The point-slope form:
We have the point (4, -6) and the slope m = 3/5. Substitute:
Probability of rolling a sum of 9 or a sum that is even from two number cubes is
11/18
Explanation:
When a dice is rolled there are different ways in which
9. can be obtained, which are (3,6) or (4,5) or (5,4) or (6,3). 4 options. As in all there are
6⋅6=36 options, probability is 4/36 or 1/9.
For getting an even number as sum, we can have (1,1) or (1.3) or (1,5) or (2,2) or (2,4) or (2,6) or (3,1) or (3,3) or (3,5) or (4,2) or (4,4) or (4,6) or (5,1) or (5,3) or (5,5) or (6,2) or (6,4) or (6,6) 18 options, probability is 18/36 or 1/2.
Note that the two events (getting 9 or even sum) are mutually exclusive, the probabilities can be just added i.e. combined probability is
1/9+1/2=2+9/18i.e. 11/18
Answer: 15e^5x
Step - by - step
y=3e^5x - 2
By the sum rule, the derivative of 3e^5x - 2 with respect to x is d/dx [ 3e^5x ] + d/dx [-2].
d/dx [ 3e^5x ] + d/dx [ -2 ]
Evalute d/dx [ 3e^5x ]
Since 3 is constant with respect to x , the derivative of 3e^5x with respect to x is
3 d/dx [ e^5x ].
3 d/dx [ e^5x ] + d/dx [ -2 ]
Differentiate using the chain rule, which states that d/dx [ f(g(x))] is f' (g(x)) g' (x) where f(x) = e^x and g(x) = 5x.
To apply the Chain Rule, set u as 5x.
3 ( d/du [ e^u] d/dx [5x] ) + d/dx [ -2]
Differentiate using the Exponential rule which states that d/du [ a^u ] is a^u ln(a) where a=e.
3( e^u d/dx[5x] ) + d/dx [ -2 ]
Replace
3(e^5x d/dx [5x] ) + d/dx [ -2 ]
3(e^5x( 5 d/dx [x] )) + d/dx [ -2 ]
Diffentiate using the Power Rule which states that d/dx [x^n] is nx^n-1 where n=1.
3(e^5x(5*1)) + d/dx [-2]
3 ( e^5x * 5 ) + d/dx [-2]
Multiply 5 by 3
15e^5x + d/dx [-2]
Since -2 is constant with respect to x, the derivative of -2 with respect to x is 0.
15e^5x + 0
15e^5x
J is correct. the scale is balanced, so x = 1. there are 9 1’s on the right, and 6 1’s on the left. there are 3 more blocks, and they would have to each be 1.
The general form of the equation we need to find is (x - h)^2 = 4p(y- k).
The center is the distance between the directrix and focus.
So, center (h, k) = (3, 3/2) .
P = distance from center to the focus and it just so happens to be 1.5.
We now plug everything into the formula given above.
(x - 3)^2 = 4(1.5)(y - 3/2)
(x - 3)^2 = 6(y - 3/2)
Done!
