Answer:

option a)

0.286

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

number of red pens in cup = 5

number of black pens in cup = 10

number of pen randomly selected = 3

There are 5 red pens and 10 black pens. So there are 5 + 10 = 15 pens in all.

probability of having all red pens = (5/15 x 4/14 x 3/13)

                                                       = 2/91

probability of having all black pens = (10/15 x 9/14 x 8/13)

                                                           = 24/91

probability that all pen are of same colour = 24/91 + 2/91

                                                                      =  2/7

                                                                      ≈ 0.286

Can someone help?????

Answer:

JL = 56

NK = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Since JL  = MK

5x + 1 = 8x - 32

8x - 5x = 32 + 1

3x = 33

x = 11

so

JL = 5x + 1 = 5(11) + 1 = 55 + 1 = 56

NK = 1/2MK = 1/2JL = 56/2 = 28

NO LINKS!! Explain your answers (show the support by showing the changes in x and y on your table). If the relationship is linea
sdas [7]

Answer:

<u>Linear relationship</u>: increasing or decreasing one variable will cause a corresponding increase or decrease in the other variable.

<u>Inverse relationship</u>:  the value of one variable decreases as the value of the other variable increases.

<u>Exponential relationship</u>: a constant change in the independent variable (x) gives the same proportional change in the dependent variable (y)

<u>Question 5</u>

As the x-value increases (by one unit), the y-value decreases.

Therefore, this is an inverse relationship.

The y-values are calculated by dividing 35 by the x-value.

\sf y=\dfrac{35}{x}

**I believe there is a typing error in the table and that the y-value of x = 3 should be 11.67**

<u>Question 6</u>

As the x-value increases, the y-value increases.  The y-value increases by a factor of 5 for each x-value increase of 1 unit.

Therefore, this is an exponential relationship.

\sf y=5^x

A right triangle has side lengths 7, 24, and 25 as shown below.
Alla [95]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • tan(A) = 7/24
  • sin(A) = 7/25
  • cos(A) = 24/25

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA can help you remember the trig ratios:

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

With respect to angle A, the sides are Adjacent = 24; Opposite = 7, Hypotenuse = 25. Then the desired trig ratios are ...

  tan(A) = 7/24

  sin(A) = 7/25

  cos(A) = 24/25
