Answer:

D. None of the choices are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

If B is the midpoint of AC, then that means that AB is congruent to BC. Because this is true, you can set 8x + 4 and 10x - 8 equal.

8x + 4 = 10x - 8

Now just solve for x. Subtract 8x from both sides and add 8 to both sides.

4 = 2x - 8

12 = 2x

Then divide by 2.

6 = x

Another way to do this problem is to set up the same equation, but instead of solving it, plug in answer choices A, B, and C independently of each other. Then simplify to see if those are right. You'll find out that none of them are.

If y varies inversely as x2 and y = 100 when

love history [14]

Ans: (c)

y = k/x^2

when y = 100, x = 1
100 = k/1^2
k = 100

when x = 2,
y = 100/2
= 50

(u/rachelmarrons already gave you the answer but here’s a step-by-step explanation in case you needed it haha)

A pizza stand offer both hand- tossed and pan pizza. customer can add any combination of the six available topping.

photoshop1234 [79]

The correct choice would be 128.

If there are 6 options and the person can pick any number of toppings, we need to know the number of subsets that can be formed with 6. That would be 2^6 or 64.

Since there is a pan or hand-tossed option, we need to multiply 64 by 2 to find the total.
64 x 2 = 128

HURRY IM DOING AN ALGEBRA TEST!?!!!

Kipish [7]

Answer:

True?

Step-by-step explanation:

I think its true but I'm not 100% sure so I would go with true. Try thinking of your past problems that you used and think about that maybe? But in then mean time, I would go with True

How are the two functions f(x) = 0.7(6)x and g(x) = 0.7(6)–x related to each other?

Harlamova29_29 [7]

The answer
f(x) = 0.7(6)x = f(x) = 0.7(6)^x, and g(x) = 0.7(6)–x= g(x) = 0.7(6)^-x=1/0.7(6)^x
so 
g(x) =1/0.7(6)^x=1 /f(x)

 the relationship between f and g are g(x) =1 /f(x) or g(x) . f(x) = 1

A company that produces fine crystal knows from experience that 13% of its goblets have cosmetic flaws and must be classified as

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

(a) The probability that only one goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets is 0.3888.

(b) The probability that at least two goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets is 0.1776.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = number of seconds in the batch.

The probability of the random variable X is, p = 0.31.

The random variable X follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n and p.

The probability mass function of X is:

$P(X=x)={n\choose x}p^{x}(1-p)^{n-x};\ x=0,1,2,3...$

(a)

Compute the probability that only one goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets as follows:

$P(X=1)={6\choose 1}0.13^{1}(1-0.13)^{6-1}\\=6\times 0.13\times 0.4984\\=0.3888$

Thus, the probability that only one goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets is 0.3888.

(b)

Compute the probability that at least two goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets as follows:

P (X ≥ 2) = 1 - P (X < 2)

$=1-{6\choose 0}0.13^{0}(1-0.13)^{6-0}-{6\choose 1}0.13^{1}(1-0.13)^{6-1}\\=1-0.4336+0.3888\\=0.1776$

Thus, the probability that at least two goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets is 0.1776.

(c)

If goblets are examined one by one then to find four that are not seconds we need to select either 4 goblets that are not seconds or 5 goblets including only 1 second.

P (4 not seconds) = P (X = 0; n = 4) + P (X = 1; n = 5)

$={4\choose 0}0.13^{0}(1-0.13)^{4-0}+{5\choose 1}0.13^{1}(1-0.13)^{5-1}\\=0.5729+0.3724\\=0.9453$

Thus, the probability that at most five must be selected to find four that are not seconds is 0.9453.
