Step-by-step explanation: In geometry, a line segment is a segment that's composed of two points, which are called the endpoints, and all the points that are between the endpoints.

So, in order for a figure to be a line segment,

it needs to begin and end at an endpoint.

Take a look at the image provided below.

Matching quantities with units

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

1. Volume = length x width x height => cubic centimetres.

2. Perimeter = 2(length) + 2(width) => metres.

3. Speed = Distance /time => metres per second.

4. Area = length x width => square metres.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Volume = length x width x height

If the length, width and height are measured in centimetre (cm) , then, the unit of the volume will be:

Volume = cm x cm xcm = cm3 i.e cubic centimetres.

2. Perimeter = 2(length) + 2(width)

If the length and width are measured in meter (m), then, the unit of the perimeter will also be in metre (m).

3. Speed = Distance /time

If the unit of distance is measured in metre (m) and the time is measured in second (s), then , the unit of the speed will be:

Speed = Distance /time = m/s i.e metres per second.

4. Area = length x width

If the length and width are measured in metres (m), then, the unit of the area will be:

Area = m x m = m2 i.e square metres

A(1)=20

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

-14

Step-by-step explanation:

You've got a(1)=20

a(1) means a(n) when n=1

the sequence is telling you to take the previous value of a(n), which is a(n-1) and subtract 17

then:

a(2) = a(1)-17 = 20 - 17 = 3

a(3) = a(2) - 17 = 3-17 = -14

The cost for taking a taxi is $1.80 plus $0.10 per eighth of a mile. What is the cost of a ride that is 4.5 miles long?

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

$1.80 + (8x$0.10)*4.5 = $5.40

Step-by-step explanation:

$1.80 base cost

$0.10 for an 8th of a mile, thus multiply by 8 = $0.80 per mile

So, $1.80 + (4.5 * $0.8) = $5.40

According to the "January theory," if the stock market is up for the month of January, it will be up for the year. If it is down

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The required probability is 0.031918.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that According to an article in The Wall Street Journal, this theory held for 22 out of the last 34 years.

Therefore n=34

The probability it is either up or down is 0.5.

Thus the value of p =0.5 and q = 0.5

Now calculate the probability

Let X is the number of years that theory held.

X has a binomial distribution with n=34 and p=0.5

$P(X=22)=\binom{34}{22}(0.5)^{22}(0.5)^{12}\\P(X=22)=\frac{34!}{22!\times 12!}(0.5)^{22}(0.5)^{12}\\P(X=22)=548354040\times 5.8207660913\times 10^{11}\\P(X=22)=0.0319184060208\\P(X=22)\approx0.031918$

Hence, the required probability is 0.031918.

(–4c2 + 7cd + 8d) + (–3d + 8c2 + 4cd) =

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

4c² + 11cd + 5d

Step-by-step explanation:

(–4c2 + 7cd + 8d) + (–3d + 8c2 + 4cd)

-4c² + 7cd + 8d - 3d + 8c² + 4cd (opening bracket)

8c²-4c²+7cd + 4cd + 8d - 3d

= 4c² + 11cd + 5d
