Answer: Alligators
Step-by-step explanation: This entire paper is just about combining like terms.
I won't go too in depth about it since it's self-explanatory, but I'll explain it just a bit. Like terms are two terms that have the same variable. For example, 19 and 24 are like terms since they are both numbers. 15x and 18x are like terms since they are both the same variables. 2y and 5y are like terms since they are both the same variables. However, 3x and 4y are NOT like terms, they do not have the same variable.
Also, variables that have different exponential powers are also not like terms. For example, 5x^2 and 7x are not like terms as one is squares and one is to the 1st power. Similarly, 3x^3 is not the same variable as 2x^4.
When you have 5x and -2x, you subtract 5x and 2x. Thus, the combination would be 3x. When you have -4x - 2x, you would get -6x, and if you have -4x + 2x, you would get -2x.
What you were supposed to do is simplify the equations by combining like terms, and then crossing off the letters that correspond to what you have left in the expression. The remaining letters should spell out a joke.
Attached below I have provided the correct answer.
Hope this helped.
Answer:
a. 1/16 which is 6.2500%
b. 15/16 which is 93.7500%
Step-by-step explanation:
a. For each 'coin toss' the probability of getting tails is 1/2. If you toss the coin 4 times, the probability of getting tails all times is 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/16.
b. This one is a bit trickier.
When flipping four coins, you either could get all four heads or you could get at least one tail. Both events cannot happen at the same time. This means the two events are complementary.
Complementary events occur when there are only two outcomes, for example passing an exam or passing an exam. The complement means the exact opposite of an event.
Complementary probabilities always add to 1.
We saw in part (a) that the probability you get all tails is 6.25% or 1/16.
0.0625 was the probability of getting all four heads, so 0.9375 is the probability of anything else (getting one or more tails).
The decimal 0.9375 converts to the fraction 15/16.
The probability is 93.75%.
Answer:
Slope is 9 and -2 is the y-intercept
Step-by-step explanation:
As an equation in slope-intercept form is written as y=mx+b where m is slope and b is its intercept on the y-axis.
If one writes a linear equation as a function of y, one can easily get slope which is coefficient of x and intercept, which is constant term.
As y= -9x is already in this form, we have its slope as -9 and intercept on y-axis is 0, that is if it passes through the line of origin.
