Answer: NO

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define some of the vocabulary words so we can understand what is being asked.

trinomial: 3 terms → each term is separated by a plus or minus sign

Example: 5x² + 3x + 2

monomial: 1 term → no plus or minus sign exists in the term.

Example: 5x²

degree: the largest exponent → it can be in any of the terms.

Example: 5x² has a degree of 2

It is possible that a monomial has an exponent greater than that of a trinomial so the answer is NO!

trinomial: 5x² + 3x + 2 has a degree of 2

monomial: 5x⁴ has a degree of 4

A recent study suggested that 70% of all eligible voters will vote in the next presidential election. Suppose 20 eligible voters

natita [175]

Answer:

0.0479 = 4.79% probability that fewer than 11 of them will vote

Step-by-step explanation:

For each voter, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they will vote, or they will not. The probability of a voter voting is independent of any other voter, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

70% of all eligible voters will vote in the next presidential election.

This means that $p = 0.7$

20 eligible voters were randomly selected from the population of all eligible voters.

This means that $n = 20$

What is the probability that fewer than 11 of them will vote?

This is:

$P(X < 11) = P(X = 10) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 0)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 10) = C_{20,10}.(0.7)^{10}.(0.3)^{10} = 0.0308$

$P(X = 9) = C_{20,9}.(0.7)^{9}.(0.3)^{11} = 0.0120$

$P(X = 8) = C_{20,8}.(0.7)^{8}.(0.3)^{12} = 0.0039$

$P(X = 7) = C_{20,7}.(0.7)^{7}.(0.3)^{13} = 0.0010$

$P(X = 6) = C_{20,10}.(0.7)^{6}.(0.3)^{12} = 0.0002$

$P(X = 5) = C_{20,5}.(0.7)^{5}.(0.3)^{15} \approx 0$

The probability of 5 or less voting is very close to 0, so they will not affect the outcome. Then

$P(X < 11) = P(X = 10) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 0) = 0.0308 + 0.0120 + 0.0039 + 0.0010 + 0.0002 = 0.0479$

0.0479 = 4.79% probability that fewer than 11 of them will vote

Graph a triangle (STU) and reflect it over the y-axis to create triangle ST'U'.

lukranit [14]

The x-coordinates of $\triangle S'T'U'$ will be the negation of the x-coordinates of $\triangle STU$

The line segment from S to the y-axis equals the line segment from S' to the y-axis. Similarly, the line segment from T to the y-axis equals the line segment from T' to the y-axis

See attachment for $\triangle STU$ and $\triangle S'T'U'$

In order to solve this question, I will make the following assumptions.

Assume that the coordinates of $\triangle STU$ are

$S = (4,5)$
