Answer as a fraction = 1/18

Answer in decimal form (approximate) = 0.0556

Answer in percent form (approximate) = 5.56%

========================================================

Explanation:

We have 6*6 = 36 ways to roll out two dice. I recommend making a chart to show all the possible outcomes. You can search online for a "dice chart" or "sum of dice chart" and one will be made for you. The chart is a handy reference to see all the outcomes.

Of those 36 total outcomes, only 2 outcomes have the dice add to 3. Those two outcomes are 1+2 and 2+1.

So the number of events we want is 2 out of 36 total, meaning 2/36 = 1/18 is the probability.

Using your calculator, you should find that 1/18 = 0.0556 approximately, which converts over to 5.56% roughly.

Ivahew [28]
3 periods, 20 minutes each

20 * 3 = 60 minutes

12 minutes per period

12 * 3 = 36

So the ratio is 36:60, or simplified: 3:5

Write an EQUATION with an undefined slope:
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

Example of an equation with an undefined slope: x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>Definitions</h2>

The standard form of linear equations with an <u>undefined slope</u> is <em>x</em> = <em>a</em>, whose graph represents a vertical line. The value of a in the standard form is the x-intercept, (<em>a</em>, 0).  

The slope is the ratio of the vertical change in y-values to the horizontal change in x-values.

\displaystyle\mathsf{Slope(m) =\:\frac{\triangle y}{\triangle x}\:=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}}

The slope of a vertical line is undefined because if we were to solve its slope, the denominator will be zero. As we know, division by zero is an undefined operation.  

<h2>Example:</h2>

For example, suppose that we have the following points (2, 5) (2, 10).

Let (x₁, y₁) = (2, 5)

     (x₂, y₂) = (2, 10)

Substitute these values into the slope formula:

\displaystyle\mathsf{Slope(m) =\:\frac{\triangle y}{\triangle x}\:=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\:=\:\frac{10\:-\:5}{2\:-\:2}\:=\frac{5}{0}}

Dividing the numerator, 5, by the denominator, 0, will have an undefined quotient.

Thus, the equation of the <u>vertical line</u> will be: x = 2, where <em>a</em> = 2.

In 2014 the population of 1500 quail decreases at an annual rate of 3%. In writing an exponential function to model the quail po
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

a = 1500

b = 0.97

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define 2014 as our t = 0.

Then t = 1 will be 2015, and so on.

We know that in 2014 the population was 1500.

It decreases at an annual rate of 3% or 0.03 in decimal form.

Then in 2015, the population was: 1500 - 1500*0.03 = 1500*(0.97)

In 2016, the population was: 1500*(0.97) - 1500*(0.97)*0.03 = 1500*(0.97)^2

We already can see the pattern.

t years after 2014, the population will be:

f(t) = 1500*(0.97)^t

Now, answering the question:

using f(t)=a(b)^t what is the value of a and b?

a = 1500

b = 0.97
