1. Where will the line y = -1/2 -3 cross the y-axis?

soldier1979 [14.2K]

1) The y- axis is where x = 0, so the line "y = -1/2x - 3" will cross the y-axis when x = 0. You plug in "x = 0" into the equation, and get y = 0 -3, so y = -3. That means the line " y = -1/2x - 3" will cross the y-axis ar (0, -3)

2) If there are 2 parallel lines, then there is no solution, because the definition of parallel lines is, " 2 lines in the same plane, that never meet." That makes the solution inconsistent.

Circle 1 is centered at (−4, 5) and has a radius of 2 centimeters. Circle 2 is centered at (2, 1) and has a radius of 6 centimet

IgorC [24]

Basically, you have two circles. You are asked to take circle 1 and "move it" so that it is on top of circle 2. This process of moving is called a translation and can be thought of as sliding. You do this by ensuring that the two have the same center. So, starting at (-4,5) how do you have to move to end up at (2,1)?

To do this we need to move right 6 as the x-coordinate goes from -4 to 2. We also need to move down 4 as the y-coordinate goes from 5 to 1. So we add 6 to the x-coordinate and subtract 4 from the y-coordinate. The transformation rule is (x+6, y-4).

Once you do this the circles have the same center. Next you wish to dilate circle 1 so it ends up being the same size at circle 2. That means you stretch it out in such a way that it keeps its shape. Circle 1 has a radius of 2 centimeters and circle 2 has a radius of 6 centimeters. That is 3x bigger. So we dilate by a factor of 3.

Translations and dilations (along with reflections and rotations) belong to a group known as transformations.

b. Sixty-five pounds of candy was divided into four different boxes. The second box contained twice the amount of the first box.

Ainat [17]

First box = 14 pounds

Second box = 2x = 28 pounds

Third Box = x+2= 16 pounds

Fourth box = x/2 = 7 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have , Sixty-five pounds of candy was divided into four different boxes. The second box contained twice the amount of the first box. The third box contained two more pounds than the first box. The last box contained one-fourth the amount in the second box. We need to find How much candy was in each box. Let's find out:

We have a total of 65 pounds of candy ! Let in first box we have x pounds so , second box contained twice the amount of the first box i.e.

⇒ $2x$

The third box contained two more pounds than the first box i.e.

⇒ $x+2$

The last box contained one-fourth the amount in the second box i.e.

⇒ $(\frac{1}{4})2x = \frac{x}{4}$

Therefore , Sum of pounds of candy are :

⇒ $\frac{x}{2} +x+2+2x+x=65$

⇒ $\frac{x}{2} +4x=63$

⇒ $\frac{9x}{2}=63$

⇒ $x=63(\frac{2}{9} )$

⇒ $x=14$

Therefore , Candy in each box is :

First box = 14 pounds

Second box = 2x = 28 pounds

Third Box = x+2= 16 pounds

Fourth box = x/2 = 7 pounds

Urn 1 contains 3 blue tokens and 2 red tokens; urn 2 contains 2 blue tokens and 4 red tokens. All tokens are indistinguishable.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

RR = 0.4

RB = 0.3

BB = 0.22

BR = 0.30

Step-by-step explanation:

P( Urn 1 ) = 2/6 = 1/3

P( Urn 2 ) = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3

Urn 1 contains : 3 blue and 2 red

P( blue | urn 1 ) = 3/5 ( with replacement ) , P( blue | urn 1 ) = 3/4 ( without replacement )

P( red | urn 1 ) = 2 / 5 ( with replacement ) , P(red | urn 1 ) = 1/2 ( without replacement )

Urn 2 contains : 2 blue and 4 red

P ( blue | urn 2 ) = 1/3 ( with replacement ) , P( blue | urn 2 ) = 2/5 ( without replacement )

P ( red | urn 2 ) = 2/3 ( with replacement) , P( red | urn 2 ) = 4/5 ( without replacement )

Determine

i) Possible outcomes when two tokens are drawn from either Urn without replacement

RR = [[ ( 2/5 * 1/3 ) + ( 2/3 * 2/3 ) ] * [( 1/2 * 1/3 ) + ( 4/5 * 2/3 ) ]] = 0.4

RB = [[ (2/5 * 1/3 ) + ( 2/3 * 2/3 ) ] * [ ( 3/4 *1/3 ) + ( 2/5 * 2/3 ) ]] ≈ 0.3

BB = [[ ( 3/5 * 1/3 ) + ( 1/3 * 2/3 ) ] * [ ( 3/4 *1/3 ) + ( 2/5 * 2/3 ) ]] ≈ 0.22

BR = [[ ( 3/5 * 1/3 ) + ( 1/3 * 2/3 ) ] * [ ( 1/2 * 1/3 ) + ( 4/5 * 2/3 ) ]] ≈ 0.30
