Answer:

procedure always produces 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'n' be the unknown number

Add 4 to the number : n+4

multiply the sum by 3.

multiply the sum n+4 by 3

3(n+4) is 3n+12

Now subtract 6, so we subtract 6 from 3n+12

3n+12-6=3n+6

finally decrease the difference by the tripe of the original number

triple of original number is 3n

3n+6-3n= 6

so the procedure always produces 6

Which equation represents the line shown on the graph?
Mama L [17]

Hello there,

To find out the equation you use the slope intercept form...

y = mx + b

M is the slope and b is where the line crosses the y-axis...

Now to find the slope you count the distance from two points so...

The distance from (0,2) to (1,5) is 3 units up and 1 unit over.

So the correct answer should be...

y = 3x + 2


Answer: w = 3z + 2


Hope I helped!!

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

13.85

Step-by-step explanation:

U use the pythagorean theorem

So 2^2 + x^2 = 14^2

Simplify the equation: 4+x^2=196

--> x^2=192

--> x=13.85

-Hope this helps :)

Determine whether each of these sets is the power set of aset,wherea and b are distinct elements. a) ∅ c) {∅,{a},{∅,a}} b) {∅,{a
bija089 [108]

Answer:

{∅, {a}, {b}, {a,b}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of power of a set is generalized by using the formula,

Power of a set (P) = 2^n where n is the number of element in the set.

Given two distinct elements a and b say;

A = {a,b}

n(A) = 2 i.e the number of elements in the set is 2. Therefore the power of the set will be 2^n which gives 2^2 = 4.

P(A) = 4 means there are 4 subsets of the given set. Subsets are sets of elements that can be found in the set. The subsets of element A will be;

{∅, {a}, {b}, {a,b}} which gives 4 elements in total.

Note that empty set ∅ is always part of the subset of any given set

According to the Rational Root Theorem, which statement about f(x) = 66x4 – 2x3 + 11x2 + 35 is true? Any rational root of f(x) i
Kamila [148]

Answer:

The correct option is Any rational root of f(x) is a factor of 35 divided by a factor of 66....

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the rational root theorem:

if a_{0} and a_{n} are non zero then each rational solution x will be:

x= +/- Factors of a_{0} / Factors of  a_{n}

In the given polynomial we have:

66x4 – 2x3 + 11x2 + 35

a_{0} = 35

a_{n} = 66

Therefore,

x= +/- Factors of 35/ Factors of 66.

Thus the correct option is Any rational root of f(x) is a factor of 35 divided by a factor of 66....

A survey found that 73% of adults have a landline at their residence (event A); 83% have a cell phone (event B). It is known tha
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

3. What is the probability that an adult selected at random has both a landline and a cell phone?

A. 0.58

4. Given an adult has a cell phone, what is the probability he does not have a landline?

C. 0.3012

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this problem building the Venn's diagram of these probabilities.

I am going to say that:

A is the probability that an adult has a landline at his residence.

B is the probability that an adult has a cell phone.

C is the probability that a mean is neither of those.

We have that:

A = a + (A \cap B)

In which a is the probability that an adult has a landline but not a cell phone and A \cap B is the probability that an adult has both of these things.

By the same logic, we have that:

B = b + (A \cap B)

The sum of all the subsets is 1:

a + b + (A \cap B) + C = 1

2% of adults have neither a cell phone nor a landline.

This means that C = 0.02.

73% of adults have a landline at their residence (event A); 83% have a cell phone (event B)

So A = 0.73, B = 0.83.

What is the probability that an adult selected at random has both a landline and a cell phone?

This is A \cap B.

We have that A = 0.73. So

A = a + (A \cap B)

a = 0.73 - (A \cap B)

By the same logic, we have that:

b = 0.83 - (A \cap B).

So

a + b + (A \cap B) + C = 1

0.73 - (A \cap B) + 0.83 - (A \cap B) + (A \cap B) + 0.02 = 1

(A \cap B) = 0.75 + 0.83 - 1 = 0.58

So the answer for question 3 is A.

4. Given an adult has a cell phone, what is the probability he does not have a landline?

83% of the adults have a cellphone.

We have that

b = B - (A \cap B) = 0.83 - 0.58 = 0.25

25% of those do not have a landline.

So P = \frac{0.25}{0.83} = 0.3012

The answer for question 4 is C.
