Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
area of big triangle is 36
area of small triangle is 20
area of shaded is 36 - 20=16
Looking at the set, we are given 18 elements. 17 is prime; it has only two factors: 1 and 17, since 1•17=17. So, the question is really asking what is the probability the numbers 1 or 17 is chosen. As mentioned earlier, 17 is prime, so there are two possible choices: 1 and 17.
P (probability) = possible outcomes / total outcomes
It is important to note that these events are “or” events, meaning that the probability can only be determined by choosing a 1 or a 17; you can’t randomly chose a 1 and 17 at the same time. So, the formula is:
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B)
All this is saying is that given two possible outcomes, the probability occurs independent of each event; they don’t occur at the same time.
P(1 or 17) = P(1)/18 + P(1)/18
P(1 or 17) = 2/18
Since 17 is prime, it’s two and only factors are 1 and 17. The probability of randomly choosing a 1 or 17 is 2/18, meaning that there are 2 elements in the set out of a possible 18 elements that can be randomly chosen.
2/18 simplifies to 1/9
So, your answer is 1/9
Answer: Choice B) (2,0)
======================================
Set the first piece equal to zero and solve for x
x^2 - 4 = 0
x^2 = 4
x = sqrt(4) or x = -sqrt(4)
x = 2 or x = -2
Keep in mind that the first piece y = x^2-4 is only graphed when x = 2 or larger, so we ignore x = -2. This is one x intercept, but there may be more. Let's check the other graph to see what we get.
----------
Set the second piece equal to zero and solve for x
x-2 = 0
x-2+2 = 0+2
x = 2
We get the same result as above in the prior section. Because of this, the two pieces connect at this junction point.
The x intercept x = 2 leads to the location (2,0). The x intercept always occurs when y = 0.
The graph below shows this.
side note: the red piece y = x^2 - 4 looks linear, but it's actually not a straight line. It's just a really stretched out curve.
