{1-p}{m}} =\frac{mp}{mp+1-p} =\frac{mp}{1+p(m-1)}

Draw the image of the following segment after a dilation centered at the origin with a scale factor of 2/3
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ends of the given segment are A and B.

Coordinates of A → (8, 6)

Coordinates of B → (12, 12)

If a point (x, y) is dilated by a scale factor 'k' about the origin, rule to be followed,

(x, y) → (kx, ky)

If k = \frac{2}{3}

(x, y) → (\frac{2}{3}x, \frac{2}{3}y)

By this rule coordinates of the image points of A and B will be,

A(8, 6) → A'(\frac{2\times 8}{3},\frac{2\times 6}{3})

           → A'(5.3, 4)

B(12, 12) → B'(\frac{12\times 2}{3}, \frac{12\times 2}{3})

             → B'(8, 8)

Now we can get the image of segment AB after dilation by a scale factor of \frac{2}{3}.
