Answer:

k = 77/10

Step-by-step explanation:

The jar consist of blue, red and green marbles . The probability of each of them can be described as follows.

probability of blue marbles = 2/7

probability of red marbles = 3/k

probability of green marbles = 5/2k

The sum of the individual probability is equals to 1. Therefore,

2/7 + 3/k + 5/2k = 1

collect like terms

(6 + 5)/2k = 1 - 2/7

11/2k =(7 - 2) /7

11/2k = 5/7

cross multiply

10k = 77

divide both sides by 10

k = 77/10

Sketch the quadratic function ƒ(x) with a vertex at (–1, 2) and the points (0, 0) and (–2, 0). Which statement describes the par
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

I believe it is C) decreasing when x > -1

Step-by-step explanation:

If you plot all 3 points on a graph, you will notice that the parabola is facing downwards. This means that on the left side of the vertex, it is increasing (the y-value increases). On the right side of the vertex, it decreases (y-value decreases). Note that "decreasing" refers to the y values.

So, since the vertex's x-value is -1 (we know this from the point (-1, 2)), any x-value greater than -1 will be to the right of the vertex. For example, 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. are all greater x-values than -1, so they are all to the right of -1. Since they are on the right, that means the corresponding-values will be decreasing.

Therefore, when x > -1, the parabola is decreasing.
