1 pencil and 4 pens = 5 total

Picking the pencil would be 1/5 ( 1 pencil out of 5 total items)

5 color pencils  + 5 crayons = 10 total items.

Picking a color pencil would be 5/10 which reduces to 1/2

To find the probability of both happening, multiply them together:

1/5 x 1/2 = 1/10

The probability is 1/10

Answer:

a=567 km+900 km

a=1,467 km

b=567 km+169 km

b=736 km

x^2/a^2+y^2/b^2=1

x^2/(1,467)^2+y^2/(736)^2=1

Table:

y = x²

can also be written as: f(x) = x²

Plug in each x value and calculate the output:

f(-4) = (-4)² = 16

f(-3) = (-3)² = 9

f(-2) = 4

f(-1) = 1

f(-\frac{1}{2}) = \frac{1}{4}

f(0) = 0

f(\frac{1}{2}) = \frac{1}{4}

f(1) = 1

f(2) = 4

f(3) = 9

f(4) = 16

Suppose you start with a full tank of gas (14 gallons) in your truck. After driving 4 hours, you now have 2
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

  a) -3 gallons per hour

  b) y = -3x +14

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of change is computed by dividing the amount of change by the interval over which it occurred.

<h3>a)</h3>

Here the amount of gas decreased from 14 to 2 gallons, so a decrease of 14-2 = 12 gallons. That occurred over a 4-hour period, so the rate of change is (-12 gallons)/(4 hours) = -3 gallons/hour.

__

<h3>b)</h3>

The initial amount was 14 gallons, so the equation for the line describing remaining gas will be ...

  y = -3x +14 . . . . gas in the tank after x hours
