Answer:

x = 5

y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the scale is 2, the side of x needs to 4 because the corresponding side on the other figure is 2 (2 * 2 = 4).

So, x - 1 = 4

x = 5

Similar to the y side, the y side needs to be 10.

So, y + 1 = 10

y = 9

what is the degree of the polynomial ? what is the leading coefficient ? describe the end behavior of each function. f(x)=x^4-2x

Verizon [17]

Answer:

4th degree polynomial with leading coefficient of 1.

As x goes to negative or positive infinity, y goes to positive infinity in both cases.

Step-by-step explanation:

The degree of a polynomial is the highest exponent on the variable. Here it is 4.

The leading coefficient is the coefficient on the the term with the highest degree, Here there is none so it is 1.

The end behavior is how x and y behave at negative and positive infinity. When graphed, this equation has a W shape. This means at each end y goes to positive infinity.

if the probability that the islanders will beat the rangers in a game is 0.44,what is the probability that the islanders will wi

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

30.91% probability that the islanders will win exactly one out of four games in a series against the rangers

Step-by-step explanation:

For each game, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the Islanders win, or they do not. The probability of the Islanders winning a game is independent of other games. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
