Answer:

1024/59049, 1.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to do it would to be simply multiply 2/3 by itself 10 times

2/3 x 2/3 x 2/3 x 2/3 and so on

That would be a really long equation so instead we can use exponents to shorten it. We can simply just do 2^10/3^10

2^10=1024

3^10=59049

1024/59049, 1.7%

Answer:

1024/59049

Step-by-step explanation:

P( clear hurdle) = 2/3

There are 10 hurdles

P ( clear all hurdles) = P( clear hurdle) * P( clear hurdle)...... 10 times

                                 = 2/3 * 2/3 *....... 10 times

                                  = (2/3) ^ 10

                                  =1024/59049

Which of the following equations is non-linear?

D--because it has y^2 in the equation and to isolate y you have to take the square root, the graph is going to be curved rather than linear.

Please help me ASAP?!!

Answer:

(0,-5) and (-4,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equations are

\left \{ {{x^2+y^2=25} \atop {2x+y=-5}} \right.

Make y the subject in the second equation;

y=-2x-5

Substitute into the first equation;

x^2+(-2x-5)^2=25

Expand:

x^2+4x^2+20x+25=25

x^2+4x^2+20x+25-25=0

5x^2+20x=0

5x(x+4)=0

\Rightarrow x=0,x=-4

When x=0,

y=-2(0)-5=-5

This gives; (0,-5)

When x=-4

y=-2(-4)-5=3

This gives (-4,3)
