Solve and simplify:
$3 \times 3 - (( - 1) ^{2} - 2) ^{2}$
$3 \times 3 - (1 - 2) ^{2}$
$3 \times 3 - ( - 1)^{2}$
$3 \times 3 - (1)$
$3 \times 3 - 1$
$9 - 1$
$8$

Hope this helped :)

What is the equation of the graphed line written in

Andrew [12]

Given:

Given that the graph of the linear equation.

We need to determine the equation of the graph.

Slope:

The slope of the equation can be determined using the formula,

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Let us substitute the coordinates (2,0) and (0,-4) in the above formula, we get;

$m=\frac{-4-0}{0-2}$

$m=\frac{-4}{-2}$

$m=2$

Thus, the slope of the equation is 2.

y - intercept:

The y - intercept of the equation is the value of y when x = 0.

Hence, from the graph, it is obvious that when x = 0, the value of y is -4.

Therefore, the value of the y - intercept is b = -4.

Equation of the line:

The equation of the line can be determined using the formula,

$y=mx+b$

Substituting the values, we have;

$y=2x-4$

Subtracting both sides by 2x, we have;

$-2x+y=-4$

Dividing both sides by -1, we get;

$2x-y=4$

Thus, the equation of the line is $2x-y=4$

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.

Simone invests 1200 into two savings accounts. One account earns 4% annual interest and the other earns 5.9% annual interest. At

Allisa [31]

Answer: He invested $350 at 4% and $850 at 5.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount which he invested in the account earning 4% interest.

Let y represent the amount which he invested in the account earning 5.9% interest.

Simone invests 1200 into two savings accounts. One account earns 4% annual interest and the other earns 5.9% annual interest. This means that

x + y = 1200

The formula for determining simple interest is expressed as

I = PRT/100

Considering the account earning 4% interest,

P = $x

T = 1 year

R = 4℅

I = (x × 4 × 1)/100 = 0.04x

Considering the account earning 5.9% interest,

P = $y

T = 1 year

R = 5.9℅

I = (y × 5.9 × 1)/100 = 0.059y

At the end of 1 year, Simon earned 64.15 in interest. it means that

0.04x + 0.059y = 64.15 - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 1200 - y into equation 1, it becomes

0.04(1200 - y) + 0.059y = 64.15

48 - 0.04y + 0.059y = 64.15

- 0.04y + 0.059y = 64.15 - 48

0.019y = 16.15

y = 16.15/0.019

y = 850

x = 1200 - y = 1200 - 850

x = 350

Tara has two standard, six-sided dice. If she rolls them 36 times, how many times should she expect a sum less than 5 to show up

andreyandreev [35.5K]

There are six sides on each die. For each possible score on Die 1, there are six possible scores on Die 2. So the number of possible combinations is 6*6 = 36.
It follows that if the dice are thrown 36 times, you would expect each combination to come up once. 

We therefore simply need to know how many combinations add up to less than 5. (I've interpreted this as not including a total of 5 itself). 
These combinations are: 1 and 1, 2 and 1, 1 and 2, 2 and 2, 3 and 1, and 1 and 3 ---> six combinations out of 36. 

So you'd expect a sum less than 5 six times.
