Answer: Probability of getting red both times is $\frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

A spinner is half red and half blue.

Probability of getting red is given by

$\frac{1}{2}$

Probability of getting blue is given by

$\frac{1}{2}$

Since he spins the spinner twice.

Probability that you will get red both times is given by

$\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{2}\\\\=\frac{1}{4}$

Hence, Probability of getting red both times is $\frac{1}{4}$

Find an equation of the line through (2,6) and parallel to y=2x+3

Setler [38]

Step-by-step explanation:

We first Find the Slope of the line y=2x+3

The Slope Intercept Form of the equation of a given line is:

y=mx+c

where m is the Slope of that line, and c is the Y intercept.

For this line, the Slope is 2

So the Slope of the line PARALLEL to y=2x+3 will also be 2. And we are given that it passes through the point (2,6)

The Point-Slope form of the Equation of a Straight Line is:

(y−k)=m⋅(x−h)

m is the Slope of the Line

(h,k) are the co-ordinates of any point on that Line.

Here, we have been given the coordinates (h,k) of 1 point on that line as (2,6)

And the Slope m is 2

Substituting the values of h,k and m in the Point-Slope form, we get

(y−2)=(2)⋅(x−6)

(y−2)=2⋅(x-6)

y−2=2x -12

y=2x -12 +2

y=2x-10

The graph will look like

N76 [4]

Answer:

y = 2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

first find slops

(9-5)/(6-4) = 4/2 = 2 = m

y = mx + b

5 = 2(2) + b

1 = b

y = 2x + 1

Cherie is jogging around a circular track. She

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Measure of minor angle JOG is $95.5^{\circ}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider a circular track of radius 120 yards. Assume that Cherie starts from point J and runs 200 yards up to point G.

$\therefore m JG = 200 yards, JO=120 yards$ .

Now the measure of minor arc is same as measure of central angle. Therefore minor angle is the central angle $\angle JOG = \theta$ .

To calculate the central angle, use the arc length formula as follows.

$Arc\:Length\left(s\right) = r\:\theta$

Where $\theta$ is measured in radian.

Substituting the value,

$200=120\:\theta$

Dividing both side by 120,

$\dfrac{200}{120}=\theta$

Reducing the fraction into lowest form by dividing numerator and denominator by 40.

$\therefore \dfrac{5}{3}=\theta$

Therefore value of central angle is $\angle JOG = \theta=\left(\dfrac{5}{3}\right)^{c}$ , since angle is in radian

Now convert radian into degree by using following formula,

$1^{c}=\left(\dfrac{180}{\pi}\right)^{\circ}$

So multiplying $\theta$ with $\left(\dfrac{180}{\pi}\right)^{\circ}$ to convert it into degree.

$\left(\dfrac{5}{3}\right)^{c}=\left(\dfrac{5}{3}\right) \times \left(\dfrac{180}{\pi}\right)^{\circ}$

Simplifying,

$\therefore \theta = 95.49^{circ}$

So to nearest tenth, $\angle JOG=95.5^{circ}$

8. Find all the real fourth roots of 256

mezya [45]

X^4=256
x^4-256=0
(x^2)^2-(16)^2=0
(x^2+16)(x^2-16)=0
either x^2+16=0
it gives complex roots.
or x^2-16=0
or x^2-4^2=0
(x+4)(x-4)=0
either x+4=0,x=-4
or x-4=0
x=4
