Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equivalent Algebraic Expressions </u>

One algebraic expression can be written in several ways by applying known rules and theorems that modify expressions without changing its final value.

The expression:

1 + 2(x - 1)

Can be modified by applying the following operations:

Multiplying the constant by the contents in parentheses:

1 + 2x - 2

Collecting like terms:

-1 + 2x

Or, equivalently:

2x - 1

A basketball team is down by 2 points with only a few seconds remaining in the game. There is a 60% chance that the team will be

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

This means that the coach should have the team going for the 2 point shot. There is a 36% probability of making the 2 point shot and winning overtime.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

A 60% probability of tying the game on a 2 point shot. In this case, the game goes to overtime, in which the team has a 60% probability of winning.

A 30% probability of making the 3 point shot and winning.

What should the coach do, go for the 2 point shot or the 3 point shot?

In which case the team has a higher probability of winning?

The team has:

A 60% probability of tying the game on a 2 point shot. In this case, the game goes to overtime, in which the team has a 60% probability of winning. So, going for the 2 point shot, the team has a 0.6*0.6 = 0.36 = 36% probability of winning.

Going for the 3 point shot, the team has a 30% probability of winning.

This means that the coach should have the team going for the 2 point shot. There is a 36% probability of making the 2 point shot and winning overtime.

Blake is playing a racing game on his computer. The game tracks the locations of objects using and y coordinates (see graph belo

Anvisha [2.4K]

<h3>Answer: 2.2 units</h3>

============================================

Explanation:

I'll define these point labels

B = Blake's starting position
F = finish line
C = the third unmarked point of the triangle

The locations of the points are

B = (-8,1)
C = (-6,-3)
F = (4,-2)

Use the distance formula to find the distance from B to C

$B = (x_1,y_1) = (-8,1) \text{ and } C = (x_2,y_2) = (-6,-3)\\\\d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-8-(-6))^2 + (1-(-3))^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-8+6)^2 + (1+3)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-2)^2 + (4)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{4 + 16}\\\\d = \sqrt{20} \ \text{ ... exact distance}\\\\d \approx 4.47214 \ \ \text{... approximate distance}\\\\$

Segment BC is roughly 4.47214 units long.

Following similar steps, you should find that segment CF is approximately 10.04988 units long.

If Blake doesn't take the shortcut, then he travels approximately BC+CF = 4.47214+10.04988 = 14.52202 units. This is the path from B to C to F in that order.

---------

Use the distance formula again to find the distance from B to F. This distance is about 12.36932 units. He travels this amount if he takes the shortcut.

Subtract this and the previous result we got

14.52202 - 12.36932 = 2.1527

That rounds to 2.2

This is the amount of distance he doesn't have to travel when he takes the shortcut.

In other words, the track is roughly 2.2 units shorter when taking the shortcut.

Side note: Replace "units" with whatever units you're working with (eg: feet or meters).
