We call the ratio between two directly proportional quantities the constant of proportionality. When two quantities are directly proportional, they increase and decrease at the same rate. While these two quantities may increase or decrease, the constant of proportionality always remains the same.
Answer:
Malcolm is showing evidence of gambler's fallacy.
This is the tendency to think previous results can affect future performance of an event that is fundamentally random.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since each round of the roulette-style game is independent of each other. The probability that 8 will come up at any time remains the same, equal to the probability of each number from 1 to 10 coming up. That it has not come up in the last 15 minutes does not increase or decrease the probability that it would come up afterwards.
Answer:
width: 5.5 yd; length: 8 yd
Step-by-step explanation:
Let w represent the width of the rectangle in yards. Then 2w-3 is the length and the area is the product of length and width:
w(2w-3) = 44
2w^2 -3w -44 = 0 . . . . put the equation into standard form
(w+4)(2w -11) = 0 . . . . . factor the equation
w = -4 or 11/2 . . . . . . . . the negative solution is extraneous
Then the length is 2·(11/2) -3 = 8.
The width of the rectangle is 5.5 yards; the length is 8 yards.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine which point lies on the graph, substitute the x-coordinate into f(x) and if the value is equal to the y-coordinate then the point is on the graph
A (15, 1)
f(15) = 3 ×
≠ 1 ← not on graph
B (0, 15)
f(0) = 3 ×
= 3 × 1 = 3 ≠ 15 ← not on graph
C (1, 15)
f(1) = 3 ×
= 3 × 5 = 15 ← lies on graph
D (0, 0)
f(0) = 3 ×
= 3 × 1 = 3 ≠ 0 ← not on graph
