Answer:

3 peanut cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Plate 1:

Number of chocolate chip = 4

Number of peanut butter cookies = 1

Probability of drawing chocolate chip cookies from plate 1 :

Probability =( number of required outcome / Total possible outcomes)

P(chocolate chip) = 4 / 5

Plate 2:

Number of chocolate chip = 2

Number of peanut butter cookies = p

P(chocolate chip) = 2 / (2 + p)

Probability of drawing chocolate chip from plate 1 and then plate 2 = 8/ 25

(4/5) * 2/(2+p) = 8/ 25

8 / (10 + 5p) = 8/ 25

8(10 + 5p) = 8 * 25

80 + 40p = 200

40p = 200 - 80

40p = 120

p = 3

Rewrite the expression in the form y^n
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

$ y^6 $

Step-by-step explanation:

$ \frac{a^b}{a^c} = a^{b - c} $

Using this rule we have:

$ \frac{y^{-7}}{y^{-13}}  = y^{-7 -(-13)} = y^6$

What is the effect on the graph f(x) = 1/x when it is transformed to g(x) = 1/x + 15?
kompoz [17]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

It is shifted 15 units up. Think of how you're solving for y, and by adding 15 to the equation, y increases by 15. If y increases by 15 the graph shifts up by 15. Hope that helps.
