Answer:

The slope is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the roof is decreasing in height as it goes forward, I know that the slope must be negative. The equation to find the slope is rise/run. The vertical change, or the rise, is -6 feet, so that value goes on top of the fraction. The horizontal value, or the run, is 3 feet so that goes on the bottom of the fraction.

Now our fraction is $\frac{-6}{3}$

If you simplify that fraction, you'll get -2.

According to the Stack Overflow Developers Survey of 20184, 25.8% of developers are students.The probability that a developer is

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

0.0326 = 3.26% probability that she is a student.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

$P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}$

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

$P(A \cap B)$ is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Woman developer

Event B: Student

Probability that the developer is a woman:

7.4% of 25.8%(students).

76.4% of 100 - 25.8 = 74.2%(not students). So

$P(A) = 0.074*0.258 + 0.764*0.742 = 0.58598$

Student and woman developer.

7.4% of 25.8%(students), so

$P(A \cap B) = 0.074*0.258 = 0.019092$

If we encounter a woman developer, what is the probability that she is a student

$P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.019092}{0.58598} = 0.0326$

0.0326 = 3.26% probability that she is a student.

3/4(x + 3) = 9 How do I solve this

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

so first distribute the 3/4 to everything on the inside

3/4x + 1 1/2 = 9

now subtract 1 1/2 on both sides

3/4x = 7 1/2

Now divide both sides by 3/4

x = 7 1/2 divided by 3/4

x = 15/2 divided by 3/4

x = 15/2 times 4/3

x = 5/1 times 2/1

x = 10

defon

Answer:

$3 \: s$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y = - 16 {x}^{2} + 32x + 48 \\ 0 = \frac{ - 16 {x}^{2} + 32x + 48 }{ - 16} \\0 = {x}^{2} - 2x - 3 \\ 0= {x}^{2} - 3x + x - 3 \\ 0= x(x - 3) + 1(x - 3) \\0 = (x + 1)(x - 3) \\ \\ x + 1 = 0 \\ x = - 1 \\ x - 3 = 0 \\ x = 3$

Hope this helps you.
