Evaluate: 8 - 9+(-2)

1 answer:

5 0

Evaluate : 8 - 9 + (-2)

8-9= -1 (because if you take away 9 from 8, you will end up with a negative number since there isn’t enough to take away.)

-1 + -2 = -3 (this is because when you are adding two negative numbers together, you will basically just add -1 and -2 as you would normally, then you would transfer the negative sign as well to make it -3)

Finally, your answer to this question is -3.

Answer:

For the question on the right, I assume b is the exponential factor, or growth factor.

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear:

$Y=aX + b\\(X, Y) = (0, 15) => b = 15\\(X,Y) = (1, 12) => a = -3\\Y = -3X + 15$

You can find the equation by using two points and the equation for a line.

Exponential:

$Y = a^{bX+c}\\(X, Y) = (0, 81) => a^{c} = 81 => a^{c} = 3^{4} => a=3, c=4\\(X, Y) = (1, 27) => a^{b+c} = 27 => a^{b}a^{c} = 27 => a^{b} = \frac{27}{81} = \frac{1}{3} => b=-1\\Y = 3^{-X+4}$

On a multiple-choice test. Abby randomly guesses on all seven questions. Each question

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

0.173 probability that she gets exactly three questions correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each question, there are only two possible outcomes. Either she guesses the correct answer, or she does not. The probability of guessing the correct answer for a question is independent of other questions. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
