Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the slope of the line tangent to the function y = 6 - 3x

First, we need to differentiate;

dy/dx = 0 -3x^{1-1}

dy/dx = 0 - 3x^0

dy/dx = 0 - 3

dy/dx = -3

Hence the slope of the line tangent to the function at the point is -3

Alex and Freddy collect stamps. The number of stamps in Alex’s collection is in ratio 3:5 to the number of stamps in Freddy’s co
Tems11 [23]
Suppose Alex has 3x stamps, Freddy has 5x stamps. After Freddy gives Alex 10 stamps, Alex has 3x+10 while Freddy has 5x-10
the new ratio is 7 to 9, so we have the equation: (3x+10)/(5x-10)=7/9
9(3x+10)=7(5x-10)
27x+90=35x-70
160=8x
x=20
So Alex has 3*20=60 stamps while Freddy has 5*20=100. Together they have 160

Why do the probability of an event and the probability of its complement add up to 1
Ad libitum [116K]
<span>the probability of an event and the probability of its complement add up to 1 because the total events are the even it self and its compliment, so its probability equal to 1 because these are all the possible events that will occur. for example a coin toss, an event head will happen 0.5, and its complement is tails which will also happens 0.5</span>
