Answer: 5p - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Brendan has six less than five times the number of pencils that Riley has.

P = the number of pencils Riley has.

The algebraic expression that represents the number of pencils Brendan has in terms of p, the number of pencils that Riley has would be:

= (5 × p) - 6

= 5p - 6

For example, if Riley has 5 pencils, the number of pencils that Brendan would have would be:

= 5p - 6.

= 5(5) - 6

= 25 - 6

= 19 pencils

F(x) =17x and g(x) = 4x. Find f(x)-g(x) when x=3
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

39

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=17x

f(3)=17(3)

f(x)=51

g(x)=4x

g(3)=4(3)

g(x)=12

f(x)-g(x)

51-12= 39

Please answer a question the images.

The distribution of the animals in the coral reef is an illustration of probability

<h3>The most likely animal</h3>

The distribution of the animals is given as:

Blue fish = 3

Yellow fish = 7

Sea turtle = 1

Eels = 3

The animal with the highest frequency is the most likely animal.

Hence, the Yellow fish is the most likely animal.

<h3>Which is more likely?</h3>

From the question, we have:

Blue fish = 3

Eels = 3

Both animals have the same frequency.

This means that Riley has equal chance of seeing a blue fish and an eel.

<h3>The probability of seeing an animal with fins</h3>

The animal with fins are:

Blue fish = 3

Yellow fish = 7

So, the probability is:

p = \frac{3 + 7}{3 + 7 + 1 + 3}

p = \frac{10}{14}

Simplify

p = \frac 57

Hence, the probability of seeing an animal with fins is 5/7

<h3>The least likely animal</h3>

The animal with the least frequency is:

Sea turtle = 1

So, the likelihood is:

p = \frac 1{14}

Hence, the sea turtle has the least likelihood of 1/14

<h3>Animals with equal likelihood</h3>

The Blue fish and the Eels have the same frequency of 3

This means that animals have equal likelihood

<h3>The probability of seeing each animal</h3>

We have:

Blue fish = 3

Yellow fish = 7

Sea turtle = 1

Eels = 3

Express as probability

Blue fish = 3/14

Yellow fish = 7/14

Sea turtle = 1/14

Eels = 3/14

Express the fractions as decimals

Blue fish = 0.214

Yellow fish = 0.500

Sea turtle = 0.071

Eels = 0.214

So, their likelihoods are:

Blue fish = Equally likely

Yellow fish = Certainly likely

Sea turtle = Unlikely

Eels = Equally likely

Help me please, Find a, b, and c.
Mama L [17]

Answer:

a = 6*\sqrt{3}

b = 12

c = 6\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are right triangles with 60 and 45 degree angles, their side lengths follow special triangles.

A 45-45-90 right triangle has side lengths 1-1-\sqrt{2}.

A 30-60-90 right triangle has side lengths 1 - \sqrt{3} -2.

Starting with the top triangle which has a 60 degree angle, its side length 6 corresponds to a side length of 1 in the special triangle. It is 6 times bigger so its remaining sides will be 6 times bigger too.

Side a corresponds to side length \sqrt{3}. Therefore, a = 6*\sqrt{3}.

Side b corresponds to side length 2, b = 2*6 = 12.

The bottom triangle has a 45 degree angle, its side length b= 12 corresponds to \sqrt{2}. This means \sqrt{2} was multiplied by 12 = \sqrt{2} * \sqrt{72}. This means that side c is \sqrt{72}=6\sqrt{2}.

It is neither one. Division by zero is undefined in math, so if the slope ends up being 5/0, the line has undefined slope.
