Sock hop (ExH). You have 10 pairs of socks, fi ve black and fi ve blue, but they are not paired up. Instead, they are all mixed

up in a drawer. It ’ s early in the morning, and you don ’ t want to turn on the lights in your dark room. How many socks must you pull out to guarantee that you have a pair of one color? How many must you pull out to have two good pairs (each pair is the same color)? How many must you pull out to be certain you have a pair of black socks?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of pairs of socks in a drawer = 10

Number of black pairs of socks = 5

Number of blue pairs of socks  = 5

A. If you picked 2 socks [black] and [blue] 3rd pick guarantees you will have one pair of either blue or black

Number of socks you pull out to guarantee that you have a pair of one color = 3 socks

B. If you want to pick 2 good pairs and your 6 picks are worst case, so 7th pick of the socks will give you good pair of two colors.

Number of socks you pull out to have two good pairs = 7 socks

C. If you want to have a pair of black socks your worst case will be you pick all 10 blue socks so another 2 socks must be black.

Number of socks you pull out to have two black socks = 12 socks

Monica [59]

Answer:

Answer:

(B)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to construct two equilateral triangles that is one with the side length of 2 inches and the another triangle with side length of 3 inches.

Now, both the triangles are equilateral triangles, thus they have same shape.

Also, both triangles have different side lengths, one having 2 inches and another having 3 inches, thus they have different size.

Hence, the true statement about the two triangles is:

The two triangles are the same shape but not the same size.

Therefore, option B is correct.

A parabola can be drawn given a focus of
Volgvan

Answer:

y=-\frac{1}{4}(x-2)^{2}+9

Step-by-step explanation:

Any point on a given parabola is equidistant from focus and directrix.

Given:

Focus of the parabola is at (2,8).

Directrix of the parabola is y=10.

Let (x,y) be any point on the parabola. Then, from the definition of a parabola,

Distance of (x,y) from focus = Distance of (x,y) from directrix.

Therefore,

\sqrt{(x-2)^{2}+(y-8)^{2}}=|y-10|

Squaring both sides, we get

(x-2)^{2}+(y-8)^{2}=(y-10)^{2}\\(x-2)^{2}=(y-10)^{2}-(y-8)^{2}\\(x-2)^{2}=(y-10+y-8)(y-10-(y-8))...............[\because a^{2}-b^{2}=(a+b)(a-b)]\\(x-2)^{2}=(2y-18)(y-10-y+8)\\(x-2)^{2}=2(y-9)(-2)\\(x-2)^{2}=-4(y-9)\\y-9=-\frac{1}{4}(x-2)^{2}\\y=-\frac{1}{4}(x-2)^{2}+9

Hence, the equation of the parabola is y=-\frac{1}{4}(x-2)^{2}+9.
