Find the equation of a line passing through the point (-4,1) and perpendicular to the
line 3y = 12x - 9.
Answer:
A. y=-1/4x
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the information 3y=12x-9, the lines are perpendicular, and the new line passes through (-4,1). First, you want to put the original equation into slope intercept form by isolating the y, to do this we need to divide everything by 3 to get y=4x-3. The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals so you need to find the negative reciprocal of 4, so flip it to 1/4 and multiply by -1, we get the slope of the new line as -1/4. So far we have the equation y=-1/4x+b. We are given a point on the line, (-4,1), we can plug these into the equation as x and y to solve for the y-intercept, b. You set it up as 1=-1/4(-4)+b. First you multiply to get 1=1+b, then you subtract 1 from both sides to isolate the variable and you get b=0. Then you can use b to complete your equation with y=-1/4x, or letter A.

Hey there!
There are a few ways you could solve this problem, but the easiest would to be writing an equation.
You could say-
2.3x=69
Divide by 2.3
x=30
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
30
Step-by-step explanation:
the answer is 30 bc increasing something by 130% is multiplying it by 2.3 so technically you have to divide 69 by 2.3 which equals to 30
Let S be a sample space and E and F be events associated with S. Suppose that Pr (Upper E )equals 0.6, Pr (Upper F )equals 0.2 and Pr (Upper E intersect Upper F )equals 0.1. Calculate the following probabilities. (a) Pr (E|F )(b) Pr (F|E )(c) Pr (E| Upper F prime )(d) Pr (Upper E prime | Upper F prime )
Answer:
(a)0.5
(b)0.17
(c)0.625
(b)0.375
Step-by-step explanation:
Pr(E)=0.6
Pr(F)=0.2
[tex]Pr(E\cap F)=0.1.[/tex]
(a)Pr (E|F )
[tex]Pr (E|F )=\dfrac{Pr(E \cap F)}{Pr(F)} \\=\dfrac{0.1}{0.2}\\\\=0.5[/tex]
(b)Pr (F|E )
[tex]Pr (F|E )=\dfrac{Pr(E \cap F)}{Pr(E)} \\=\dfrac{0.1}{0.6}\\\\=0.17[/tex]
(c)Pr (E|F')
Pr(F')=1-P(F)
=1-0.2=0.8
[tex]Pr(E \cap F')=P(E)-P(E\cap F)\\=0.6-0.1\\=0.5[/tex]
Therefore:
[tex]Pr (E|F' )=\dfrac{Pr(E \cap F')}{Pr(F')} \\=\dfrac{0.5}{0.8}\\\\=0.625[/tex]
(d)Pr(E'|F')
[tex]P(E'\cap F')=P(E \cup F)'\\=1-P(E \cup F)\\=1-[P(E)+P(F)-P(E\cap F)]\\=1-[0.6+0.2-0.1]\\=1-0.7\\=0.3[/tex]
Therefore:
[tex]Pr (E'|F' )=\dfrac{Pr(E' \cap F')}{Pr(F')} \\=\dfrac{0.3}{0.8}\\\\=0.375[/tex]

c. P(X >= a)= 0.85
d. P(X >a )= 0.89
e. P(1.83 <= x <=a)= 0.31
Answer:
(a) The value of a is 53.35.
(b) The value of a is 38.17.
(c) The value of a is 26.95.
(d) The value of a is 25.63.
(e) The value of a is 12.06.
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability density function of X is:
[tex]f_{X}(x)=\frac{1}{55-22}=\frac{1}{33}[/tex]
Here, 22 < X < 55.
(a)
Compute the value of a as follows:
[tex]P(X\leq a)=\int\limits^{a}_{22} {\frac{1}{33}} \, dx \\\\0.95=\frac{1}{33}\cdot \int\limits^{a}_{22} {1} \, dx \\\\0.95\times 33=[x]^{a}_{22}\\\\31.35=a-22\\\\a=31.35+22\\\\a=53.35[/tex]
Thus, the value of a is 53.35.
(b)
Compute the value of a as follows:
[tex]P(X< a)=\int\limits^{a}_{22} {\frac{1}{33}} \, dx \\\\0.95=\frac{1}{33}\cdot \int\limits^{a}_{22} {1} \, dx \\\\0.49\times 33=[x]^{a}_{22}\\\\16.17=a-22\\\\a=16.17+22\\\\a=38.17[/tex]
Thus, the value of a is 38.17.
(c)
Compute the value of a as follows:
[tex]P(X\geq a)=\int\limits^{55}_{a} {\frac{1}{33}} \, dx \\\\0.85=\frac{1}{33}\cdot \int\limits^{55}_{a} {1} \, dx \\\\0.85\times 33=[x]^{55}_{a}\\\\28.05=55-a\\\\a=55-28.05\\\\a=26.95[/tex]
Thus, the value of a is 26.95.
(d)
Compute the value of a as follows:
[tex]P(X\geq a)=\int\limits^{55}_{a} {\frac{1}{33}} \, dx \\\\0.89=\frac{1}{33}\cdot \int\limits^{55}_{a} {1} \, dx \\\\0.89\times 33=[x]^{55}_{a}\\\\29.37=55-a\\\\a=55-29.37\\\\a=25.63[/tex]
Thus, the value of a is 25.63.
(e)
Compute the value of a as follows:
[tex]P(1.83\leq X\leq a)=\int\limits^{a}_{1.83} {\frac{1}{33}} \, dx \\\\0.31=\frac{1}{33}\cdot \int\limits^{a}_{1.83} {1} \, dx \\\\0.31\times 33=[x]^{a}_{1.83}\\\\10.23=a-1.83\\\\a=10.23+1.83\\\\a=12.06[/tex]
Thus, the value of a is 12.06.

A contractor is setting up new accounts for the local cable company. She earns $75 for each customer account she sets up. Which expression models this situation, and how much will she profit if she sets up 8 customers? (The variable c represents the number of customers.) Question 4 options: A) c – 75; $9.78 B) 75c; $600 C) c + 75; $600 D) 75/c; $9.78
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
The contractor gets $75 for every single customer she sets up. Okay, so if she sets up 1 customer, she gets $75, if she sets up 2, she gets $150 and so on.
This is a multiplication expression since multiplication is just repeated addition, which is what is happening in this case, where the contractor gets $75 added to her account every time she sets another person up.
At this point you can just eliminate the other answer options except for B, so it is B.
But to double check... if you multiply 75 by 8, you would get $600, which is B.
Answer:
d

A student writes an incorrect step while checking if the sum of the measures of the two remote interior angles of triangle ABC below is equal to the measure of the exterior angle. A triangle ABC is shown. The base of the triangle extends into a straight line. The angle formed between this straight line and the edge of the triangle is marked as p. The angle adjacent to p is marked as o, and the other two angles inside the triangle are marked as m and n. Step 1: m∠m + m∠n + m∠p = 180 degrees (sum of angles of a triangle) Step 2: m∠p + m∠o = 180 degrees (adjacent supplementary angles) Step 3: Therefore, m∠m + m∠n + m∠o = m∠o + m∠p Step 4: So, m∠m + m∠n = m∠p In which step did the student first make a mistake and how can it be corrected? Step 1; it should be m∠m + m∠n + m∠o = 180 degrees (sum of angles in a triangle) Step 1; it should be m∠m + m∠n + m∠o = 90 degrees (adjacent angles) Step 2; it should be m∠o + m∠p = 180 degrees (alternate exterior angles) Step 2; m∠p − m∠o = 90 degrees (alternate interior angles)
Answer:
(A)Step 1; it should be m∠m + m∠n + m∠o = 180 degrees (sum of angles in a triangle)
Step-by-step explanation:
In the triangle, the exterior angle = pThe adjacent interior angle =oThe two opposite angles are marked m and nThe steps followed by the student are:
Step 1: m∠m + m∠n + m∠p = 180 degrees (sum of angles of a triangle)
Step 2: m∠p + m∠o = 180 degrees (adjacent supplementary angles)
Step 3: Therefore, m∠m + m∠n + m∠o = m∠o + m∠p
Step 4: So, m∠m + m∠n = m∠p
We observe that the student made a mistake in Step 1, it should be m∠m + m∠n + m∠o = 180 degrees (sum of angles in a triangle).
p is outside the triangle, therefore it cannot form one of the angles in the triangle.

Answer:
(7, 5.25) lies on the graph.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following values
x = 4, 6, 8, 12 and corresponding y values are:
y = 3, 4.5, 6, 9
Let us consider two points (4, 6) and (6, 4.5) and try to find out the equation of line.
Equation of a line passing through two points [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex] is given as:
[tex]y=mx+c[/tex]
where m is the slope.
(x,y) are the coordinates from where the line passes.
c is the y intercept.
Here,
[tex]x_{1} = 4\\x_{2} = 6\\y_{1} = 3\\y_{2} = 4.5[/tex]
Formula for slope is:
[tex]m = \dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]
[tex]m = \dfrac{4.5-3}{6-4}\\\Rightarrow m = \dfrac{1.5}{2}\\\Rightarrow m = \dfrac{3}{4}[/tex]
Now, the equation of line becomes:
[tex]y=\dfrac{3}{4}x+c[/tex]
Putting the point (4,3) in the above equation to find c:
[tex]3=\dfrac{3}{4}\times 4+c\\\Rightarrow 3=3+c\\\Rightarrow c =0[/tex]
So, final equation of given function is:
[tex]y=\dfrac{3}{4}x[/tex]
OR
[tex]4y=3x[/tex]
As per the given options, the point (7, 5.25) satisfies the equation.
So correct answer is [tex](7, 5.25)[/tex].

In a study of the accuracy of fast food drive-through orders, one restaurant had 40 orders that were not accurate among 307 orders observed. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the rate of inaccurate orders is greater than 10%. State the test result in terms of the claim. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses for this test The test statistic for this hypothesis test is? The P-value for this hypothesis test is? Identify the conclusion for this hypothesis test. State the test result in terms of the claim.
Answer:
We conclude that the rate of inaccurate orders is greater than 10%.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that in a study of the accuracy of fast food drive-through orders, one restaurant had 40 orders that were not accurate among 307 orders observed.
Let p = population proportion rate of inaccurate orders
So, Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : p [tex]\leq[/tex] 10% {means that the rate of inaccurate orders is less than or equal to 10%}
Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : p > 10% {means that the rate of inaccurate orders is greater than 10%}
The test statistics that will be used here is One-sample z-test for proportions;
T.S. = [tex]\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} } }[/tex] ~ N(0,1)
where, [tex]\hat p[/tex] = sample proportion of inaccurate orders = [tex]\frac{40}{307}[/tex] = 0.13
n = sample of orders = 307
So, the test statistics = [tex]\frac{0.13-0.10}{\sqrt{\frac{0.10(1-0.10)}{307} } }[/tex]
= 1.75
The value of z-test statistics is 1.75.
Also, the P-value of the test statistics is given by;
P-value = P(Z > 1.75) = 1 - P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] 1.75)
= 1 - 0.95994 = 0.04006
Now, at 0.05 level of significance, the z table gives a critical value of 1.645 for the right-tailed test.
Since the value of our test statistics is more than the critical value of z as 1.75 > 1.645, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region.
Therefore, we conclude that the rate of inaccurate orders is greater than 10%.
The first steps in writing f(x) = 4x2 + 48x + 10 in vertex form are shown. f(x) = 4(x2 + 12x) + 10 (twelve-halves) squared = 36 What is the function written in vertex form?
Answer:
[tex]f(x)=4(x+6)^2-134[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We are required to write the function[tex]f(x) = 4x^2 + 48x + 10[/tex] in vertex form.
First, bring the constant to the left-hand side.
[tex]f(x) -10= 4x^2 + 48x[/tex]
Factorize the right hand side.
[tex]f(x) -10= 4(x^2 + 12x)[/tex]
Take note of the factored term(4) and write it in the form below.
[tex]f(x) -10+4\Box= 4(x^2 + 12x+\Box)[/tex]
[tex]\Box = (\frac{\text{Coefficient of x}}{2} )^2\\\\\text{Coefficient of x}=12\\\\\Box = (\frac{12}{2} )^2 =6^2=36[/tex]
Substitute 36 for the boxes.
[tex]f(x) -10+4\boxed{36}= 4(x^2 + 12x+\boxed{36})[/tex]
[tex]f(x) -10+144= 4(x^2 + 12x+6^2)[/tex]
[tex]f(x) +134= 4(x+6)^2\\f(x)=4(x+6)^2-134[/tex]

Using the Cosine rule in Δ ABC
a² = b² + c² - 2bc cos A
Here b = 3, c = 4 and A = 32° , thus
a² = 3² + 4² - (2 × 3 × 4 × cos32° )
= 9 + 16 - 24cos32°

A person has a bag containing dimes and nickels. There are a total of 120 coins in the bag, and the total value of the coins is $9.25. Determine how many dimes and nickels are in the bag. There are _____dimes. There are _____ nickels.
Answer:
There are 65 dimes. There are 55 nickels.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question can be solved using a system of equations.
I am going to say that:
x is the number of dimes
y is the number of nickels.
There are a total of 120 coins in the bag
This means that x + y = 120.
The total value of the coins is $9.25.
The dime is worth $0.10 and the nickel is worth $0.05. So
0.1x + 0.05y = 9.25
System:
[tex]x + y = 120[/tex]
[tex]0.1x + 0.05y = 9.25[/tex]
From the first equation:
[tex]y = 120 - x[/tex]
Replacing in the second:
[tex]0.1x + 0.05y = 9.25[/tex]
[tex]0.1x + 0.05(120 - x) = 9.25[/tex]

There are 65 dimes. There are 55 nickels.
Assume that the year has 366 days and all birthdays are equally likely. Find the probability that two people chosen at random were born on the same day of the week.
Answer:
[tex]\dfrac{1}{7}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 7 days in a week.
For the first person, we select one day out of the 7 days. The first person has 7 options out of the 7 days.
Let Event A be the event that the first person was born on a day of the week.
Therefore:
[tex]P(A)=\dfrac{7}{7}=1[/tex]
The second person has to be born on the same day as the first person. Therefore, the second person has 1 out of 7 days to choose from.
Let Event B be the event that the second person was born.
Therefore, the probability that the second person was born on the same day as the first person:
[tex]P(B|A)=\dfrac{1}{7}[/tex]
By the definition of Conditional Probability
[tex]P(B|A)=\dfrac{P(B \cap A)}{P(A)} \\$Therefore:\\P(B \cap A)=P(B|A)P(A)[/tex]
The probability that both were born on the same day is:
[tex]P(B \cap A)=P(B|A)P(A) = \dfrac{1}{7} X 1 \\\\= \dfrac{1}{7}[/tex]
A survey of 61,647 people included several questions about office relationships. Of the respondents, 26% reported that bosses scream at employees. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that more than ¼ of people say that bosses scream at employees.
Step-by-step explanation:
n = 61,647, p = 0.26, q = 0.74
μ = p = 0.26
σ = √(pq/n) = 0.00177
At 0.05 significance, z = 1.96.
0.26 ± 1.96 × 0.00177
(0.257, 0.263)
0.25 is outside of the confidence interval, so we can conclude with 95% confidence that the proportion is greater than 0.25.
A rectangular playground is to be fenced off and divided in two by another fence parallel to one side of the playground. Three hundred feet of fencing is used
dimensions of the playground that maximize the total enclosed area. What is the maximum area?
The smaller dimension is
feet
Answer:
50 ft by 75 ft3750 square feetStep-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the length of the side not parallel to the partition. Then the length of the side parallel to the partition is ...
y = (300 -2x)/3
And the enclosed area is ...
A = xy = x(300 -2x)/3 = (2/3)(x)(150 -x)
This is the equation of a parabola with x-intercepts at x=0 and x=150. The line of symmetry, hence the vertex, is located halfway between these values, at x=75.
The maximum area is enclosed when the dimensions are ...
50 ft by 75 ft
That maximum area is 3750 square feet.

Comment on the solution
The generic solution to problems of this sort is that half the fence (cost) is used in each of the orthogonal directions. Here, half the fence is 150 ft, so the long side measures 150'/2 = 75', and the short side measures 150'/3 = 50'. This remains true regardless of the number of partitions, and regardless if part or all of one side is missing (e.g. bounded by a barn or river).
