Answer:

x = .464

Step-by-step explanation:

Assumptions: Equation is $-2x^3+20$ . Thus having an asymptote at the value x=0.

To solve for the x-intercepts, we plug in 0 for f(x).
We can subtract 20 from both sides, leaving us with $-20 = -2x^-3.$
We can divide both sides by -2. $10=1/x^3$ .
Now we multiply both sides by x^3, to get rid of the denominator on the right-hand side. $10x^3=1$ .
We now divide both sides by 10 and take the cube root. Leaving us with x = $\sqrt[3]{1/10}$ or .464. (One x-intercept.)

What is the probability of drawing the compliment of a king or a

inna [77]

Answer:

The probability of drawing the compliment of a king or a queen from a standard deck of playing cards = 0.846

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Let 'S' be the sample space associated with the drawing of a card

n (S) = 52C₁ = 52

Let E₁ be the event of the card drawn being a king

$n( E_{1} ) = 4 _{C_{1} } = 4$

Let E₂ be the event of the card drawn being a queen

$n( E_{2} ) = 4 _{C_{1} } = 4$

But E₁ and E₂ are mutually exclusive events

since E₁ U E₂ is the event of drawing a king or a queen

step(ii):-

The probability of drawing of a king or a queen from a standard deck of playing cards

P( E₁ U E₂ ) = P(E₁) +P(E₂)

$= \frac{4}{52} + \frac{4}{52}$

P( E₁ U E₂ ) = $\frac{8}{52}$

step(iii):-

The probability of drawing the compliment of a king or a queen from a standard deck of playing cards

$P(E_{1}UE_{2}) ^{-} = 1- P(E_{1} U E_{2} )$

$P(E_{1}UE_{2}) ^{-} = 1- \frac{8}{52}$

$P(E_{1}UE_{2}) ^{-} = \frac{52-8}{52} = \frac{44}{52} = 0.846$

Conclusion:-

The probability of drawing the compliment of a king or a queen from a standard deck of playing cards = 0.846

Line M passes through point (3,1) and is perpendicular to the line of the equation y=3x+4. Which equation describes the graph of

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

y = -1/3x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The gradient of the given line is 3 because (y = mx +c where m is the gradient)

Therefore, to find the gradient of the perpendicular line (at 90 degrees), you need to find the negative reciprocal.

The negative reciprocal of 3 is -1/3 because imagine if 3 = 3/1, to get the reciprocal, you flip it, and to get the negative, you just flip the sign.

Now we know that Line M is y = -1/3x + c, we need to find the y-intercept.

To do this, just input the point (3,1) into y = -1/3x + c, to get c. This is because we know (3,1) is on the line from the question.

So it would be 1 = (-1/3 x 3) +c

Which would be 1 = -1 +c

And so c = 2

Put everything together and you get y = -1/3x + 2

Please help me! I am very confused

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

1) 22.5 A

2) 112 B

3) 430 L

4) 576 P

5) 486 L

6) 624 S

Code is A B L P L S

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Area of a triangle = 1/2 * base * height = 1/2 *5*9 = 22.5

2) Area of a parallelogram = base x height = 14 x 8 = 112

3) Area of a rectangular prism = 2(length * width) + 2*(length + height) + 2 *(length *height)

= 2(15x7 + 15*5 + 7*5)

= 2(105 + 75 + 35)

= 2 * 215

= 430

4) Volume of a triangular prism = 1/2 * base * length * height

= 1/2 * 8 * 16 * 9

= 576

5) A cube has six surfaces. Each surface has an area of s x s where s is the length of each side. In this case, each side has area of 9x9 = 81. Total surface area = 6 x 81 = 486 and that is the paper required

6) The trailer is a rectangular prism so its volume = length x width x height = 13 6 x 8 = 624

Now you have to look at each value and see which letter it corresponds to. For example answer 1) is 22.5 which lies between 0-100 so it gets letter A, answer (2) is 112 which lies in the range 101-200 so it gets the letter B and so on

Two friends store 3 cereal bors equally. How many cored bors each person get? Show your work Write an equation & solution: E

maria [59]

Answer:

1 $\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 2 friends, if they have 3 cereal bars and want to split it equally then we simply need to divide the number of cereal bars by the number of friends which would give us the number of cereal bars that each individual will get, which will be represented by x

x = 3 / 2

x = 1 $\frac{1}{2}$

Finally, we can see that each friend will get a total of 1 and a half of a cereal bar.

The function below shows the number of car owners f(t), in thousands, in a city in different years t: f(t) = 0.25t2 − 0.5t + 3.5

N76 [4]

We solve this by the definition of slope in analytical geometry. The definition of slope is the rise over run. In equation, that would be

m = Δy/Δx = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)

The x-coordinates here are the t values, while the y-coordinates are the f(t) values. So, let's find the y values of the boundaries.

At t=2: f(t)= 0.25(2)² − 0.5(2) + 3.5 = 3.5
Point 1 is (2, 3.5)
At t=6: f(t)= 0.25(6)² − 0.5(6) + 3.5 = 9.5
Point 2 is (6, 9.5)

The slope would then be

m = (9.5-3.5)/(6-2)
m = 1.5

Hence, the slope is 1.5. Interpreting the data, the rate of change between t=2 and t=6 is 1.5 thousands per year.
