Six sophomores and 14 freshmen are competing for two alternate positions on the debate team. Which expression represents the pro
2 answers:
Answer:
<em>Choose the first alternative</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Probabilities</u>
The requested probability can be computed as the ratio between the number of ways to choose two sophomores in alternate positions and the total number of possible choices
, i.e.
There are 6 sophomores and 14 freshmen to choose from each separate set. There are 20 students in total
We'll assume the positions of the selections are NOT significative, i.e. student A/student B is the same as student B/student A.
To choose 2 sophomores out of the 6 available, the first position has 6 elements to choose from, the second has now only 5
The total number of possible choices is
The probability is then
Choose the first alternative

Part 1)
Sam is observing the velocity of a car at different times. After three hours, the velocity of the car is 51 km/h. After five hours, the velocity of the car is 59 km/h.
Part 1 a): Write an equation in two variables in the standard form that can be used to describe the velocity of the car at different times. Show your work and define the variables used
Let
A(3,51) B(5,59)
x------ > represent different times
y------ > represent the velocity of the car
Step 1
Find the slope AB
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)------ > m=(59-51)/(5-3)------ > m=8/2---- > m=4
Step 2
With m=4 and point A(3,51) find the equation of the line
y-y1=m*-(x-x1)------ > y-51=4*(x-3)----- > y=4x-12+51----- > y=4x+39
we know that
The standard form of line equation is Ax + By = C
So
y=4x+39----- > y-4x=39------ > this is the standard form
the answer part 1 a) is
y-4x=39
Part 1 b) How can you graph the equation obtained in Part a) for the first six hours?
To graph the equation obtained in Part a) plot the point A and the point B
and join the points to draw the line
To obtain the velocity for the first six hours, substitute the value of x=6 hour in the equation
for x=6 hour
y-4x=39------ > y-4*6=39------ > y=39+24------ > y=63 km/h
using a graph tool
see the attached figure N 1
Part 2)
g(x)=1+1.5^x
step 1
find the equation of the line of f(x)
let
A(-5,3) B(-3,-1)
m=(-1-3)/(-3+5)----- > m=-4/2---- > m=-2
with m=-2 and point A
y-y1=m*(x-x1)------ > y-3=-2*(x+5)---- > y=-2x-10+3----- > y=-2x-7
so
f(x)=-2x-7
step 2
find the equation of the line of p(x)
let
C(0,2) D(-2,-3)
m=(-3-2)/(-2-0)----- > m=-5/-2---- > m=2.5
with m=2.5 and point C
y-y1=m*(x-x1)------ > y-2=2.5*(x-0)---- > y=2.5x+2
so
p(x)=2.5x+2
Part 2 a) What is the solution to the pair of equations represented by p(x) and f(x)?
We know that
The solution is the intersection of both graphs
Using a graph tool
See the attached figure N 2
The solution is the point (-2,-3)
Part 2 b) Write any two solutions for f(x).
f(x)=-2x-7
for x=0
f(0)=2*0-7---- > f(0)=-7
solution 1 is the point (0,-7)
for x=1
f(1)=2*1-7---- > f(1)=-5
solution 2 is the point (1,-5)
Part 2 c) What is the solution to the equation p(x) = g(x)?
We have
p(x)=2.5x+2
g(x)=1+1.5^x
We know that
The solution is the intersection of both graphs
Using a graph tool
See the attached figure N 3
The solution are the points (0,2) and (7.3,20.2)

)
Part A:There are many system of inequalities that can be created such that only contain points D and E in the overlapping shaded regions.
Any system of inequalities which is satisfied by (-4, 2) and (-1, 5) but is not satisfied by (1, 3), (3, 1), (3, -3) and (-3, -3) can serve.
An example of such system of equation is
x < 0
y > 0
The system of equation above represent all the points in the second quadrant of the coordinate system.The area above the x-axis and to the left of the y-axis is shaded.
see the attached figure N 4
Part B:It can be verified that points D and E are solutions to the system of inequalities above by substituting the coordinates of points D and E into the system of equations and see whether they are true.
Substituting D(-4, 2) into the system
we have:
-4 < 0
2 > 0
as can be seen the two inequalities above are true, hence point D is a solution to the set of inequalities.
Also,
substituting E(-1, 5) into the system we have:
-1 < 0
5 > 0
as can be seen the two inequalities above are true, hence point E is a solution to the set of inequalities.
Part C:Given that chicken can only be raised in the area defined by y > 3x - 4.
To identify the farms in which chicken can be raised, we substitute the coordinates of the points A to F into the inequality defining chicken's area.
For point A(1, 3): 3 > 3(1) - 4 ⇒ 3 > 3 - 4 ⇒ 3 > -1 which is true
For point B(3, 1): 1 > 3(3) - 4 ⇒ 1 > 9 - 4 ⇒ 1 > 5 which is false
For point C(3, -3): -3 > 3(3) - 4 ⇒ -3 > 9 - 4 ⇒ -3 > 5 which is false
For point D(-4, 2): 2 > 3(-4) - 4; 2 > -12 - 4 ⇒ 2 > -16 which is true
For point E(-1, 5): 5 > 3(-1) - 4 ⇒ 5 > -3 - 4 ⇒ 5 > -7 which is true
For point F(-3, -3): -3 > 3(-3) - 4 ⇒ -3 > -9 - 4 ⇒ -3 > -13 which is true
Therefore,
the farms in which chicken can be raised are the farms at point A, D, E and F.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
y -----> gallons of water remaining in the barrel
x-----> number of minutes elapsed
we know that
Water leaks out of the barrel at a rate of 1 gallon every 10 minutes
so
The linear equation that represent this situation is
