Answer:

  y = (5/4)2^x

Step-by-step explanation:

The function value increases by a factor of 40/10 = 4 when x increases by 2. The function can be written as ...

  y = (reference value)·(growth factor)^((x -reference)/(change in x for growth factor))

  y = 10·4^((x-3)/2) . . . . . . using point (3, 10) as a reference

This can be simplified to ...

  y = 10·2^(x -3) = 10/8·2^x

  y = (5/4)2^x

For a certain​ candy, 15​% of the pieces are​ yellow, 1010​% are​ red, 2020​% are​ blue, 55​% are​ green, and the rest are brown
MatroZZZ [7]
A) the probability it is brown would be 50%; the probability it is yellow or blue would be 35%; the probability it is not green is 95%; the probability it is striped is 0%.
B) the probability of all brown would be 12.5%; the probability that the third one is the first red one drawn is 8.1%; the probability that none are yellow is 61.4%; the probability that at least one is green is 14.3%.

Explanation:
A) The probability that it is brown is the percentage of brown we have.  Brown is not listed, so we subtract what we are given from 100%:
100-(15+10+20+5) = 100-(50) = 50%.  The probability that one drawn is yellow or blue would be the two percentages added together:  15+20 = 35%.  The probability that it is not green would be the percentage of green subtracted from 100:  100-5=95%.  Since there are no striped candies listed, the probability is 0%.
B) Since we have an infinite supply of candy, we will treat these as independent events.  All 3 being brown is found by taking the probability that one is brown and multiplying it 3 times:
0.5*0.5*0.5 = 0.125 = 12.5%.  
To find the probability that the first one that is red is the third one drawn, we take the probability that it is NOT red, 100-10 = 90% = 0.9, for the first two, and the probability that it IS red, 10% = 0.1, for the last:
0.9*0.9*0.1 = 0.081 = 8.1%.

The probability that none are yellow is found by raising the probability that the first one is not yellow, 100-15=85%=0.85, to the third power:

0.85^3 = 0.614 = 61.4%.

The probability that at least one is green is computed by subtracting 1-(probability of no green).  We first find the probability that all three are NOT green:
0.95^3 = 0.857375
1-0.857375 = 0.143 = 14.3%.

It sucks that points have to be used in order to post questions. 

Openstudy - the company that merged into Brainly -  was much better.

Anyway, I think that the answer to this question is A. I'm not sure, though.

Polygon ABCD has the following vertices: A(−3, 3), B(5, 5), C(5, −4), and D(−3, −4) Calculate the area of the polygon.
aniked [119]

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. When you plot the given points, you obtain a trapezoid, therefore, you must apply the formula for calculate the area of a trapezoid, which is:

A=\frac{(B+b)h}{2}

Where B is the larger base, b is the smaller base and h is the height.

2. The dimensions are:

B=9units\\ b=7units\\ h=8units

3. Substitute values:

\\A=\frac{(9 units+7units)(8units)}{2}  A=64 units^{2}

The answer is: 64 units^{2}
