Answer: Using the proportions between the segments, the area of the triangles are:

1. Area of triangle ADC is 25 in^2.

2. Area of triangle BDC is 15 in^2.

3. Area of triangle CDE is 12 in^2.

To form 3 adjacent squares (as in the figure), 10 toothpicks are required. How many toothpicks are required to form 100 adjacent

Sonja [21]

Let's say in general you want "n" adjacent squares. Each one needs a top, so that's n toothpicks. Each one needs a bottom, so that's another n toothpicks, and we're up to 2n total. You need one on the far left, and one on the far right, which brings us up to 2n + 2 toothpicks. Now we need to worry about the middle ones. But notice that you don't need n toothpicks for the interior because adjacent squares share. It turns out that you only need n-1. That brings us up to a grand total of 3n + 1 toothpicks, which would be 301 for n = 100.

If the exponential parent function,

laila [671]

Answer: $f(x) =3^{-x}-4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Some transformations for a function f(x) are shown below:

If $f(x)+k$ , the function is translated up "k" units.

If $f(x)-k$ , the function is translated down "k" units.

If $-f(x)$ , the function is reflected across the x-axis.

If $f(-x)$ , the function is reflected across the y-axis.

Therefore, knowing those transformations and given the exponential parent function:

$f(x) = 3^x$

If it is reflected across the y-axis and the it is translated down 4 units, we can determine that the resulting function is:

$f(x) =3^{-x}-4$

The table gives the relative frequencies of recipes that contains sugar and salt, contain at least one of those ingredients, or

tigry1 [53]

Answer-

The probability that a randomly selected recipe does not contain sugar, given that it contains salt is 22.4%

Solution-

The given table in the link shows the relative frequencies of recipes that contains sugar and salt, or contains at least one of those ingredients, or contains neither of those ingredients.

We have to find the conditional probability that the recipe doesn't contain sugar, given that it contains salt.

We know that, the conditional probability of occurrence of A given that B occurs is,

$P(A|B)=\frac{P(A\ and\ B)}{P(B)} =\frac{P(A\bigcap B)}{P(B)}$

$P(\text{Doesn't contain sugar}\ |\ \text{Contains salt})=\frac{P(\text{Doesn't contain sugar}\ and\ \text{Contains salt})}{P(\text{Contains salt})}$

$P(\text{Doesn't contain sugar}\ and\ \text{Contains salt})=\frac{0.15}{1} =0.15\\P(\text{Contains salt})=\frac{0.67}{1}=0.67$

Putting these values,

$P(\text{Doesn't contain sugar}\ |\ \text{Contains salt})=\frac{0.15}{0.67} =0.224=22.4\%$
