Answer:

There is a 25/81 probability that Grace will make both of her next two shots.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of her making the first shot is 5/9.

The probability of her also making the shot after that is still 5/9, that does not change.

To find the probability of both of those events, multiply the fractions.

5/9 * 5/9

25/81.

Answer:

<em>(a) x=2, y=-1</em>

<em>(b) x=2, y=2</em>

<em>(c)</em> $\displaystyle x=\frac{5}{2}, y=\frac{5}{4}$

<em>(d) x=-2, y=-7</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Cramer's Rule</u>

It's a predetermined sequence of steps to solve a system of equations. It's a preferred technique to be implemented in automatic digital solutions because it's easy to structure and generalize.

It uses the concept of determinants, as explained below. Suppose we have a 2x2 system of equations like:

$\displaystyle \left \{ {{ax+by=p} \atop {cx+dy=q}} \right.$

We call the determinant of the system

$\Delta=\begin{vmatrix}a &b \\c &d \end{vmatrix}$

We also define:

$\Delta_x=\begin{vmatrix}p &b \\q &d \end{vmatrix}$

And

$\Delta_y=\begin{vmatrix}a &p \\c &q \end{vmatrix}$

The solution for x and y is

$\displaystyle x=\frac{\Delta_x}{\Delta}$

$\displaystyle y=\frac{\Delta_y}{\Delta}$

(a) The system to solve is

$\displaystyle \left \{ {{x+y=1} \atop {x-2y=4}} \right.$

Calculating:

$\Delta=\begin{vmatrix}1 &1 \\1 &-2 \end{vmatrix}=-2-1=-3$

$\Delta_x=\begin{vmatrix}1 &1 \\4 &-2 \end{vmatrix}=-2-4=-6$

$\Delta_y=\begin{vmatrix}1 &1 \\1 &4 \end{vmatrix}=4-3=3$

$\displaystyle x=\frac{\Delta_x}{\Delta}=\frac{-6}{-3}=2$

$\displaystyle y=\frac{\Delta_y}{\Delta}=\frac{3}{-3}=-1$

The solution is x=2, y=-1

(b) The system to solve is

$\displaystyle \left \{ {{4x-y=6} \atop {x-y=0}} \right.$

Calculating:

$\Delta=\begin{vmatrix}4 &-1 \\1 &-1 \end{vmatrix}=-4+1=-3$

$\Delta_x=\begin{vmatrix}6 &-1 \\0 &-1 \end{vmatrix}=-6-0=-6$

$\Delta_y=\begin{vmatrix}4 &6 \\1 &0 \end{vmatrix}=0-6=-6$

$\displaystyle x=\frac{\Delta_x}{\Delta}=\frac{-6}{-3}=2$

$\displaystyle y=\frac{\Delta_y}{\Delta}=\frac{-6}{-3}=2$

The solution is x=2, y=2

(c) The system to solve is

$\displaystyle \left \{ {{-x+2y=0} \atop {x+2y=5}} \right.$

Calculating:

$\Delta=\begin{vmatrix}-1 &2 \\1 &2 \end{vmatrix}=-2-2=-4$

$\Delta_x=\begin{vmatrix}0 &2 \\5 &2 \end{vmatrix}=0-10=-10$

$\Delta_y=\begin{vmatrix}-1 &0 \\1 &5 \end{vmatrix}=-5-0=-5$

$\displaystyle x=\frac{\Delta_x}{\Delta}=\frac{-10}{-4}=\frac{5}{2}$

$\displaystyle y=\frac{\Delta_y}{\Delta}=\frac{-5}{-4}=\frac{5}{4}$

The solution is

$\displaystyle x=\frac{5}{2}, y=\frac{5}{4}$

(d) The system to solve is

$\displaystyle \left \{ {{6x-y=-5} \atop {4x-2y=6}} \right.$

Calculating:

$\Delta=\begin{vmatrix}6 &-1 \\4 &-2 \end{vmatrix}=-12+4=-8$

$\Delta_x=\begin{vmatrix}-5 &-1 \\6 &-2 \end{vmatrix}=10+6=16$

$\Delta_y=\begin{vmatrix}6 &-5 \\4 &6 \end{vmatrix}=36+20=56$

$\displaystyle x=\frac{\Delta_x}{\Delta}=\frac{16}{-8}=-2$

$\displaystyle y=\frac{\Delta_y}{\Delta}=\frac{56}{-8}=-7$

The solution is x=-2, y=-7

How to find the average rate of change of a function

ollegr [7]

ANSWER

Average Rate of Change

$= \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}$

EXPLANATION

To find the average rate of change of y=f(x) from x=a to x=b means finding the slope of the secant line joining the points

(a,f(a)) and (b,f(b))

The slope of the secant line joining these points is

$= \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}$

This gives the average rate of change of the function.

Answer: You can do this!

Step-by-step explanation: For D. The x= -1 and the y= 1 for E same thing the x= 7 and the y= 1 so look for the 7 on the x-axes and the one on the y-axes get it. I believe that you got this!

An airplane is flying at an altitude of 33,000 feet. It needs to reduce its altitude by 6% to avoid some turbulence. After it pa

Tema [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

100% = 33,000 ft

1% = 100%/100 = 33000/100 = 330 ft

6% = 1% × 6 = 330 × 6 = 1980 ft

that means the plane has to go down 1980 ft to

33,000 - 1980 = 31,020 ft

and then it goes up by 5000 ft :

31,020 + 5000 = 36,020 ft

that is the final altitude.
