1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

  • According to the question, the right combination of 2 wires cut (out of the 4 wires ) will defuse the bomb. To find all the possible combinations we using the following formulae;

nCr = n! / r! * (n - r)!

⁴₂C = 4! / 2! * (4-2)!

⁴₂C = 24 / 2 * 2

⁴₂C = 6

  • There are a possible 6 combinations
  • Therefore for probability of cutting the right combination of 2 wires is 1/6

Write a function to represent the set of ordered pairs.
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

Option C   f (x) = x^ 2 - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the relation describing the set of ordered pairs does not change at a costing rate

y_2 -y_1 = 7-2 = 5\\\\y_3 -y_2 = 14- 7 = 7\\\\y_4 - y_3 = 23- 14 = 9

Therefore the relationship is not linear.

However, the exchange rate y_n- y_{n-1} increases by a factor of 2 units when n increases 1 unit. This allows us to conclude that the relationship is quadratic

Note that the following ordered pairs belong to the function

y = x ^ 2

A = {(2, 4), (3, 9), (4, 16), (5, 25)}

The set of ordered pairs that we have is:

B = {(2, 2), (3, 7), (4, 16), (5, 23)}

Note that there is a similarity between both sets of ordered pairs.

In set B the values of y are always 2 units less than the values in y of the set A.

Then we deduce that since the function that models the set A is y = x ^ 2 then the function that contains the ordered pairs of the B set is:

y = x ^ 2 -2

The correct option is option C) f (x) = x^ 2 - 2
