Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Monica earned twice as much as Samuel

m = 2*s

Divide each side by 2

1/2 m = 1/2 ( 2s)

1/2 m = s

If monica earned 56

1/2 (56) = s

28 =s

Graph the equation: x = y^2 - 2

Lesechka [4]

Draw a cartesian plane, create a graph with the equation x = y^2 - 2
then substitute numbers into the equation so that it is true, to find points on the graph, e.g. substitute y with 1, you get
x = 1^2 - 2
x = 1 - 2 = -1, so when y = 1, x = -1, this point is (-1, 1)

for the next substitute y with 2,
x = 2^2 - 2
x = 4 - 2 = 2, the point is (2, 2)
you might want to try negative values of y
y = -1, x = (-1)^2 - 2
x = -1 the point is (-1,-1)

then plot the points on the graph

One senior from the high schools will be selected at random. What is the probability that the senior selected will not be from h

DochEvi [55]

Using the probability concept, it is found that there is a 0.7361 = 73.61% probability that the senior selected will not be from high school b given that the senior responded with a choice other than college.

<h3>What is a probability? </h3>

A <em>probability </em>is given by the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes</u>.

Researching the problem on the internet, it is found that:

538 seniors responded with a choice other than college.

Of those students, 99 + 83 + 49 + 31 + 63 + 71 = 396 are not from high school b.

Hence:

$p = \frac{396}{538} = 0.7361$

0.7361 = 73.61% probability that the senior selected will not be from high school b given that the senior responded with a choice other than college.

A flying carpet flies 2.4 miles with the wind in the same amount of time it flies 1.4 miles against the wind. The wind speed is

Ainat [17]

Answer:

$15.2~mph$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time flown by the flying carpet be $t$ . Then, we have that $(2.4)/t=(1.4)/t+2*4$ .

We multiply both sides of the equation by $t$ to get $2.4=1.4+8t$ .

We subtract $1.4$ from both sides to get $1=8t$ .

We divide both sides of the equation by $t=1/8$ .

We know that the speed of the flying carpet in still wind is the average of the rates of the speed of the flying carpet with the wind and against the wind.

The speed with wind is $(2.4)/(1/8)=19.2$ mph.

The speed against wind is $(1.4)/(1/8)=11.2$ mph.

The speed in still wind is $(19.2+11.2)/2=(30.4)/2=15.2$ .

Therefore, the answer is $\boxed{15.2~mph}$ and we're done!
