Answer: 20 Meters
Step-by-step explanation:
First strand: 2x (twice the length of the shortest strand)
Second strand: 3x (three times the length of the shortest strand)
Third strand: x (the length of the shortest strand)
All the strands: 2x + 3x + x
All the strands: 6x
6x = 120 meters
(DIVIDE BOTH 6 AND 120 BY 6)
x=20
THE LENGTH OF THE SHORTEST STRAND IS 20 METERS
A vertical parabola goes through (-2,-18), (3, -13), and (5, -39). Use matrices to solve for D, E, and F,
given the general form x2 + y2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0 (since it is a vertical parabola there is not a
yż term).
The general formula for the parabola is [tex]x^{2}+y^{2}-21\cdot x +51\cdot y +548 = 0[/tex].
We need the knowledge of three distinct points to determine all coefficients of the vertical parabola based on the following general formula:
[tex]x^{2} + y^{2} + D\cdot x + E\cdot y + F = 0[/tex] (1)
If we know that [tex](x_{1}, y_{1}) = (-2, -18)[/tex], [tex](x_{2}, y_{2}) = (3,-13)[/tex] and [tex](x_{3}, y_{3}) = (5,-39)[/tex], then we have the following system of linear equations:
[tex]-2\cdot D -18\cdot E + F = -328[/tex] (2)
[tex]3\cdot D -13\cdot y + F = -178[/tex] (3)
[tex]5\cdot D -39\cdot E + F = -1546[/tex] (4)
The solution of the system of equations is: [tex]D = -21[/tex], [tex]E = 51[/tex], [tex]F = 548[/tex].
The general formula for the parabola is [tex]x^{2}+y^{2}-21\cdot x +51\cdot y +548 = 0[/tex].

A math class has 4 girls and 1 boy in the seventh grade and 5 girls and 5 boys in the eighth grade. The teacher randomly selects a seventh grader and an eighth grader from the class for a competition. What is the probability that the students she selects are both boys?
Answer is 1/10
Answer:1/10
Step-by-step explanation:so easy
The probability that the students she selects are both boys is 1/10.
What is a probability? Probability is the branch of mathematics concerning numerical descriptions of how likely an event is to occur, or how likely it is that a proposition is true.The probability of an event is a number between 0 and 1, where, roughly speaking, 0 indicates impossibility of the event and 1 indicates complete certainty.Given is that a math class has 4 girls and 1 boy in the seventh grade and 5 girls and 5 boys in the eighth grade. The teacher randomly selects a seventh grader and an eighth grader from the class for a competition.
The probability that the students she selects are both boys -
P{E} = P{1} x P{2}
P{1} : randomly selecting a seventh grader as a boy.
P{2} : randomly selecting a eight grader as a boy.
We can write -
P{1} = n{f}/n{s} = 1/5
P{2} = n{f}/n{s} = 5/10 = 1/2
P{E} = P{1} x P{2}
P{E} = 1/5 x 1/2
P{E} = 1/10
Therefore, the probability that the students she selects are both boys is 1/10.

What is the inverse of f(x) = 1/3x + 2 ?
A. h(x) = 1/3x + 2
B. h(x) = 1/3x - 2
C. h(x) = 3x - 2
D. h(x) = 3x - 6
Pls provide an explanation. I need help, and I will mark the person who helps me understand this Brainliest.
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the function:
[tex]\displaystyle f(x) = \frac{1}{3} x + 2[/tex]
And we want to find its inverse h.
To find the inverse of a function, we can switch the y and x variables and solve for the new y. This will be our inverse.
We begin with:
[tex]\displaystyle f(x) = y = \frac{1}{3} x+ 2[/tex]
Switching the variables yield:
[tex]\displaystyle x = \frac{1}{3}y + 2[/tex]
And solving for y yields that:
[tex]\displaystyle y = h(x) = 3x - 6[/tex]
In conclusion, the inverse function to f is 3x - 6. Our answer is D.
To understand why we switch the variables, recall that by the definition of inverse functions, if f(a) = b, then f⁻¹(b) = a. So, by switching the variables, we are essentially solving for f⁻¹(x).

You should first recognize the shape of the curve - it's an exponential function, so its equation takes the form [tex]y(x)=a\cdot b^{cx}[/tex] for some constants a, b, and c.
The curve lies above the x-axis, so a must be positive.
The curve is defined everywhere (there are no discontinuities), so b must be positive.
As you move left to right, the function is increasing, so c must also be positive. But to make things simpler, let's assume c = 1.
When x = 0, the curve passes through the point (0, 1). In our equation, we have
[tex]y(0) = a\cdot b^0 = a[/tex]
so it follows that a = 1.
When x = 1, the curve approximately passes through the point (1, 4); so
[tex]y(1) = b^1 = 4[/tex]
so b = 4.
Then the equation of the curve might be [tex]\boxed{y = 4^x}[/tex].

An insurer knows that the proportion of smokers in a population is 0.3. Furthermore, it is known that: 40% of applicants who are smokers say they do not smoke on their applications. None of the non-smoking applicants are lying on their application.
Calculate what is the probability that one of the applicants says that he does not smoke, and that in fact do not smoke.
===================================================
Explanation:
Let's say this population had 1000 people. You can pick any number you want, but I'm going for some nice big round number to work with.
The proportion of smokers is 0.3, which means 0.3*1000 = 300 people in this population are smokers and 1000-300 = 700 are nonsmokers.
Of the 300 people who do smoke, 40% of them lie on the application. This means 0.40*300 = 120 people lied. These 120 people say they don't smoke, but in fact they do smoke.
So if we were to survey this population, then 700+120 = 820 people would say they don't smoke
Only considering the people who write "don't smoke" on the survey, which is that 820 figure, 700 of them are true nonsmokers. Therefore, the probability we want is 700/820 = 0.8537 approximately

Ruben, Shelly, and Malcolm have recorded a hit song. Ruben gets 2/5 of the income, Shelly gets 1/3, and Malcolm gets the rest. If they earn $300,000, how much does Malcolm earn?
Answer:
$ 80,000
Step-by-step explanation:
2/5 + 1/3 = (6 + 5)/15 = 11/15
15/15 - 11/15 = 4/15
4/15 of 300,000
4/15 x 300,000 = 1,200,000/15 = 80,000

what is 13.6 - x = -64.2
Answer:
13.6 - x = -64.2
Step-by-step explanation:
x = 77.8
13.6 - 77.8 = -64.2 True!
Answer:
x=77.8
Step-by-step explanation:
13.6-x=-64.2
-13.6. -13.6
---------------------
since there is already -x it wouldn't be -77.8 bc that would cancel it out
Find the derivative of f(x) =4cot(x) + 10 sin(x)
d/dx cot(x) = -csc²(x)
d/dx sin(x) = cos(x)
So, if f(x) = 4 cot(x) + 10 sin(x), then
f '(x) = -4 csc²(x) + 10 cos(x)
