Answer: a) $\dfrac{1}{3}$ b) $\dfrac{71}{100}$ c) $\dfrac{5}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

There are green and yellow candies in each bag.

Bag A: Two thirds of the candies are yellow. What portion of the candies is green?

Part of yellow candies in bag A = $\dfrac{2}{3}$

Part of green candies in bag A would be

$1-\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{3-2}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{3}$

Bag B: 29 % of the candies are yellow. What portion of the candies is green?

Percentage of candies are yellow = 29%

Portion of candies are green is given by

$1-\dfrac{29}{100}\\\\=1-0.29\\\\=0.71\\\\=\dfrac{71}{100}$

Bag C: 4 out of every 9 candies are yellow. What portion of the candies is green?

Portion of yellow candies = $\dfrac{4}{9}$

Portion of green candies would be

$1-\dfrac{4}{9}\\\\=\dfrac{9-4}{9}\\\\=\dfrac{5}{9}$

Hence, a) $\dfrac{1}{3}$ b) $\dfrac{71}{100}$ c) $\dfrac{5}{9}$

We are going to need to know the formula for the lateral surface area and volume of a cylinder in order to find our answers. Below are the equations:

$A_L = 2 \pi r h$

$V = \pi r^2 h$

$h$ is the height
$r$ is the radius

Using these formulas, we can solve these problems.

$A_L = 2 (3.14)(48.9) (84.3) \approx \boxed{25887.856}$

$V = (3.14) (48.9)^2 (84.3) \approx \boxed{632958.069}$

What does the transformation f(x) --> -f(x) do to the graph of f(x)

mixer [17]

Answer: D) Reflect over x-axis

=======================================================

Explanation:

When we do this type of reflection, a point like (1,2) moves to (1,-2).

As another example, something like (5,-7) moves to (5,7)

The x coordinate stays the same but the y coordinate flips in sign from positive to negative, or vice versa.

We can say that $(x,y) \to (x,-y)$ as a general way to represent the transformation. Note how y = f(x), so when we make f(x) negative, then we're really making y negative.

If we apply this transformation to every point on f(x), then it will flip the f(x) curve over the horizontal x axis.

There's an example below in the graph. The point A(2,8) moves to B(2,-8) after applying that reflection rule.
