Answer:

(-2, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The orthocenter is the intersection of the altitudes. The altitude lines are not difficult to find here. Each is a line through the vertex that is perpendicular to the opposite side.

Side XZ is horizontal, so the altitude to that side is the vertical line through Y. The x-coordinate of Y is -2, so that altitude has equation ...

x = -2

Side YZ has a rise/run of -1/1 = -1, so the altitude to that side will be the line through X with a slope of -1/(-1) = 1. In point-slope form, the equation is ...

y -(-1) +(1)(x -(-5))

y = x +4 . . . . . . . . subtract 1 and simplify

The orthocenter is the point that satisfies both these equations. Using the first equation to substitute for x in the second, we have ...

y = (-2) +4 = 2

The orthocenter is (x, y) = (-2, 2).

HELP What is the area of this figure?

Mademuasel [1]

The correct answer is: [B]: "40 yd² " .
_____________________________________________________
First, find the area of the triangle:

The formula of the area of a triangle, "A":

A = (1/2) * b * h ;

in which: " A = area (in units 'squared') ; in our case, " yd² " ;

" b = base length" = 6 yd.

" h = perpendicular height" = "(4 yd + 4 yd)" = 8 yd.
___________________________________________________
→ A = (1/2) * b * h = (1/2) * (6 yd) * (8 yd) = (1/2) * (6) * (8) * (yd²) ;

= " 24 yd² " .
___________________________________________________
Now, find the area, "A", of the square:

The formula for the area, "A" of a square:

A = s² ;

in which: "A = area (in "units squared") ; in our case, " yd² " ;

"s = side length (since a 'square' has all FOUR (4) equal side lengths);

A = s² = (4 yd)² = 4² * yd² = "16 yd² "
_________________________________________________
Now, we add the areas of BOTH the triangle AND the square:
_________________________________________________
→ " 24 yd² + 16 yd² " ;

to get: " 40 yd² " ; which is: Answer choice: [B]: " 40 yd² " .

A couple plans to have children until they get a girl, but they agree they will not have more than three children, even if all

barxatty [35]

Answer:

a)Let X be number of children

X=1,2,3

P(X=1)= 0.47

P(X=2) = 0.2491

P(X=3) = 0.942923

b) 3.7970

c) 1.6232

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

A couple plans to have children until they get a girl, but they agree they will not have more than three children, even if all are boys. Assume that the probability of having a girl is 47.00%.

a) Create a probability model for the number of children they'll have.

X=1,2,3

P(X=1)=??

P(X=2)= ??

P(X=30=???

(Round to four decimal places as needed

b) Find the expected number of children.

E(X)= ???

c) Find the expected number of boys they'll have.

Expected number of boys= ???

Solution:

Probability of a girl= 0.47

Probability of a boy= 0.53

a) P(X=1)= 0.47

P(X=2) = 0.47× 0.53= 0.2491

P(X=3)= 0.47× 0.53× 0.53 + 0.53× 0.53× 0.53

= 0.942923

b) E(number of children)= 1× P(X=1) + 2 ×P(X=2) + 3 × (PX=3)

= 3.796969

c) Y: number of boys

P(Y=1)= 0.53×0.47= 0.2491

P(Y=2) = 0.53×0.53×0.47=0.46375

P(Y=3)= 0.53× 0.53× 0.53= 0.148875

E(Y)= P(Y=1)×1 + P(Y=2)×2 + P(Y=3)×3

= 0.148875×3 +0.46375×2+0.2491 ×1

= 1.6232

Algebra, im so confused

By analyzing and understanding the graph of the absolute value function, we find that the function evaluated at the x-value equal to 1 is equal to the y-value equal to 3.

<h3>What is the y-value associated to a given x-value of an absolute value function? </h3>

In this problem we find the representation of an absolute value function, where the horizontal axis corresponds to the values of the domain, whereas the vertical axis is for the values of the range. In that picture we must look up for the y-value associated with a given x-value.

Then, we proceed to evaluate the absolute value function at x = 1. In accordance with the graph, the y-value , that is, from the vertical axis, associated with the x-value, that is, from the horizontal axis, equal to 1 is equal to a value of 3.
