Answer:

The probability is \frac{16}{43}

Step-by-step explanation:

The psychology class has 9 freshman male, 15 freshman females, 8 sophomore male and 12 sophomore female.

Total population constitution of the class=

17 males and 27 females and 44 students in total.

If on selecting on the first attempt, a male has been picked up then the number of males for the picking up in the second attempt has to decrease by one.

Also, the total number of students from which it has to be selected also decreases by 1, because one child has already been selected.

Therefore for Second Attempt, Total 43 students and 16 males.

Probability=\frac{No.OfFavorableOutcomes}{TotalNo.OfOutcomes}

Probability=\frac{16}{43}

F(x)=-4x^2+7x+6 how do you work this
Ainat [17]

There actually isn't anything to 'work'.  There's no question there.

The function simply describes the relationship between two numbers.

It says that whatever you pick for the first number, the second number is

    (-4 times the square of the first one) plus (7 times the first one) plus (6) .

Your teacher may have assigned you something to do with the function,
like draw the graph of it, or find its maximum value (2.9375), or find where
it crosses the x-axis (2.381 and -0.63) or the y-axis (6).

But we can't tell what you've been assigned to do with it.  The function alone,
just as you've posted it, isn't asking a question, and doesn't call for any work.

A ball is shot into the air using a brand new super-high-tech robotic arm to help baseball players practice catch fly balls.

Answer:

69 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

h(t)=-16t^{2}+64t+5

where

h(t) is the height of the ball

t is the time in seconds

we know that the given equation is a vertical parabola open downward

The vertex is the maximum

so

the y-coordinate of the vertex represent the maximum height of the ball

Convert the quadratic equation into vertex form

The equation in vertex form is equal to

y=(x-h)^{2}+k

where

(h,k) is the vertex of the parabola

h(t)=-16t^{2}+64t+5

h(t)-5=-16t^{2}+64t

h(t)-5=-16(t^{2}-4t)

h(t)-5-64=-16(t^{2}-4t+4)

h(t)-69=-16(t^{2}-4t+4)

h(t)-69=-16(t-2)^{2}

h(t)=-16(t-2)^{2}+69

the vertex is the point (2,69)

therefore

The maximum height is 69 ft
