False. In a coin, there are 2 possible out comes i.e. a head and a tail. if p is the probability of one side coming up, then the probability of the other side comin up will be q = 1 - p.

Therefore, if the probability of head coming up is 3/10, the probability of tail coming up will be 1 - 3/10 = 7/10.

Punctele O, A, B, C sunt coliniare în această ordine, iar segmentele OA, AB și BC au lungimile exprimate în cm, prin numere natu
julia-pushkina [17]

Răspuns:

a) OC = 18cm

b) MN = 6cm

Explicație pas cu pas:

Găsiți diagrama la întrebarea atașată.

a) Din diagramă se poate observa că OC = OA + AB + AC

OC = 2n + 2n + 2 + 2n + 4

OC = 6n + 6

Următorul este să obțineți valoarea lui n:

OM = OA + AM

Să obținem segmentul AM;

Deoarece M este segmentul mijlociu al AC, atunci;

AM = AC / 2

AM = AB + BC / 2

AM = 2n + 2 + 2n + 4/2

AM = 4n + 6/2

AM = 2n + 3

Din moment ce OM = OA + AM

OM = 2n + 2n + 3

OM = 4n + 3

Dat fiind OM = 11

11 = 4n + 3

4n = 11-3

4n = 8

n = 2

Următorul pas este să calculați OC;

OC = 6n + 6

OC = 6 (2) + 6

OC = 18

Prin urmare, lungimea segmentului OC este de 18 cm

b) Această întrebare ne cere să găsim segmentul de linie MN.

Din diagramă, MN = AM - AN

Deoarece AM = 2n + 3 din întrebarea 1;

AM = 2 (2) +3

AM = 4 + 3

AM = 7

Acum, să obținem AN:

Din diagramă, AN = ON-OA și ON = OB / 2

AN = OB / 2 - OA

AN = (2n + 2n + 2) / 2 - 2n

AN = 4n + 2/2 - 2n

AN = 2n + 1 - 2n

AN = 2n-2n + 1

AN = 1

De la MN = AM - AN

MN = 7 - 1

MN = 6cm

Prin urmare, distanța dintre N, mijlocul segmentului OB și punctul M este de 6cm

Scott burned 20 calories per minute jogging for x minutes and 5 calories per minute for biking for y minutes. He spent a total o
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

x = 112

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create two equations 1. one that calculates calories burned and 2.another that calculates minutes:

20*x + 5*y = 1200

x + y = 120

Then we can solve for x

x = 120 - y

then we can plug that into the top equation:

20(120 - y) + 5y = 1200

divide by 5:

4(120 - y) + y = 240

distribute:

480 - 4y + y = 240

and then do all that combining like factors what not and simplify and solve:

480 - 3y = 240

-3y = -240

y = 8

NOW WE CAN JUST PLUG IN THE ANSWER FOR Y TO FIND X

8+x =120

x = 112

The graph of function f is shown. Function g is represented by the table. Which statement correctly compares the two functions?
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Option (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

Graph of function 'f' represents,

x - intercept of the function 'f' → (1, 0)

y - intercept of the function → (0, 6)

As x-approaches ∞, value of the function approaches (-2)

Points in the given table is for the another function 'g'

x - intercept of the function 'g' → (1, 0) [For x - intercept, y = 0]

y - intercept of the function 'g' → (0, 3) [For y - intercept, x = 0]

As x approaches ∞, value of function 'g' approaches (-1).

Therefore, x - intercepts of both the functions are same but end behavior are different when x → ∞.

Option (A) will be the answer.

A rectangular poster is to contain 882 square inches of print. The margins at the top and bottom of the poster are to be 2 inche
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

L  =  23 in

h  = 46  in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let call  " x "  and  " y "  dimensions of the print area of the poster then:

882 = x*y  and   y = 882/x

We also know that dimensions of the poster is:

L  =  x + 2   in  and     h  =  y + 4 in

Therefore area of the poster is:

A(p)  = ( x + 2 ) * ( y + 4 )  And area as function of x is:

A(x)  =   ( x + 2 ) * ( 882/x + 4 )

A(x)  =  882 + 4*x + 1764 /x  + 8

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation we have:

A´(x)  =  4  - 1764/x²

A´(x)  = 0      ⇒      4  - 1764/x² = 0      ⇒ 4*x² - 1764  =  0

x²  =  1764 / 4

x²  = 441

x  = 21 in      and    y  =  882/x         y  = 42

The second derivative  A´´(x)  is > 0  ( the second term changes its sign to +) there is a minimum for the function at the point      x = 21

As x   and  y are dimensions of the printing area of the poster, dimensions of the poster  are

L  = x  +  2   =   21  + 2  =  23 in   and

h = y  +  4   =   42  + 4  =  46  in
