Three strands of wire have a total length of
120 meters. One strand is twice the length of
the shortest strand, and the other strand is
three times the length of the shortest strand.
What is the length of the longest strand of
wire?

Answers

Answer 1

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).

Answers

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].

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

Answers

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.

D. h(x) = 3x - 6

Pls provide an explanation. I need help, and I will mark the person who helps me understand this Brainliest.

Answers

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.

Answers

Answer: Approximately 0.8537

===================================================

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
