If f(x)=ax+b and f(2)=1 and f(-3)=11, what is the value of A?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=ax+b

f(2)=1  

f(-3)=11

f(2) = 1   means   2a+b =1

f(-3)=11   means   -3a + b = 11

Subtracting the two equations

-(-3a +b =11) becomes 3a -b = -11   so we can add

2a+b =1

3a - b = -11

----------------------

5a = -10

Divide by 5

5a/5 = -10/5

a=-2

Answers

Answer:

15.7 in  

Step-by-step explanation:

A slice of a round pie is a sector of a circle.

The perimeter of a slice is the arc length s plus twice the radius r.

P = s + 2r

s = rθ = r(16/360) = r/22.5. So,

16 = (r/22.5) + 2r = (r + 45r)/22.5 = 46r/22.5

16 × 22.5 = 46r

360 = 46r

r = 7.826  

D = 2r = 2 × 7.826 = 15.7 in

The diameter of the cake should be 15.7 in.

Check:

[tex]\begin{array}{rcl}P & = & s + 2r\\& = & \dfrac{r}{22.5} + 2r\\\\16 & = & \dfrac{7.826}{22.5} + 2 \times 7.826\\\\16 & = & 0.35 + 15.65\\16 & = & 16.00\\\end{array}[/tex]

Scores on a University exam are normally distributed with a mean of 68 and a standard deviation of 9. Using the 68-95-99.7 rule, what percentage of students score above 77?

Answers

Answer:

0.1585, or 15.85%

Step-by-step explanation:

On a standard bell curve, the area from 77 to 100 falls within the 95.45 to 99.73 range.

99.73 - 68.27 = 31.46

31.46 / 2 =15.73

99.7 - 68 = 31.7

31.7 / 2 = 15.85

Answers

Answer:

24 = x+6

x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

N = 24

T = x

N = x+6  

24 = x+6

Subtract 6 from each side

24-6 = x+6-6

18 = x

Time has 6 marbles

Nirja has 6 more than Tim,

So you can subtract 6 from 24 to find x:

24-6 = x

Or you can add 6 to x to equal 24:

x + 6 = 24

You don't list the choices but it should be one of these.

Answers

Answer:

The square root property requires a quantity squared by itself on one side of the equation. The only quantity squared is​ x, so divide both sides by 2 before applying the square root property.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the above question, we are given the expression: 2x^2=16 and we are asked the proper way to apply the square root property.

2x² = 16 is an algebraic equation

To apply square root property to an expression, there must be only one quantity that is squared.

Step 1

We divide both sides by 2

This is because we have to first eliminate the coefficient of x

2x²/2 = 16/2

x² = 8

Step 2

Now that we have eliminated the coefficient of x², we can apply the square root property now because x is the only quantity that is squared.

√x² = √8

x = √8

Therefore, Option 2 which says: "The square root property requires a quantity squared by itself on one side of the equation. The only quantity squared is​ x, so divide both sides by 2 before applying the square root property." is the correct option

A. Which variable is the dependent variable?
B. Compute the least squares estimated line.
C. Compute the correlation coefficient between temperature and the sales of coffee.
D. Predict sales of a 90 degree day.

Answers

Answer:

1. cups of coffee sold

2.Y = 605.7 - 5.943x

3. -0.952

4. 70.84

Step-by-step explanation:

1. the dependent variable in this question is the cups of coffee sold

2. least square estimation line

Y = a+bx

we have y as the cups of coffee sold

x as temperature.

first we will have to solve for a and then b

∑X = 450

∑Y = 960

∑XY = 61600

∑X² = 35500

∑Y² = 221800

a = ∑y∑x²-∑x∑xy/n∑x²-(∑x)²

a = 960 * 35500-450*61600/6*35500-450²

a = 6360000/10500

= 605.7

b = n∑xy - ∑x∑y/n∑x²-(∑x)²

= 6*61600 - 450*960/6*35500 - 450²

= -5.943

the regression line

Y = a + bx

Y = 605.7 - 5.943x

3. we are to find correlation coefficient

r = n∑xy - ∑x∑y multiplied by√(n∑x²-(∑x)² * (n∑y² - (∑y)²)

= 6*61600 -960*450/√(6*35500 - 450²)*(6*221800 - 960²)

=-62400/√4296600000

= -62400/65548.5

= -0.952

4. we have to predict sales of a 90 degree day fro the regression line

Y = 605.7 - 5.943x

y = 605.7 - 5.943(90)

y = 605.7 - 534.87

= 70.84

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

This blue line seems to be horizontal, and so a line perpendicular would have to be vertical. The only vertical line that passes through (2, 6) would be x = 2.

The equation of the line perpendicular to the given line and passes through the point (2, 6) is x = 2.

What is the Equation of line in Slope Intercept form?

Equation of a line in slope intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y intercept, which is the y coordinate of the point where it touches the Y axis.

Given is a line that passes through the points (-8, -4) and (8, -4).

This line is parallel to the X axis.

A line parallel to X axis has the equation y = b.

The y coordinate is -4 throughout the line.

So equation of the line is y = -4.

A line perpendicular to the given line will be parallel to Y axis.

Parallel lines to Y axis has the equation of the form x = a.

Line passes through the point (2, 6).

x coordinate will be 2 throughout.

So the equation of the perpendicular line is x = 2.

Hence the required equation is x = 2.

A TV studio has brought in 8 boy kittens and 9 girl kittens for a cat food commercial. The director is going to choose 11 of these kittens at random to be in the commercial. What is the probability that the director chooses 4 boy kittens and 7 girl kittens? Round your answer to three decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

0.204

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to use to solve this is the combination formula.

Combination formula =

C(n, r) = nCr = n!/r! (n - r)!

Total number of kittens = 8 boy kittens + 9 girl kittens

= 17 kittens

Step 1

We find the probability of choosing 4 boy kittens out of 8 boy kittens

= 8C4 = 8!/4! × (8 - 4)!

= 8C4 = 8! / 4! × 4!

= 8C4 = 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1/ (4 × 3 × 2 × 1) × (4 × 3 × 2 × 1)

8C4 = 70

Step 2

We find the probability of choosing 7 girl kittens out of 9 girl kittens

9C7 = 9!/7! × (9 - 7)!

= 9C7 = 9! / 7! × 2!

= 9C7 = 9 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1/ (7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1) × (2 × 1)

9C7 = 36

Step 3

Find the probability of Picking 11 kittens out of 17 kittens

17C11 = 17!/11! × (17 - 11)!

= 17C11 = 17! / 11! × 6!

= 17C11 = 17 × 16 × 15 × 14 × 13 × 12 × 11 × 10 × 9 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1/ (11 × 10 × 9 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1) × (6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1)

17C11 = 12,376

Step 4

The final step

The probability that the director chooses 4 boy kittens and 7 girl kittens

= 8C4 × 9C7/ 17C11

= 70 × 36/12376

= 2520/12376

= 0.2036199095

Approximately to 3 decimal places = 0.204

Therefore, the probability that the director chooses 4 boy kittens and 7 girl kittens is 0.204

Answers

Answer:

The  test is a two -tailed test

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  sample size is n  =  31

     The  sample mean is  [tex]\= x =11[/tex]

      The sample standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = 3[/tex]

       The null hypothesis is  [tex]H_o: \mu \le 10[/tex]

         The  alternative hypothesis is  [tex]H_1 : \mu > 10[/tex]  

         The level of significance is [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

 

The test  statistics is mathematically represented as

       [tex]t = \frac{ \= x - \mu }{ \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]

substituting values

      [tex]t = \frac{ 11 - 10 }{ \frac{3}{\sqrt{ 31} } }[/tex]

     [tex]t = 1.85[/tex]

The  p- value is mathematically represented as

       [tex]p-value = p( t > 1.856) = 0.0317[/tex]

Looking at the value of  [tex]p-value \ and \ \alpha[/tex] we see that [tex]p-value < \alpha[/tex] hence we reject the null hypothesis

Given the that the p value is less than 0.05 it mean the this is a two-tailed test

A. The plane needs to be about 15 meters higher to clear the tower.
B. The plane clears the tower with about 27 meters to spare.
C. The plane clears the tower with about 15 meters to spare.
D. The plane needs to be about 27 meters higher to clear the tower.

Answers

Answer:

D. The plane needs to be about 27 meters higher to clear the tower.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this scenario a triangle is being formed. The base the plane's takeoff point to the tower base which is 42 meters (x).

The hypothenus is the distance travelled by the plane which is 83 meters (h)

The height of the tower is 98 Meters

We want to calculate the height of our triangle (y) so we can guage if the plane scaled the tower.

According to Pythagorean theorem

(x^2) + (y^2) = h^2

y = √ (h^2) - (x^2)

y = √ (83^2) - (42^2)

y= √(6889 - 1764)

y= 71.59 Meters

The height from the plane's position to the top of the tower will be

Height difference = 98 - 71.59 = 26.41 Meters

So the plane should go about 27 Meters higher to clear the tower

2)
3% more students earned an A then B
3)
20% of the students earned a D
4)
1/4 of the class earned a B

Answers

Answer:

Option (3)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture attached,

Bar graph sketched shows the grades earned by the students in an exam.

Number of students who achieved the grade A = 17

Number of students who achieved grade B = 14

Number of students with grade C = 5

Number of students with grade D = 9

Total students who took the exam = 17 + 14 + 5 + 9 = 45

Option (1)

"[tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] of the students earned a C"

Fraction of students who earned C = [tex]\frac{\text{Students who earned C}}{\text{Total students}}[/tex]

                                                          = [tex]\frac{5}{45}[/tex]

                                                          = [tex]\frac{1}{9}[/tex]

Therefore, this option is incorrect.

Option (2)

"3% more students earned an A then B"

Percentage of students who earned A = [tex]\frac{\text{Students got A}}{\text{Total students who took the exam}}\times 100[/tex]

                                                                = [tex]\frac{17}{45}\times 100[/tex]

                                                                = 37.78%

Percentage of students who earned B = [tex]\frac{\text{Students got B}}{\text{Total students who took the exam}}\times 100[/tex]

                                                                = [tex]\frac{14}{45}\times 100[/tex]

                                                                = 31.11%

Difference in percentage = 37.78 - 31.11

                                          = 6.67%

Therefore, this option is not correct.

Option (3)

"20% of the students earned a D"

Percentage of students who earned D = [tex]\frac{\text{Students got D}}{\text{Total students who took the exam}}\times 100[/tex]

                                                                 = [tex]\frac{9}{45}\times 100[/tex]

                                                                 = 20%

Option (3) is the correct option.

Option (4)

" [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] of the class earned a B"

Fraction of class who earned B = [tex]\frac{\text{Students got B}}{\text{Total students who took the exam}}[/tex]

                                                    = [tex]\frac{14}{45}[/tex]

Therefore, Option (4) is not correct.

John receives a perpetuity paying 2 at the end of year 4, 4 at the end of year 6, 6 at the end of year 8, etc. The present value of this perpetuity at an annual effective rate of 10% equals X. Calculate X

Answers

Answer:

45.35

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question, we are told that the annual effective rate = 10% = 0.10

Note also that payment is been made every 2 years

Hence , we apply the formula of effective interest rate for a period of 2 years.

Effective Interest rate(j) = (1 + r)² - 1

= (1 + 0.10)² - 1

= 1.10² - 1

= 1.21

= 0.21

Present value of perpetuality = t/[j × j/(1 + r)²]

Where t = time in years = 2

r = 0.10

= 2/ [0.21 × 0.21/(1 + 0.10)²

= 54.87528

Present value at time t = 0

= 54.87528(1 + r)^-2

= 54.87528(1 + 0.10) ^-2

= 54.87528(1.10)^-2

= 45.35

Therefore, the present value at time (t) is 0 = 45.35

What is the area of the region bounded by the three lines with equations $2x+y = 8$, $2x-5y = 20$ and $x+y = 10$?

Answers

Answer:

  42

Step-by-step explanation:

A graphing tool is useful for finding the points of intersection of these lines. If the equations are numbered 1, 2, 3 in the order given, we can find the points of intersection to be ...

  equations 1, 2: A(5, -2)

  equations 2, 3: B(10, 0)

  equations (3, 1): C(-2, 12)

Then the area can be found from the coordinates using the formula ...

  A = (1/2)|x1(y2-y3) +x2(y3-y1) +x3(y1-y2)|

  = (1/2)|5(0-12) +10(12-(-2)) -2(-2-0))| = (1/2)|-60 +140 +4|

  A = 42

Noel pays $1.54 in sales tax.The sales tax rate is 5.5%,what the original price

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, there!!!

Let's simply work with it,

Here,

tax=$1.54

rate of tax= 5.5%

now, let the original price be x.

so, 5.5% of x= $1.54 { tax amount = tax% of original price}.

or, 5.5/100 × x= $1.54

or, 5.5x = $1.54×100

or, x= $28.

Therefore, the original price was $28.

Hope it helps...

The suppliers have limited capacity, and no one supplier can meet all the companys needs. In addition, the suppliers charge different prices for the components. Component price data (in price per unit) are as follows: Supplier Component 1 2 3 1 $10 $15 $14 2 $13 $12 $10 Each supplier has a limited capacity in terms of the total number of components it can supply. However, as long as Edwards provides sufficient advance orders, each supplier can devote its capacity to component 1, component 2, or any combination of the two components, if the total number of units ordered is within its capacity. Supplier capacities are as follows.
