Answer:

The correct option is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the degree and variables of two terms are same, then they are called like terms.

In option A.

The given expression is

$12b^2+4ab-3ba-6$

Here, 4ab and -3ab are like terms because both have same variables a and b with degree 1.

By combining like terms we get

$12b^2+(4ab-3ab)-6$

$12b^2+ab-6$

In options B, C and D, there are no like terms, So only the expression $12b^2+4ab-3ba-6$ we can simplify by combining like terms.

Therefore the correct option is A.

Bingel [31]

Answer:

The task is explained in detail below.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a dog, a goat, and a bag of tin cans are to be transported across a river in a ferry that can carry only one of these three items at once (along with a ferry driver).

The driver will first transport the goat to the other shore and then return empty. Then they will take a bag of tin and transport it to the other shore, and then they will return with the goat to their original place.

Then he will leave the goat there and take a dog and carry it to the other shore and then return empty.

And eventually they will take the goat and transport it to the other shore.

Anyone know the answer??

Serggg [28]

Answer:

the second option

Step-by-step explanation:

in ax²+bx+c = 0:

$x = \frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

subtract both sides by 6 to get to this form, as the right side will be left with 0

6x² + 8x - 6 = 0

here, the coefficient for x² (a) is 6, the coefficient for x (b) is 8, and the remaining number added on (c) is -6

plugging our numbers into the formula, we get

$x = \frac{-8+-\sqrt{(-8)^2-4(6)(-6)} }{2(6)}\\= \frac{-8+-\sqrt{64-(-144)} }{12} \\= \frac{-8+-\sqrt{208} }{12} \\ = \frac{-8+\sqrt{208} }{12} or \frac{-8-\sqrt{208} }{12}\\= 0.53518375848 or -1.86851709182\\= approximately -1.87, 0.54$

Why might Razis method not be a good way to estimate the probability? My team won 18 of their last 20 matches, so the probabilit

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

It is a really idealistic way to estimate probability.

It usually works well for random events where there is no restriction like:

"There are N elements in a set, the probability of randomly selecting any element is the same (so there is no restriction) meaning that for every single element, the probability is 1/N.

Now suppose that there are K elements (K < N) with a given characteristic, then the probability of randomly selecting one of the K elements out of the sett with N elements is equal to K times the probability of each element, this is:

P = K*(1/N) = K/N"

Then if a dice has 6 possible outputs, and we want to find the probability of getting a 3 or a 5, we need to find the quotient between the outcomes where we get a 3 or a 5 (2) and the total number of outcomes (6)

P = 2/6

Now let's go to the case in the problem:

We know that out of the last 20 games, your team won 18.

Then yes, your team won (18/20)*100% = 90% of their played games.

Does this mean tath the probability of winning the next game is 90%?

Well no, because this is not a random selection, there are a lot of other things needed to analyze, as the win rate of the other team (suppose that the other team won 14 of their last 20 games, then their win rate is (16/20)*100% = 70%

Does this mean that the probability where our team wins is 90%, and the probability of the enemy team winning is 70%?

Well no, this makes no sense at all, and this is why this method is not a good way to estimate probability in complex cases like this one.

Please help!!!!!!<br><br> y=[?]°

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Since there are already 2 angles shown, which are 48 and 90 (indicated by the square in the bigger triangle, we can set up an equation.

48 + 90 + y = 180

138 + y = 180

-138 + 138 + y = 180 - 138

y = 42°
