melomori [17]

<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

Option: C is the correct answer.

$ 1.50 is the cost of 1 eraser.

<h3><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u></h3>

Alicia bought a notebook and several erasers at the student store.

Let the cost of 1 eraser=$ x.

Now from the scatter plot we could see that when Alicia did not bought any eraser then her total cost =$ 2.

That means cost of a notebook=$ 2.

Now when she buys a notebook and two eraser then she pays=$ 5.

i.e.

Total cost=cost of notebook+ 2× cost of 1 eraser

Total cost=cost of notebook+2×x

i.e.

5=2+2x

⇒ 2x=5-2

⇒ 2x=3

⇒ x=1.5

Hence, cost of one eraser is:

$ 1.50

A bag contains 20 slips of paper Individually numbered. If a slip of paper and a letter in the word PENNSYLVANIA is chosen at ra

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

$P(M4\ n\ V) = 2.083\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Paper = 20 slips

Word: PENNSYLVANIA

Required

Determine P(Multiple of 4 and V)

The sample size of the 20 slips is:

$n(S) = 20$

The outcomes of multiples of 4 is:

$M4= \{4,8,12,16,20\}$

$n(M4) = 5$

So, the probability of multiples of 4 is:

$Pr(M4) = \frac{5}{20}$

$Pr(M4) = \frac{1}{4}$

The sample size of PENNSYLVANIA is:

$n(S) = 12$

The outcome of V is:

$n(V) = 1$

So, the probability of V is:

$P(V) = \frac{1}{12}$

So, the required probability is: P(Multiple of 4 and V)

$P(M4\ n\ V) = P(M4) * P(V)$

$P(M4\ n\ V) = \frac{1}{4} * \frac{1}{12}$

$P(M4\ n\ V) = \frac{1}{48}$

$P(M4\ n\ V) = 0.02083$

Express as percentage

$P(M4\ n\ V) = 0.02083 * 100\%$

$P(M4\ n\ V) = 2.083\%$

For the equation given below, evaluate y′ at the point (−2,−1).<br><br> 3xy−3x−12=0.

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

Y'=3xy-3x-12

Y'=F(-2,-1)=0

Step-by-step explanation:

The function of the equation at the point (-2,-1)

is where the equation make the function go to zero:

Y'=3xy-3x-12

Y'=F(-2,-1)=[3(-2)(-1)]-[3(-1)]-12

F(-2,-1)=[6]-[-6]-12

F(-2,-1)=6+6-12

F(-2,-1)=12-12

F(-2,-1)=0

Solving for y

3xy-3x-12=0

y=4/x+x

Making y=0

$\frac{4}{x}+x=0$

$x^{2} =-4$

$x=-2$

So the values make the function go to zero

Find the area of the polygon with vertices (1, 2) (1, -5) (5, -5) (5,2)

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

28 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

These vertices are written in the form of their x and y coordinates. Let

A=(1,2) ; B =(1,-5) ; C =(5, -5) ; D=(5,2)

The x points are 1, 1, 5, 5

The y points are 2,-5, -5, 2

The x extremes range from 1 to 5. The length in-between is 5-1 = 4

The y extremes range from -5 to 2. The length in-between is 2-(-5) = 7

Area of the polygon enclosed by the coordinates

= 4 x 7 = 28 square units
