Answer:

A Variable

Step-by-step explanation:

Variables are used to mark an unknown value. Common math problems ask you to solve for it.

For example in 5x+23=45, 'x' is the variable.

A constant is a number without a variable.

Determine the radius and center of the circle with the following equation x^2+y^2-12x+24y-10=6

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

Center: (6, -12)

Radius: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete the squares

$x^2+y^2-12x+24y-10=6\\\\x^2-12x-10+y^2+24y=6\\\\x^2-12x-10+46+y^2+24y+144=6+46+144\\\\(x^2-12x+36)+(y^2+24y+144)=196\\\\(x-6)^2+(y+12)^2=196$

Comparing with the standard form equation $(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$ , since $r^2=196$ , then the radius of the circle is $r=14$ . Also, the center of the circle would be $(h,k)\rightarrow(6,-12)$ .

What is the value of x? Enter your answer in the box.

Effectus [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

These two angles are supplementary. They make up the horizontal line. Supplementary angles add to 180 degrees.

Equation

x + 134 = 180

Solution and Answer

x + 134 = 180 Subtract 134 from both sides

x + 134 - 134 = 180-134 Combine

Answer: x = 46

A tattoo enthusiast website claims that :

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

The probability that a person is a Millennial given that they have tattoos is 0.5069 (50.69%) or about 0.51 (51%).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have here a case where we need to use Bayes' Theorem and all conditional probabilities related. Roughly speaking, a conditional probability is a kind of probability where an event determines the occurrence of another event. Mathematically:

$\\ P(A|B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}$

In the case of the Bayes' Theorem, we have also a conditional probability where one event is the sum of different probabilities.

We have a series of different probabilities that we have to distinguish one from the others:

The probability that a person has a tattoo assuming that is a Millennial is:

$\\ P(T|M) = 0.47$

The probability that a person has a tattoo assuming that is of Generation X is:

$\\ P(T|X) = 0.36$

The probability that a person has a tattoo assuming that is of Boomers is:

$\\ P(T|B) = 0.13$

The probability of being of Millennials is:

$\\ P(M) = 0.22$

The probability of being of Generation X is:

$\\ P(X) = 0.20$

The probability of being of Boomers is:

$\\ P(B) = 0.22$

Therefore, the probability of the event of having a tattoo P(T) is:

$\\ P(T) = P(T|M)*P(M) + P(T|X)*P(X) + P(T|B)*P(B)$

$\\ P(T) = 0.47*0.22 + 0.36*0.20 + 0.13*0.22$

$\\ P(T) = 0.204$

For non-independent events that happen at the same time, we can say that the probability of occurring simultaneously is:

$\\ P(M \cap T) = P(M|T)*P(T)$

$\\ P(T \cap M) = P(T|M)*P(M)$

But

$\\ P(M \cap T) = P(T \cap M)$

Then

$\\ P(M|T)*P(T) = P(T|M)*P(M)$

We are asked for the probability that a person is a Millennial given or assuming that they have tattoos or P(M | T). Solving the previous formula for the latter:

$\\ P(M|T)*P(T) = P(T|M)*P(M)$

$\\ P(M|T) = \frac{P(T|M)*P(M)}{P(T)}$

We have already know that

$\\ P(T|M) = 0.47\;P(M) = 0.22\;and\;P(T) = 0.204$ .

Therefore

$\\ P(M|T) = \frac{0.47*0.22}{0.204}$

$\\ P(M|T) = 0.50686 \approx 0.51$

Thus, the probability that a person is a Millennial given that they have tattoos is 0.5069 (50.69%) or about 0.51 (51%).

PLZ HELP! A train averages a speed of 90 miles per hour across the plains and 37.5 miles per hour through the mountains. If a tr

Kruka [31]

Answer:

3.8

Step-by-step explanation:

A train averages a speed of 90 miles per hour across the plains and 37.5 miles per hour through the mountains.

If a trip of 300 miles took 3 hour and 48 minutes, how much of it was through the mountains?

Let d = distance traveled at 37.5 (thru the mountains)

then

(300-d) = distance traveled at 90 mph

Write a time equation, time = dist/speed

change 3 hr 48 min to hrs: 3 + 48/60 = 3.8 hrs

plain time + mountain time = 3.8 hrs

%28300-d%29%2F90 + d%2F37.5 = 3.8

Multiply 90*37.5

3375*%28300-d%29%2F90 + 3375*d%2F37.5 = 3.8(3375)

cancel the denominator

37.5(300-d) + 90d = 12825

11250 - 37.5d + 90d = 12825

52.5d = 1575

d = 1575/52.5

d = 30 mi thru the mountains

Check this, find the distance on the plain

300-30 = 270 mi

Find the actual time at each speed

270/90 = 3 hrs

30/37.5 = .8 hrs

-----------------

total time: 3.8 hrs
