Answer:

$12

Step-by-step explanation:

The best way to do this is with a simple ratio. If you pay $3 for one meter, then for 4 meters, you’d pay $12. You BOUGHT 4 times more cord, which means you’d PAY 4 times more. Thus, 3 x 4 = 12!

Or with ratios:

1 meter : $3

multiplying both sides by 4

4 meters : $12

Find a rectangular equation. X = 3tan t, Y = 2sec t, for in (−π /2 , π /2 )

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$x= 3tan(t) \rightarrow tan(t) = \frac{x}{3} \rightarrow tan^2(t) = \frac{x^2}{9}$

$y= 2sec(t) \rightarrow sec(t) = \frac{y}{2} \rightarrow sec^2(t) = \frac{y^2}{4}$

$sec^2(t) -tan^2(t) =1$

$\frac{y^2}{4} -\frac{x^2}{9} =1$

is the rectangular equation of the parameter functions.

also, it is a hyperbola. The condition $-\pi/2 < t$ limit x from 0 to infinitive

a five question multiple choice quiz has five choices for each answer. use the random number table provided, with 0's representi

Montano1993 [528]

The experimental probability of correctly guessing at random exactly zero correct answers is (4/5)⁵

<h3>What is Probability?</h3>

Probability can be defined as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes of an event.

Here, total multiple choice quiz = 5 questions

Each question contains 5 choices in which 1 choice is correct and remaining 4 are incorrect.

Possibility of first wrong choice = 4/5

Possibility of second wrong choice = 4/5

Possibility of third wrong choice = 4/5

Possibility of fourth wrong choice = 4/5

Possibility of fifth wrong choice = 4/5

Overall probability for Zero correct answer=(4X4X4X4X4)/(5X5X5X5X5)

= (4/5)⁵

Thus, the experimental probability of correctly guessing at random exactly zero correct answers is (4/5)⁵

Consider the equation. Which graph shows a line that is perpendicular to the line defined by the given equation? A. In a linear

Nikolay [14]

The graph second represents the line that is perpendicular to the line y = 4x - 2 option (B) is correct.

<h3>What is the slope?</h3>

The ratio that y increase as x increases is the slope of a line. The slope of a line reflects how steep it is, but how much y increases as x increases. Anywhere on the line, the slope stays unchanged (the same).

$\rm m =\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

The question is incomplete:

The complete question is:

Consider the equation y = 4x - 2 Which graph shows a line that is perpendicular to the line defined by the given equation?

Please refer to the attached picture.

The given line:

y = 4x - 2

The slope of the line m = 4

The slope of the line which is perpendicular to the above line:

M = -1/4 = -0.25

The graph second has a slope of -0.25

$\rm y\ -2\ =\ \dfrac{\left(2-0.5\right)}{-4-2}\left(x+4\right)$

y - 2 = -0.25x - 1

y = -0.25x + 1

Thus, the graph second represents the line that is perpendicular to the line y = 4x - 2 option (B) is correct.
