Answer:
558
Step-by-step explanation:
Let p represent the student population at Edison Jr High. Then we know ...
(4/9)p = 248 . . . . . 248 students is 4/9 of the student population
p = 248(9/4) = 558 . . . multiply the equation by 9/4
558 students attend Edison Jr. High.
Answer:
x = 1 or x = -3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x over the real numbers:
2 x^2 + x - 3 = 0
The left hand side factors into a product with two terms:
(x - 1) (2 x + 3) = 0
Split into two equations:
x - 1 = 0 or 2 x + 3 = 0
Add 1 to both sides:
x = 1 or 2 x + 3 = 0
Subtract 3 from both sides:
x = 1 or 2 x = -3
Divide both sides by 2:
Answer: x = 1 or x = -3/2
Answer:
Yes; Opposite sides are congruent, and diagonals are congruent.
Step-by-step explanation:
we have

we know that
the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to
step 1
Find the length of the sides
<u><em>Find the distance AB</em></u>
substitute the values
<u><em>Find the distance BC</em></u>
substitute the values
<u><em>Find the distance CD</em></u>
substitute the values
<u><em>Find the distance AD</em></u>
substitute the values
Compare the length sides
AB=CD
BC=AD
therefore
Opposite sides are congruent
step 2
Find the length of the diagonals
<u><em>Find the distance AC</em></u>
substitute the values

<u><em>Find the distance BD</em></u>
substitute the values

Compare the length of the diagonals
AC=BD
therefore
Diagonals are congruent
The figure is a rectangle, because Opposite sides are congruent, and diagonals are congruent
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We can think of the 10 pairs of gloves as simply being gloves of different colors. Picking no matching pair is the same as picking no 2 gloves of the same color. To compute the probability of doing so, we can compute the number of ways to select 8 gloves from different colors, and divide that by the total number of ways to select 8 random gloves out of the 20 gloves.
To compute the number of ways in which we can select 8 gloves from different colors, we can think of the choosing procedure as follows:
1st step- We choose from which 8 colors are we going to pick gloves from. So we have to pick 8 out of 10 colors. This can be done in
ways.
2nd step - We now have to choose which glove are we going to pick from each of the chosen colors. Either the left one or the right one. For the first chosen color we have 2 choices, for the second chosen color we have 2 choices, for the third chosen color we have 2 choices, and so on. Therefore the number of ways in which we could choose gloves from the chosen colors is 
And so the total number of ways in which we could choose 8 gloves from different colors is

Now, the total numer of ways in which we could choose 8 gloves out of the 20 gloves is simply 
So the probability of picking no mathing pair is
