Step-by-step explanation:
y = ax^n + bx^(n-1) ... + z
(0, 1) tells us that the constant term z = 1.
because x = 0 eliminates all other terms. and as the sum is 1, that means z = 1.
for the other pairs I strongly suspect
(-1, 3) : 2×(-1)² + 1 = 2×1 + 1 = 3
(-2, 9) : 2×(-2)² + 1 = 2×4 + 1 = 9
so, the fitting equation is
y = 2x² + 1
Answer:
24 purple jelly beans
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told in the question that;
Lucas had a mix of red and purple jelly beans. There were 2 red jelly beans for every 3 purple jelly beans.
The results in a ratio
2:3
Where 2 represented red jelly beans
3 represented purple jelly beans
Total number of jelly beans = 40 jelly beans.
The number of purple jelly beans that we have =
3/( 2 + 3) × 40
= 3/5 × 40
= 3 × 8
= 24.
Hence, there are 24 purple jelly beans in the bag.
Y2-y1/x2-x1 is slope so
9-9/14-(-20) so you get 0/34 which means there is no slope since they have the same y (the equation would be y=0x+9 therefore y=9)
Which makes sense since the equation is a straight line
Answer:
If it is less than 3, Player 1 earns 3 points.
If not, Player 2 earns 2 points.
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Player 1</u> :
p(N < 3) = p(N = 1 or N = 2) = 2/5
<u>Player 2</u> :
p(N ≥ 3) = p(N = 3 or N = 4 or N = 5) = 3/5
<u>We notice that</u> :
p(N < 3) × 3 = (2/5) × 3 = 6/5
On the other hand,
p(N ≥ 3) × 2 = (3/5) × 2 = 6/5
since ,the probability player 1 win multiplied by the associated number of points (3)
is equal to
the probability player 2 win multiplied by the associated number of points (2).
Then the game is fair.
