A small class has 10 students, 5 of whom are girls and 5 of whom are boys. The teacher is going to choose two of the students at random. What is the probability that the first student chosen will be a girl and the second will be a boy? Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

Answers

Answer 1
5 girls, 5 boys...total of 10 students

P(1st pick is a girl) = 5/10 which reduces to 1/2
P(2nd pick is a boy) = 5/9 

P (both) = 1/2 * 5/9 = 5/18 <=
Answer 2

Answer:

The required probability is 5/18.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of total students = 10

Number of girls = 5

Number of boys = 5

Formula for probability:

[tex]Probability=\frac{\text{Favorable outcome}}{\text{Total outcome}}[/tex]

The probability that the first student chosen will be a girl = [tex]\frac{5}{10}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

After selecting 1 student, the total number of student is

[tex]10-1=9[/tex]

The probability that the second student chosen will be a boy = [tex]\frac{5}{9}[/tex]

The probability that the first student chosen will be a girl and the second will be a boy is

[tex]P=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{5}{9}[/tex]

[tex]P=\frac{5}{18}[/tex]

Therefore the required probability is 5/18.

Find the first, fourth, and tenth terms of the arithmetic sequence described by the given rule. A(n) = –3 + (n – 1)(–2.2)

Answers

A(n) = a1 + (n - 1) * d
A(n) = -3 + (n - 1) * -2.2
n = term to find
a1 = first term = -3
d = common difference = -2.2

we can already see that the first term is -3 <==

4th term..
A(4) = -3 + (4 - 1) * -2.2
A(4) = -3 + 3(-2.2)
A(4) = -3 - 6.6
A(4) = - 9.6 <== 4th term

10th term...
A(10) = -3 + (10 - 1) * -2.2
A(10) = -3 + 9 * - 2.2
A(10) = -3 - 19.8
A(10) = - 22.8 <===10th term

Final answer:

The arithmetic sequence A(n) = –3 + (n – 1)(–2.2) yields the first, fourth, and tenth terms as -3, -9.6, and -22.8 respectively when n is substituted with the corresponding term number.

Explanation:

The arithmetic sequence described by the rule A(n) = –3 + (n – 1)(–2.2) can be used to find specific terms of the sequence. To find the first term, plug in n = 1 into the formula to get A(1) = -3 + (1 - 1)(-2.2) = -3. The fourth term can be found by plugging in n = 4 which yields A(4) = -3 + (4 - 1)(-2.2) = -9.6. The tenth term is calculated as A(10) = -3 + (10 - 1)(-2.2) = -22.8. Therefore, the first, fourth, and tenth terms are -3, -9.6, and -22.8 respectively.

all values of f(x)  will change from positive to negative if you reflect in x-axis.

So the first choice is the correct one.

Answer:

A. [tex]g(x)=-\frac{2}{5}(10)^x[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function [tex]f(x)=\frac{2}{5}(10)^x[/tex].

Now, g(x) is obtained by reflecting the function f(x) over x-axis.

Reflection of f(x) over x-axis changes f(x) to -f(x).

So, we get,

[tex]g(x)=-f(x)[/tex]

The football team has 30 more members than the basketball teams. If each group had 10 more members, the ratio of their membership would be 3.2. How many members are in each group? Write your answer as football x basketball y


****PLEASE HELP********

Answers

We start with football =basketball +30 of x=y+30
Add 10 so that 3/2=(f+10)/(y+10) 
Now let's use substitution to get 3/2=(y+30+10)/(y+10) or 3/2=(y+40)/(y+10) 
Now cross multiply so 3(y+10)=2(y+40) or 3y+30=2y+80. Solve to get y=50, meaning x must be 80.
Now let's check to make sure it would be 3/2 if each gets 10 new members. Football would then have 90 and basketball would have 60, so yes, it works!!

What is the equation of the quadratic graph with a focus of (1, 1) and a directrix of y = −1?


f(x) = − one fourth (x − 1)2 + 1

f(x) = − one fourth (x − 1)2

f(x) = one fourth (x − 1)2 + 1

f(x) = one fourth (x − 1)2

Answers

alright,
directix is y=something so it opens down or up

we use
(x-h)²=4p(y-k)
the vertex is (h,k)
and p is distance from focus to vertex
if focus is above directix, p is positive
if focus is below directix, p is negative

so we gts

focus=(1,1)
directix is y=-1
1>-1
focus is above

oh, vertex is in middle of focus and directix
so
beteeen (1,1) and y=-1 is, hmm
that is a distance of 2 vertically
2/2=1
1 down from (1,1) is (1,0)
vertex is (1,0)
p=1

so
(x-1)²=4(1)(y-0)
solving for y to get into f(x)=something form
(x-1)²=4y
y=1/4(x-1)²
f(x)=1/4(x-1)²

For a fixed amount of gas at a constant temperature, the volume of the gas is inversely proportional to its pressure. The function v=18000/p relates the volume in cubic inches and pressure in pounds per square inch of a gas. What is the volume when the pressure is 900 pounds per square inch?

Answers

Answer:

Volume of the gas is 20 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Inverse proportion: Let x and y be two quantities are said to be inverse proportion or inversely proportional if one quantity increases at the same rate the other decreases.

[tex]x \propto \frac{1}{y}[/tex] or

[tex]x = \frac{k}{y}[/tex] ⇒[tex]k =xy[/tex]   where k is constant.

Since, it is given that the volume of gas is inversely propotional to its pressure.

Given the function:  

[tex]v = \frac{18000}{p}[/tex]           ......[1] ; where volume in cubic inches and pressure in pounds per square.

To find the volume in cubic inches.

The pressure (p) = 900 pounds per square inch.

Substitute the value of p in [1];

[tex]v = \frac{18000}{900}= 20 in^3[/tex]

Therefore, the volume(v) = 20 cubic inches when the pressure is 900 pounds per square inch.

The volume when the pressure is 900 pounds per square inch is [tex]20 in^3.[/tex]

What is proportionality?

proportionality can be explained as equality between two ratios, it gives relationship that is always in the same ratio.

We were given the function as[tex]v= \frac{18000}{p}[/tex]

But the pressure is given as pressure (p) = 900 pounds per square inch.

We can get volume, if we substitute "p" as;

[tex]v=\frac{18000}{p}[/tex]

[tex]V= \frac{18000}{900} =20 in^3.[/tex]

Hence, the volume when the pressure is 900 pounds per square inch is [tex]20 in^3.[/tex]

Max is observing the velocity of a runner at different times. After one hour, the velocity of the runner is 5 km/h. After two hours, the velocity of the runner is 3 km/h.

Part A: Write an equation in two variables in the standard form that can be used to describe the velocity of the cyclist at different times. Show your work and define the variables used. (5 points)

Part B: How can you graph the equations obtained in Part A for the first 4 hours? (5 points)

Answers

You only have two observations to work the equation for the velocity.

You only can assume a linear relation.

Part a.

Calling x the independent variable (time in hours) and y the dependent variable (velocity in km/h) =>

x (time in hours)         y (velocity in km/h)

1                                  5
2                                  3

Now you use the linear relation:

slope: (3 - 5) km/h/ (2 - 1)h = - 2 km/1h^2 = - 2 km/h ^2

Equation:

y - 3 = slope * (x - 2)

=> y - 3 = - 2 ( x - 2)

=> y - 3 = - 2x + 4

=> y = 3 - 2x + 4

=> y = - 2x + 7

that is the slope-intercept form.

the standard form is y + 2x - 7 = 0

part B.

to draw the graph you can make a table with the points for the first four hours:

x (time in hours)            y (velocity in km/h)
                                        -2x + 7

1                                      -2(1) + 7 = 5

2                                      -2(2) + 7 = 3

3                                      -2(3) + 7 = 1

4                                     -2(4) + 7 = - 1

The graph, of course, is a straight line, because we started from that assumption.

The curve y = x/(1 + x2) is called a serpentine. find an equation of the tangent line to this curve at the point (2, 0.40). (round the slope and y-intercept to two decimal places.) y =

Answers

Final answer:

The equation of the tangent line to the curve y = x/(1 + x2) at the point (2, 0.40) is given by y = -0.24x + 0.88, rounded to two decimal places.

Explanation:

The subject of the question refers to calculus, specifically the concept of finding the equation of a tangent line to a curve. This process typically involves finding the derivative of the function (which gives the slope of the tangent), and then using the point-slope form of the line equation.

The derivative of y = x/(1 + x2) can be found using the quotient rule for differentiation and is given by y' = (1 - x2)/(1 + x2)2. Evaluating this at x = 2 gives a slope of about -0.24 (rounded to two decimal places).

The equation of the line is usually written in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, where m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept. Since we know that the line passes through the point (2, 0.40), we can substitute these values into the equation and solve for b. This yields a y-intercept of about 0.88 (rounded to two decimal places).

Therefore, the equation of the tangent line to the curve y = x/(1 + x2) at the point (2, 0.40) is approximately y = -0.24x + 0.88.
