Answer:

A quadrilateral is defined as a polygon which has 4 sides, that's it. If the quadrilateral has equal angles or equal sides is not the matter, the definition is just about the number of sides.

So, if Sheena claims that all quadrilaterals are rectangles, she is completely wrong, because to a quadrilateral become a rectangle, opposite sides have to be congruent and parallel, also angles must be equal to 90°, and these elements is not derived from the definition of a quadrilateral.

Therefore, quadrilaterals' definition is too general to make the claim Sheena is doing.

Quadrilaterals are shapes that have 4 sides.So it's not only rectangles.

The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "A. (3/8)." According to the general equation for conditional probability if P(AupsidedownuB) = (3/10) and P(B)= (2/5), then P(A|B) is 3/8.
Here are the following choices:
A. (3/8)
B. (1/2)
C. (3/4)
D. (1/16)

Graph the line passing through (6, 1) whose slope is m = 3.

Marina CMI [18]

Answer: $y=3x-17$

Step-by-step explanation:

use point-slope form:

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

$y-1=3(x-6)$

$y-1=3x-18$

$y=3x-17$

Find the derivative. y = 5/ (2root4(x^3))

DedPeter [7]

$\bf y=\cfrac{5}{2\sqrt[4]{x^3}}\implies y=\cfrac{5}{2}\cdot x^{-\frac{3}{4}}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{dy}{dx}=\cfrac{5}{2}\left( -\cfrac{3}{4}x^{-\frac{3}{4}-1} \right)\implies 
\cfrac{dy}{dx}=\cfrac{5}{2}\left( -\cfrac{3}{4}x^{-\frac{7}{4}} \right)
\\\\\\
 
\cfrac{dy}{dx}=-\cfrac{15}{8}\cdot x^{-\frac{7}{4}} 
\implies 
\cfrac{dy}{dx}=-\cfrac{15}{8}\cdot \cfrac{1}{x^{\frac{7}{4}} }
\\\\\\
$

$\bf
\cfrac{dy}{dx}=-\cfrac{15}{8x^{\frac{7}{4}}}\implies 
\cfrac{dy}{dx}=-\cfrac{15}{8\sqrt[4]{x^7}}\\\\\\ \cfrac{dy}{dx}=-\cfrac{15}{8x\sqrt[4]{x^3}}

Fill in the blanks below in order to justify whether or not the mapping shown

Fantom [35]

Let's start with the fact that this is a function. Each element of Set A is paired with exactly one element of Set B.

This makes Set A the set of inputs and Set B the set of outputs.

There are a lot of other boxes to pick from, so I'm not sure what else you'd need to pick to make your answer correct.
