Given f(x)=x^3-2, find the equation of the secant line passing through (-4,f(-4)) and (2,f(2))

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

The function is

[tex]f(x)=x^3-2[/tex]

The secant line passing through (-4,f(-4)) and (2,f(2)).

To find:

The equation of the secant line.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]f(x)=x^3-2[/tex]

At x=-4,

[tex]f(-4)=(-4)^3-2[/tex]

[tex]f(-4)=-64-2[/tex]

[tex]f(-4)=-66[/tex]

At x=2,

[tex]f(2)=(2)^3-2[/tex]

[tex]f(2)=8-2[/tex]

[tex]f(2)=6[/tex]

The secant line passes through the points (-4,-66) and (2,6). So, the equation of the secant line is

[tex]y-y_1=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)[/tex]

[tex]y-(-66)=\dfrac{6-(-66)}{2-(-4)}(x-(-4))[/tex]

[tex]y+66=\dfrac{6+66}{2+4}(x+4)[/tex]

[tex]y+66=\dfrac{72}{6}(x+4)[/tex]

On further simplification, we get

[tex]y+66=12(x+4)[/tex]

[tex]y+66=12x+48[/tex]

[tex]y=12x+48-66[/tex]

[tex]y=12x-18[/tex]

Therefor, the equation of the secant line is [tex]y=12x-18[/tex].

Among fatal plane crashes that occurred during the past 55 years, 347 were due to pilot error, 83 were due to other human error, 596 were due to weather, 374 were due mechanical problems, and 114 were due to sabotage. Construct the relative frequency distribution.

Required:
What is the most serious threat to aviation safety, and can anything be done about it?

Answers

Answer:

Pilot error = 347 / 1487 = 0.233 = 23.3%

Other human error = 83 / 1514 = 0.055 = 5.6%

Weather = 596 / 1487 = 0.401 = 40.1%

Mechanical problem = 374 / 1487 = 0.233 = 23.3%

Sabotage = 114 / 1487 = 0.077 = 7.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data :

Pilot error = 347

Other human error = 83

Weather = 596

Mechanical problem = 374

Sabotage = 114

Cummlative sum = (347 + 83 + 596 + 374 + 114) = 1487

Relative frequency :

Pilot error = 347 / 1487 = 0.233 = 23.3%

Other human error = 83 / 1514 = 0.055 = 5.6%

Weather = 596 / 1487 = 0.401 = 40.1%

Mechanical problem = 374 / 1487 = 0.233 = 23.3%

Sabotage = 114 / 1487 = 0.077 = 7.7%

Based on the relative frequency estimate, Weather is the most serious threat to aviation safety.

1. Rita has 3 ¾ cups of potato chips to share with 6 friends. How many cups does EACH friend get

Answers

Answer:

Each friend will get 5/8 (excluding Rita)

Each person will get 15/28 (including Rita)

Step-by-step explanation:

You must simply divide 3 3/4 ÷ 6 (excluding Rita)

You must simply divide 3 3/4 ÷ 7 (including Rita)

5/8 cups

You divide 3 3/4 by 6 so

3.75/6 = 0.625

Then make that back into a fraction
0.625= 5/8

There’s a different way where you keep it a fraction but it takes longer so here you go I hope it helps some.

Find the volume of the cylinder and cone, then add them together.

Answers

Solution :

Volume of cylinder :-

V = πr²h

Here,

r is radius h is height

We have :

r = 2cm h = 7cm

Substituting the values :

> V = π (2 × 2) × 7

> V = 4π × 7

> V = 28π

Volume of cone :-

V = ⅓ π²h

We have :

r = 2cm h = 6 cm

Substituting the values :

> V = ⅓ × π × (2 × 2) × 6

> V = ⅓ × π × 4 × 6

> V = ⅓ × π × 24

> V = 8π

According to the question :-

Adding them together,

> Total Volume = 8π + 28π

> Total Volume = 36π

[tex]Total \: \: \: Volume = (88+176) {cm}^{2} \\ \\ = 264 {cm}^{2} .[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

9.5

Step-by-step explanation:

When rounding to the nearest tenth, check to see what the hundredths place value is.

If it is 0.05 or greater, we will round the tenths place up one.

If not, the tenths place will remain the same.

Since 9.52 has a hundredths place value of 0.02, we will keep the same tenths place value.

So, the correct answer is 9.5

Answer:

900 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating the sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon is : ( n - 2) × 180°. when n is number of sides.

Sum of angles = ( n-2) × 180

Sum of angles = (7-2) × 180

Sum of angles = 5 × 180

Sum of angles = 900 degrees
