Determine the two numbers between √2

If triangle CDE is dilated by a scale factor of 1/5 with a center of dilation at vertex E, what is the area of triangle C'D'E'?

timurjin [86]

The correct answer would be Choice B: 4 square units.

When the scale factor is 1/5, that means the lengths of the sides are 1/5 of the original size. So instead of having a base of 20 and height of 10, the new triangle has a base of 4 and a height of 2.

The area of the triangle is: (4 x 2) / 2 = 4

if the product of 4 and a number is decreased by 12, the result is twice the opposite of the number. Find the number. EXPLAIN PL

ELEN [110]

Answer: The number is: "2 " .
__________________________________________
Explanation:
__________________________________________
Write the expression; which is an equation, as follows:
__________________________________________
" 4x <span>− 12 = 2(-x) " ; in which "x" represents "the number for which we shall solve" .
___________________________________________
Note:

If the "number" = "x" ; the "opposite of the number" = " -x " ;
</span>___________________________________________
Rewrite as: " 4x <span>− 12 = -2x " ;
</span>_____________________________________________
→ Add "12" ; & add "2x" ; to EACH SIDE of the equation:

4x − 12 + 12 + 2x = -2x + 12 + 2x ;

to get: 6x = 12 ;
____________________________________________________
Now, divide each side of the equation by "6" ;
to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ;
____________________________________________________
6x / 6 = 12 / 6 ;

to get: x = 2 .
____________________________________________________
Answer: The number is: "2 " .
____________________________________________________
Let us check our answer, by plugging in "2" for "x" in our original equation:
_____________________________________________________
→ " 4x − 12 = 2(-x) " ;

Let us plug in "2" for "x" ; to see if the equation holds true; that is; if both side of the equation are equal; when "x = 2" ;

→ " 4(2) − 12 = ? 2(-2) ??

→ 8 − 12 = ? -4 ? ;

→ -4 = ? -4 ?? Yes!

Suppose that you randomly draw one card from a standard deck of 52 cards. After writing down which card was drawn, you replace t

34kurt

Answer:

The probability is 0.0775

The expected value is 4.75 clubs

The standard deviation is 1.8875 clubs

Step-by-step explanation:

The variable X follows a binomial distribution, because we have n identical and independent events (19 cards) with a probability p of success and 1-p of fail (there is a probability of 1/4 to be club and 3/4 to be diamond, heart or spade). Then, the probability that x of the n cards are club is:

$P(x)=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}*p^{x}*(1-p)^{n-x}\\P(x)=\frac{19!}{x!(19-x)!}*0.25^{x}*(0.75)^{19-x}$

So, the probability P of drawing at least 8 clubs is:

P = P(8) + P(9) + P(10) + ... + P(18) + P(19)

Replacing, the values of x, from 8 to 19, on the equation above, we get:

P = 0.0775

Additionally, the expected value E(x) and standard deviationS(x) for this distribution is given by:

E(x)=np = 19(0.25) = 4.75

$S(x)=\sqrt{np(1-p)} =\sqrt{19(0.25)(0.75)} =1.8875$
