Write an algebraic rule to describe the translation c (5,-4) c'(-2,1)
Sauron [17]
We can solve this by using the formula:
(x, y) (x + a, y + b) = (5,-4) (-2,1)

So, plugging in the values and solving for a and b,
5 + a = -2
a = -8

-4 + b = 1
b = 5

Therefore, the translation is
(x,y) (x - 8, y +5)

Let f(x) = -4x + 7 and g(x) = 10x - 6. Find f(g(x)).
Triss [41]
f(x)=-4x+7\\&#10;g(x)=10x-6\\\\\Substitute\ x=10x-6\ to\ f(x)\\&#10;f(g(x))=-4(10x-6)+7\\&#10;f(g(x))=-40x+24+7=-40x+31\\\\\&#10;Solution\ is\ f(g(x))=-40x+31.

One stack has 6 cups, and its height is 15 cm. The other one has 12 cups, and its height is 23 cm. How many cups are needed for
Ronch [10]

Answer:

Given

Number of stacks = 2

Stack 1 = 6 cups; h1 = 15cm

Stack 2 = 12 cups; h2 = 23cm

Let's first find the average:

With an average of 4/3, to obtain the number of cups needed to obtain a height of 50m, we have:

50 / (4/3)

= 50 * 3/4

= 150/4

= 37.5

From the answer, we can see that the number of cups is not really proportional to the height of the stack, because the average of stack one and stack 2 are different.

Suppose the discrete random variable X has the probability distribution below:
Talja [164]

(a) P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.11 + 0.52 + 0.19 = 0.82

(b) P(X ≥ 1) = P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.52 + 0.19 + 0.12 + 0.06 = 0.89

(c) µ = 0×0.11 + 1×0.52 + 2×0.19 + 3×0.12 + 4×0.06 = 1.5

(d) σ² = (0²×0.11 + 1²×0.52 + 2²×0.19 + 3²×0.12 + 4²×0.06) - µ² = 1.07

σ = √(σ²) ≈ 1.03
