Y = 3x
so
if x = 5 then y = 15
if x = 10 then y = 30
so a = 10 and b = 15
answer is B. second choice
a = 10 and b = 15
Answer:
a) -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope is also known as the gradient
1. assign a value to x and solve for y:
when x = 2, y = 2
when x = 4, y = 0
2. Next, use the equation of a straight line to find the gradient
y = mx + c
y is the y-coordinate, m is the gradient, x is the x-coordinate, c is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, which is found by equating y to 0 and solving for x
so y = mx + c becomes 2 = m*2 + 4, which then becomes 2 = 2m + 4
2m = -2 (take 4 away from 2)
<u>m = -1 </u>
Answer:
- The first option: $265.05
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>Option 1</h3>
<u>Payment as sequence:</u>
<u>This is an AP with:</u>
- The first term a = 11.75
- Common difference d = 0.35
- Number of terms n = 18
<u>Find the sum of the first 18 terms:</u>
- S₁₈ = (a + a₁₈)*18/2 = (a + a + 17d)*9 = (11.75*2 + 17*0.35)*9 = $265.05
<h3>Option 2</h3>
Flat rate $14.50 per hour
<u>The sum is:</u>
<u>Compared, we see the first option pays more:</u>
Answer:
In a certain Algebra 2 class of 30 students, 22 of them play basketball and 18 of them play baseball. There are 3 students who play neither sport. What is the probability that a student chosen randomly from the class plays both basketball and baseball?
I know how to calculate the probability of students play both basketball and baseball which is 1330 because 22+18+3=43 and 43−30 will give you the number of students plays both sports.
But how would you find the probability using the formula P(A∩B)=P(A)×p(B)?
Thank you for all of the help.
That formula only works if events A (play basketball) and B (play baseball) are independent, but they are not in this case, since out of the 18 players that play baseball, 13 play basketball, and hence P(A|B)=1318<2230=P(A) (in other words: one who plays basketball is less likely to play basketball as well in comparison to someone who does not play baseball, i.e. playing baseball and playing basketball are negatively (or inversely) correlated)
So: the two events are not independent, and so that formula doesn't work.
Fortunately, a formula that does work (always!) is:
P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)−P(A∩B)
Hence:
P(A∩B)=P(A)+P(B)−P(A∪B)=2230+1830−2730=1330
