let dogs be heads. Let cats be tails. A coin has two sides, in which you are flipping two of them. Note that there can be the possible outcomes

h-h, h-t, t-h, t-t.

How this affects the possibility of two dogs & two cats. Note that there are 1/2 a chance of getting those two (with the others being one of each), which means that out of 4 chances, 2 are allowed.

2/4 = 1/2

50% is your answer

Heads represents cats and tails represents dogs. There is two coins because we are checking the probability of two pets. You have to do the experiment to get your set of data, once you get your set of data, you will be able to divide it into the probability for cats or dogs. To change the simulation to generate data for 3 pets, simply add a new coin and category for the new pet.

Hope this helps you out!

The ratio of apples to orgens is 1 to 3

-BARSIC- [3]

Because the ratio is 1 to 3. It means that For every one apple there are 3 oranges. So If there are 2 apples, there would n 6 oranges. If there are twelve apples, there would be 36 oranges. To find the number of oranges for the amount of apples, just multiply the number of apples by 3.

5a) rotational symmetry is 2 because it can be rotated only 2 times before it turns to the original form.

b) perimeter is the total surface of all the sides so, because we are given a scale of 1 unit = 1cm then our measurements would be: 4cm + 3cm + 2cm + 1cm + 4cm + 3cm + 2cm + 1cm = 20cm.

c) To workout the area we need to divide the irregular shape into separate regular shapes. the diagram will help you! Shape 1 is a rectangle so, area = L × W = 3 × 2 = 6cm. Shape 2 is a square so, area = side² = 2² = 4cm. Shape 3 is the same as shape 1 so the area is 6cm. Now to find the area of the whole shape we add these values so, 6+4+6= area of shape = 16cm.

d) The diagram will show the answer!

A parabola can be drawn given a focus of (-9, -7) and a directrix of x = 9. Write

Slav-nsk [51]

Check the picture below, so the parabola looks more or less like so, with a vertex at (0 , -7), let's recall the vertex is half-way between the focus point and the directrix.

so this horizontal parabola opens up to the left-hand-side, meaning that the "P" distance is a negative value.

$\textit{horizontal parabola vertex form with focus point distance} \\\\ 4p(x- h)=(y- k)^2 \qquad \begin{cases} \stackrel{vertex}{(h,k)}\qquad \stackrel{focus~point}{(h+p,k)}\qquad \stackrel{directrix}{x=h-p}\\\\ p=\textit{distance from vertex to }\\ \qquad \textit{ focus or directrix}\\\\ \stackrel{"p"~is~negative}{op ens~\supset}\qquad \stackrel{"p"~is~positive}{op ens~\subset} \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}$

$\begin{cases} h=0\\ k=-7\\ p=-9 \end{cases}\implies 4(-9)(x-0)~~ = ~~[y-(-7)]^2 \\\\\\ -36x=(y+7)^2\implies x=-\cfrac{1}{36}(y+7)^2$
