4 ÷ 2 = 2
2 ÷ 4 = 1/2
As we can see, the order in which the numbers are divided yielded different results.

Which statement is true about the graph of

Alekssandra [29.7K]

The answer is C it’s vertex is at (2,4) because a quadratic formula is suppose to look like y= a ( x - h )^2 + k and the vertex is (h,k) when you look back at Your question h=-2 and but Bc of the formula then it’ll be h=2 and then k=4 and that’s how you get the vertex from a quadratic formula. Hope this helps :)

A pair of fair dice is cast. Let Edenote the event that the number landing uppermost on the first die is a 1 and let Fdenote the

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

They are not independent

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

E = Occurrence of 1 on first die

F = Sum of the uppermost occurrence in both die is 5

Required

Are E and F independent

First, we need to list the sample space of a roll of a die

$Event\ 1 = \{1,2,3,4,5,6\}$

Next, we list out the sample space of F

$Event\ 2 = \{2,3,4,5,6,7,3,4,5,6,7,8,4,5,\$

$6,7,8,9,5,6,7,8,9,10,6,7,8,9,10,11,7,8,9,10,11,12\}$

In (1): the sample space of E is:

$E = \{1\}$

So:

$P(E) = \frac{n(E)}{n(Event\ 1)}$

$P(E) = \frac{1}{6}$

In (2): the sample space of F is:

$F = \{5,5,5,5\}$

So:

$P(F) = \frac{n(F)}{n(Event\ 2)}$

$P(F) =\frac{4}{36}$

$P(F) =\frac{1}{9}$

For E and F to be independent:

$P(E\ and\ F) = P(E) * P(F)$

Substitute values for P(E) and P(F)

This gives:

$P(E\ and\ F) = \frac{1}{6} * \frac{1}{9}$

$P(E\ and\ F) = \frac{1}{54}$

However, the actual value of P(E and F) is 0.

This is so because $E = \{1\}$ and $F = \{5,5,5,5\}$ have 0 common elements:

So:

$P(E\ and\ F) = 0$

Compare $P(E\ and\ F) = \frac{1}{54}$ and $P(E\ and\ F) = 0$ .

These values are not equal.

Hence: the two events are not independent

Find the perimeter of a rectangle with a length of 6x+3 and a width of -2x-5.

blsea [12.9K]

The simple way of calculating a perimeter is to add all of the sides.
For a rectangle this would equal 2 x length + 2 x width
P = 2(6x + 3) + 2(-2x - 5)
= 12x + 6 - 4x - 10
= 8x - 4

At a higher level both the length and width must be greater than zero (= zero is a trivial rectangle)
6x + 3 > 0
6x > -3
x > -0.5

-2x - 5 > 0
2x + 5 < 0 (multiplying by -1 reverses the inequality)
2x < -5
x < -2.5

This rectangle cannot exist as x cannot be < -2.5 and > -0.5 at the same time!

svp [43]

Answer:

so if she hike 12 km every 4 hours, how many km could she hike in 6 hours.

first u have to find the equation. 12 km=4hours

? =6hours

and then you have to multiply 12 km by 6 hours and divide the results by 4 which is 12×6÷4. the final answer will be 18 kilometers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sorry if its wrong
