Answer:

math = 87

physics = 168

<em>Brainliest, please!</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Variables:

m = math, p = physics

Equations:

m + p = 255

m = p - 81

Substitution:

m + p = 255

(p - 81) + p = 255

2p - 81 = 255

2p = 336

p = 168

Solving for m:

m + p = 255

m + 168 = 255

m = 255 - 168

m = 87

Checking with the other equation:

m = p - 81

87 = 168 - 81

87 = 87

So, math = 87 and physics = 168

Area of ice rink is 404 sq yes what is perimeter
ololo11 [35]
Ok, since the ice rink is a square (which has equal sides) if you multiply 404 times four because a square has 4 sides which is equal to 1616 the perimiter is 1616 sqf

404*4= 1616      p= 1616sq

Find the probability of each event.
jeka57 [31]

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.0108 = 1.08% probability of the coin landing tails up at least nine times.

<h3>What is the binomial distribution formula?</h3>

The formula is:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes.
  • n is the number of trials.
  • p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem:

  • The coin is fair, hence p = 0.5.
  • The coin is tossed 10 times, hence n = 10.

The probability that is lands tails up at least nine times is given by:

P(X \geq 9) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)

In which:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.5)^{9}.(0.5)^{1} = 0.0098

P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.5)^{10}.(0.5)^{0} = 0.001

Hence:

P(X \geq 9) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.0098 + 0.001 = 0.0108

0.0108 = 1.08% probability of the coin landing tails up at least nine times.

Find the inverse of each given functions.<br> f(x) = 4x − 12
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

y=1/4x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse, switch x and y or f(x)

f(x)=4x-12

y=4x-12

x=4y-12

Add 12 to both sides

x+12=4y-12+12

x+12=4y

Divide both sides by 4

x+12/4=y

1/4x+12/4=y

1/4x+3=y

y=1/4x+3
