In similar triangles ratios of corresponding sides are constant, so
|AB|/|DE| = |BC|/|EF|
5/10 = 8/|EF|
|EF| = (8*10)/5 = 16
|EF| = 16
Answer / Step-by-step explanation:
In this exercise, we know that the agency collected 1,829 bullets which according to the agency, all came from different source.
The number of pair of bullet is :
(1,829) = 1, 829 ! / 2! ( 1,829 - 2 ) = 1, 829 x 1,828 x 1827 ! / 2 x 1 x 1,827
( 2 )
= 6, 108,413,724 / 3654
= 1671,706.
Also, we know that the agency found 658 matches. According to this, the chance of false positive ( that is, the agencies find a match but the bullets are from two different source ) is
P (False positive ) = 658 / 671,706
= 0.000979.
The probability is small to an extent, therefore, we should have confidence in the agency forensic report and evidence
It is definitely a reflection over the horizontal (x) axis, but i think the dilation is by 2
Answer:
y = -4x² + 32x - 48
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard form of a quadratic equation is
y = ax² + bx + c
We must find the equation that passes through the points:
(2, 0), (6,0), and (3, 12)
We can substitute these values and get three equations in three unknowns.
0 = a(2²) + b(2) + c
0 = a(6²) + b(6) + c
12 = a(3²) + b(3) + c
We can simplify these to get the system of equations:
(1) 0 = 4a + 2b + c
(2) 0 = 36a + 6b + c
(3) 12 = 9a + 3b + c
Eliminate c from equations (1) and (2). Subtract (1) from (2).
(4) 0 = 32a + 4b
Eliminate c from equations (2) and (3). Subtract (3) from (2).
(5) -12 = 27a - 3b
Simplify equations (4) and (5).
(6) 0 = 8a + b
(7) -4 = 9a - b
Eliminate b by adding equations (6) and (7).
(8) a = -4
Substitute (4) into (6).
0 = -32 + b
(9) b = 32
Substitute a and b into (1)
0 = 4(-4) + 2(32) + c
0 = -16 + 64 + c
0 = 48 + c
c = -48
The coefficients are
a= -4, b = 32, c = -48
The quadratic equation is
y = -4x² + 32x - 48
The diagram below shows the graph of your quadratic equation and the three points through which it passes.
