Answer:

x = 32

y = 51

m∠N = 14°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

ΔMNP ≅ ΔTUS

By the property of similarity,

MN ≅ TU, NP ≅ US and MP ≅ TS

m∠M = m∠T = 142°,

m∠N = m∠U = (2x - 50)°

m∠P = m∠S = 24°

Since, m∠N = [180°- (m∠M + m∠P)]

(2x - 50) = 180 - (142 + 24)

2x - 50 = 14

2x = 64 ⇒ x = 32

Since, NP = US,

2x - y = 13

2(32) - y = 13

64 - y = 13

y = 51

m∠N = 180° - (142 + 24)°

= 14°

F(x, y) = 4x + 7y - 6, please find the value of f(5,-5).

ohaa [14]

f(x, y) = 4x + 7y - 6

substitute x=5 and y=-5

f(5,-5) = 4(5) + 7(-5) - 6

f(5,-5) =20-35-6

= -15-6

At the start of the year, 15 chameleons were introduced into a zoo. The population of chameleons is expected to grow at a rate o

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

option-B

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

At the start of the year, 15 chameleons were introduced into a zoo

so, $P_0=15$

The population of chameleons is expected to grow at a rate of 41.42% every year

so, r=0.4142

and x represents the number of years since the chameleons were introduced into the zoo

now, we can set equation to find total population

and we get

$P(x)=P_0(1+r)^x$

now, we can plug values

$P(x)=15(1+0.4142)^x$

$P(x)=15(1.4142)^x$

Average rate of change between 2 years and 4 years:

we can use formula

$A_1=\frac{P(4)-P(2)}{4-2}$

now, we can plug values

$A_1=\frac{15(1.4142)^{4}-15(1.4142)^{2}}{4-2}$

$A_1=14.99914$

Average rate of change between 4 years and 6 years:

we can use formula

$A_2=\frac{P(6)-P(4)}{6-4}$

now, we can plug values

$A_2=\frac{15(1.4142)^{6}-15(1.4142)^{4}}{6-4}$

$A_2=29.99770$

Average rate of change between 6 years and 8 years:

we can use formula

$A_3=\frac{P(8)-P(6)}{8-6}$

now, we can plug values

$A_3=\frac{15(1.4142)^{8}-15(1.4142)^{6}}{8-6}$

$A_3=59.99425$

now, we will check each options

option-A:

we can see that

$A_3-A_2=30$

So, this is FALSE

option-B:

$A_1=\frac{1}{2}A_2$

So, this is TRUE

option-C:

This is FALSE

option-D:

we got

$A_1=\frac{1}{2}A_2$

so, this is FALSE

What is the probability of rolling a dice twice and getting a six?

Mekhanik [1.2K]

$\huge \boxed{ \fcolorbox{black}{aqua}{Answer}}$

There are a total of 6 x 6 = 36 possible outcomes when a fair die is rolled twice. Of the 36 possible outcomes, there are 6 doubles: 1-1, 2-2, 3-3, 4-4, 5-5, and 6-6. Thus, the probability of getting a double is 6/36 = 1/6.
