A coal car on a train weighs 30 tons plus 1 ton per cubic yard of coal x that it carries. The total weight of a coal car is: f(x

) = x + 30. How will the graph of this function change if the coal car weight is changed to 26 tons?

Answer:

See explanations below

Step-by-step explanation:

In the function

f(x) = x + 30

x represents the volume of coal in cubic yards.

The implicit coefficient of one, i.e. 1x, represents each cubic yard of coal weighs one ton.

The 30 represents the weight in tons of the empty coal car.

Thus when the weight of the coal car is only 26 tons, we replace 30 by 26 to get a new function

f(x) = x + 26.

1) Solve the system by elimination?
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

1) (-6,-9)

times the top equation buy -4 so you cancel out the y

so it be -8x+4y=12 no cancel out the y's

so it be -8x=12 and 5x=6

now combined like terms to get -3x= 36

x = -6 now go plug that back in one of the equations to get y

y = -9

2) (-2,-5)

now on this one you going to substitute y= (2x-1) for y in the otheir eqaution

so it look like 3x-(2x-1)=-1

do your combining of like terms and your division & you get x = -2

now plug x in to y=2x-1 to get y = -5

In the figure LMV is similar to UTK. what's the value of x the length of side LM?​
Kipish [7]

To solve this problem, all we need to do is just set up a proportion. The two shapes are similar, which means that they are the same shape, but different sizes. Using the wording/letter arrangement in the problem, we can figure out which side of one triangle corresponds to which side of the other triangle.

Triangle LMV (with segments LM, MV, and VL) is similar to triangle UTK (with segments UT, TK, and KU).

Corresponding pairs:

LM(x) : UT(39)

MV(30) : TK(65)

VL : KU

However, we need only be interested in the first two pairs. Here is the proportion with letters:

LM / UT = MV / TK

and as numbers:

x / 39 = 30 / 65

Solve for x:

x / 39 = 30 / 65

Cross multiply:

(x)(65) = (39)(30)

Simplify:

65x = 1170

Divide:

65x/65 = 1170 / 65

Simplify:

x = 18

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The length of side LM (x) in triangle LMV is 18 units.

2 and 4 seemed really confusing , please help :(
artcher [175]
2. This question is basically asking you to factor 6x² - x - 12, so that one bracket is (2x - 3) and the other bracket is your answer. If you do factor 6x² - x - 12, you get (2x - 3)(3x + 4), so your answer would be J. 3x + 4.

4. Again you are factoring, so you would get your answer as (x + 3)(x - 2), which is answer F.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you would like me to show you how I factored :)

Pls help I’ll give brainiest to whoever helps
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

K'(-3,-2) and A'(-2,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

180 degree rotation = (x,y)---(-x, -y)

hence, if k=(3,2)

then k' = (-3, -2)

90 degree rotation clockwise= (x,y)--(y,-x)

hence if, A=(-5 , -2)

then, A'= (-2, 5)

Suppose a random variable, x, arises from a binomial experiment. If n = 6, and p = 0.30, find the following probabilities using
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

<u></u>

  • <u>a) P(X=1) = 0.302526</u>
  • <u>b) P(X=5) = 0.010206</u>
  • <u>c) P(X=3) = 0.18522</u>
  • <u>d) P(X≤3) = 0.92953</u>
  • <u>e) P(X≥5) = 0.010935</u>
  • <u>f) P(X≤4) = 0.989065</u>

Explanation:

Binomial experiments are modeled by the formula:

       P(X=x)=C(n,x)\cdot p^x\cdot (1-p)^{(n-x)}

Where

  • P(X=x) is the probability of exactly x successes

  • C(n,x)=\dfrac{n!}{x!\cdot (n-x)!}

  • p is the probability of one success, which must be the same for every trial, and every trial must be independent of other trial.
  • n is the number of trials
  • 1 - p is the probability of fail
  • there are only two possible outcomes for each trial: success or fail.

<u>a.) P (x=1)</u>

<u></u>

       P(X=1)=\dfrac{6!}{1!\cdot (6-1)!}\times (0.3)^1\times(1-0.3)^{(6-1)}=0.302526

<u>b.) P (x=5)</u>

     P(X=5)=\dfrac{5!}{5!\cdot (6-5)!}\times (0.3)^5\times (1-0.3)^{(6-5)}=0.010206

<u>c.) P (x=3)</u>

Using the same formula:

    P(X=3)=0.18522

<u>d.) P (x less than or equal to 3)</u>

  • P(X≤3)= P(X=3) + P(X=2) + P(X=1) + P(X=0)

Also,

  • P(X≤3) = 1 - P(X≥4) = 1 - P(X=4) - P(X=5) - P(X=6)

You can use either of those approaches. The result is the same.

Using the second one:

  • P(X=4) = 0.059335
  • P(X=5) = 0.010206
  • P(X=6) = 0.000729

  • P(X≤3) = 1 - 0.05935 - 0.010206 - 0.000729 = 0.92953

<u>e.) P(x greather than or equal to 5)</u>

  • P(X≥5) = P(X=5) + P(X=6)
  • P(X≥5) = 0.010206 + 0.000729 =  0.010935

<u>f.) P(x less than or equal 4)</u>

  • P(X≤4) = 1 - P(X≥5) = 1 - P(X=5) - P(X=6)
  • P(X≤4) = 1 - 0.010206 - 0.000729 = 0.989065
