Answer:
See explaination
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability is the number of desired outcomes over the total outcomes.
1) You want to find Oranges, so that is your desired outcome:
There are 4 oranges in the bowl.
Now sum up all the fruits to get the total:
9+4+7+3+6 = 29
Therefore you have 4/29
2) Same idea, count the peaches and put it over total:
3/29
3) This time, you still want to use the same idea, but its just your desired outcomes that have increased. So instead of just having one fruit, now you want to add the total of 2 fruits as your desired outcome.
(9+4)/29
= 13/29
4) To find the probability of a fruit other than a plum, you can use complementary counting. Since the maximum probability is one, we can find what we dont want, and the outcome of that subtracted from one must be the results that we want.
So a plum is 6/29
1-6/29 = 23/29
5) Same idea as what is used in problems 3 and 4, just a combination of the 2.
(4+3)/29
1-7/29
= 22/29
One meaning of a 'linear' equation is that if you draw the graph
of the equation, the graph will be a straight line.
That's an easy way to test the equation . . . find 3 points on the
graph, and see whether they're all in a straight line.
This equation is y = 4 / x .
To find a point on the graph, just pick any number for 'x',
and figure out the value of 'y' that goes with it.
Do that 3 times, and you've got 3 points on the graph.
Here ... I'll do 3 quick points:
Point-A: x = 1 y = 4 / 1 = 4
Point-B: x = 2 y = 4 / 2 = 2
Point-C: x = 4 y = 4 / 4 = 1
Look at this:
Slope of the line from point-A to point-B
= (change in 'y') / (change in 'x') = -2 .
Slope of the line from point-B to point-C
= (change in 'y') / (change in 'x') = -1/2 .
The two pieces of line from A-B and from B-C don't even have
the same slope, so they're not pieces of the same straight line !
So my points A, B, and C are NOT in a straight line.
So the equation is NOT linear.
Try it again with three points of your own.
Answer:
Length of side AB = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
A regular polygon is one in which all angles are equal and all the sides have the same length.
Now, it means that;
AB = BC = CD = DE = AE
We are told that BC is represented by 3x - 4 while DE is represented by the expression 4x - 9.
Thus, from equal length of sides of a regular polygon, we have;
3x - 4 = 4x - 9
4x - 3x = 9 - 4
x = 5
Thus, length of BC = 3(5) - 4 = 15 - 4 = 11
Therefore, Length of AB = 5
