Maggie's brother is 6 years younger than four times her age. The sum of their ages is
59.
How old is Maggie?
Maggie is
years old.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Maggie is 11 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

let m be Maggie and b be her brother.

[tex]m+b=59[/tex]

[tex]b=4m-6[/tex]

substitute for b.

[tex]m+4m-6=59[/tex]

[tex]5m-6=59[/tex]

add 6 to both sides

[tex]5m=55[/tex]

divide by 5 on both sides

[tex]m=11[/tex]

double check by finding the brother's age by substituting for m

[tex]11+b=59[/tex]

[tex]b=48[/tex]

The point p=(2/5,y) lies on the unit circle below what is the value of y in simplest form

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

distance of (1,0) from the origin is,

√{(1-0)²+(0-0)²}

= √1

= 1

So the radius of the circle is 1,

now for the point (2/5,y) distance from origin should be the same since it's the radius

so,

√{(2/5-0)²+(y-0)²} = 1

or, √(4/25+y²)=1

or, 4/25+y²=1

or, y² = 1-4/25

or, y²=21/25

or, y=√(21/25)

or, y=√21/5

so, the simplest form of y is,

If I toss a fair coin five times and the outcomes are TTTTT, then the probability that tails appears on the next toss is
1) 0.5
2) greater than 0.5
3) 1
4) less than 0.5
5) 0

Answers

Answer:

1. 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of flipping a coin and landing on heads or tails is 100%. So 3)1 would be incorrect. In probability, we learned that just because something was picked more than once, it does not lower the chances of the thing being picked again. So 5)0 would be incorrect. The chances of getting tails are 50% also 0.5 and the chances of getting heads are 50% also 0.5. So 1 is correct.

There is a 0.5 percent chance that the following coin will land on its side.

What is Probability?

Probability refers to potential. A random event's occurrence is the subject of this area of mathematics. The range of the value is 0 to 1.

The sample space, which is typically represented using set notation, contains a list of all the potential ordered outcomes as elements. A sample space with all possible outcomes exists for a series of five fair coin tosses. The example of a fair coin toss is 2*2*2H,T.

{HHHHH,HHHHT,HHHTH,HHTHH,HTHHH........TTTTT} The likelihood that the next coin will land on its side is always equal to It doesn't matter if previous results were TTTTT, HHHHH, or TTHT. The probability that the next number will be a tails is therefore still 0.5 in each of these cases as well as all others.

Step-by-step explanation:

8(-2x + 1) = 0

Distribute the 8 by multiplying 8 by what's inside of the parenthesis (-2x and 1)

8 * -2x = -16x

8 * 1 = 8

We now have

-16x + 8 = 0

Subtract 8 from both sides

-16x + 8 - 8 = 0 - 8

-16x = -8

Divide both sides by -16

-16x/-16 = -8/-16

x = 1/2

G I V E N :

8( -2x + 1 ) = 0

S O L U T I O N :

8( -2x + 1 ) = 0

Simplify the left hand side

-16x + 8 = 0

Transposing -16x to the other side

8 = 16x

Cross multiplying we get

x = 8/16

x = ½

x = 0.5

Hence the value of x is 0.5 or ½

Rules for multiplying exponents

Answers

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

When multiplying exponents:

- Product of Powers: When the base of the exponents are the same, and the bases are being multiplied to each other, the exponents are added together.

Example: [tex]a^x + a^y = a^{x+y}[/tex]

- Different bases Same Exponents: When the bases of the exponents are different, but the exponents are the same, the bases multiply together (within a parenthesis) with the exponent on the parenthesis.

Example: [tex]a^x*b^x = (a*b)^x[/tex]

- Quotient of Powers: When the base of the exponents are the same, and they are being divided by each other, the exponents will subtract from each other.

Example: [tex]\frac{a^x}{a^y}= a^{x-y}[/tex]

- Power of a Power: When a base has an exponent, and that entire term has and exponent, the exponents multiply together.

Example: [tex](a^x)^y = a^{x*y}[/tex]

- Power of a Product: The opposite of Different bases Same Exponents. Distribute the exponent onto the different bases.

Example: [tex](ab)^x = a^x*b^x[/tex]

- Power of a Quotient: The opposite of Quotient of Powers. Distribute the exponent to the dividing bases.

Example: [tex](\frac{a}{b} )^x = \frac{a^x}{b^x}[/tex]

- Zero Power: Any number raised to the 0 power equals 1.

Example: [tex]a^0 = 1\\999999^0=1[/tex]

- Negative Exponent: Any number raised by a negative number goes to the denominator of a fraction (if not already in the denominator), and vise versa (goes to the numerator if not already in the numerator).

Example: [tex]a^-2 = \frac{1}{a^2} \\\\\frac{1}{b^-3} = b^3[/tex]

- Power of One: Any number raised to the power of 1 is the same number.

Example: [tex]a^1 = a\\\\999^1 = 999[/tex]

Jack is 4 times as old as Lacy. 3 years from now the sum of their ages will be 71 . How old are they now?

Answers

Answer:

Lacy is 13 and Jack is 52

Step-by-step explanation:

In 3 years their ages will add up to 71 so you have to subtract 6 as there are two of them to get 65. Lacy's age is represented by x and since Jack is 4 times older his age is represented by 4x. So added together their age is 5x. So 5x=65. Then 65/5=13. So 13=x. So Lacy is 13 and Jack is 52 as 13x4 is 52.

Step-by-step explanation:

The vector AB= (0-(-1), 4-2,6-3) AB= (1,2,3)

The modul of AB is sqrt(1^2+2^2+3^2)= sqrt14

The vector AC is (1-(-1), 1-2, 2-3)= (2,-1,-1)

The modul of B is sqrt (2^2+(-1)^2+(-1)^2)= sqrt6

AB*AC= modul AB*modul AC*cosA

Answers

Answer:

B. y = -2/3x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to find the slope when given two points on a line:

y2 - y1

x2 - x1

Substitute the two given points (6, 8) (9, 6):

6 - 8

9 - 6

Slope = -2/3x

We found the slope! And the answer choices already gave us one y-intercept, which is 12. The last thing we do is we form an equation with the information we solved and that was given to us.

y = slope (x) + y-intercept

y = -2/3x + 12

The answer choice that matches this equation is B.

In conclusion, the equation that best estimates the line of best fit shown above is answer choice B.

An equation of a line with given coordinates is y= -2/3 x+12. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

What is the equation of a line?

The general equation of a straight line is y=mx+c, where m is the gradient, and y = c is the value where the line cuts the y-axis. This number c is called the intercept on the y-axis.

From the given graph, the coordinate points are (6, 8) and (9, 6).

We know that, the formula to find the slope of a line is slope = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁).

Here, slope = (6-8)/(9-6)

= -2/3

Substitute m=-2/3 and (x, y)=(6, 8) in y=mx+c, we get

8=-2/3 (6)+c

8=-4+c

c=12

So, equation of a line is y= -2/3 x+12

Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
