A. y + 2= x
B. y + 1= x
C. y - 1= x
D. y - 2= x
Please show ALL work! <3
The graph shown has a slope of +1 and a y intercept of -2.
All given answer choices have a slope of +1, so that's not the problem.

Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, there!!!
According to the question we must find the area of shaded region, but we must find area of circle and rectangle to find area of shaded region,
So, let's simply work with it,
Firstly, finding the area of rectangle,
length = 11cm.
breadth = 11cm.
now, area= length× breadth.
or, a = 11cm× 11cm.
a= 121cm^2
Now, let's work out the area of circle.
radius= 5cm
and pi. = 3.14 {using pi value as 3.14}
now,
area of a circle = pi× r^2
or, a= 3.14×5^2
or, a = 78.5 cm^2.
Therefore, The area of a circle is 78.5cm^2.
Now lastly finding the area of shadedregion,
area of shaded region = area of rectangle - area of circle.
or, area of shaded region = 121cm^2 - 78.5cm^2
Therefore, the area of shaded region is 42.5 cm^2.

Consider various ways of ordering the letters in the word TENNESSEE. TENENESES, EESSENNET, TNNEESSEE, and so on. (a) How many distinguishable orderings are there
Answer:
3780.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this we will start by just considering the number of ways to arrange 9 objects. We can do this in 9! ways.
However since we have 3 reoccurring letters in Tennessee namely n,s and e we need to remove the times these form the same arrangement. Let me give an example to show what this means. Lets say we have the arrangement:
ennetssee
Now what happens if we exchange the places of the letters n for example? Of course we get the same arrangement of letters. We don’t want to count these as 2 different arrangements since for our interests they are the same. We therefore divide 9! by the number of times this type of double counting occurs.
Since the word has the letter n occurring twice we will start by diving by 2! .
The letter s occurs 2 times as well so we will have to divide by 2! again.
Finally the letter e occurs 4 times and so we will have to divide by 4! here.
Now we get the following result:
9/(2 x 2 x 4)=3780.
So in conclusion there are 3780 different ways to arrange the letters in Tennessee.

What is the slope of the line shown below?
A.
B.
C.
-
D.
3
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Option D is correct. Slope of the line shown in the graph is 3.
The slope of the line is the ratio of the rise to the run, or rise divided by the run.
It describes the steepness of line in the coordinate plane.
The slope intercept form of a line is y=mx+b, where m is slope and b is the y intercept.
The slope of line passing through two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is
m=(y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)
The line is passing through point (2, 2) and (4, 8).
Lets find the corresponding point values y₂= 8, y₁ = 2, x₂= 4 and x₁ =2.
Plug in the values in slope formula:
Slope = (8-2)/(4-2)
=6/2
=3
Hence, slope of the line shown in the graph is 3. Option D is correct.

Suppose that a sample mean is .29 with a lower bound of a confidence interval of .24. What is the upper bound of the confidence interval?
Answer:
The upper bound of the confidence interval is 0.34
Step-by-step explanation:
Here in this question, we want to calculate the upper bound of the confidence interval.
We start by calculating the margin of error.
Mathematically, the margin of error = 0.29 -0.24 = 0.05
So to get the upper bound of the confidence interval, we simply add this margin of error to the mean
That would be 0.05 + 0.29 = 0.34

Answer:
0.4207149;0.7271136; 0.3063987; 0.04979 ; 0.01832
Step-by-step explanation:
For an exponential distribution:
IF Mean time until failure = 23100
λ = 1/ 23100 = 0.0000432900
What is the probability that a randomly selected fan will last at least 20,000 hours
x ≥ 20000
P(X ≥ 20000) = 1 - P(X ≤ 20000)
1 - P(X ≤ 20000) = [1 - (1 - e^(-λx))]
1 - P(X ≤ 20000) = [1 - (1 - e^(-0.0000432900*20000)
1 - P(X ≤ 20000) = [1 - (1 - 0.4207148)]
1 - P(X ≤ 20000) = 1 - 0.5792851
1 - P(X ≤ 20000) = 0.4207149
11) What is the probability that a randomly selected fan will last at most 30,000 hours?
x ≤ 30000
P(X ≤ 30000) = 1 - e^(-λx)
P(X ≤ 20000) = 1 - e^(-0.0000432900*30000)
= 1 - e^(−1.2987)
= 1 - 0.2728863
= 0.7271136
111) What is the probability that a randomly selected fan will last between 20,000 hours and 30,000 hours?
0.7271136 - 0.4207149 = 0.3063987
B) What is the probability that the lifetime of a fan exceeds the mean value by more than 2 standard deviations?
More than two standard deviation
X = 23100 + 2(23100) = 23100 + 46200 = 69300
Using the online exponential probability calculator :
P(X > 69300) = 0.04979
C) What is the probability that the lifetime of a fan exceeds the mean value by more than 3 standard deviations?
X = 23100 + 3(23100) = 23100 + 69300 = 92400
P(X > 92400) = 0.01832

(−∞, 3)(3, ∞) (−∞, −3)( −3, ∞) negative infinity to one fourth and one fourth to infinity negative infinity to negative one fourth and negative one fourth to infinity
Answer:
[tex](-\infty,1/4)\cup(1/4,\infty)[/tex]
The answer is C.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the rational function:
[tex]\displaystyle f(x) = \frac{x-3}{4x-1}[/tex]
In rational functions, the domain is always all real numbers except for the values when the denominator equals zero. In other words, we need to find the zeros of the denominator:
[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned}4x -1 & = 0 \\ \\ 4x & = 1 \\ \\ x & = \frac{1}{4} \end{aligned}[/tex]
Therefore, the domain is all real number except for x = 1/4.
In interval notation, this is:
[tex](-\infty,1/4)\cup(1/4,\infty)[/tex]
The left interval represents all the values to the left of 1/4.The right interval represents all the values to the right of 1/4. The union symbol is needed to combine the two. Note that we use parentheses instead of brackets because we do not include the 1/4 nor the infinities.
In conclusion, our answer is C.

Mid point of BD= [tex](\dfrac{-3+2}{2},\dfrac{5+2}{2})=(\dfrac{-1}{2},\dfrac{7}{2})[/tex]
Thus, Mid point of AC=Mid point of BD
i.e. diagonals bisect each other.

A mass of 5 kg stretches a spring 10 cm. The mass is acted on by an external force of 10sin( t ) N(newtons) and moves in a medium that imparts a viscous force of 2 N
when the speed of the mass is 4 cm/s. If the mass is set in motion from its equilibrium position with an initial velocity of 3 cm/s, formulate the initial value problem describing the motion of the mass.
A)Find the solution of the initial value problem in the above problem.
B)Plot the graph of the steady state solution
C)If the given external force is replaced by a force of 2 cos(ωt) of frequency ω , find the value of ω for which the amplitude of the forced response is maximum.
Answer:
A) C1 = 0.00187 m = 0.187 cm, C2 = 0.0062 m = 0.62 cm
B) A sample of how the graph looks like is attached below ( periodic sine wave )
C) w = [tex]\sqrt[4]{3}[/tex] is when the amplitude of the forced response is maximum
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data :
mass = 5kg
length of spring = 10 cm = 0.1 m
f(t) = 10sin(t) N
viscous force = 2 N
speed of mass = 4 cm/s = 0.04 m/s
initial velocity = 3 cm/s = 0.03 m/s
Formulating initial value problem
y = viscous force / speed = 2 N / 0.04 m/s = 50 N sec/m
spring constant = mg/ Length of spring = (5 * 9.8) / 0.1 = 490 N/m
f(t) = 10sin(t/2) N
using the initial conditions of u(0) = 0 m and u"(0) = 0.03 m/s to express the equation of motion
the equation of motion = 5u" + 50u' + 490u = 10sin(t/2)

4㏒(√x) - ㏒(3x) - ㏒(x²) = 0
*simplify each term:
㏒(x²) - ㏒(3x) - ㏒(x²)

The graph of F(x), shown below in pink, has the same shape as the graph of
G(x) = x3, shown in gray. Which of the following is the equation for F(x)?
Greetings from Brasil...
In this problem we have 2 translations: 4 units horizontal to the left and 3 units vertical to the bottom.
The translations are established as follows:
→ Horizontal
F(X + k) ⇒ k units to the left
F(X - k) ⇒ k units to the right
→ Vertical
F(X) + k ⇒ k units up
F(X) - k ⇒ k units down
In our problem, the function shifted 4 units horizontal to the left and 3 units vertical to the bottom.
F(X) = X³
4 units horizontal to the left: F(X + 4)
3 units vertical to the bottom: F(X + 4) - 3
So,
F(X) = X³
F(X + 4) - 3 = (X + 4)³ - 3The transformed function is f ( x ) = ( x + 4 )³ - 3 and the graph is plotted
What happens when a function is transformed?Every modification may be a part of a function's transformation.
Typically, they can be stretched (by multiplying outputs or inputs) or moved horizontally (by converting inputs) or vertically (by altering output).
If the horizontal axis is the input axis and the vertical is for outputs, if the initial function is y = f(x), then:
Vertical shift, often known as phase shift:
Y=f(x+c) with a left shift of c units (same output, but c units earlier)
Y=f(x-c) with a right shift of c units (same output, but c units late)
Vertical movement:
Y = f(x) + d units higher, up
Y = f(x) - d units lower, d
Stretching:
Stretching vertically by a factor of k: y = k f (x)
Stretching horizontally by a factor of k: y = f(x/k)
Given data ,
Let the function be represented as g ( x )
Now , the value of g ( x ) = x³
And , the transformed function has coordinates as A ( -4 , -3 )
So , when function is shifted 4 units to the left , we get
g' ( x ) = ( x + 4 )³
And , when the function is shifted vertically by 3 units down , we get
f ( x ) = ( x + 4 )³ - 3
Hence , the transformed function is f ( x ) = ( x + 4 )³ - 3

At the 0.01 level of significance, can it be concluded that state employees earn on average less than federal employees? What is the critical value? Round your answer to the nearest hundredths.
Answer:
Yes it can be concluded that state employees earn on average less than federal employees
The critical value is [tex]Z_{\alpha } = - 2.33[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The population mean is [tex]\mu = \$ 59593[/tex]
The sample size is n = 30
The sample mean is [tex]\= x = \$ 58800[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = \$ 1500[/tex]
The significance level is [tex]\alpha = 0.01[/tex]
The null hypothesis is [tex]H_o : \mu = \$ 59593[/tex]
The alternative hypothesis is [tex]H_a : \mu < \$ 59593[/tex]
The critical value of [tex]\alpha[/tex] from the normal distribution table is [tex]Z_{\alpha } = - 2.33[/tex]
Generally the test statistics is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]t = \frac{\= x - \mu}{ \frac{ \sigma }{ \sqrt{n} } }[/tex]
=> [tex]t = \frac{ 58800 - 59593 }{ \frac{ 1500 }{ \sqrt{30} } }[/tex]
=> [tex]t = -2.896[/tex]
The p-value is obtained from the z-table
[tex]p-value = P(t < -2.896) = 0.0018898[/tex]
Since [tex]p-value < \alpha[/tex] , we reject the null hypothesis, hence it can be concluded that state employees earn on average less than federal employees
