49% because there's 98% that the test is right BUT you only have 0.5% chance to actually have it, so 98×0.5=49

Can someone pls explain this?
ryzh [129]

Answer:

A piecewise function.

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem you showed is a <em>piecewise function.</em>

In this problem, you have to plug in 3 for the value x.

However, if you take a look at the conditions that value x has, it never says that x can equal 3. <em>Thus, this function cannot be true.</em>

<em>Way to check this input is undefined: </em>

Plug in 3 for the variable x. On the first function, your output will be 4. On the second function, your output will be 8.

According to the definition of a function, a function can have many inputs but only one output. In this case, this function has one input, that is 3, but produces two outputs.

Which of the following is the equation of a line perpendicular to the line Y=-1/3x+1, passing through the point (2,7)?
zimovet [89]
Y= 3X + 1. Perpendicular means you would change the slope by flipping it and changing the sign. So the slope then becomes 3. Then you use your points to find the y-intercept by filling in the variables. 7=3(2) + B. 7=6 + B. Then subtract 6 from both sides. B=1. Then you just put your problem back into slope intercept form with your new slope and y-intercept. Y=3x + 1.

Ricky rides his bike 12 miles every day he stops 7 miles to rest write and solve an equation to find out how much further he has
kondor19780726 [428]
<h3><u>Question:</u></h3>

Ricky rides his bike 12 miles every day. He stops after 7 miles to rest. write and solve an equation to find out how much further he has to ride

<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

Ricky has to further ride for 5 miles

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

Given that, Ricky rides his bike 12 miles every day

Let "x" be the remaining distance in miles he has to ride further

Total distance = 12 miles

Also, given that he stops after 7 miles to rest

Therefore, already covered distance = 7 miles

Therefore, we can frame a equation as,

remaining distance + already covered distance = total distance

x + 7 = 12

Solve the above equation for "x"

x = 12 - 7

x = 5

Thus Ricky has to further ride for 5 miles
