A student and a professor each choose a number between 1 and 8 (1 and 8 are both possible choices). what is the probability that the two choose the same number

Answers

Answer 1
Method 1: The student chooses a number x. The professor has 8 possible numbers to choose from, but only one choice is the number x. Therefore, the probability that they both choose the same number is 1/8. Method 2: There are 8*8 = 64 possible pairs of choices that the student and professor can make. Eight of these choices are the same number for the student and the professor, namely (1,1), (2,2),...(8,8). Therefore the probability that they both choose the same number is 8/64 = 1/8.

how can exponential and logarithmic functions be created to use in real world situations?

Answers

In realistic world there are so many examples which use exponential and logarithmic functions.

Use of Logarithmic function
We can find use of logarithmic function in measuring earthquake (Richter Scale) , the brightness of stars , and chemistry(pH balance , measure of acidity and alkalinity)

For example:
In Richter Scale , a logarithmic function that is used to measure the magnitude of earthquake.
If A = measure of amplitude of earthquake wave.
[tex]A_o[/tex] = Amplitude of smallest detectable wave.
From this we can find R the Richter scale measure of magnitude of earthquake.
[tex]R = log \frac{A}{A_o} [/tex]

Use of Exponential Function:

Exponential function may use in finding compound interest , population growth , radioactivity decay , etc.

For example :
As we know the formula for compound interest is
[tex]A = P(1+ \frac{r}{n})^{nt} [/tex]
Where P is principal amount , r = rate of interest(decimal) , n is the number of compounding period , t is time.

For

What is the average rate of change from x = –4 to x = 1?

–3
–1
0
1

Answers

the values of f(x) at x = -4 and x = 1 are 4 and -1 respectively.

average rate of change =   (-1 - 4) / 1 - (-4) = -5 / 5 = -1
Final answer:

The average rate of change from x = –4 to x = 1 is 3.

Explanation:

To find the average rate of change from x = –4 to x = 1, we need to calculate the change in y-values and divide it by the change in x-values. Given that the slope of the line is 3, we can use the formula for average rate of change: (change in y) / (change in x). In this case, the change in x is 1 - (-4) = 5, and the change in y is 3 * 5 = 15. Therefore, the average rate of change is 15 / 5 = 3.

What is Triangle?

In Geometry, a triangle is a three-sided polygon that consists of three edges and three vertices. The most important property of a triangle is that the sum of the internal angles of a triangle is equal to 180 degrees. This property is called angle sum property of triangle.

What is area?

Area is the quantity that expresses the extent of a region on the plane or on a curved surface. The area of a plane region or plane area refers to the area of a shape or planar lamina, while surface area refers to the area of an open surface or the boundary of a three-dimensional object.

According to questions, we have the following

In part (a.), h = [tex]6[/tex] inches; b = [tex]10[/tex] inches

In part (b.), h =[tex]9[/tex] centimeters; b =[tex]4[/tex] centimeters

In part (c.) h = [tex]13[/tex] yards; b = [tex]20[/tex] yards

We have to find the area of each triangle with the given heights and bases.

Now, Area of triangle in part a

[tex]=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]×[tex]b[/tex]×[tex]h[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]×[tex]6[/tex]×[tex]10[/tex]

-13x=90-2y
-6x=48-2y

Answers

Final answer:

The solution to the system of equations is x = 6 and y = 84.

Explanation:

The given equations are:

-13x = 90 - 2y

-6x = 48 - 2y

To find the values of x and y, we can solve the system of equations. We can start by multiplying the second equation by -2 to eliminate the y variable. This gives us:

12x = -96 + 4y

Now we have two equations:

-13x = 90 - 2y

12x = -96 + 4y

We can add the two equations together:

-13x + 12x = 90 - 2y + (-96 + 4y)

-x = -6

Then, we can divide both sides of the equation by -1 to solve for x:

x = 6

Substituting the value of x back into one of the original equations, we can solve for y. Let's use the first equation:

-13(6) = 90 - 2y

-78 = 90 - 2y

-2y = -168

y = 84

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = 6 and y = 84.

the object moves the plane a certain angle measure
the object moves in a straight line movement
the object and its image have opposite orientations
the rotating of a plane about a fixed point

Answers

The object and its image have opposite orientations

Answer: The object and its image have opposite orientations

Step-by-step explanation:

A reflection is a type of rigid transformation in which the preimage is flipped across a line of reflection to produce the image, such that the figure and its image have opposite orientations.

Since, it preserves distance.

Therefore, the points of the image have the same distance from the line as the points of pre-image on the opposite side of the line.

Hence, the right option is "the object and its image have opposite orientations".

I believe there are some choices for this question but you forgot to include. Nevertheless, I will give my observations from the given figure. 

The tile PQRS is bigger than tile JKLM. A rectangle is a two-dimensional shape that has two sets of equal parallel planes. Thus, its area is equal to the length multiplied by its width.

tile PQRS = (9-5)*(12-7) = 20 units²
tile JKLM = (6-4)*(10-5) = 10 units²

Tile PQRS is larger by 10 units².

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]x + 2y \leq 4[/tex]

To graph this inequality we replace <= symbol with = sign

[tex]x + 2y =4[/tex]

subtract x on both sides

[tex]2y =-x+4[/tex]

divide both sides by 2

[tex]y= \frac{-1}{2} x +2[/tex]

Graph the equation using a table

What are the vertex, focus, and directrix of the parabola with the equation x^2+8x+4y+4=0

Answers

We are given the function x^2+8x+4y+4=0. To determine the characteristics of this function, we need to write it in the standard form as follows:

x^2+8x+4y+4=0
4y = -x^2 - 8x - 4
y = (-1/4)x^2 - 2x - 1

To determine the vertex and the focus of the parabola, we write it in the form (y+k)^2 = x+h by completing the square method.

y + 1 = (-1/4)x^2 - 2x 
y +1 = (-1/4)(x^2 + x/2)
y +1 - 1/64 = (-1/4)(x^2 + x/2 + 1/16)
y + 15/16 = (-1/4) (x + 1/4)^2

The vertex would be at point ( -1/4, -15/16)
The focus would be determined as follows:
4p=-1/4 so p=-1/8
focus = (-1/4+(-1/8),-15/16) = (-3/8,-15/16)

Directrix = x = h - p
x = -1/4 - -1/8 = -1/8 

Answer:

Vertex=(-4,3)

Focus=(-4, 2)

Directrix: y=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation

[tex]x^2+8x+4y+4=0[/tex]

we have to find the vertex, focus, and directrix of parabola.

[tex]x^2+8x+4y+4=0[/tex]

[tex]y=\frac{-x^2}{4}-2x-1[/tex]

[tex]h=\frac{-b}{2a}=\frac{2}{2(\frac{-1}{4})}=-4[/tex]

Now, k can be calculated by putting x=4 and y=k in given equation

[tex]k=-1-\frac{16}{4}-2(-4)=-1-4+8=3[/tex]

The vertex is (h,k) i.e (-4,3)

[tex]y=\frac{-x^2}{4}-2x-1[/tex]

[tex]y=\frac{1}{4}(-x^2-8x-4)[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{1}{4}(-x^2-8x-16+16-4)[/tex]

[tex]y=\frac{1}{4}(-(x+4)^4+12)[/tex]

[tex]y=\frac{-1}{4}(x+4)^2+3[/tex]

which is required vertex form [tex]4p(y-k)=(x-h)^2[/tex]

gives p=-1

Focus=(-4, 3+(-1))=(-4,2)

Now directrix can be calculated as

y=3-p=3-(-1)=4

a bowl contains 80 M&M candies If 15 are orange what fraction of the candies is NOT orange. Answer reduced to lowest terms

Answers

65/80 can be reduced to 13/16.
So, it says that there are 80 M&M candies in a bowl. 15 are orange, so that means the others aren't orange. So, then you would do (the total number of  M&M candies in the bowl)-(the number of orange M&M candies)=The number of M&M candies that are not orange. So, 80-15=65.
So, they are 65/80 in the bowl that aren't orange. But we aren't done yet. We need to find the lowest term for 65/80. First, we'll need to find what can go into 65 and 80 evenly without leaving a remainder. Yes, you guessed it, five can go into 65 and 80 without leaving a remainder. So, 65 divided by 5=13 and 80 divided by 5=16. So, your final answer is 13/16. 
13/16 is the final answer. This is the lowest possible term for the number pf candies that aren't orange.
65/80=13/16
13/16 are the number of M&M candies that aren't orange.

I need help please :( !!!

Answers

Number of cans donated the first week = 132
Number of cans donated the second week = 146
Number of cans donated the third week = c, where c is some positive number

Add up the three values (132, 146, and c) to get 132+146+c. I'm choosing not to simplify because each answer choice hasn't simplified either.

The expression of 132+146+c represents the total amount of cans donated for weeks 1 through 3. We want "at least 325 cans", so that means the expression is 325 or larger. That translates to this inequality

[tex]132+146+c \ge 325[/tex]

The "greater than or equal to" sign indicates we want that sum to be 325 or larger.

Now we solve for c

[tex]132+146+c \ge 325[/tex]
[tex]278+c \ge 325[/tex]
[tex]278+c-278 \ge 325-278[/tex]
[tex]c \ge 47[/tex]

So the amount of cans donated for week three needs to be 47 or larger. If you collect exactly 47 cans for week three, then you meet the goal of 325 total cans. If you collect more than 47 cans for week three, then you exceed the goal of 325 total cans.

------------------------------------

In summary we have the inequality 
[tex]132+146+c \ge 325[/tex]
which solves to

A triangle has a perimeter of 48" and the dimensions of each side are given as X + 3, 4x-1, 2X -3 solve for the value of X and determine the length of each side

Answers

In general we know perimeter is equal to sum of each side of triangle.

SO we can add all three sides to find perimeter of triangle.

SO perimeter is = x+3 + 4x - 1 + 2x - 3
                          = 7x -1

As perimeter is 48.

So we can write 7x - 1 = 48

7x - 1 = 48

On adding 1 on both sides.

7x- 1+ 1 =  48 +1

7x = 49

On dividing 7 on both sides.

[tex] \frac{7x}{7} = \frac{49}{7} [/tex]

[tex]x= 7[/tex]

So length of first side is = x+3 = 7+3 = 10
Length of second side = 4x - 1 = 4*7 - 1 = 27
Length of third side = 2x - 3 = 2*7 - 3 = 11

So side of triangle = 10 . 27 , 11

This net folds into the cube shown beside it. On the cube, which letter will be on the side opposite D?

Answers

Final answer:

Without more information or a diagram, it's hard to give a specific answer. However, on a cube net, the face opposite 'D' is likely the one not directly connected to 'D' on the plane of the net.

Explanation:

Unfortunately, without a diagram or more context, it's difficult to provide a definitive answer to the question. However, typically on a cube net, sides that are opposite each other when the net is folded into a cube are adjacent (next to each other) on the net. For example, if 'D' were on a flat square in the center of the net, the squares directly connected to it (on the top, bottom, left, and right) on the plane of the net would end up being the sides adjacent to 'D' when the cube is formed. The square not connected directly to 'D' on the plane would be opposite 'D' once the cube is formed.
