In a school of 450 students, 110 of them are in the choir, 240 of them are in the band and 60 students are in the choir and the

band.
Find the probability that a student chosen at random is in the choir or the band or both

60 are in choir and band, which leaves 50 (110 - 60) in choir and not band, and 180 (240 - 60) in band and not choir, and the remaining 220 (450 - 50 - 180) students don't belong to either. So

P(\text{choir OR band})=P(\text{choir})+P(\text{band})-P(\text{choir AND band})

=\dfrac{50}{450}+\dfrac{180}{450}-\dfrac{60}{450}=\dfrac{170}{450}\approx0.38

If instead "110 of them are in choir" means 110 students are in choir and NOT in band, and "240 of them are in bad" means 240 students are in band and NOT choir, then

P(\text{choir OR band})=\dfrac{110}{450}+\dfrac{240}{450}-\dfrac{60}{450}=0.64

Hurrrryyyyy plllzzz. Determine the equation of the line that passes through the given points
pashok25 [27]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

y = 2

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

To determine the equation of the line that passes through (10,2) and (-3,2), we need to determine the slope of the line. Then substitute the slope and any given point in point slope form to obtain the equation of the line.

<h3>Finding the Slope of the line:</h3>

\implies \text{Slope} = \dfrac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}} = \dfrac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1}  }

\implies \text{Slope} = \dfrac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1}  }

<u>Substitute the coordinates of the given points:</u>

\implies \text{Slope} = \dfrac{2 - 2}{-3 - 10  }

<u>Simplify the equation to determine the slope:</u>

\implies \text{Slope} = \dfrac{0}{-3 - 10  }

∴ 0 divided by ANY number is ALWAYS 0.

\implies \text{Slope} =0

<h3>Finding the equation of the line:</h3>

Point slope form formula: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

  • x₁ and y₁ are the coordinates of any given point.
  • m is the slope

<u>Substitute the values in the point slope form:</u>

\implies \text{Equation of line:} \ y - y_{1}  = m(x - x_{1} )

\implies \text{Equation of line:} \ y - 2  = 0(x - 10)

<u>Simplify the equation to determine the equation of the line:</u>

∴ Any number multiplied by 0 is 0.

\implies \text{Equation of line:} \ y - 2  = 0

\implies \text{Equation of line:} \ y   = 0 + 2

\implies \text{Equation of line:} \ y   = 2

Thus, the equation of the line is y = 2.

In ¾ pound of a banana bread, there is ½ cup of cinnamon. How much cinnamon does the bread contain per pound?
Shkiper50 [21]

1 pound of bread contains \frac{2}{3} cups of cinnamon.

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that , In \frac{3}{4} pound of a banana bread, there is \frac{1}{2} cup of cinnamon

<em><u>To find:</u></em>

Amount of cinnamon per pound in bread

Let "n" be the cinnamon per pound present in bread

\frac{3}{4} pound of banana bread ⇒ \frac{1}{2} cup of cinnamon

Then, 1 pound of bread ⇒ n cups of cinnamon

Now, let us use criss cross method (i.e. multiplying the diagonal ordered terms and equating them)

\begin{array}{l}{\rightarrow n \times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{1}{2} \times 1} \\\\ {\rightarrow n \times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{1}{2}} \\\\ {\rightarrow n=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{4}{3}} \\\\ {\rightarrow n=\frac{2}{3}}\end{array}

Hence, 1 pound of bread contains \frac{2}{3} cups of cinnamon.

Let f(x)=3x+5 and g(x)=x^2 find (f-g)(x)
dlinn [17]

Answer:

(f - g)(x) = -x² + 3x + 5

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Equality Properties

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Function Notation
  • Combining Like Terms

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

f(x) = 3x + 5

g(x) = x²

(f - g)(x) is f(x) - g(x)

<u>Step 2: Find (f - g)(x)</u>

  1. Substitute:                   (f - g)(x) = 3x + 5 - x²
  2. Rewrite:                       (f - g)(x) = -x² + 3x + 5
