Answer:
60%
Step-by-step explanation:
Total Cards = 5
Even Numbers = 3
P(even) = 3/5
<u><em>In %age:</em></u>
=> 60%
Ok, basically if you want to find when both equations are equal just make them equal to each other. 0.925x^2 - 4x + 20 = -1.125x^2 + 6x + 40.
From there use algebraic steps to find out what x is ( the break - even point ).
0.925x^2 - 4x + 20 = -1.125x^2 + 6x + 40
0.855625x - 4x + 20 = 1.265625x + 6x + 40
-0.41x - 4x + 20 = 6x + 40
-4.41x + 20 = 6x + 40
20 = 10.41x + 40
-20 = 10.41x
-1.92122958694 = x
Rounded to the nearest tenth it's -1.9 = x.

Answer:
1845 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Decay of Carbon-14 is usually modeled by an exponential function. It x is the number of years since the original amount was brought into existence, then the fraction remaining (y) is modeled by ...
... y = (1/2)^(x/5730)
We want to find the value of x when y = 80% = 0.80. The equation is then ...
... 0.80 = 0.50^(x/5730)
Taking logarithms, we get
... log(0.80) = (x/5730)·log(0.50)
Multiplying by the inverse of the coefficient of x, we have
... x = 5730·log(0.80)/log(0.50) ≈ 1845 . . . . years
The y-intercept is the point at which the graph crosses the y-axis. At this point, the x-coordinate is zero. To determine the x-intercept, we set y equal to zero and solve for x. Similarly, to determine the y-intercept, we set x equal to zero and solve for y.
Explanation:
Start with 9 negative chips, for a value of -9.
Take away (subtract) 4 of the negative chips. This is modeling - (-4).
You will be left with 5 negative chips.
-9 - (-4) = -5

Each negative chip in this scenario models -1. The actions you're doing with the chips are full equivalent to the actions you would do for the subtraction problem 9 - 4 = 5, except that the numbers (chips) are negative, not positive.
