Answer:

1.8% or 1.818181%

Step-by-step explanation:

If in a batch of 440 water purifiers, we find 8 to be defective.

Then the probability of the next purifier being defective is 8/440

In percentage = 8/440 * 100

=> 8/44 * 10

=> 8/22 * 5

=> 40/22

=> 20 / 11

20/11 is roughly 1.8181818

Rounding it to the nearest tenth, we get 1.8%

If my answer helped, kindly mark me as the brainliest!!

Thank You!!

Do the questions that are circled also GCF stands for greatest common factor

I’m not sure how your class works, but usually if they are circled it means you only have to do the circled ones. GCF always stands for greatest common factor

The equation of line AB is y = 5x + 1. Write an equation of a line parallel to line AB in slope-intercept form that contains poi
Zolol [24]

Answer:

The equation of the line y= 5x+1. Line that is parallel to the function given should have the same slope as the equation which is 5. We use the point-slope form in order to find the second equation that contains the point (4,5).

y - 5 = 5(x-4)

y = 5x - 20 +5

y≈ 5x -15

Solve for x using the Quadratic Formula: x2 + 4x + 4 = 0<br> -b + Vb2 - 4ac<br> x=<br> 2a
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

x = -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, a is 1, b is 4 and c is 4.

-4 plus or minus the square root of 4^2 - 4 * 1 * 4 divided by 2 * 1 = -4 plus or minus the square root of 16 - 16 / 2 = -4 plus or minus the square root of 0 / 2 = -4 / 2 = -2.

x = -2.

Hope this helps!
