x^2-16 factors to (x-4)(x+4)

You use the difference of squares rule here which is

a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)

Consider rolling two fair dice one 3-sided the other 5-sided
Ne4ueva [31]

Since the dice are fair and the rolling are independent, each single outcome has probability 1/15. Every time we choose

1\leq x\leq 3,\quad 1\leq y \leq 5

We have P(X=x)=\frac{1}{3} and P(Y=y)=\frac{1}{5}, because the dice are fair.

Now we use the assumption of independence to claim that

P(X=x, Y=y) = P(X=x)\cdot P(Y=y) =\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot\dfrac{1}{5} = \dfrac{1}{15}

Now, we simply have to count in how many ways we can obtain every possible outcome for the sum. Consider the attached table: we can see that we can obtain:

  • 2 in a unique way (1+1)
  • 3 in two possible ways (1+2, 2+1)
  • 4 in three possible ways
  • 5 in three possible ways
  • 6 in three possible ways
  • 7 in two possible ways
  • 8 in a unique way

This implies that the probabilities of the outcomes of W=X+Y are the number of possible ways divided by 15: we can obtain 2 and 8 with probability 1/15, 3 and 7 with probability 2/15, and 4, 5 and 6 with probabilities 3/15=1/5

PLEASE HELP 7TH GRADE 100 PTS!!!
MariettaO [177]

f(x) = 5x is linear. Just a straight line with a slope of +5. So if the intervals are both a difference of 1, then the average rate of change will be the same.

f(x2) - f(x1) over x2 - x1. That's the formula for average rate of change.

So for Section A:

f(x) = 5x, (0,1)

[f(1) - f(0)]/(1-0)

= [5(1) - 5(0)]/1

=(5)/1

=5

Do the same for section B and you'll get 5 as well.

I hope this helps you because I have no clue if my answer is right
