The bucket originally contained 0.5 in. of water.


B.


The bucket originally contained 4 in. of water.

The verticall intercept is the value of H when t=0. It's 4 in this equation. It's that "several inches" of water that were in the bucket when the rain was ready to start.

First you can cross out A and D because those are the obvious wrong answers. the answer would be B because the vertical intercept is the y-intercept and 4 was added to the slope. if a number is added to the slope that number will be the vertical intercept.

C...to show this, interchange letters: x = (y+1)/(y-1)xy-x = y + 1xy - y) = x + 1y(x-1) = x+1y = (x+1)/(x-1) ⇐ this is f-1(x) and it's identical to f(x).  Note: <span>the equal sign is missing in the definitions of the functions c. & d.</span>

A square dartboard contains a red square and a blue square that overlap. A dart hits a random point on the board.
FinnZ [79.3K]
They want to know the probability of landing in the blue and red section at the same time. In other words, they want to know the probability of landing in the purple section.

We'll need the area of the purple square. This square is 1.5 inches by 1.5 inches. This is because 4 - 2.5 = 1.5

So the purple square has an area of 1.5*1.5 = 2.25 square inches

Divide this over the total area of the largest square (which is 9x9) to get 2.25/81 = 0.02777... where the 7's go on forever

Round that to two decimal places. The final answer is 0.03

Side note: 2.25/81 is equivalent to the reduced fraction 1/36 (express 2.25/81 as 225/8100 and then divide both parts by the GCF 225)
