Answer:

The probability that Kelly will place 1st and Andy will place 2nd is 1/90, or 1.11%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Kelly Slater and Andy Irons are in a surf competition among 10 competitors, to determine, if all surfers are at an equal surfing level, then what is the probability that Kelly will place 1st and Andy will place 2nd, the following calculation must be performed:

1/10 x 1/9 = X

0.1 x 0.11 = X

0.01111 = X

1/90 = 0.011111 = X

Therefore, the probability that Kelly will place 1st and Andy will place 2nd is 1/90, or 1.11%.

mylen [45]

A linear pair is a pair of angles that form a line. When added, they will equal 180.

< EFG + < GFH = 180
5n + 20 + 3n + 16 = 180
8n + 36 = 180
8n = 180 - 36
8n = 144
n = 144/8
n = 18

< EFG = 5n + 20.....5(18) + 20 = 110 <==
< GFH = 3n + 16.....3(18) + 16 = 70 <==

Answer:

$y+4 = -\frac{1}{3} (x-1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, find the slope of the line. Use the slope formula $m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ to find the slope. Substitute the x and y values of the given points into the formula and solve:

$m = \frac{(-5)-(-4)}{(4)-(1)} \\m = \frac{-5+4}{4-1} \\m = \frac{-1}{3}$

So, the slope is $-\frac{1}{3}$ .

2) Use the point-slope formula $y-y_1 = m (x-x_1)$ to write the equation of the line in point-slope form. Substitute values for $m$ , $x_1$ , and $y_1$ into the formula.

Since $m$ represents the slope, substitute $-\frac{1}{3}$ in its place. Since $x_1$ and $y_1$ represent the x and y values of one point on the line, choose any one of the given points (it doesn't matter which one) and substitute the x and y values of it into the formula. (I chose (1,-4), as seen below). This gives the equation of the line in point-slope form.

$y-(-4) = -\frac{1}{3} (x-(1))\\y+4 = -\frac{1}{3} (x-1)$

Solve seven square root three plus two square root nine and explain whether the answer is rational or irrational.

Leona [35]

Answer:

Option D. is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that x = seven square root three plus two square root nine

i.e. x = 7√3 + 2√9

⇒ x = 7√3 + 2 × 3 {Since 9 = 3²}

⇒ x = 7√3 + 6

Here, 7√3 is an irrational number and 6 is a rational number.

The answer is seven square root of three plus six is irrational because the sum of a rational number and an irrational number is an irrational number.

Therefore, option D. is correct.
