We'll use the formula for the classical probability as follows.

P(A) = Number of outcomes favorable for A / Total number of possible outcomes

In this case, two socks are randomly drawn from a set of 6+10 = 16 socks. So the total number of possible outcomes = 16C2 = 120.

The two stocks match each other if they are both blue or grey. So the number of favorable outcomes is 6C2 + 10C2 = 15 + 45 = 60.

Hence the probability that the two stocks match is \frac{60}{120}=0.5.

A line passes through (2, 4) and (-2, 2). Find the value of y if (6, y) lies on the line. Not sure how the 3 was brought into th
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Well, that is simple. You first must find the slope of the line from the 2 given points by using the slope formula. Which is y2-y1/x2-x1. So 2-4/-2-2 which equals -2/-4 which is 1/2. So the slope is 1/2. Now we can use the slope intercept form which is y=mx+b to find the slope equation. So we plug in one the points, say (2,4) and get y=1/2x+3. So now we plug in (6,y) Since we know x we can find y. y=1/2(6)+3 which gives us y=6. So y is 6.

72 + 8x + 18x = 36x
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
72 + 8x + 18x = 36x
 

72+26x=36x
 

72=36x-26x
  \text{Subtract 26x from both sides} 

72=10x
 

\text{Divide both sides by 10} 

x=36/5

What is the inverse of the function h(x)=\dfrac{5}{2}x+4h(x)= 2 5 ​ x+4h, left parenthesis, x, right parenthesis, equals, start
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

The inverse of the function h(x) is h^{-1}(x)=\frac{2}{5}x-\frac{8}{5}.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

h(x)=\dfrac{5}{2}x+4

Replace h(x) by y.

y=\dfrac{5}{2}x+4

Interchange x and y.

x=\dfrac{5}{2}y+4

Subtract 4 from both sides to isolate variable y,

x-4=\dfrac{5}{2}y

Multiply both sides by 2.

2x-8=5y

Divide both sides by 5.

\frac{2}{5}x-\frac{8}{5}=y

Replace y by h⁻¹(x).

h^{-1}(x)=\frac{2}{5}x-\frac{8}{5}

Therefore the inverse of the function h(x) is h^{-1}(x)=\frac{2}{5}x-\frac{8}{5}.
