John's average for making free throws in a basketball game is .80. In a one-and-one free throw situation (where he shoots a seco

nd basket only if he makes the first), what is the probability that he makes exactly one basket?

Answer:

0.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that John's average for making free throws in a basketball game is .80.

He can get a chance for II throw only if he hits the first

So required probability = Prob that he hits the first but misses the second

Prob for hitting a single trial = 0.8 which is constant for each throw

Prob for missing a single trial = 1-0.8 = 0.2 since there are only two outcomes

Hence required probability = 0.8(1-0.2) = 0.16

The probability of John making the first and missing the second is:
P(makes\ 1\ basket)=0.8\times(1-0.8)=0.16

Marissa bought a car for $22,000. The value of the car is decreasing at a rate of 10.5% every year. After 5 years, the value of
torisob [31]

Answer: the value of the car will be about $12634

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for exponential decay which is expressed as

A = P(1 - r)^ t

Where

A represents the value of the car after t years.

t represents the number of years.

P represents the initial value of the car.

r represents rate of decay.

From the information given,

P = $22000

r = 10.5% = 10.5/100 = 0.105

t = 5 years

Therefore

A = 22000(1 - 0.105)^5

A = 22000(0.895)^5

A = $12634

What is the range of the exponential function shown below
Vsevolod [243]

Answer : y>0

f(x) = 9*2^x

f(x) is an exponential function

f(x) = 9*2^x

When we plug in positive value for x , the value of y is positive

When we plug in negative value for x , the value y is also positive

So for any value of x, the y value is positive always.

Range is the set of y values for which the function is defined

y values are positive , so range is y >0

Steve likes to entertain friends at parties with "wire tricks." Suppose he takes a piece of wire 60 inches long and cuts it into
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

a) the length of the wire for the circle = (\frac{60\pi }{\pi+4}) in

b)the length of the wire for the square = (\frac{240}{\pi+4}) in

c) the smallest possible area = 126.02 in² into two decimal places

Step-by-step explanation:

If one piece of wire for the square is y; and another piece of wire for circle is (60-y).

Then; we can say; let the side of the square be b

so 4(b)=y

         b=\frac{y}{4}

Area of the square which is L² can now be said to be;

A_S=(\frac{y}{4})^2 = \frac{y^2}{16}

On the otherhand; let the radius (r) of the  circle be;

2πr = 60-y

r = \frac{60-y}{2\pi }

Area of the circle which is πr² can now be;

A_C= \pi (\frac{60-y}{2\pi } )^2

     =( \frac{60-y}{4\pi } )^2

Total Area (A);

A = A_S+A_C

   = \frac{y^2}{16} +(\frac{60-y}{4\pi } )^2

For the smallest possible area; \frac{dA}{dy}=0

∴ \frac{2y}{16}+\frac{2(60-y)(-1)}{4\pi}=0

If we divide through with (2) and each entity move to the opposite side; we have:

\frac{y}{18}=\frac{(60-y)}{2\pi}

By cross multiplying; we have:

2πy = 480 - 8y

collect like terms

(2π + 8) y = 480

which can be reduced to (π + 4)y = 240 by dividing through with 2

y= \frac{240}{\pi+4}

∴ since y= \frac{240}{\pi+4}, we can determine for the length of the circle ;

60-y can now be;

= 60-\frac{240}{\pi+4}

= \frac{(\pi+4)*60-240}{\pi+40}

= \frac{60\pi+240-240}{\pi+4}

= (\frac{60\pi}{\pi+4})in

also, the length of wire for the square  (y) ; y= (\frac{240}{\pi+4})in

The smallest possible area (A) = \frac{1}{16} (\frac{240}{\pi+4})^2+(\frac{60\pi}{\pi+y})^2(\frac{1}{4\pi})

= 126.0223095 in²

≅ 126.02 in² ( to two decimal places)

Point H is the circumcenter of triangle DEF.
Crank
Circumcenter and circumcirle are shown in the attachment. Assume that the triangle is DEF instead of ABC and that the intersection of perpendiculars is H.
The definition of the circumcenter of a triangle is defined as the point of intersection of all the perpendicular bisectors in the triangle.
The circumcircle passes by all three of the triangle's vertices.

Based on the above, the right choiceS will be:
Point H is the center of the circle that passes through points D, E, and F. 
HD = HE
