The coordinates of the 3 of the vértices of a parallelogram are (-7, 3), (-6, 1), and (-4, 5). What is the equation for the line

containing the side opposite the side containing the first two vertices?

We know, opposite sides are parallelogram is parallel, therefore slopes are equal.

Slope of line one :

m=\dfrac{-7-(-6)}{3-1}\\\\m =\dfrac{-1}{2}\\\\m= -0.5

So, equation of other line passing through (-4,5) and have slope of -0.5 is :

y-5 = -0.5( x-(-4))

y-5 = -0.5x - 2

y  + 1/2x = 3

2y + x = 6

Therefore, equation of line containing the (-4, 5) is 2y + x = 6.

Hence, this is the required solution.

X+y+z=1
andrezito [222]

Answer: x = 0

y = 2

z = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of equations are

x+y+z=1 - - - - - - - - - - 1

-2x+4y+6z=2 - - - - - - - - - 2

-x+3y-5z=11 - - - - - - - - - 3

Step 1

We would eliminate x by adding equation 1 to equation 3. It becomes

4y -4z = 12 - - - - - - - - - 4

Step 2

We would multiply equation 1 by 2. It becomes

2x + 2y + 2z = 2 - - - - - - - - - 5

We would add equation 2 and equation 5. It becomes

6y + 8z = 4 - - - - - - - - - 6

Step 3

We would multiply equation 4 by 6 and equation 6 by 4. It becomes

24y - 24z = 72 - - - - - - - - 7

24y + 32z = 16 - - - - - - - - 8

We would subtract equation 8 from equation 7. It becomes

-56z = 56

z = -56/56 = -1

Substituting z = -1 into 7, it becomes

24y - 24×-1 = 72

24y + 24 = 72

24y = 72 - 24 = 48

y = 48/24 = 2

Substituting y = 2 and z = -1 into equation 1, it becomes

x + 2 - 1 = 1

x = 1 - 1 = 0

At a raffle, 1500 tickets are sold at $2 each. There are four prizes given for $500, $250, $150, and $75. You buy one ticket. Us
wolverine [178]

Answer:

<u>The expected value of every ticket is a loss of $ 1.35</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:

Number of tickets sold at the raffle = 1,500

Price of each ticket = $ 2

Total prizes = 1 * $ 500 + 1 * $ 250 + 1 * $ 150 + 1 * $ 75

2. Use a probability distribution table to calculate the expected value of your gain. Your expected value is_____ ?

Let's answer the question using a probability distribution for the gains, this way:

  • Probability of 1st prize of $ 498 (500 - ticket) = 1/1,500
  • Probability of 2nd prize of $ 248 (250 - ticket) = 1/1,500
  • Probability of 3rd prize of $ 148 (150 - ticket) = 1/1,500
  • Probability of 4th prize of $ 73 (75 - ticket) = 1/1,500
  • Probability of losing $ 2 (ticket) = 1,496/1,500

Now, we calculate the mean for all the tickets (winners and non-winners), this way:

Expected value = [(1,496 * -2) + (1 * 498) + (1 * 248) + ( 1 * 148) + ( 1 * 73)]/1,500

Expected value = [- 2,992 +498 + 248 + 148 + 73)/1,500

Expected value = -2,025/1,500 = - 1,35

<u>The expected value of every ticket is a loss of $ 1.35</u>

What is 12t-8t combind
kogti [31]

Answer:

Simplifying

12t + -8t = 0

Combine like terms: 12t + -8t = 4t

4t = 0

Solving

4t = 0

Solving for variable 't'.

Move all terms containing t to the left, all other terms to the right.

Divide each side by '4'.

t = 0

Simplifying

t = 0
