<h3>Answer: -13</h3>

=======================================

Explanation:

g(-3) = 2 means x = -3 and y = 2 pair up together to form the point (-3,2)

g(1) = -4 means we have the point (1,-4)

Find the slope of the line through the two points (-3,2) and (1,-4)

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (-4-2)/(1-(-3))

m = (-4-2)/(1+3)

m = -6/4

m = -3/2

m = -1.5

The general slope intercept form y = mx+b turns into y = -1.5x+b after replacing m with -1.5

Plug in (x,y) = (-3,2) which is one of the points mentioned earlier and we end up with this new equation: 2 = -1.5*(-3) + b

Let's solve for b

2 = -1.5*(-3)+b

2 = 4.5 + b

2-4.5 = 4.5+b-4.5 .... subtract 4.5 from both sides

-2.5 = b

b = -2.5

Therefore, y = mx+b becomes y = -1.5x-2.5 meaning the g(x) function is g(x) = -1.5x-2.5

The last step is to plug in x = 7 and compute

g(x) = -1.5*x - 2.5

g(7) = -1.5*7 - 2.5

g(7) = -10.5 - 2.5

g(7) = -13

In circle A below, points B, C, and D lie on the circle, and mZBDC = 35".

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

arcBC = 140degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given digaram;

Angle at the center is twice angle at the circumference

Hence;

m<CAB = 2(m<CDB)

m<CAB = 2 * 35

m<CAB = 70degrees

Also;

m<CAB = 1/2 arcBC

70 = 1/2arcBC

arcBC = 70*2

arcBC = 140degrees

Can someone help me with this? Thanks!

Part (a)

There are 3 face cards (jack, queen, king) in any given suit. We have 4 suits. That gives 3*4 = 12 face cards total.

12/52 = 3/13 is the probability of getting a face card on any random selection. This probably does <u>not</u> change for any future selection because we put the current card back. In other words, the deck has not changed. Contrast this with part (b) where the probabilities will change since the card counts decrease each time (since we don't put the card back).

The probability of getting 3 face cards in a row, with replacement, is:

(3/13)*(3/13)*(3/13) = 0.012289 approximately

This converts to the percentage 1.2289% after moving the decimal point two spots to the right. This is the same as multiplying by 100.

Lastly, round that to one decimal place to get 1.2%

<h3>Answer: 1.2</h3>

The percent sign is already taken care of, so you'll just input the number only.

=============================================================

Part (b)

Like mentioned earlier, the probability of a face card is 12/52

I won't reduce that fraction, as you'll see why below.

After that first card is <u>not</u> put back, the 12 decreases to 12-1 = 11 and we have 52-1 = 51 cards left over.

11/51 is the probability of getting another face card, where we have no replacement going on.

Then 10/50 is the probability of getting a third face card. Again, with no replacement.

Therefore,

(12/52)*(11/51)*(10/50) = 0.009955

is the approximate probability of getting 3 face cards in a row with no replacement. Notice the count down 12,11,10 in the numerators. There's also the countdown 52, 51, 50 in the denominators. This nice pattern only happens if we don't reduce the reducible fractions. This is why I didn't reduce.

Anyways 0.009955 converts to 0.9955% which rounds to 1.0% or simply 1%

Answer:

1/9, 3, 27

(A / the first option listed)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are given an expression with an "x" in it, and we are to evaluate possible x values, which means we plug them in as the x in the expression

first,

x = -2

3ˣ → 3⁻²

when we raise something to a negative power, we simply find the positive version of that power, and put a 1 over it:

3² = 3 · 3 = 9

so, 3⁻² = $\frac{1}{9}$ (1/9)

next,

x = 1

3ˣ → 3¹

now, here we have something raised to the power of 1, which is always itself, so 3¹ = 3

(think of ^to the power of as how many times we multiply that number, so 3² = 3 · 3, 3¹ = 3)

and finally,

x = 3

3ˣ → 3³

here, we can multiply 3 by itself 3 times:

3 · 3 · 3 = 27

so, 3³ = 27

[<em>important note</em><em>: when we raise something to a power, we are </em><u><em>not</em></u><em> multiplying the base number by that number, but this is a common mistake. but the exponent is how many times we are multiplying that number, which is confusing at first}</em>

So, our answers in order are:

1/9, 3, 27 (the first option listed)

hope this helps! let me know if I should clarify anything :)
