The asymptote cannot be x= because x can be any number. If you think about it, you can take a number to any exponent.
If x is a positive exponent, y is positive.
If x is a nevative exponent, y decreases, but is still positive. This is because a number to a negative exponent equals 1 over the number to the positive exponent. Thus, it is smaller, but still positive.
If x is 0, y is positive again because anything to the zero is positive 1.
There is no way y could be less than or equal to zero. So, there is an asymptote at y=0.
Also, set the equation equal to 0 and solve. You should end up with 4^x=0. Since no exponenent can make a number zero, this isn't possible, so y cannot equal zero.
Here is the graph for a visual:

You roll two fair dice, one green and one red. (a) Are the outcomes on the dice independent? Yes No (b) Find P(1 on green die an

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Yes

$P(1 \& 5) = \frac{1}{36}$

$P(5 \& 1) = \frac{1}{36}$

$P(5 \& 1 | 1\& 5 ) = \frac{1}{18}$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

Two fair dice, one green and one red were rolled

Generally the outcomes on the dice independent because the outcome on the first dice is not affected by the second die

Generally the probability of getting a 1 on a dice rolled is $P(1) = \frac{1}{6}$

the probability of getting a 5 on a dice rolled is $P(5) = \frac{1}{6}$

Generally the probability of P(1 on green die and 5 on red die) is mathematically represented as

$P(1 \& 5) = \frac{1}{6} *\frac{1}{6}$

$P(1 \& 5) = \frac{1}{36}$

Generally the probability of P(5 on green die and 1 on red die) is mathematically represented as

$P(5 \& 1) = \frac{1}{6} *\frac{1}{6}$

$P(5 \& 1) = \frac{1}{36}$

Generally the probability of P((1 on green die and 5 on red die) or (5 on green die and 1 on red die)) is mathematically represented as

$P(5 \& 1 | 1\& 5 ) = \frac{1}{36} + \frac{1}{36}$

$P(5 \& 1 | 1\& 5 ) = \frac{1}{18}$

Answer:

Option 3

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the same reason that Pythagorean's Theorem works. The area made up of the X and Y Regions (the squares of the two legs of the triangle) is equal to Region Z (the square of the hypotenuse)

The score on a trivia game is obtained by subtracting the number of incorrect answers from twice the number of correct answers.

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer: the player answered 30 questions correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of questions that the player answered correctly.

Let y represent the number of questions that the player answered incorrectly.

The number of questions that the player answered is 40. It means that

x + y = 40- - - - - - - - - - -1

The score on the trivia game is obtained by subtracting the number of incorrect answers from twice the number of correct answers. If the player obtained a score of 50, It means that

2x - y = 50

y = 2x - 50

Substituting y = 2x - 50 into equation 1, it becomes

x + 2x - 50 = 40

3x - 50 = 40

3x = 40 + 50 = 90

x = 90/3

x = 30
