Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a large ice chest holds the water = 62 liters

And smaller chest holds the water = $\frac{4}{5}$ of the larger ice chest

= $\frac{4}{5}\times 62$

= $\frac{248}{5}$ liters

Therefore, fraction that represents the amount of ice water in the smaller ice chest will have 0 in the first box, 248 in the numerator and 5 in the denominator.

$0\frac{248}{5}$

The axis of symmetry for the function f(x) = −x2 − 10x + 16 is x = −5. What are the coordinates of the vertex of the graph? (−5,

Umnica [9.8K]

The x-coordinate of the axis os symmetry of a quadratic is the x-coorfinate of its vertex. To find the y-coordinate of the vertex here we would substitute -5 for x in:

$f(x) = - {x}^{2} - 10x + 16 \\ so \: we \: have \: \\ f( - 5) = - ( { - 5)}^{2} - 10( - 5) + 16 \\ = - 25 + 50 + 16 = 41$
The coordinates of the vertex are (-5,41)

An oil exploration company currently has two active projects, one in Asia and the other in Europe. Let A be the event that the A

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

0.7 ; 0.65 ; 0.115

Step-by-step explanation:

P(A) = 0.5 ; P(B) = 0.3

P(not successful) = P(B') = 1 - 0.3 = 0.7 ; P(A') = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5

1.)

Both events are independent events, hence the outcome of one does not depend on the other. That is the failure of the Asian project has nothing to do with the European project.

Probability that European project isn't successful;

P(B') = 1 - P(B) = 1 - 0.3 = 0.7

2.)

Probability that atleast one of the 2 projects is successful :

P(AUB) = P(A) + P(B) - P(AnB)

P(AnB) = P(A) * P(B) = 0.5 * 0.3 = 0.15

P(AUB) = 0.5 + 0.3 - 0.15 = 0.65

3.)

Probability that only the Asian project is successful, given that atleast one of the two projects is successful :

[P(A) - P(AnB)] ÷ P(AuB)

[0.5 * 0.15] ÷ 0.65

= 0.075 ÷ 0.65

= 0.1153846

= 0.115

Grant plans to evaporate enough water from 22 gallons of a 16% ammonia solution to make a 24% ammonia solution. Which equation c

Paha777 [63]

First lets write down our starting conditions:

we have 22 gallons and it has 16% of ammonia

16% of 22 gallons is
A = 16/100*22 = 3,52 gallons

Now since only watter is evaporating that means that in second scenario after some watter evaporated there is still 3,52 gallons of ammonia. But now those 3,52 gallons of ammonia represent 24% of total mixture. So now we go other way.
24 % is 3,52 gallons
100% is x gallons

x = 100/24*3,52 = 14.667 gallons

That means that he has to evaporate
22 - 14.6667 = 7,333 gallons of water.

Determine which equations below, when combined with the equation 3x-4y=2, will form a system with no solutions. Choose all that

svetoff [14.1K]

Two equations will not have solution if they are parallel and have different y-intercepts. Parallel lines have the same slope. In a slope-intercept form, the equation of the line can be expressed as,

y = mx + b

where m is slope and b is the y-intercept.

Given: 3x - 4y = 2
Slope-intercept: y = 3x/4 - 1/2

A. 2y = 1.5x - 2
Slope-intercept: y = 3x/4 - 1

B. 2y = 1.5x - 1
Slope-intercept: y = 3x/4 - 1/2

C. 3x + 4y = 2
Slope-intercept: y = -3x/4 + 1/2

D. -4y + 3x = -2
Slope-intercept: y = 3x/4 + 1/2

Hence, the answers to this item are A and D.
