Set up a system of equations:

y + 4 = 5(x + 4)
y = 9x

Where 'y' represents the mother's age and 'x' represents the daughter's age.

Plug in 9x for 'y' in the first equation:

y + 4 = 5(x + 4)

9x + 4 = 5(x + 4)

Distribute 5 into the parenthesis:

9x + 4 = 5x + 20

Subtract 5x to both sides:

4x + 4 = 20

Subtract 4 to both sides:

4x = 16

Divide 4 to both sides:

x = 4

Plug this into any of the two equations to find 'y':

y = 9x

y = 9(4)

Multiply:

y = 36

So at the present, the daughter is 4 years old and the mother is 36 years old.

4 mother will be 5 times as old as her daughter.
Mother= 9 times as old as the daughter.
4 times 5= 20 mother
9 times 5= 45
Mother=29
daughter=15

54% of U.S. adults have very little confidence in newspapers. You randomly select 10 U.S. adults. Find the probability
Degger [83]

Part B is not clear and the clear one is;

P(X ≥ 6)

Answer:

A) 0.238

B) 0.478

C) 0.114

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we will make use of binomial probability formula;

P(X = x) = nCx × p^(x)•(1 - p) ^(n - x)

A) 54% of U.S. adults have very little confidence in newspapers. Thus;

p = 0.54

10 random adults are selected. Thus;

P(X = 5) = 10C5 × 0.54^(5) × (1 - 0.54)^(10 - 5)

P(X = 5) = 0.238

B) P(X ≥ 6) = P(6) + P(7) + P(8) + P(9) + P(10)

From online binomial probability calculator, we have;

P(X ≥ 6) = 0.2331 + 0.1564 + 0.0688 + 0.01796 + 0.0021 = 0.47836 ≈ 0.478

C) P(x<4) = P(3) + P(2) + P(1) + P(0)

Again with online binomial probability calculations, we have;

P(x<4) = 0.1141 ≈ 0.114

I need help plz someone

Answer:

5C 6D

Step-by-step explanation:

5, a^2 = b^2 + c^2

6,

A is wrong because two distinct lines intersect at 1 point only or 0 (they will never intersect when they are parallel)

B & C are wrong because lines contain infinite point

E is wrong because 2 parallel lines will never intersect, as the result, their common points = 0

Which line(s) intersect the parabola y = x^2 − 3x + 4 at two points? Select all that apply. A. y = –3x + 2 B. y = –3x + 3 C. y =
TEA [102]

Answer:

C and D

Step-by-step explanation:

Equating the line A and the parabola, we get

-3x + 2 = x² - 3x + 4

0 = x² - 3x + 4 +3x - 2

0 = x² + 2

-2 = x²

which has no real solutions. Then, the line A and the parabola don't intersect each other.

Equating the line B and the parabola, we get

-3x + 3 = x² - 3x + 4

0 = x² - 3x + 4 + 3x - 3

0 = x² + 1

-1 = x²

which has no real solutions. Then, the line B and the parabola don't intersect each other.

Equating the line C and the parabola, we get

-3x + 5 = x² - 3x + 4

0 = x² - 3x + 4  + 3x - 5

0 = x² - 1

1 = x²

√1 = x

which has 2 solutions, x = 1 and x = -1. Then, the line C and the parabola intersect each other.

Equating the line D and the parabola, we get

-3x + 6 = x² - 3x + 4

0 = x² - 3x + 4  + 3x - 6

0 = x² - 2

2 = x²

√2 = x

which has 2 solutions, x ≈ 1.41 and x ≈ -1.41. Then, the line D and the parabola intersect each other.
