The total number of fish available in the tank is (18 + 22) = 40. We want to randomly select 2 fish and come up with 2 goldfish. The probability for 1 goldfish to be taken out would be 18/40. Now, after drawing the first fish, the probability to get another goldfish would be 17/39. And the probability to draw 2 goldfish would be the product of both probabilities. P = (18/40)(17/39) = 51/260 Thus, the answer is <span>B.</span>

Answer:

  • see below for a drawing
  • the area of one of the trapezoids is 20 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

No direction or other information about the desired parallelogram is given here, so we drew one arbitrarily. Likewise for the segment cutting it in half. It is convenient to have the bases of the trapezoids be the sides of the parallelogram that are 5 units apart.

The area of one trapezoid is ...

  A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h = (1/2)(3+5)·5 = 20 . . . . square units

The sum of the trapezoid base lengths is necessarily the length of the base of the parallelogram, so the area of the trapezoid is necessarily 1/2 the area of the parallelogram. (The area is necessarily half the area of the parallelogram also because the problem has us divide the parallelogram into two identical parts.)

Which of the following lines is perpendicular to y = -5x - 2?
kykrilka [37]
Answer: c is perpendicular to y = -5x - 2

Explanation: The slope of a perpendicular line is an opposite reciprocal of the original slope/line. (Basically switch the numerator and denominator and the sign. In this case, the slope is -5/1x. It’s opposite reciprocal is 1/5x.)

You can take a look at my notes for further clarification. Hope this helps!

Simplify (5x−2+3x^2)+(4x+3)
Art [367]

Answer:

3x^2 + 9x + 1

Or

3x ( x + 3 ) + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

(5x - 2 +3x^2 ) + (4x + 3 )

To make this a little bit more easier to read, you can remove the parentheses:

5x - 2 + 3x^2 + 4x + 3

Now, write in a way so that the like terms are next to each other:

3x^2 + 5x + 4x - 2 + 3

Now simplify the 'x' terms to get:

3x^2 + 9x - 2 + 3

Now, simplify the integers (the ones with now variables with them) to get:

3x^2 + 9x + 1

If you want, you can factor out the 3x for two of the terms to get :

3x ( x + 3 ) + 1

Therefore, your simplest form can either be 3x^2 + 9x + 1 OR 3x (x + 3 ) + 1
