Colt1911 [192]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

C) 8

Step-by-step explanation:

-5(a+3)=-55

a+3=-55/-5

a+3=11

a=11-3

a=8

If f(x) = 16x – 30 and g(x) = 14x – 6, for which value of x does (f – g)(x) = 0?
Kay [80]

(f – g)(x) = 0

16x-30 -(14x-6) =0

distribute

16x-30 -14x+6 = 0

combine like terms

2x-24=0

add 24 to each side

2x=24

divide by 2

x=12

Answer: x=12

What is the value of x? Please explain the step process to getting to the conclusion.
olga55 [171]

First, split the triangle into half.

So the angle 38 becomes 38/2=19.

So we know two angles in the triangle:

One is 19 degrees.

The other one is 90 degrees (marked red).

The angles in a right-angled triangle add up to 180 degrees.

So to find the x angle, we calculate it by:

180 - (90+19) = 71

(the sum of three angles) - (the sum of the two known angles) = unknown angle

So x = 71 degrees.

Suppose that the probability that any particle emitted by a radioactive material will penetrate a certain shield is 0.01. If 10
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

a)P=0.42

b) n\geq 297

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a binomial distribution, since the result of each experiment admits only two categories (success and failure) and the value of both possibilities is constant in all experiments. The probability of getting k successes in n trials is given by:

P=\begin{pmatrix}n\\ k\end{pmatrix} p^k(1-p)^{n-k}=\frac{n!}{k!(n!-k!)}p^k(1-p)^{n-k}

a) we have k=2, n=10 and p=0.01:

P=\frac{10!}{2!(10!-2!)}0.01^2(1-0.01)^{10-2}\\P=\frac{10!}{2!*8!}0.01^2(0.99)^{8}\\P=45*0.01^2(0.99)^8=0.42

b) We have, 1-(1-p)^n=P, Here P is the probability that at least one particle will penetrate the shield, this probabity has to be equal or greater than 0.95. Therefore, this will be equal to subtract from the total probability, the probability that the particles do not penetrate raised to the total number of particles.

1-0.99^n\geq 0.95\\0.99^n\leq 1-0.95\\0.99^n\leq 0.05\\n\geq 297

What is the slope OF THE GRAPH, not what is A slope, what is THE slope
PtichkaEL [24]

You can find the slope either by just looking at the line or using the slope formula.

#1: The slope formula is:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}       Find two points and plug it into the formula

I will use (0, 2) and (1, -1)

(0, 2) = (x₁, y₁)

(1, -1) = (x₂, y₂)

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m = \frac{2-(-1)}{0-1}   [two negatives cancel each other out and become positive]

m=\frac{2+1}{-1} =\frac{3}{-1}

m = -3

#2: To find the slope without having to do the work, you use this:

m=\frac{rise}{run}

Rise is the number of units you go up(+) or down(-) from each point

Run is the number of units you go to the right from each point

If we start at a defined/obvious point, like (0, 2), find the next point and see how many units it goes up or down and to the right. The next point is (1, -1), so from each point, you go down 3 units and to the right 1 unit. So your slope is -3/1 or -3. You can make sure the slope is right by looking at another point.
