A bag contains 10 red stars and 7 blue stars. John randomly draws 4 stars from the bag. He does not replace the stars after each

draw. What is the probability that he draws 1 red star and 3 blue stars?

Red star- 10/17, likely

blue star- 7/17, likely

they're both likely, because the nominators are both about more than half of the denominator

help pls! The pair of figures to the right are similar. Compare the first figure to the second. Give the ratio of the perimeters
WINSTONCH [101]

Step-by-step explanation:

the scaling ratio is 12/20 = 3/5.

this always applies only to one-dimensional distances, lengths.

the perimeter is calculated as the sum of individual lengths. so while each length is scaled by the same ratio, also the sum is then scaled by that ratio.

p_old = a + b + c

p_new = ra + rb + rc = r(a + b + c) = r×p_old

so, the ratio for the perimeter is also 3/5.

for the area this is a bit different, as an area is always calculated by multiplying 2 lengths (other unscaled factors can be ignored for that consideration of relative change), and that means the scaling ratio has to be multiplied in twice.

a_old = a × b

a_new = ra × rb = r² × a×b = r² × a_old

so, the ratio for the area is

(3/5)² = 9/25

In ideal conditions, 200 colony-forming units (cfu) of E. coli can grow to 400 cfu in 20 minutes, to 800 cfu in 40 minutes, and
kvasek [131]

Answer:

(a)Yes, it is an exponential function.

(b)P(t)=200\cdot 2^{t/20}

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)A population grows exponentially if it increases by a common ratio(called the growth ratio). We can see from the given information that the population of E.coli doubles every 20 minutes, therefore it is an exponential growth with a growth ratio of 2.

(b)The population, P(t) at any time t of an initial population, P_o  with a growth ratio of r over a period k can be modeled using the function:

P(t)=P_o\cdot r^{t/k}

In this Case:

P_o=200

Growth rate,r=2

Growth Period,k=20 minutes

Therefore, the equation that models the function is:

P(t)=200\cdot 2^{t/20} , t is in minutes

Which property is illustrated by the following statement 9a(bc)=(9a)bc
Mice21 [21]

This is the associative property of multiplication.

When there are multiple numbers that are only being multiplied, the grouping of such numbers (with parentheses) does NOT matter.

Using the given zero, find one other zero of f(x). Explain the process you used to find your solution. 1 - 2i is a zero of f(x)
Vika [28.1K]
SInce one of the zeros is 1 - 2i, another zero has to be 1 + 2i.
You get a complex zero by taking the square root of a negative number, When you take the square root of a number you get two answers (unless you are taking the square root of zero).
In order to get -2i you had to be taking the sqrt (-4) which is + - 2i
