Use the formula for the probability of the complement of an event. A coin is flipped 4 times. What is the probability of getting

raketka [301]

Answer: 15/16

Step-by-step explanation:

There will be 16 outcomes for 4 coins=2^4

Probability of only head is : P(C)=1/16

P(C) + P(C') = 1

P(C') = 1 - P(C)

P(C') = 1 - 1/16

Take the l.c.m

P(C') = (16-1) / 16

P(C') = 15/16

So the probability of getting at least 1 tail is 15/16

Three classes of school children are selling tickets to the school play. The number of tickets sold by these classes, and the nu

Westkost [7]

Answer:

The expression for the average number of tickets sold per school child is:

$M = \frac{tickets*class1 + tickets2*class2 + tickets3*class3}{class1 + class2 + class3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The average number of tickets sold per school child is the weighted mean calculus between the number of tickets sold by these classes and the number of children in each classes.

This is the multiplication between the number of tickets sold by these classes and the number of children in each classes divided by the total weight(in this exercise, the total weight is the total number of school child).

So, the expression for the average number of tickets sold per school child is:

$M = \frac{tickets*class1 + tickets2*class2 + tickets3*class3}{class1 + class2 + class3}$

Part 4: Identify the vertex, focus and directrix of each. Then sketch the graph.

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer: 1) Vertex: (6, -2) Focus: (6, -7/4) Directrix: y = -9/4

2) Vertex: (-2, -1) Focus: (-7/4, -1) Directrix: x = -9/4

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Rewrite the equation in vertex format y = a(x - h)² + k or x = a(y - k)² + h by completing the square. Divide the b-value by 2 and square it - add that value to both sides of the equation.

(h, k) is the vertex
p is the distance from the vertex to the focus
-p is the distance from the vertex to the directrix

$\bullet\quad a=\dfrac{1}{4p}$

1) y = x² - 12x + 34

$y-34=x^2-12x\\\\y-34+\bigg(\dfrac{-12}{2}\bigg)^2=x^2-12x+\bigg(\dfrac{-12}{2}\bigg)^2\\\\\\y-34+36=(x-6)^2\\\\y+2=(x-6)^2\\\\y=(x-6)^2-2\qquad \rightarrow \qquad a=1\quad (h,k)=(6,-2)\\$

$a=\dfrac{1}{4p}\quad \rightarrow \quad 1=\dfrac{1}{4p}\quad \rightarrow \quad p=\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\\\\text{Focus = Vertex + p}\\.\qquad \quad =\dfrac{-8}{4}+\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\.\qquad \quad =-\dfrac{7}{4}\quad \rightarrow \quad\text{Focus}=\bigg(6,-\dfrac{7}{4}\bigg)\\\\\\\text{Directrix: y= Vertex - p}\\.\qquad \qquad y=\dfrac{-8}{4}-\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\.\qquad \qquad y=-\dfrac{9}{4}$

*******************************************************************************************

2) x = y² + 2y - 1

$x+1=y^2+2y\\\\x+1+\bigg(\dfrac{2}{2}\bigg)^2=y^2+2y+\bigg(\dfrac{2}{2}\bigg)^2\\\\\\x+1+1=(y+1)^2\\\\x+2=(y+1)^2\\\\x=(y+1)^2-2\qquad \rightarrow \qquad a=1\quad (h,k)=(-2,-1)\\$

$a=\dfrac{1}{4p}\quad \rightarrow \quad 1=\dfrac{1}{4p}\quad \rightarrow \quad p=\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\\\\text{Focus = Vertex + p}\\.\qquad \quad =\dfrac{-8}{4}+\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\.\qquad \quad =-\dfrac{7}{4}\quad \rightarrow \quad\text{Focus}=\bigg(-\dfrac{7}{4},-1\bigg)\\\\\\\text{Directrix: x= Vertex - p}\\.\qquad \qquad y=\dfrac{-8}{4}-\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\.\qquad \qquad x=-\dfrac{9}{4}$

What is the value of x?

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

x = 30°.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the value of 'x', we can first derive the value of one of the angles that make up the triangle.

Notice that there is an angle with a measure of 100°. The angle that makes up the angle of the triangle is called a Vertical Angle. Therefore, if the angle in red is 100°, the vertical angle, or the third angle of the triangle, is 100°.

There are two congruent sides to the triangle, as seen by the congruent lines. This means that both of the other two angles must be equal. Find the value of 'x' by:

180 - 100 = 80. Since the value of one angle was 100°, and the angles in a triangle must add up to 180°, you can simply subtract to find the sum of the other two angles.

(x + 10) + (x + 10) = 80

2x + 20 = 80

2x = 60

x = 30°.
