Answer: 0.07

Step-by-step explanation:

in the group, we can have only 4 persons.

we have 8 boys, and 6 girls.

We want to find the probability that in the comite we have only boys.

Ok, for the first selection, the probability of selecting a boy is equal to the number of boys divided the total number of the group ( 8 + 6 = 14) this is

p1 = 8/14.

For the second selection we do the same, but we already slected a boy, so now the number of boys is 7, and the total number of posibilities is 13.

p2 = 7/13.

for the third selection we do the same, in this case the probability is

p3 = 6/12

for the fourth selection the probability will be:

p4 = 5/11

The joint probability, of all the events happening at the same time, is equal to the product of the singular probabilities:

P = p1*p2*p3*p4 = (8/14)*(7/13)*(6/12)*(5/11) = 0.07

Which statements about the graph of the function f(x) = –x2 – 4x + 2 are true? Select three options.
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

The true statements about the graph of the function are:

The range of the function is {y : y ≤ 6} ⇒ 2nd

The function is increasing over the interval (–∞ , –2) ⇒ 3rd

The function has a positive y-intercept ⇒ 5th

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The function f(x) = -x² - 4x + 2 is a quadratic function represented

  graphically by a downward parabola with maximum vertex

∵ The form of the quadratic function is f(x) = ax² + bx + c

∵ The coordinates of the vertex of the parabola are (h , k) where

   h = -b/2a and k = f(h)

∵ a = -1 , b = -4

∴ h = -(-4)/2(-1) = 4/-2 = -2

∵ k = f(h)

∴ k = -(-2)² - 4(-2) + 2 = -(4) - (-8) + 2

∴ k = -4 + 8 + 2 = 6

∴ The vertex of the parabola is (-2 , 6)

* Look to the attached figure to find the true statements

∵ The greatest value of the function is 6 ⇒ y-coordinate of the vertex

∵ The range of the function is the values y-coordinates of the points

  on the parabola

∴ The range of the function is {y : y ≤ 6}

- The domain of the function is {x : x ∈ R} or (-∞ , ∞)

∵ The value of y increasing after -∞ to the x-coordinate of the vertex

∵ x-coordinate of the vertex is -2

∴ The function is increasing over the interval (–∞ , –2)

- The parabola intersect the y-axis at point (0 , 2)

∵ The y-intercept is the intersection between the parabola and the

   y-axis

∵ The parabola intersect the y-axis at point (0 , 2)

∴ The y-intercept is 2

∴ The function has a positive y-intercept

Answer:

the first step is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

the first step is correct

then draw 2 circles with the same radius with centre  D and E ( the point BC intersect the first circle )

Where the 2 circles are intersecting is the point F

Then BF is the bisector

a triangle has sides of 4 and 6 units. The measurement of the longest side is missing.Ted says that one possibility for the unkn
tester [92]
This is called the pythagorean theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2.
Basically, the sum of one side squared + the side of another side squared = the length of the longest side (or hypotenuse).

We have to do the following math:
4 * 4 = 16
6 * 6 = 36
16 + 36 = 52.

We know that 52 = c^2
So we have to \sqrt{c} to get 7.21

You do not agree with Ted.
