Answer:

Two triangles are said to be similar if their corresponding angles are congruent and the corresponding sides are in proportion . In other words, similar triangles are the same shape, but not necessarily the same size. The triangles are congruent if, in addition to this, their corresponding sides are of equal length.

Answer:

No. Similar triangles only have equivalent angles. Congruent triangles have equal side lengths.

Jessie draws triangle ABC on a coordinate grid. The slope of line segment AB is Jessie then transforms triangle

balu736 [363]

Answer:

1) Supports Jessie's Claim

2) Does Not Support Jessi's Claim

3) Supports Jessie's Claim

4) Does Not Support Jessi's Claim

Step-by-step explanation:

The given transformations are;

1) Rotation of 180° around the origin

For a rotation of 180° around the origin, either clockwise or anti clockwise, for a given coordinate of the preimage (x, y), the coordinate of the image is (-x, -y)

Therefore, whereby the slope of the preimage, given two points (0, 0) and (2, 2), = (2 - 0)/(2 - 0) = 1

For the image with the points (0, 0) and (-2, -2), we have;

(-2 - 0)/(-2 - 0) = 1

Therefore, the slope of the preimage and the image are equal

Therefore, supports Jessie's Claim

2) For a reflection across the line y = 2, we have

We note that the line y = 2 is parallel to the x-axis

For a reflection across the x-axis, for a preimage (x, y), we have the coordinates of the image (x, -y)

However for the reflection across the line y = 2, we have;

For a preimage, (x, y), the coordinate of the image is (x, -y+4)

Given two points, of the preimage (0, 0) and (2, 2), we have the image given as (0, 4) and (2, -2 + 4) = (2, 2);

The slope of the preimage is (2 - 0)/(2 - 0) = 1

The slope of the image is (2 - 4)/(2 - 0) = -1

The slope of the line of the preimage and the image are different

Therefore, does Not Support Jessi's Claim

3) For a translation up 1.25 units, we note that the difference in the y and x values of the coordinates of the preimage and the image will be equal when finding the slope, and therefore, the slope of the figure of the preimage and the slope of the figure of the image will be equal

Therefore, supports Jessie's Claim

4) For a reflection across the x-axis, a point on the preimage, with coordinates (x, y) will form a point on the image with coordinates (x, - y)

For a preimage with points (0, 0) and (2, 2), we have the image as (0, 0) and (2, -2)

The slope of the preimage is (2 - 0)/(2 - 0) = 1

The slope of the image is (-2 - 0)/(2 - 0) = -1

The slope of the line of the preimage and the image are different

Therefore, does Not Support Jessi's Claim

Assume that we have two events, and , that are mutually exclusive. Assume further that we know and . If an amount is zero, enter

sweet [91]

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

Assume that we have two events, A and B, that are mutually exclusive. Assume further that we know P(A) = 0.30 and P(B) =0.40.

What is P(A and B)?

What is P(A | B)?

Is P(A | B) equal to P(A)?

Are events A and B dependent or independent?

A student in statistics argues that the concepts of mutually exclusive events and independent events are really the same, and that if events are mutually exclusive they must be independent. Is this statement accurate?

What general conclusion would you make about mutually exclusive and independent events given the results of this problem?

Solution:

The probability of the two events A and B are:

P(A) = 0.30 and P(B) =0.40

(a)

Compute the value of P (A ∩ B) as follows:

$P(A\cap B)=0$

This is because mutually exclusive events are those events that cannot occur together.

(b)

Compute the value of P (A | B) as follows:

$P(A|B)=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}=\frac{0}{0.40}=0$

Thus, the value of P (A | B) is 0.

(c)

No, P (A | B) is not equal to the P (A).

(d)

As mentioned in part (a), mutually exclusive events are those events which cannot occur together.

That is, $P(A\cap B)=0$ .

Events A and B are independent if the chance of their concurrent happening is equivalent to the multiplication of their distinct probabilities.

That is, $P(A\cap B)=P(A)\times P(B)$ .

The concepts of mutually exclusive events and independent events are not the same.

(e)

As the it is provided that A and B are mutually exclusive events, we know that $P(A\cap B)=0$ .

Now compute the value of $P(A)\times P(B)$ as follows:

$P(A)\times P(B)=0.30\times 0.40=0.12\neq 0$

Thus, the events A and B are not independent.

Thus, if two events are mutually exclusive events they cannot be independent.

Write an equation of the translated function of the parent function f(x)=|x| with the following transformations:

MrRa [10]

Answer:

Option b

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the searched equation we must modify the function f (x) = | x | in the following way:

1. Do y = f(x + 4)

This operation horizontally shifts the function f(x) = | x | by a factor of 4 units to the left on the x axis.

y = | x +4 |

2. Do $y = f (\frac{1}{4}x)$

This operation horizontally expands the function f (x) = | x | in a factor of 4 units. $y = |\frac{1}{4}x + 1|$

3. Do $y = f(x)-4$

This operation vertically shifts the function f (x) = | x | by a factor of 4 units down on the y-axis.

$y = |\frac{1}{4}x +1| -4$

4. After these transformations the function f(x) = | x | it looks like:

$f(x) = |\frac{1}{4}x +1| -4$

Therefore the correct option is option b. You can verify that your vertex is at point (-4, -4) by making f (-4)

$f(-4) = |\frac{1}{4}(-4) +1| -4 = -4$

A bakery has the following pricing for large orders of cupcakes. The first 100 cupcakes of any order

Taya2010 [7]

A piecewise function is a function that behaves differently in different intervals of its domain.

The answers are:

f(x) = x*$2.00 if 0 ≤ x ≤ 100

f(x) = x*$1.75 if 100 < x ≤ 250

f(x) = x*$1.25 if x > 250.

b) $306.25

The given information is:

The first 100 cupcakes cost $2.00 each.

If the order is between 100 and 250 cupcakes, the cost is $1.75 each.

If the order is more than 250 cupcakes, the cost is $1.25 each.

a) Now we want to write the piecewise function, this will be:

f(x) = x*$2.00 if 0 ≤ x ≤ 100

f(x) = x*$1.75 if 100 < x ≤ 250

f(x) = x*$1.25 if x > 250.

Above you can see the piecewise function, when you want to evaluate it, the first thing you need to do is to find at which interval the input belongs.

b) If you order 175 cupcakes you have x = 175.

This belongs to the second interval ( 100 < x ≤ 250) then we will use the second part of the function:

f(175) = 175*$1.75 = $306.25
