Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

D is correct.  The idea here is to ensure that the point on the post is equidistant from the bottom of the post (where it meets the ground), which in turn ensures that the angle between ground and post is 90° in at least two places on the ground.

Answer:

y = 3/8x

or

3/8 cups of sugar for every 1/2 batch of muffins

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are only making 1/2 of the full batch of muffins, we only need to use 1/2 the cups of sugar:

\frac{3}{4} (\frac{1}{2} )= \frac{3}{8} cups of sugar.

Suppose 50 percent of the customers at Pizza Palooza order a square pizza, 70 percent order a soft drink, and 35 percent order b
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Ordering a soft drink is independent of ordering a square pizza.

Step-by-step explanation:

20% more customers order a soft drink than pizza, therefore they cannot be intertwined.

Given: P(A)=0.5 & P(B)=.7

P(A∩B) =  P(A) × P(B)

=  0.5 × .7

=  0.35

P(A∪B) =  P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

=  0.5 + .7 - 0.35

=  0.85

P(AΔB) =  P(A) + P(B) - 2P(A∩B)

=  0.5 + .7 - 2×0.35

=  0.5

P(A') =  1 - P(A)

=  1 - 0.5

=  0.5

P(B') =  1 - P(B)

=  1 - .7

=  0.3

P((A∪B)') =  1 - P(A∪B)

=  1 - 0.85

=  0.15

Factories 24x^2-41x+12
andriy [413]

Answer:

(3x - 4)(8x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 24 × 12 and sum = - 41

The required factors are - 32 and - 9

Use these factors to split the x- term

24x² - 32x - 9x + 12 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 8x(3x - 4) - 3(3x - 4) ← factor out (3x - 4) from each term

= (3x - 4)(8x - 3) ← in factored form
