Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

∆DEF is similar to ∆ABC

∆DEF ≈ ∆ABC

Then, using similar triangle properties

DE / AB = DF /AC = EF / BC

Given that,

EF = 5cm, DE = 6cm and DF = 8cm

6 / AB = 8 / AC = 5 / BC

We need one more data, to solve this problem, so the question is not complete, but let assume AC is 16cm

Then, we can find AB and BC

So, taking each part of the equation

6 / AB = 8 / AC

Since we assumed AC = 16cm

6 / AB = 8 / 16 = ½

6×2 = AB

AB = 12cm

Taking the other parts of the equation

8 / AC = 6 / BC

8 / 16 = 5 / BC

½ = 5 / BC

Bc = 2 × 5

BC = 10cm.

The cost of 12 oranges and 7 apples is $5.36. eight oranges and 5 apples cost $3.68. Find The cost of each
makkiz [27]
Oranges=r
apples=a


12<em>r</em>+7<em>a</em>=5.36
-12<em>r </em>      -12<em>r</em>
What you do on one side you do on both sides
12 on the left cancels out
7<em>a</em>=5.36-12<em>r</em>
/7   /7     /7
Divide 7
7 on the left cancels out
5.36/7=0.76....
left with
<em>a</em>=0.76-12<em>r</em>/7
so the apples cost $0.76 each
to get the cost of the oranges (<em>r</em>) you do the same as you did to get the cost of the apples.
 
Also on the other equation for 8 oranges and 5 apples you might get different answers but you will see that they are close/similar to the same answers as you will get for the last equations.

Approximately 5% of workers in the US use public transportation to get to work. You randomly select 25 workers and ask if they u
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

0.2305 = 23.05% probability that exactly 2 workers say yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each worker, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they say yes, or they say no. The probability of a worker saying yes is independent of any other worker, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

5% of workers in the US use public transportation to get to work.

This means that p = 0.05

You randomly select 25 workers

This means that n = 25

Find the probability that exactly 2 workers say yes.

This is P(X = 2). So

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 2) = C_{25,2}.(0.05)^{2}.(0.95)^{23} = 0.2305

0.2305 = 23.05% probability that exactly 2 workers say yes.

Complete the first 4 steps for graphing the quadratic function given.
almond37 [142]

To be honest, I'm not sure which four steps your teacher is referring to. However, I'll show you one way to graph this.

A graph is simply a collection of points. Often those points are connected in some way (though they don't necessarily have to be) to form a curve.

Each point is of the form (x,y). To get each point, we pick random x values and determine their paired y value counterpart.

For example, if we pick x = -3, then,

y= -x^2 -4x -3

y= -(-3)^2 -4(-3) -3

y = -9 - 4(-3) - 3

y = -9 + 12 - 3

y = 0

This indicates that (-3, 0) is one point on the curve.

Let's repeat for x = -2

y= -x^2 -4x -3

y= -(-2)^2 -4(-2) -3

y = -4 - 4(-2) - 3

y = -4 + 8 - 3

y = 1

So (-2, 1) is another point on the curve.

Repeat this process as many times as you want. You should do at least 3 or 4 points in my opinion. The more points you generate, the more accurate the curve. After generating the points, you'll plot them all on the same xy grid. Then finally draw a curve through all of the points as shown below.

I used GeoGebra to make the graph.
