Step-by-step explanation:

Transformation is the movement of a point from one place to another. If an object is transformed, all the points of the object are being changed. There are different types of transformation which are: Reflection, rotation, translation  and dilation.

Reflection of a point is the flipping of a point. If a point A(x, y) is reflected across the x axis, the new point is A'(x, -y). If a point B(x, y) is reflected across the y axis, the new point is A'(-x, y).

The coordinates of point L on a coordinate grid are (−2, −4), if Point L is reflected across the y-axis to obtain point M, the coordinates of M is at (2, -4).

if Point L is reflected across the x-axis to obtain point N, the coordinates of N is at (-2, 4).

Answer:

After 32 minutes the two pools will have the same amount of water.

There will be 1,366 liters in each pool when they have the same amount of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write a system of equations:

The first pool contains 720 liters of water, and it’s being added at a rate of 19.25 liters per minute.

First Pool = 720 +19.25 m

Where m is the number of minutes.

The second pool is empty, and Water is being added at a rate of 41.75 liters per minute

Second pool = 41.75m

Since both pools must have the same amount of water:

720 +19.25 m = 41.75m

Solving for m:

720 = 41.75m-19.25 m

720 = 22.5m

720/22.5 = m

32 = m

After 32 minutes the two pools will have the same amount of water.

Finally, we replace m=32 on any equation:

41.75m = 41.75 (32) = 1,336 liters

There will be 1,366 liters in each pool when they have the same amount of water.

Answer:

1. [tex]\bold{S=f(P) = 0.07P}[/tex]

2. x = 16

3. Part 1: P is the independent variable and S is the dependent variable.

Part 2: x is the independent variable and y is the dependent variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To write the function notation for:

Sales tax is 7% of the total price.

Let the total price be [tex]P[/tex].

And sales tax be [tex]S[/tex].

As per the given statement:

[tex]S = 7\% \ of\ P\\\Rightarrow S =\dfrac{7}{100}P\\\Rightarrow S=0.07P[/tex]

Writing it in the function notation:

[tex]\bold{S=f(P) = 0.07P}[/tex]

2. To find the value of x such that [tex]f(x) = 14[/tex] and

[tex]f(x) = \dfrac{1}4x + 10[/tex]

Putting the value of [tex]f(x) = 14[/tex]

[tex]14 = \dfrac{1}4x + 10\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}4x =14-10\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}4x =4\\\Rightarrow x =4\times 4\\\Rightarrow \bold{x =16}[/tex]

3. To find the dependent and independent variable.

Independent variables are those whose value is not dependent on the other variable's values.

Dependent variables are dependent on the value of other variables.

In question 1:

[tex]\bold{S=f(P) = 0.07P}[/tex]

P is the independent variable.

S is the dependent variable.

In question 2:

If we write it as follows:

[tex]y=f(x) = \dfrac{1}4x + 10[/tex]

x is the independent variable and y is the dependent variable.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve an equation by completing the square in a quadratic formula

f(x)=ax²+bx+c

example :x²-6x-16=0

first rearrange if necessary, move the constant to one side .

x²-6x=16

second you find a new term to complete the square which is (b/2)², and add the term to both sides.(6/2)²=3²=9

x²-6x+9=16+9

x²-6x+9=25

third  factorize : find the common factor between 6 and 9 which is 3

x²-6x+9=25

(x-3)²=25

last solve for x: (x-3)²=25

x-3=√25

x=3±5

x=3+5=8 or 3-5=-2

1. [tex] \frac{1}{1 - x} + \frac{x}{ {x}^{2} - 1} [/tex]

Use [tex] \frac{ - a}{b} = \frac{a}{ - b} = - \frac{a}{b} [/tex] to rewrite the fractions

[tex] - \frac{1}{x - 1} + \frac{x}{(x - 1)(x + 1)} [/tex]

Write all numerators above the Least Common Denominator ( X - 1 ) ( X + 1 )

[tex] \frac{ - (x + 1) + x}{(x - 1)(x + 1)} [/tex]

When there is a ( - ) in front of an expression in parentheses , change the sign of each term in the expression

[tex] \frac{ - x - 1 + x}{(x - 1)(x + 1)} [/tex]

Using [tex](a - b)(a + b) = {a}^{2} - {b}^{2} [/tex] , simplify the product

[tex] \frac{ - x - 1 + x}{ {x}^{2} - 1 } [/tex]

Since two opposites add up to zero, remove them from the expression

[tex] \frac{ - 1}{ {x}^{2} - 1} [/tex]

So, Option A is the right option.

___________________________________

2.

[tex] \frac{ {x}^{2} - x - 12}{ {x}^{2} - 16} - \frac{1 - 2x}{x + 4} [/tex]

Write - X as a difference

[tex] \frac{ {x}^{2} + 3x - 4x - 12 }{ {x}^{2} - 16 } - \frac{1 - 2x}{x + 4} [/tex]

Using [tex] {a}^{2} - {b}^{2} = (a - b)(a + b)[/tex] , factor the expression

[tex] \frac{ {x}^{2} + 3x - 4x - 12 }{(x - 4)(x + 4)} - \frac{1 - 2x}{x + 4} [/tex]

Factor the expression

[tex] \frac{x(x + 3) - 4(x + 3)}{(x - 4)(x + 4)} - \frac{1 - 2x}{x + 4} [/tex]

Factor out X+3 from the expression

[tex] \frac{(x + 3)(x - 4)}{(x - 4)(x + 4)} - \frac{1 - 2x}{x + 4} [/tex]

Reduce the fraction with x-4

[tex] \frac{x + 3}{x + 4} - \frac{1 - 2x}{x + 4} [/tex]

Write all the numerators above the common denominator

[tex] \frac{x + 3 - ( 1- 2x)}{x + 4} [/tex]

When there is a (-) in front of an expression in parentheses, change the sign of each term in the expression

[tex] \frac{x + 3 - 1 + 2x}{x + 4} [/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex] \frac{3x + 3 - 1}{x + 4} [/tex]

Subtract the numbers

[tex] \frac{3x + 2}{x + 4} [/tex]

Undefined at,

X + 4 = 0

Move constant to R.H.S and change its sign

[tex]x = 0 - 4[/tex]

Calculate

[tex]x = - 4[/tex]

So, the answer is :

[tex] \frac{3x + 2}{x + 4} [/tex] , undefined at X = -4 and 4

Answer:

Option (4) and Option (5)

Step-by-step explanation:

By calculating the second difference, if the second difference in a table is equal, table will represent the quadratic relationship.

In the given option, we analyze that table given in Option (4) will represent the quadratic relationship.

x             y             Ist difference [tex](y_2-y_1)[/tex]         IInd difference

0            4                      -                                             -

1            -4             -4 - (4) = -8                                     -    

2           -4             -4 - (-4) = 0                              0 - (-8) = 8

3            4              4 - (-4) = 8                                  8 - 0 = 8

Second difference of the terms in y are the same as 8.

Therefore, table of Option (4) represents the quadratic relationship.

Similarly, in Option (5) we will calculate the second difference of y terms.

x            y            Ist difference     IInd difference

0          -4                    -                            -

1           -8             -8 - (-4) = -4                 -

2          -10           -10 - (-8) = -2        -2 - (-4) = 2      

3          -10           -10 - (-10) = 0        0 - (-2) = 2

Here the second difference is same as 2.

Therefore, table of Option (5) will represent the quadratic relationship.

Option 5 is wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

The probability that the first card is a Heart and the second card is a Spade is 0.064.

Step-by-step explanation:

A standard deck of 52 cards is shuffled and two cards are drawn without replacement.

The denominations of the cards are as follows:

Spades (S) = 13

Hearts (H) = 13

Diamonds (D) = 13

Clubs (C) = 13

Compute the probability of selecting a Heart first as follows:

[tex]P(H)=\frac{13}{52}=0.25[/tex]

Compute the probability of selecting a Spade second as follows:

[tex]P(S)=\frac{13}{51}=0.255[/tex]

Since the two cards are selected without replacement the second draw is independent of the other.

Then the probability that the first card is a Heart and the second card is a Spade is:

[tex]P(1st\ H\cap 2nd\ S)=P(H)\times P(S)[/tex]

                            [tex]=0.25\times 0.255\\=0.06375\\\approx 0.064[/tex]

Thus, the probability that the first card is a Heart and the second card is a Spade is 0.064.

Answer:

'll tell you where the problem lies - it is IMPOSSIBLE to form triangles like this.

If the perimeter of the smallest triangle is 6 and one side is 3, then the sum of the other two sides can only be 6 - 3 = 3

One property to enable you to form a triangle is that NO ONE SIDE can be greater or equal to the sum of the other two sides. In the smallest triangle 1 side of length 3 equals the other two sides.

In the middle triangle one side of length "4" equals the sum of the other two sides and

In the large triangle one side of length "5" equals the other two sides.

Therefore when I say "triangle" above I am not actually correct because it is IMPOSSIBLE to form triangles with those dimensions of 1 side and with those perimeters

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

if multiply the 3 factors together you get

(x² - x - 2)(x - 3) - trinomial x binomial

x³ - 3x²- x² + 3x - 2x + 6 - polynomial

x³ - 4x² + x + 6, this is the polynomial with those factors.

Poly means many so it could be a bigger polynomial with more factors but if it is limited to only these factors than there is just the one polynomial.

The polynomial is x³ - 4x² + x + 6 with factors (x-2), (x+1), and (x-3)

A polynomial is the defined as mathematical expression that have a minimum of two terms containing variables or numbers. A polynomial can have more than one term.

Arithmetic operations can also be specified by subtracting, dividing, and multiplying built-in functions. The operator that performs the arithmetic operation is called the arithmetic operator.

Operators which let do a basic mathematical calculation

+ Addition operation: Adds values on either side of the operator.

For example 12 + 2 = 14

- Subtraction operation: Subtracts the right-hand operand from the left-hand operand.

for example 12 -2 = 10

* Multiplication operation: Multiplies values on either side of the operator

For example 12*2 = 24

Given that ,

P(x) has three factors (x-2), (x+1), and (x-3).

Multiplying the 3 factors together, we get

⇒ (x-2)(x+1)(x-3)

⇒ [x(x-3) - 2(x+1)](x-3)

⇒ (x² - x - 2)(x - 3)

⇒ x³ - 3x²- x² + 3x - 2x + 6

Rearrange the terms likewise and apply arithmetic operations

⇒ x³ - 4x² + x + 6

Hence, the polynomial is x³ - 4x² + x + 6 with factors (x-2), (x+1), and (x-3).

Answer:

(a).   y'(1)=0  and    y'(2) = 3

(b).  [tex]$y'(t)=kb2t\cos(bt^2)$[/tex]

(c).  [tex]$ b = \frac{\pi}{2} \text{ and}\ k = \frac{3}{2\pi}$[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

(a). Let the curve is,

[tex]$y(t)=k \sin (bt^2)$[/tex]

So the stationary point or the critical point of the differential function of a single real variable , f(x) is the value [tex]x_{0}[/tex]  which lies in the domain of f where the derivative is 0.

Therefore,  y'(1)=0

Also given that the derivative of the function y(t) is 3 at t = 2.

Therefore, y'(2) = 3.

(b).

Given function,    [tex]$y(t)=k \sin (bt^2)$[/tex]

Differentiating the above equation with respect to x, we get

[tex]y'(t)=\frac{d}{dt}[k \sin (bt^2)]\\ y'(t)=k\frac{d}{dt}[\sin (bt^2)][/tex]

Applying chain rule,

[tex]y'(t)=k \cos (bt^2)(\frac{d}{dt}[bt^2])\\ y'(t)=k\cos(bt^2)(b2t)\\ y'(t)= kb2t\cos(bt^2)[/tex]  

(c).

Finding the exact values of k and b.

As per the above parts in (a) and (b), the initial conditions are

y'(1) = 0 and y'(2) = 3

And the equations were

[tex]$y(t)=k \sin (bt^2)$[/tex]

[tex]$y'(t)=kb2t\cos (bt^2)$[/tex]

Now putting the initial conditions in the equation y'(1)=0

[tex]$kb2(1)\cos(b(1)^2)=0$[/tex]

2kbcos(b) = 0

cos b = 0   (Since, k and b cannot be zero)

[tex]$b=\frac{\pi}{2}$[/tex]

And

y'(2) = 3

[tex]$\therefore kb2(2)\cos [b(2)^2]=3$[/tex]

[tex]$4kb\cos (4b)=3$[/tex]

[tex]$4k(\frac{\pi}{2})\cos(\frac{4 \pi}{2})=3$[/tex]

[tex]$2k\pi\cos 2 \pi=3$[/tex]

[tex]2k\pi(1) = 3$[/tex]  

[tex]$k=\frac{3}{2\pi}$[/tex]

[tex]$\therefore b = \frac{\pi}{2} \text{ and}\ k = \frac{3}{2\pi}$[/tex]

The y'(1) =0, y'(2) = 3, and the  [tex]\rm y'(t) = kb2t \ cos(bt^2)[/tex]  and value of b and k are [tex]\pi/2[/tex]  and  [tex]3/2\pi[/tex] respectively.

It is given that the curve  [tex]\rm y(t) = ksin(bt^2)[/tex]

It is required to find the critical point, first derivative, and smallest value of b.

It is defined as a special type of relationship and they have a predefined domain and range according to the function.

We have a curve:

[tex]\rm y(t) = ksin(bt^2)[/tex]

Given that the first critical point of y(t) for positive t occurs at t = 1

First, we have to find the first derivative of the function or curve:

[tex]\rm y'(t) = \frac{d}{dt} (ksin(bt^2))[/tex]

[tex]\rm y'(t) = k\times2bt\times cos(bt^2)[/tex]   [ using chain rule]

[tex]\rm y'(t) = kb2t \ cos(bt^2)[/tex]

y(0) = 0

y'(0) = 0

The critical point is the point where the derivative of the function becomes 0 at that point in the domain of a function.

From the critical point y'(1) = 0 ⇒  [tex]\rm kb2 \ cos(b) =0[/tex]

k and b can not be zero

[tex]\rm cos(b) = 0[/tex]

b = [tex]\rm \frac{\pi}{2}[/tex]

and y'(2) =3

[tex]\rm y'(2) = kb2\times 2 \times cos(b\times2^2) =3\\\\\rm 4kb \ cos(4b) =3[/tex](b =[tex]\rm \frac{\pi}{2}[/tex])

[tex]\rm 4k\frac{\pi}{2} \ cos(4\frac{\pi}{2} ) =3\\\\\rm2 \pi kcos(2\pi) = 3[/tex]

[tex]\rm2 \pi k\times1) = 3\\\rm k = \frac{3}{2\pi}[/tex]

Thus, y'(1) =0, y'(2) = 3, and the  [tex]\rm y'(t) = kb2t \ cos(bt^2)[/tex]  and value of b and k are [tex]\pi/2[/tex]  and  [tex]3/2\pi[/tex] respectively.

Answer:

Approximatley 5.8 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two angles, ∠S and ∠T, and the side opposite to ∠T. We need to find the unknown side opposite to ∠S. Therefore, we can use the Law of Sines. The Law of Sines states that:

[tex]\frac{\sin(A)}{a}=\frac{\sin(B)}{b} =\frac{\sin(C)}{c}[/tex]

Replacing them with the respective variables, we have:

[tex]\frac{\sin(S)}{s} =\frac{\sin(T)}{t} =\frac{\sin(R)}{r}[/tex]

Plug in what we know. 20° for ∠S, 17° for ∠T, and 5 for t. Ignore the third term:

[tex]\frac{\sin(20)}{s}=\frac{\\sin(17)}{5}[/tex]

Solve for s, the unknown side. Cross multiply:

[tex]\frac{\sin(20)}{s}=\frac{\sin(17)}{5}\\5\sin(20)=s\sin(17)\\s=\frac{5\sin(20)}{\sin(17)} \\s\approx5.8491\approx5.8[/tex]

If the die rolls [tex]i[/tex] we choose a combination of [tex]i[/tex] balls, among 10 black and five white balls, therefore

\[ \begin{array}{c}

P\left(A \mid E_{1}\right)=\frac{\left(\begin{array}{c} 5 \\

1 \end{array}\right)}{\left(\begin{array}{c} 15 \\ 1 \end{array}\right)}=\frac{5}{15}=\frac{1}{3} \\ P\left(A \mid E_{2}\right)=\frac{\left(\begin{array}{c} 5 \\ 2 \end{array}\right)}{\left(\begin{array}{c} 15 \\ 2

\end{array}\right)}=\frac{10}{105}=\frac{2}{21} \\

P\left(A \mid E_{3}\right)=\frac{\left(\begin{array}{c} 5 \\ 3

\end{array}\right)}{\left(\begin{array}{c} 15 \\ 3

\end{array}\right)}=\frac{10}{455}=\frac{2}{91} \\

P\left(A \mid E_{4}\right)=\frac{\left(\begin{array}{c} 5 \\ 4

\end{array}\right)}{\left(\begin{array}{c} 15 \\ 4

\end{array}\right)}=\frac{1}{273} \\

P\left(A \mid E_{5}\right)=\frac{\left(\begin{array}{c} 5 \\ 5

\end{array}\right)}{\left(\begin{array}{c} 15 \\ 5

\end{array}\right)}=\frac{1}{3003} \\

P\left(A \mid E_{6}\right)=\frac{\left(\begin{array}{c} 5 \\ 6

\end{array}\right)}{\left(\begin{array}{c} 15 \\ 6

\end{array}\right)}=0

\end{array} \]

Answer:

d) -3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is given as:

y = a(x - h)² + k. Where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola.

Given that the vertex of the parabola is at (4,-3) i.e h = 4 and k = -3.

The equation of the parabola is given as:

y = a(x - 4)² + (-3)

y = a(x² - 8x + 16) - 3

y = ax² - 8ax + 16a - 3

Given that when x = 5, y = -6. i.e:

-6 = a(5)² - 8a(5) + 16a - 3

- 6 = 25a - 40a + 16a - 3

-6 + 3 = a

a = -3
