Answer:

$\frac{4}{16}=\frac{1}{4}=0.25=25\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of coins in the bag = 5 + 4 + 5 + 2 = 16 coins

Number of nickels in the bag = 4

We have to find the probability that Marissa draws a nickels from the bag.

Probability is defined as the ratio of Number of "Favorable Outcomes" to "Total number of possible outcomes"

In this case total number of possible outcomes is the total number of coins which is 16.

Favorable/Desires outcome is drawing a Nickle from the bag which are 4 in number. So, number of favorable outcomes is 4

Therefore, the probability that she will draw a nickel = $\frac{4}{16}=\frac{1}{4}=0.25=25\%$

Use lagrange multiplier techniques to find the local extreme values of f(x, y) = x2 − y2 − 2 subject to the constraint x2 + y2 =

dexar [7]

Given $f(x,\ y)=x^2-y^2-2$ subject to the constraint $x^2+y^2=16$

Let $g(x,\ y)=x^2+y^2$ .

The gradient vectors of $f$ and $g$ are:

$\nabla f(x,\ y)=\langle2x,-2y\rangle$ and $\nabla g(x,\ y)=\langle2x,2y\rangle$

By Lagrange's theorem, there is a number $\lambda$ , such that

$\langle2x,-2y\rangle=\lambda\langle2x,2y\rangle=\langle2\lambda x,2\lambda y\rangle$

$\lambda=\pm1$

It can be seen that $f(x,\ y)=x^2-y^2-2$ has local extreme values at the given region.

A vegetable garden is 12 meters long by 7 meters wide. In one square meter, you count two toads. Estimate the population of toad

zavuch27 [327]

Answer: 168 toads

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the area of the garden. Area = length x width

Area = 12m x 7m = 84 m²

2 toads/ 1 sq m

84(2) = 168

Sophia is dilating a figure. One of her pre-image points with coordinates (-3, 5) has an image with coordinates (-9, 15). If one

Galina-37 [17]

The dilation factor Sophia is using appears to be
(image coordinate)/(original coordinate) = -9/-3 = 15/5 = 3

Then the problem tells us
(pre-image point)×3 = (3, 1)
so we conclude
(pre-image point) = (3, 1)/3 = (1, 1/3)
