Answer:

A and B.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we want to select the fractions that equal -1/7.

Let's go through each of the answer choices.

A is -1/7, the exact same.

A is correct.

B is 1/-7.

We can move the negative to the top.

So, 1/-7 is equivalent to -1/7.

B is also correct.

C is 1/7

There are no negatives whatsoever.

C is not correct.

We have -1/-7.

Again, move the negative to the top. We will have:

-(-1)/7

The two negatives cancel:

=1/7.

So, D is not correct.

Our answers are A and B.

Why not?<br> If 4 + 6 = 10, does (4 + 6) X 3 = 10 X 3? Why<br> or why not?

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

It would be 10*3

Step-by-step explanation:

If we follow the rule of BIDMAS or BODMAS, they both have Brackets to be done first.

By meaning we must do 4+6 as it is in the bracket. Then we multiply our answer by 3.

A box of Georgia peaches has 3 bad and 12 good peaches. (a) If you make a peach cobbler of 12 peaches randomly selected from the

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

a) 0.21% probability that there are no bad peaches in the peach cobbler.

b) 99.79% probability of having at least 1 bad peach in the peach cobbler

c) 7.91% probability of having exactly 2 bad peaches in the peach cobbler.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

The order in which the peaches are chosen is not important. So the combinations formula is used to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

$C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

(a) If you make a peach cobbler of 12 peaches randomly selected from the box, what is the probability that there are no bad peaches in the peach cobbler?

Desired outcomes:

12 good peaches, from a set of 12. So

$D = C_{12,12} = \frac{12!}{12!(12 - 12)!} = 1$

Total outcomes:

12 peaches, from a set of 15. So

$T = C_{15,12} = \frac{15!}{12!(15 - 12)!} = 455$

Probability:

$p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{1}{455} = 0.0021$

0.21% probability that there are no bad peaches in the peach cobbler.

(b) What is the probability of having at least 1 bad peach in the peach cobbler?

Either there are no bad peaches, or these is at least 1. The sum of the probabilities of these events is 100%. So

p + 0.21 = 100

p = 99.79

99.79% probability of having at least 1 bad peach in the peach cobbler

(c) What is the probability of having exactly 2 bad peaches in the peach cob- bler?

Desired outcomes:

2 bad peaches, from a set of 3.

One good peach, from a set of 12.

$D = C_{3,2}*C_{12,1} = \frac{3!}{2!(3-2)!}*\frac{12!}{1!(12 - 1)!} = 36$

Total outcomes:

12 peaches, from a set of 15. So

$T = C_{15,12} = \frac{15!}{12!(15 - 12)!} = 455$

Probability:

$p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{36}{455} = 0.0791$

7.91% probability of having exactly 2 bad peaches in the peach cobbler.

Kinda need some help:)

Natali [406]

1.
f(x) = x
g(x) = x + 3

For each x value you use in f(x) and g(x), the corresponding y value in g(x) is always 3 more than in f(x). If each y-coordinate is 3 more, that means the graph is shifted 3 units up. The graph of f(x) is shifted 3 units up to create the graph of g(x).

2.
The first term is -0.5.
Then each term goes up by 0.25.

1st term: -0.5
2nd term: -0.5 + 0.25 = -0.5 + 0.25(1)
3rd term: -0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 = -0.5 + 0.25(2)
4th term: -0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = -0.5 + 0.25(3)
nth term: -0.5 + 0.25(n - 1)

-0.5 + 0.25(n - 1) = -0.5 + 0.25n - 0.25 = -0.75 + 0.25n = 0.25n - 0.75

Answer is C.
