A basketball player is fouled while attempting to make a basket and receives two free throws. The opposing coach believes there

is a 30% chance that the player will miss both shots, a 16% chance that he will make one of the shots, and a 54% chance that he will make both shots.A. Construct the appropriate probability distribution. B. What is the probability that he makes no more than one of the shots?C. What is the probability that he makes at least one of the shots?

First,you should graph<span> the equals line, then lightly shade in the correct area. 3 steps: Rearrange the equation so "y" is on the left and everything else on the right. or below the line for a "less than" (y< or y≤)</span>

Triangle TAG is graphed as shown

solniwko [45]

Answer:

The transformation is (x,y) to (x-2,y-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we note the coordinates of the point G

The coordinates of the point G is (2,6)

To bring this to the origin, we are looking at bringing it to the point (0,0)

To do this, we subtract 2 from the x-value and 6 from the y value

So what we have is that;

(x-2) and (y-6)

(x-2, y-6)

What is an equation of the line that passes through (2,2) and is parellel to the line y=7x

laila [671]

Answer:

Therefore, equation of the line that passes through (2,2) and is parellel to the line $y=7x$ is $y=7x-12$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

a line $y=7x$

To Find:

Equation of line passing through ( 2, 2) and is parellel to the line y=7x

Solution:

$y=7x$ ...........Given

Comparing with,

$y=mx$

Where m =slope

We get

$Slope = m = 7$

We know that parallel lines have Equal slopes.

Therefore the slope of the required line passing through (2 , 2) will also have the slope = m = 7.

Now the equation of line in slope point form given by

$(y-y_{1})=m(x-x_{1})$

Substituting the points and so we will get the required equation of the line,

$(y-2)=7(x-2)=7x-14\\\\y=7x-12......Equation\ of\ line$

Therefore, equation of the line that passes through (2,2) and is parellel to the line $y=7x$ is $y=7x-12$

4. Gloria the grasshopper is working on her hops.

aivan3 [116]

The path that Gloria follows when she jumped is a path of parabola.

The equation of the parabola that describes the path of her jump is $\mathbf{y = -\frac{5}{49}(x - 14)^2 + 20}$

The given parameters are:

$\mathbf{Height = 20}$

$\mathbf{Length = 28}$

<em>Assume she starts from the origin (0,0)</em>

The midpoint would be:

$\mathbf{Mid = \frac 12 \times Length}$

$\mathbf{Mid = \frac 12 \times 28}$

$\mathbf{Mid = 14}$

So, the vertex of the parabola is:

$\mathbf{Vertex = (Mid,Height)}$

Express properly as:

$\mathbf{(h,k) = (14,20)}$

A point on the graph would be:

$\mathbf{(x,y) = (28,0)}$

The equation of a parabola is calculated using:

$\mathbf{y = a(x - h)^2 + k}$

Substitute $\mathbf{(h,k) = (14,20)}$ in $\mathbf{y = a(x - h)^2 + k}$

$\mathbf{y = a(x - 14)^2 + 20}$

Substitute $\mathbf{(x,y) = (28,0)}$ in $\mathbf{y = a(x - 14)^2 + 20}$

$\mathbf{0 = a(28 - 14)^2 + 20}$

$\mathbf{0 = a(14)^2 + 20}$

Collect like terms

$\mathbf{a(14)^2 =- 20}$

Solve for a

$\mathbf{a =- \frac{20}{14^2}}$

$\mathbf{a =- \frac{20}{196}}$

Simplify

$\mathbf{a =- \frac{5}{49}}$

Substitute $\mathbf{a =- \frac{5}{49}}$ in $\mathbf{y = a(x - 14)^2 + 20}$

$\mathbf{y = -\frac{5}{49}(x - 14)^2 + 20}$

Hence, the equation of the parabola that describes the path of her jump is $\mathbf{y = -\frac{5}{49}(x - 14)^2 + 20}$

!!PLEASE HELP!! CAN GIVE BRAINLIEST!!

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

'The closest distance between Earth and Jupiter is greater than the closest distance between Earth and Mercury by approximately 7.66 times'.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

Distance between Earth and Jupiter = 5.9 × 10⁸ kilometers

Distance between Earth and Mercury = 7.7 × 10⁷ = 0.77 × 10⁸ kilometers

So, we see that,

5.9 × 10⁸ > 0.77 × 10⁸

Also, Ratio = $\frac{5.9\times 10^8}{0.77\times 10^8} =7.66$

That is,

'The closest distance between Earth and Jupiter is greater than the closest distance between Earth and Mercury by approximately 7.66 times'.
