Answer:

A=1, B=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of the line in intercept form

The intercept form of the equation of a line is:

$\displaystyle \frac{x}{h}+\frac{y}{k}=1$

Where:

h = x-intercept

k = y-intercept

We are given the y-intercept (0,8) and x-intercept (8,0), thus the equation is:

$\displaystyle \frac{x}{8}+\frac{y}{8}=1$

Multiplying by 8:

x + y = 8

Thus, the values of A and B are:

A=1, B=1

in the adjoining figure line I parallel to m. fill the blanks and state the property for all the situations given below

Anna11 [10]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

angle 7 = 70 by the vertical angles theorem.

angle 7 = 50 by the corresponding angles theorem

angle 3 = 80 by the consecutive angles theorem (same side interior angles theorem)

angle 2 = 105 by the alternate interior angles theorem.

Answer:

$d_{n+1}=d_n\,+\,2^n$

with $d_1=81$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can study what happens day by day starting with day one (1) to understand how the recursive relation can be constructed:

Day # Number of stamps What is added relative to previous day

1 d1 = 80 + 1 = 81

2 d2 = 81 + 2 = 83 d2 = d1 + 2

3 d3 = 83 + 4 = 87 d3 = d2 + $2^2$

4 d4 = 87 + 8 = 95 d4 = d3 + $2^3$

5 d5 = 95 + 16 = 111 d5 = d4 + $2^4$

6 d6 = 111 + 32 = 143 d6 = d5 + $2^2$

(n+1) d(n+1) = dn + $2^n$

Two balls are drawn in succession out of a box containing 5 red and 5 white balls. Find the probability that at least 1 ball was

Lera25 [3.4K]

Check the tree diagram of the problem:

The first ball can be either Red or Blue, the second ball can either be Red or Blue.

The branches represent all possible scenarios.

For example, consider the upper branch, the case when both balls are blue:

The first ball is Blue, probability 5/10, the second ball is Blue, probability 4/9 because now there are 4 left blue balls, and 9 balls in total, after we picked the first blue.

The other branches have the same logic.

The question is not completed so we have 2 cases:

"Find the probability that at least 1 ball was red, given that the first ball was red"

here we add the separate probabilities of (R, R) and (R, B)

P(R,R)+P(R,B)=2/9 + 5/18 = 4/18 +5/18= 9/18=0.5

"Find the probability that at least 1 ball was red, given that the first ball was blue"

probability is P(B, R)=5/18=0.28
