X2=4(5-1)
x2=4(4)
x2=16
x=4
Check: 4 squared (4 times 4) equals 16. When you square a number, you multiply the number by itself.
Answer:
A linear function is written as:
y = a*x + b
Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
An exponential equation is written as:
y = A*(r)^x
Where A is the initial quantity and r is the rate of growth.
If a and A are both positives, the similar characteristic of both types of functions is that as x increases, then the value of y will also increase. Then both functions are increasing functions.
They are different in how they increase, while a linear function increases at a constant rate, an exponential function increases slow at the beginning and really fast as x increases, as you can see in the image below where we compare the two types of functions, the green one is the linear function, and the blue one is the exponential function.
Answer: 1 in 18
This is the same as writing the fraction 1/18
==============================================================
Explanation:
Since she has 36 marbles total, and the probability of picking green is 1 in 2, this means (1/2)*36 = 18 marbles are green.
Then she also has (1/3)*36 = 12 red marbles and (1/9)*36 = 4 blue marbles.
So far, that accounts for 18+12+4 = 34 marbles in all. That leaves 36-4 = 2 marbles left over that must be black, as it's the only color left.
From that, the probability of choosing a black marble is 2/36 = 1/18.
There's a 1 in 18 chance of Maddy picking a black marble.
1/18 = 0.0556 = 5.56% approximately
Answer:
Don't spin the barrel.
Step-by-step explanation:
Each time you spin the barrel, the probability A of finding a bullet, having two bullets in six chambers is:

For you to get shot in the second try but not the first, the barrel spin would have to stop precisely at one specific chamber: the one right before the bullets, so that probability would be:

which means that this event is half as likely as finding a bullet every time the barrel is spun. Your chances are better if you pull the trigger for the second time without spinning the barrel.
Answer:
Well if you put -4 where x is.. you still do get the answer of 20.
So that is correct.
