<h3>Answer:  3/5</h3>

Work Shown:

3 blue + 3 red = 6 pens that are either blue or red

4 black + 3 blue + 3 red = 10 pens total

6/10 = 3/5 is the probability of selecting either blue or red

3/5 = 0.60 = 60%

Find the values of m and b that make the following function differentiable.
dimaraw [331]
Now, bearing in mind that, for a graph, to be "differentiable", means a "smooth transition", not an abrupt edge or a "cusp", the first subfunction of the piece-wise is just a quadratic, the second subfunction is a linear, well, so the linear needs to hit the quadratic "smoothly", not make an abrupt edge, for that, the linear must continue the quadratic from 2 onwards, since 2 is the range edge.

now, what is the piece-wise when x = 2? well, f(2) = x² or (2)² or 4

that means, the linear needs to hit it at that point, to make it so, let's make it the slope of the linear, the same as the quadratic's.

what's the quadratic's slope? well, simple enough

\bf \left. \cfrac{dy}{dx}=2x \right|_{x=2}\implies 4\impliedby \textit{this means }&#10;\begin{array}{llll}&#10;mx+b\\&#10;\uparrow \\&#10;4&#10;\end{array}

so we have y = 4x + b

now, recall, for the quadratic, when x =2, y = 4, so for the linear, when x = 2, y = 4 as well, this means

\bf 4 = 4(2) + b\implies 4=8+b\implies 4-8=b\implies \boxed{-4=b}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;mx+b\implies 4x-4\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\&#10;f(x)=&#10;\begin{cases}&#10;x^2&x\le 2\\&#10;4x-4&x\ \textgreater \ 2&#10;\end{cases}

check the picture below.

Find the distance between the points (4,-2) and (0,10)
vagabundo [1.1K]

We can solve this problem by using the distance formula. The distance formula is: \sqrt{(x_{1}-x)^{2} + (y_{1} - y)^{2}} We can now put in values and solve.

\sqrt{(4-0)^{2} + (-2-10)^{2}}  

\sqrt{16 + 144}

\sqrt{160}

This is one way to subtract 8.98 from 14.32. What is another correct way?
Oxana [17]

Answer:

Here are a few:

  • 14.32 - 8.98
  • -8.98 + 14.32
  • 14.32

      <u>-  8.98</u>

Hopefully this made sense and is the correct way to solve your problem! :)

Solve the equation for y<br><br> 6y+x=8
Igoryamba

Answer:

y=4/3-1/6x

Step-by-step explanation:

1) subtract "x" from both sides:

6y=8-x

2)divide by 6 on both sides(EVERYTHING WILL BE DIVIDED BY 6)

6y/6=(8-x)/6

y=(8-x)/6

2)simplify:

y=4/3-x/6
