how is this solved..?

Answer:  d) 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line passing through (a,b) and (c,d):

[tex](y-b)=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}(x-a)[/tex]

Equation of a line passing through (2, 18) and (–3, 8):

[tex](y-18)=\dfrac{8-18}{-3-2}(x-2)\\\\\Rightarrow\ (y-18)=\dfrac{-10}{-5}(x-2)\\\\\Rightarrow\ (y-18)=2(x-2)\\\\\Rightarrow\ y-18=2x-4\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=2x-4+18\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=2x+14[/tex]

Comparing resulting equation [tex]y=2x+14[/tex] to [tex]y = m x + b[/tex], we get value of b= 14.

Hence, correct option is d) 14

Answer:

Please refer to attached image for the graph of inequality.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality:

[tex]y<-\dfrac{1}{5}x+1[/tex]

To graph this, first let us convert it to corresponding equality.

[tex]y=-\dfrac{1}{5}x+1[/tex]

As we can see that the above equation is a linear equation in two variables so it will be a straight line.

Now, let us find at least two points on the above equation so that we can plot them and then extend it to get the complete graph.

Two points that can be easily found, are:

1st put [tex]x = 0[/tex] , [tex]y=-\frac{1}{5}\times 0+1 =1[/tex]

So one point is (0, 1 )

Now, put y = 0,  

[tex]0=-\frac{1}{5}\times x+1\\\Rightarrow 1=\frac{1}{5}\times x\\\Rightarrow x = 5[/tex]

Second point is (5, 0)

Let us plot the points on the graph and extend the straight line.

Now, we know that it is an inequality, the are will be shaded.

As there is no equal to sign in the inequality, so the line will be dashed.

Let us consider one point and check whether that satisfies the inequality or not.

If the point is satisfied in the inequality, we will shade that area towards the point.

Let us consider the point (0, 0).

0 < 0 +1

Point is satisfied.

Please refer to the attached image for the graph of given inequality.

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

5 - (4 - 3x) = 10 ← distribute the terms in the parenthesis by - 1

5 - 4 + 3x = 10, that is

1 + 3x = 10 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

3x = 9 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 3

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\cot(x-\frac{\pi}{2})=-\tan(x)[/tex]

Convert the cotangent to cosine over sine:

[tex]\frac{\cos(x-\frac{\pi}{2} )}{\sin(x-\frac{\pi}{2})} =-\tan(x)[/tex]

Use the cofunction identities. The cofunction identities are:

[tex]\sin(x)=\cos(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)\\\cos(x)=\sin(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)[/tex]

To convert this, factor out a negative one from the cosine and sine.

[tex]\frac{\cos(-(\frac{\pi}{2}-x ))}{\sin(-(\frac{\pi}{2}-x))} =-\tan(x)[/tex]

Recall that since cosine is an even function, we can remove the negative. Since sine is an odd function, we can move the negative outside:

[tex]\frac{\cos((\frac{\pi}{2}-x ))}{-\sin((\frac{\pi}{2}-x))} =-\tan(x)\\-\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)} =-\tan(x)\\-\tan(x)\stackrel{\checkmark}{=}-\tan(x)[/tex]

A discrete random variable has a countable number of possible values. In this case I am pretty sure it is either none of the above or maybe the phone one.

Discrete random variables are simply countable, which should be a finite number and it should not change continuously. So, Time worked on a job is the discrete random variable among the four options.          

A random variable is said to be discrete if an experiment gives a finite number that is countable and should not change continuously.

Here, Time worked on a job has a fixed time for a job has to be done. So, it is a discrete random variable.

Answer:

Option C. P = 3/q

Step-by-step explanation:

To know the the correct answer to the question, do the following:

Let us assume a certain number for P say 2 and 3, and then, find the corresponding value for q in each case to see which will give a decreased value for q.

Option A

When P = 2, q =.?

P = 3q

2 = 3q

Divide both side by 3

q = 2/3

When P = 3, q =.?

P = 3q

3 = 3q

Divide both side 3

q = 3/3

q = 1

From the above illustration, we can see that as P increase, q also increase.

Option B

When P = 2, q =.?

P – 3 = q

2 – 3 = q

q = – 1

When P = 3, q =.?

P – 3 = q

3 – 3 = q

q = 0

From the above illustration, we can see that as P increase, q also increase.

Option C

When P = 2, q =.?

P = 3/q

2 = 3/q

Cross multiply

2 × q = 3

Divide both side by 2

q = 3/2

q = 1.5

When P = 3, q =.?

P = 3/q

3 = 3/q

Cross multiply

3 × q = 3

Divide both side by 3

q = 3/3

q = 1

From the above illustration, we can see that as P increase, q decreases.

Option D.

When P = 2, q =.?

1/p = 3/q

1/2 = 3/q

Cross multiply

1 × q = 2 × 3

q = 6

When P = 3, q =.?

1/p = 3/q

1/3 = 3/q

Cross multiply

1 × q = 3 × 3

q = 9

From the above illustration, we can see that as P increase, q also increase.

Now, haven done the above, only option C gives a decreased value for q as the value of P increases.

Answer:

174

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

132, 145, 97, 112, 128, 82

Required

Estimate amount of students in an art class

This is calculated by obtaining the mean of the given data

[tex]Mean = \frac{\sum x}{n}[/tex]

Where n is the number of observations

So;  n = 6

[tex]Mean = \frac{132+ 145+ 97+ 112+ 128+ 82}{6}[/tex]

[tex]Mean = \frac{696}{6}[/tex]

[tex]Mean = 174.0[/tex]

Hence, the estimated number of students is 174

Answer:

First, an asymptote means that the function "tends to go" to a value, bt actually never reaches it.

The functions here are:

A.f(x) = 2 + 1

B.f(x) = x^2 + 1

c.f(x) = x^2 - 1

D.f(x) == +1

The functions are really poorly written, but i will try to answer this.

first:

"a root at x = -1"

Means that f(-1) = 0,

The only function that is zero when x = -1, is the option c.

f(-1) = (-1)^2 - 1 = 1 - 1 = 0.

Now, if we want to have a vertical asymptote at x = 2, then we should have a function like:

[tex]f(x) = \frac{something}{x - 2}[/tex]

So we want to have a quotient, where the denominator is equal to zero when x = 2, this will lead to a vertical asymptote.

I can not see this in the options provided, so i guess that the functions are just not well written.

For a horizontal asymptote, we have something like:

[tex]f(x) = \frac{something}{x} + 1[/tex]

So as x starts to grow, the first term in the function will start to decrease, until it becomes really close to zero (but is never equal to zero) so in that case we have an horizontal asymptote to f(x) = 1.

Answer:

x = 6 gallons (of 30% alcohol)

y = 12 gallons (of 60% alcohol)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = liters of 30% alcohol

y = liters of 60% alcohol

There are two unknowns, we need two equations

x + y = 18. (1)

0.30x + 0.60y = 0.50(x+y) (2)

From (1)

x + y = 18

y = 18-x

Substitute the value of y into (2) and solve for x:

0.30x + 0.60y = 0.50(x+y)

0.30x + 0.60(18-x) = 0.50(x+18-x)

0.30x + 10.8 - 0.60x = 0.50(18)

10.8 - 0.30x = 9

-0.30x = -1.8

Divide both sides by -0.30

x = 6 gallons (of 30% alcohol)

Substitute x=6 into (1) and solve for y:

x + y = 18

6 + y = 18

y = 12 gallons (of 60% alcohol)

Answer:

The value representing one standard deviation  to the right of the mean is 55.

Step-by-step explanation:

The provided data set is:

S = {56, 54, 45, 52, and 48}

Compute the mean and standard deviation as follows:

[tex]\mu=\frac{1}{n}\sum X=\frac{1}{5}\times [56+54+45+52+48]=51\\\\\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{1}{n}\sum (X-\mu)^{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{5}\cdot {(56-51)^{2}+...+(48-51)^{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{5}\times 80}=4[/tex]

Compute the value representing one standard deviation  to the right of the mean as follows:

[tex]X=\mu+1\cdot \sigma[/tex]

    [tex]=51+(1\times 4)\\=51+4\\=55[/tex]

Thus, the value representing one standard deviation  to the right of the mean is 55.

Answer:

a. Please check the explanation for filling of the empty column on the table

b. The mean of the random variable x is 7/11

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Firstly, we are concerned with completing the table.

To do this, we simply need to multiply the values in the column of x by the values in the column of p(x)

Thus, we have the following;

2. 3 * 2/36 = 6/36

3. 4 * 3/36 = 12/36

4. 5 * 4/36 = 20/36

5. 6 * 5/36 = 30/36

6. 7 * 6/36 = 42/36

7. 8 * 5/36 = 40/36

8. 9 * 4/36 = 36/36

9. 10 * 3/36 = 30/36

10. 11 * 2/36 = 22/36

11. 12 * 1/36 = 12/36

b. We want to find the mean of the random variable x.

All what we need to do here is add all the values of x•P(x) together, then divide by 11.

Thus, we have

(2/36 + 6/36 + 12/36 + 20/36 + 30/36 + 42/36 + 40/36 + 36/36 + 30/36 + 22/36 + 12/36)/11

Since the denominator is same for all, we simply add all the numerators together;

(252/36) * 11 = 252/396 = 63/99 = 7/11

Answer:

Actual SAT Score = 815.284

Equivalent ACT Score = 15.811

The equivalent ACT Score = 29.95

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

Scores on the SAT test are normally distributed with :

Mean = 982

Standard deviation = 198

If a student gets an SAT score that is the 20-percentile

Then ;

P(Z ≤ z ) = 0.20

From the standard z-score for percentile distribution.

z = -0.842

Therefore, the actual SAT Score can be computed as follows:

Actual SAT score = Mean + (z score × Standard deviation)

Actual SAT score =  982 +  (- 0.842 × 198)

Actual SAT score = 982 + ( - 166.716)

Actual SAT score =  982  - 166.716

Actual SAT Score = 815.284

Scores on the ACT test are normally distributed with a mean of 19.6 and a standard deviation of 4.5.

Mean = 19.6

Standard deviation = 4.5

Equivalent ACT Score = 19.6 +  (- 0.842 × 4.5)

Equivalent ACT Score = 19.6 +  ( - 3.789)

Equivalent ACT Score = 15.811

If a student gets an SAT score of 1437, find the equivalent ACT score.

So , if the SAT Score = 1437

Then , using the z formula , we can determine the equivalent ACT Score

[tex]z = \dfrac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]z = \dfrac{1437 - 982}{198}[/tex]

[tex]z = \dfrac{455}{198}[/tex]

z =2.30

The equivalent ACT Score = 19.6 + (2.30 × 4.5)

The equivalent ACT Score = 19.6 +  10.35

The equivalent ACT Score = 29.95
