a. If sea level is represented by 0, then something below sea level would be a value of something less than zero, a negative number. Because the Challenger Deep is 35,814 feet below sea level, it will be represented by -35,814.

b. Trieste is trying to reach the bottom of the challenger deep, which is y, and descending the ocean at -3 feet per second. So the equation would be like this

-35,814 = -3x

We are just looking for x. Notice how both number values are negative so the time it would take Trieste to reach the bottom would be a positive value.

-35,814 divided by -3 = 11938, so it would take 11938 seconds to reach the bottom.

c. <em>y</em> and <em>x</em> would be used in the same context as it would just now. Except that Trieste is coming up to the surface, so the depth of the Challenger Deep is positive.

35814 = k * 11938

k = 3, the amount of time it took to reach the surface in hours.

Hope this helps!

What is the equation of the parabola with vertex (-2,5) and an x-intercept of x = 3
Maslowich

Step-by-step explanation:

if parabola has a vertex not in x-axis, it should have 2 x intercept

x-vertex = -2

first x intercept = 3

second x intercept should -7

so the equation will like this

y = a(x-x1)(x-x2)

y = a (x-3)(x+7)

y = a(x² + 4x - 21)

5 = a((-2)² + 4(-2) - 21)

5 = a(4 - 8 - 21)

5 = a(-25)

a = 5/(-25)

a = -1/5

then the equation is

y = (-1/5)(x² - 4x - 21)

or you can write as

y = -x²/5 + 4x/5 + 21/5

or as this one

5y = -x² + 4x + 21

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

In a certain Algebra 2 class of 30 students, 22 of them play basketball and 18 of them play baseball. There are 3 students who play neither sport. What is the probability that a student chosen randomly from the class plays both basketball and baseball?

I know how to calculate the probability of students play both basketball and baseball which is 1330 because 22+18+3=43 and 43−30 will give you the number of students plays both sports.

But how would you find the probability using the formula P(A∩B)=P(A)×p(B)?

Thank you for all of the help.

That formula only works if events A (play basketball) and B (play baseball) are independent, but they are not in this case, since out of the 18 players that play baseball, 13 play basketball, and hence P(A|B)=1318<2230=P(A) (in other words: one who plays basketball is less likely to play basketball as well in comparison to someone who does not play baseball, i.e. playing baseball and playing basketball are negatively (or inversely) correlated)

So: the two events are not independent, and so that formula doesn't work.

Fortunately, a formula that does work (always!) is:

P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)−P(A∩B)

Hence:

P(A∩B)=P(A)+P(B)−P(A∪B)=2230+1830−2730=1330
