If y = -12 when x = 9, find y when x = -4

1 answer:

7 0

Set it up like this: $\frac{9}{-12} = \frac{-4}{y}$ . Then you would cross multiply which would result in: $9y=48$ . Divide by 9 on both sides and $y=5.33333333$ .

If you flip a fair coin 7 times, what is the probability that you will get exactly 4 tails?

andre [41]

Probability that you will get exactly 4 tails, if you flip a fair coin 7 times is: $\frac{35}{128}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the probability that you will get exactly 4 tails, if you flip a fair coin 7 times.

This is the combination question.

The total combinations will be: 2^7=128

Now, finding number of ways we can get exactly 4 tiles:

We will use the formula:

$^nC_k=\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}$

in our given question, n= 7, k= 4

Putting values:

$^nC_k=\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}\\^7C_4=\frac{7!}{4!*3!}\\ ^7C_4=\frac{7*6*5*4!}{4!*3!}\\ ^7C_4=\frac{7*6*5}{6}\\ ^7C_4=35$

So, Probability that you will get exactly 4 tails, if you flip a fair coin 7 times is: $\frac{35}{128}$

balandron [24]

6√90 = 2.11693286302546
So, this number to the power of six equals 90.
2.11693286302546^6 = 90

The correct answer is 2.11693286302546.

Connie collected 50 seashells during her 5-day vacation. Each day she collected 3 more than the previous day. How many seashells

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

The number of seashells collected on day 1 to day 5 is 4, 7, 10, 13 and 16 respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a question that deals with consecutive numbers.

Let x represent the number of seashells collected on her first day.

Given that she collected 3 more each day, then

On day 2, she collected x + 3

On day 3, she collected x + 6

On day 4, she collected x + 9

On day 5, she collected x + 12

Adding up the above will give the number of sea shells collected on day 1;

i.e.

x + x + 3 + x + 6 + x + 9 + x + 12 = 50

Collect like terms

x + x + x + x + x + 3 + 6 + 9 + 12 = 50

5x + 30 = 50

5x = 50 - 30

5x = 20

Multiply ⅕ to both sides

⅕ * 5x = ⅕ * 20

x = 4.

This mean that she found 4 seashells on day 1;

Recall that day 2 = x + 3

So, day 2 = 4 + 3 = 7 seashells

day 3 = x + 6

day 3 = 4 + 6 = 10 seashells

day 4 = x + 9

day 4 = 4 + 9 = 13 seashells

day 5 = x + 12

day 5 = 4 + 13 = 16 seashells

Hence, the number of seashells collected on day 1 to day 5 is 4, 7, 10, 13 and 16 respectively
