Answer:

movie: $3.75
video game: $5.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Two equations in two unknowns can be written:

3m +5v = 40

9m +7v = 74

These can be solved a variety of ways. One of them is using Cramer's rule. It tells you the solution to

ax +by = c
dx +ey = f

is given by ...

∆ = bd -ea
x = (bf -ec)/∆
y = (cd -fa)/∆

For the numbers above,

∆ = 5·9 -7·3 = 24
m = (5·74 -7·40)/24 = 90/24 = 3.75
v = (40·9 -74·3)/24 = 138/24 = 5.75

The rental cost for each movie is $3.75; for each video game, it is $5.75.

At first, we will find the lengths of LK, Lm, ON, OP, then use them to find the ratios between them

The rule of the distance is

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

For LK

Since L = (3, 6), K = (1,5.33), then

$\begin{gathered} LK=\sqrt{(3-1)^2+(6-5.33)^2} \\ LK=\sqrt{4+0.4489} \\ LK=\sqrt{4.4489} \end{gathered}$

For LM

Since L = (3, 6), M = (5, 6.67), then

$\begin{gathered} LM=\sqrt{(3-5)^2+(6-6.67)^2} \\ LM=\sqrt{4+0.4489} \\ LM=\sqrt{4.4489} \end{gathered}$

For ON

Since O = (3, 2.59) and N = (5, 4.2), then

$\begin{gathered} ON=\sqrt{(3-5)^2+(2.59-4.2)} \\ ON=\sqrt{4+2.5921} \\ ON=\sqrt{6.5921} \end{gathered}$

For OP

Since O = (3, 2.59), P = (1, 0.99), then

$\begin{gathered} OP=\sqrt{(3-1)^2+(2.59-0.99)^2} \\ OP=\sqrt{4+2.56} \\ OP=\sqrt{6.56} \end{gathered}$

Now let us find the ratios between them

$\begin{gathered} \frac{KL}{LM}=\frac{\sqrt{4.4489}}{\sqrt{4.4489}}=1 \\ \frac{PO}{ON}=\frac{\sqrt{6.56}}{\sqrt{6.5921}}=0.9975\approx1 \\ \frac{KL}{LM}=\frac{PO}{ON}=1 \end{gathered}$

That means, Parallel lines intercept equal parts

By joining MP

We will have Triangle KPM

Since KL = LM ------- Proved using the distance formula

Since LQ // KP ------ Given

Then MQ = QP ------- Using the theorem down

The theorem

If a line is drawn from a midpoint of one side of a triangle parallel to the opposite side, then it will intersect the 3rd side in its midpoint (Q is the midpoint of MP)

Parallel lines intercept equal parts

A roulette wheel has 38 3838 slots, of which 18 1818 are red, 18 1818 are black, and 2 22 are green. In each round of the game,

Elina [12.6K]

The value of P(R = 3) is 0.2854

<h3>Probability</h3>

Probabilities are used to determine the chances of events.

The given parameters are:

$n = 38$ --- the number of slots
$red = 18$ . --- the number of red slot
$black = 18$ . --- the number of black slot
$green = 2$ . --- the number of green slot

<h3>Individual probabilities</h3>

The probability that the ball lands on a red slot is calculated as:

$p = \frac{18}{38}$

Simplify

$p= \frac{9}{19}$

The probability that the ball does not land on a red slot is calculated as:

$q = \frac{18+2}{38}$

$q = \frac{20}{38}$

Simplify

$q = \frac{10}{19}$

<h3>Binomial probability</h3>

The value of P(R = 3) is then calculated using the following binomial probability formula

$P(R = r) = ^nC_rp^rq^{n-r}$

Where:

$n = 7$

$r = 3$

So, we have:

$P(R = 3) = ^7C_3 \times (9/19)^3 \times (10/19)^{7-3}$

$P(R = 3) = 35 \times (9/19)^3 \times (10/19)^4$

$P(R = 3) = 0.2854$

Hence, the value of P(R = 3) is 0.2854

In the 2004 Olympics, Adam won a gold medal in the men's 500 m kayak race, with a time of 1 min and 37.9 sec. He also won the br

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is Adam rowed faster in the men's 500-meter kayak race.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the speed he rowed in both races, you need to divide the distance of the race by the time it took him to finish. In the first race, he rowed 500 meters and did it in a time of 1 minute 37.9 seconds, so the speed in that race would be $\frac{500}{97.9}$ or approximately 5.10725 meters per second. In the second race, Adam rowed a distance of 1000 meters and did it in a time of 3 minutes 28.2 seconds, which means his speed in that race would be $\frac{1000}{208.2}$ or approximately 4.80307 meters per second. Since his speed in the first race was faster than his speed in the second race, Adam rowed faster in the first race would be the correct answer.
