You are given the formula
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
You can pick any two points on table
Let’s choose (9,2) and (3,-2)
Plug in the values into formula
m = (-2-2)/(3-9)
m = -4/-6
Simplify: m = 2/3
Solution: m = 2/3
There are 5 solutions for this system.
x^2 + 4y^2 = 100 ____1
4y - x^2 = -20 ____2
Add both 1 & 2 together. x^2 gets cancelled
4y^2 + 4y = 80 (send 80 to the other side and divide by 4)
Then equation the becomes : y^2 + y -20 =0
Now factorise the equation: (y+5) (y-4) = 0
Solve for y : y = -5 and y = 4
Using the values of y to find the values of x. From equation 1:
x^2 = 100 - 4y^2 x = /100 - 4y^2 (/ means square root) Replace values of y
y = -5, x = /100 - 4(-5)^2 = /100 - 100 = 0
y = 4, x = /100 - 4(4)^2 = / 100 - 64 = /36 = -6 or 6
Thus we have 6 solutions y = -5, 4 and x = -6, 0, 6
Assume that each material in each category has an equal chance of being selected.
Categories:
(a) Type of wood used to make the cabinet: birch, maple, cherry.
Each type of wood has a probability of 1/3 to be selected.
(b) Type of finish: transparent, semi-transparent.
Each type of finish has a probability of 1/2 to be selected.
(c) Knob: bronze, steel, wood.
Each material has 1/3 probability to be selected.
Each event (selecting material for the cabinet, for the finish, and for the knob) is an independent event.
Therefore
Probablity(birch wood AND bronze knob) = (1/3)*(1/3) = 1/9
Probability(wood knob) = 1/3
Probability(transparent stain) = 1/2
Probability(cheryy wood AND semi-transparent stain) = (1/3)*(1/2) = 1/6
