Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 0.36

Step-by-step explanation:

There is already a 45% chance of having oil on the land.

The oil kit has an 80% accuracy rate.

Therefore the kit has an 80% chance, of that 45% chance, of detecting oil. (Assume the owners in the area are correct in their 45% assumption)

This can be expressed as 80%*40% or 0.8*0.45

= 0.36 or 36%

which of the following statements best describes midpoint of a line segment? 1. point at end of line segments 2. a point halfway between the endpoints of a line segments 3. it its any point on a line segments 4. it is the x-coordinate of any point on a line segment.

Answers

Hello!

The answer is:

2. A point halfway between the endpoints of a line segment.

Why?

The midpoint of a line segment, is a point that divides the line segment into two equal length sides, no matter the length of the segment, the midpoint will always cut the segment into two equal length sides

The midpoint is an ordinary point located in the middle of the line segment. The x-coordinate of the midpoint is halfway between the x-coordinates of the beginning and the end of the segment. The y-coordinate of the midpoint is halfway between the y-coordinates of the beginning and the end of the segment.

Hence, the correct option is:

2. A point halfway between the endpoints of a line segment.

Have a nice day!

Midpoint refers to point in the mid. The midpoint of a line segment is given as: Option 2: A point halfway between the endpoints of a line segment.

What does a midpoint mean?

Midpoint, as the word suggests, means the point which lies in the middle of something. Midpoint of a line segment means a point which lies in the mid of the given line segment.

What is a line segment?

A line segment is a straight line with finite length, and thus, have to endpoints(points on either ends).

If you walk halfway between the endpoints of a line segment, you'll reach to its mid, and thus, the midpoint of a line segment can be reached by walking halfway between its end points.

Thus,

The midpoint of a line segment is given as: Option 2: A point halfway between the endpoints of a line segment.

there was a total of 750 and 2015 crickets in a pond, the population increased by 17% the next year. The year after that the population decreased by 10%. what is the percent of change of population from the 2015 to 2017?​

Answers

Answer:

5.2% increase

Step-by-step explanation:

In 2015 the total population was 750.

In 2016 the total population was 17% more than in 2015, so 750 x 1.17 = 877.

In 2017 the total population was 10% less than in 2016, so 877 x 0.9 = 789.

Compared to 2015, the population in 2017 was 789/750 = 1.052 or 5.2% greater.

In one step:

((750 x 1.17) x 0.9) / 750 = 5.2%

Hello there!

In this question, we're going to need to find the population in 2017, while using the given information.

Answer: 5.3% increase

Lets gather the information we should know from the question.

Key information:

2015 -- Population of 750

Increased by 17% in the next year

Decreased by 10% the next year

With the information above, we can solve the problem.

We know that our starting population for crickets is 750, and it increases by 17% for the next year (2016), so we would multiply 750 by 1.17

[tex]750*1.17=877.5[/tex]

Our population in 2016 is 877.5.

Now, we know that he population in 2016 decreased by 10% going into 2017. We would need to find how much of 877.5 is 10%, and then subtract.

[tex]877.5*.10=87.75\\\\877.5-87.75=789.75[/tex]

When you're done solving, you should get 789.75

This means that the population of crickets in 2017 is 789.75.

Now, we know that we started with 750 crickets, now we have 789.5 crickets.

We would divide 789.5 by 750.

[tex]789.5\div750=1.053[/tex]

We would move the decimal place two times to the right, giving us 5.3.

This means that the population increased by 5.3% from 2015 to 2017.

What is the equation of the line that passes through (7,4) and (4,-2)?
O y= 2x - 10
O y=-2x - 10
O y=-2x + 18
y= 2x + 18​

Answers

Answer:

y = 2x - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we find the slope.

m = slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (-2 - 4)/(4 - 7) = -6/(-3) = 2

Now we use the slope in the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line.

y = mx + b

y = 2x + b

We use the coordinates of one of the given points for x and y, and we solve for b. Let's use the point (7, 4), so we have x = 7 and y = 4.

4 = 2(7) + b

4 = 14 + b

Subtract 14 from both sides.

-10 = b

Now we replace b with -10.

y = 2x - 10

Answer: y = 2x - 10

56 coins = $9.80. how many are quarters how many are nickels​

Answers

Answer:

So there are 35 quarters and 21 nickels.

Step-by-step explanation:

So I guess that is all we have is quarters and nickels.

Quarters are worth .25

Nickels are worth .05

Let x represent the number of quarters

Let y represent the number of nickels

x+y=56

.25x+.05y=9.8

We are going to solve this system.

I'm going to use substitution. I will solve the first equation for y and then plug that into the second equation.

y=56-x  

.25x+.05(56-x)=9.8

.25x+2.8-.05x=9.8

.20x+2.8=9.8

.2x          = 7

 x=7/(.2) or 7*5=35

y=56-x

y=56-35=21

So there are 35 quarters and 21 nickels.

Answer:

A) n + q = 56

B) .05n + .25q = 9.80

We multiply A) by -.25

A) -.25n -.25q = -14  then add it to equation B)

B) .05n + .25q = 9.80

-.2n = -4.20

nickels = 4.20 / .20 = 21

quarters = 35

what is the equation of (4,10),(6,11) in standard form?​

Answers

ANSWER

The standard form is:

EXPLANATION

The given line passes through (4,10)and (6,11).

The slope of this line is

[tex]m = \frac{11 - 10}{6 - 4} [/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{1}{2} [/tex]

The equation is given by the formula,

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

We plug in the first point and the slope to get.

[tex]y-10= \frac{1}{2} (x-4)[/tex]

[tex]2y - 20 = x - 4[/tex]

[tex]x - 2y = - 20 + 4[/tex]

Which equation represent the line that is perpendicular to the line 5x-2y=-6 and passed through the point (5,-4)?

Answers

Y=2/5 x-2 I think that’s the answer plz wait for other to answer

To find the equation of a line perpendicular to 5x - 2y = -6 and passing through (5, -4), first determine the slope of the given line and then find the negative reciprocal of that slope. Using point-slope form with the new slope and the given point, the equation is y = - (2/5)x - 2.

To find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given line 5x - 2y = -6 and passes through the point (5, -4), follow these steps:

Step 1: Find the slope of the given line

Rewrite the given line in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b):

5x - 2y = -6
-2y = -5x - 6
y = (5/2)x + 3

The slope (m) of the given line is 5/2.

Step 2: Find the slope of the perpendicular line

The slope of the line perpendicular to another is the negative reciprocal. Thus, the slope of the perpendicular line is -2/5.

Step 3: Use the point-slope form

Using the point (5, -4) and the slope -2/5 in the point-slope form (y - y1 = m(x - x1)):

y - (-4) = - (2/5)(x - 5)
y + 4 = - (2/5)x + 2
y = - (2/5)x - 2

Therefore, the equation of the line that is perpendicular to 5x - 2y = -6 and passes through the point (5, -4) is y = - (2/5)x - 2.

Identify the vertex of the graph Tell whether it is a minimum or a maximum​

Answers

Answer:

(1,2)  maximum

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex is the the point on the graph where the graph does a "u-turn".

this point can either represent the maximum value or the minimum value depending on which way the graph is facing.

In this case, the graph looks like an "n" (as opposed to a "u").

We can clearly see that the point where the graph makes a U-turn is (1, 2)

we can also see that no part of the graph extends above this point, hence this point represents the maximum value which y could possibly be.

Hence (1,2) is maximum

Give me BRAINLIEST please

let's say the total holdings for the company, or namely the total quantity for the ratios is say hmmm "x", and we were to split "x" in quantities of 27:19:14:11 ratio, what we do is, we simply divide "x" by (27+19+14+11), and then distribute accordingly.

so, if we divide the total amount like that, we end up with fragments of the total, and each ratio gets so many fragments.

so, we know the German stock or that ratio gets $238 millions, and in those 238, since it's on a 14 ratio, there are 14 of those fragments of the total, how much is a fragment anyway?  well, simply how many times does 14 go into 238?  238 ÷ 14 = 17.
