1 answer:
Answer:
Riley divided the number of petunia seeds by the number of begonia seeds, getting . What you actually need to do to calculate the probability of selecting a petunia seed is divide the number of petunia seeds by the <em>total</em> number of seeds. 5 petunia seeds and 15 begonia seeds makes 20 total seeds, so you divide 5 petunia seeds by 20 total seeds to get

Given a circle described by the equation:
and a function g(x) given by the table
The function g(x) describes a straight line with the equation:
To check if the circle and the line intersects, we substitute the equation of the line into the equation of the circle to see if we have a real solution.
i.e.
When x = 6, y = 2(6) - 20 = 12 - 20 = -8 and when x = 10, y = 2(10) - 20 = 20 - 20 = 0
Therefore, the circle and the line intersect at the points (6, -8) and (10, 0).
