Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form:
[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]
m = slopeb = y-interceptPerpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals.
Example: 2 and -1/2Example: 3/4 and -4/3SolutionWe're given:
Perpendicular to [tex]4x-5y=-10[/tex]Passes through (6,3)1) Determine the slope
Let's first rearrange this equation into slope-intercept form:
[tex]4x-5y=-10\\-5y=-4x-10\\\\y=\dfrac{4}{5}x+2[/tex]
Notice how [tex]\dfrac{4}{5}[/tex] is in the place of m in y = mx + b. This is the slope of the give line.
Since perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals, we know the slope of the other line is [tex]-\dfrac{5}{4}[/tex]. Plug this into y = mx + b:
[tex]y=-\dfrac{5}{4}x+b[/tex]
2) Determine the y-intercept
We're also given that the line passes through (6,3). Plug this point into our equation and solve for b:
[tex]y=-\dfrac{5}{4}x+b\\\\3=-\dfrac{5}{4}(6)+b\\\\b=3+\dfrac{5}{4}(6)\\\\b=\dfrac{21}{2}[/tex]
Plug this back into our original equation:
[tex]y=-\dfrac{5}{4}x+\dfrac{21}{2}[/tex]

What’s the correct answer for this question?
Answer:
what's the question?
it's not showing
Answer:
C.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the perimeter, we'll use the distance formula
Distance Formula = √(x₂-x₁)²+(y₂-y₁)²
Finding Distance of AB
|AB| = √(-2+5)²+(3+1)²
|AB| = √25
|AB| = 5
Now For BC
|BC| = √(6+2)²+(-3-3)²
|BC| = √(8)²+(-6)²
|BC| = √100
|BC| = 10
FOR CA:
|CA| = √(-5-6)²+(-3+1)²
|CA| = √125
Perimeter of Triangle = 10 + 5 + √125
= 15 + √125

yes, they are parallel; the general form equation differs only in the constant.
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract y from the first equation and multiply by 2.
y -y = 1/2x -y +3
0 = x -2y +6
x -2y +6 = 0 . . . . . put in general form
Compared to the second equation, we see the only difference is in the constant, +6 vs. -8.

the population of a country increased by 3%, 2.6%, and 1.8% in three successive years. what was the total percentage increase in the country's population over the three year period?
please tell me how u did it
Answer:
The total percentage increase in the country's population over the three year period is 7.6%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the original population of a country.
It is provided that the population increased by 3%, 2.6%, and 1.8% in three successive years.
Compute the population of the country after three years as follows:
[tex]\text{New Population}=\text{Origibal Population}\times I_{1}\%\times I_{2}\%\times I_{3}\%[/tex]
[tex]=x\times [1+\frac{3}{100}]\times [1+\frac{2.6}{100}]\times [1+\frac{1.8}{100}]\\\\=x\times 1.03\times 1.026\times 1.018\\\\=1.07580204\cdot x\\\\\approx 1.076\cdot x[/tex]
The new population after three years is 1.076 x.
Compute the total percentage increase in the country's population over the three year period as follows:
[tex]\text{Total Increase}\%=\frac{\text{New Population}\ -\ \text{Original Population}}{\text{Original Population}}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{1.076x-x}{x}\times 100\\\\=0.076\times 100\\\\=7.6\%[/tex]
Thus, the total percentage increase in the country's population over the three year period is 7.6%.
A cylindrical tank has a radius of 2 m and a height of 9 m. The tank is filled with water. Find the work needed to pump the top 3 m of water out the top of the tank. (Use 9.8 m/s2 for g and the fact that the density of water is 1000 kg/m3.)
Answer:
3,325,140 Joules
Step-by-step explanation:
Work done by the pump = Force applied to pump * distance covered by the water.
Since Force = mass * acceleration due to gravity
Force = (density of water * volume of the tank) * acceleration due to gravity
F =ρVg
Workdone = (ρVg )* d
Given ρ = 1000kg/m³, g = 9.8m/s², d = 3m
[tex]V = \pi r^{2}h\\V = \pi (2)^{2} *9\\V = 36 \pi \\V =113.10m^{3}[/tex]
Workdone by the pump = 1000 * 113.10 * 9.8 * 3
Workdone by the pump = 3,325,140Joules
a student in greece discovers a pottery bowl that contains 29% of its original amount of C-14
Answer:
The age of the pottery bowl is 12,378.7 years
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount of C-14 after t yeas is given by the following equation:
[tex]N(t) = N(0)e^{-kt}[/tex]
In which N(0) is the initial amount and k is the decay rate.
In this question, we have that:
[tex]k = 0.0001[/tex]
So
[tex]N(t) = N(0)e^{-0.0001t}[/tex]
Age of the pottery bowl:
29% of its original amount of C-14. So we have to find t for which N(t) = 0.29N(0). So
[tex]N(t) = N(0)e^{-0.0001t}[/tex]
[tex]0.29N(0) = N(0)e^{-0.0001t}[/tex]
[tex]e^{-0.0001t} = 0.29[/tex]
[tex]\ln{e^{-0.0001t}} = \ln{0.29}[/tex]
[tex]-0.0001t = \ln{0.29}[/tex]
[tex]t = -\frac{\ln{0.29}}{0.0001}[/tex]
[tex]t = 12378.7[/tex]
The age of the pottery bowl is 12,378.7 years

Answer:
[tex]\boxed{\sf \ \ \ f(x)=(x+3)(5x-4)(3x-4) \ \ \ }[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to factorise the following function
[tex]f(x)=15 x^3+13 x^2-80 x+48[/tex]
-3 is a trivial solution, we can notice that f(-3)=0
so we can factorise by (x+3)
let s note a, b and c real and let s write
[tex]f(x)=15 x^3+13 x^2-80 x+48=(x+3)(ax^2+bx+c)[/tex]
[tex](x+3)(ax^2+bx+c) = ax^3+bx^2+cx+3ax^2+3bx+3c=ax^3+(b+3a)x^2+(3b+c)x+3c[/tex]
let s identify...
the terms in [tex]x^3[/tex]
15 = a
the terms in [tex]x^2[/tex]
13 = b + 3a
the terms in x
-80 = 3b+c
the constant terms
48 = 3c
so it comes, c=48/3=16, a = 15, b = 13-3*15=13-45=-32
so [tex]f(x)=(x+3)(15x^2-32x+16)[/tex]

Two negative integers are 8 units apart on the number line and have a product of 308. Which equation could be used to determine x, the smaller negative integer? A: x^2 + 8x – 308 = 0 B: x^2 – 8x + 308 = 0 C: x^2 + 8x + 308 = 0 D: x^2 − 8x − 308 = 0
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
The smaller negative integer is x.
The larger one is x+8, since they are 8 units apart.
The equation would be:
x*(x+8)=308
Let's simplify it by distributing.
x^2+8x=308
Subtract 308 from both sides.
x^2+8x-308=0
Therefore, the answer would be A.
Lisa has collected data to find that the number of pages per book on a book shelf has a normal distribution. What is the probability that a randomly selected book has fewer than 133 pages if the mean is 185 pages and the standard deviation is 26 pages? Use the empirical rule.Enter your answer as a percent rounded to two decimal places if necessary.
Answer:
2.5% probability that a randomly selected book has fewer than 133 pages if the mean is 185 pages and the standard deviation is 26 pages
Step-by-step explanation:
The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:
68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.
95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.
99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.
In this problem, we have that:
Mean = 185
Standard deviation = 26
The normal distribution is symmetric, which means that 50% of the measures are above the mean and 50% are below.
What is the probability that a randomly selected book has fewer than 133 pages if the mean is 185 pages and the standard deviation is 26 pages?
133 = 185 - 2*26
So 133 is two standard deviations below the mean.
By the Empirical Rule, of the 50% of the measures below the mean, 95% are within 2 standard deviations of the mean, that is, above 133 and below 185. The other 5% is below 133
p = 0.05*0.5 = 0.025
2.5% probability that a randomly selected book has fewer than 133 pages if the mean is 185 pages and the standard deviation is 26 pages

A cognitive psychologist would like to evaluate the claim that the omega-3 fatty acids can help improve memory in normal adult humans. One group of participants is given a large dose of fish extract containing the Omega-3 (500 mg), and a second group is given a placebo containing no Omega-3 (0 mg). The researcher asks each participant to read the front page of a local newspaper thoroughly every morning and to take their prescribed dosage (of either Omega-3 or placebo) immediately afterwards. The researcher gives each participant a memory test at the end of two weeks and records how many news items each participant remembers from the past three weeks of news. Answer the following:
A) What names would you give the independent and dependent variables;
B) Is the dependent variable discrete or continuous?
C) What scale of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval or ratio; and continuous or discrete) is used to measure the independent variable?
D) What research method is being used (experimental or observational)? Explain why you conclude that the research method is one or the other.
Answer:
(a)
Independent Variable- Dosage of Omega-3 Fatty AcidsDependent Variable - Number of news item remembered(b)Discrete
(c)Ratio Scale and Discrete Variable
(d) Experimental Method
Step-by-step explanation:
The psychologist wants to evaluate the claim that omega-3 fatty acids can help improve memory in normal adult humans.
(a)In the study, the participants in the two groups were given fish extracts containing Omega-3 (500 mg) and no Omega-3 (0 mg).
The memory test involves measuring the number of items each participant remembers from the past three weeks of news.
Therefore:
Independent Variable- Dosage of Omega-3Dependent Variable - Number of news item remembered(b) The dependent variable is discrete since the number of news items remembered can only be whole numbers.
(c)The independent variable is in milligrams of Omega-3 where the placebo is 0 mg. This is a ratio scale since it has an absolute zero.
Since the dosage is given in multiples of 50mg, it is a discrete variable.
(d)Since the psychologist seeks to manipulate the conditions of the study by introducing Omega-3 to some of the participants and placebo to other participants, it is an experimental distribution.

According to the question, it was clearly stated that the 437 county residents are a random sample of the residents in the county, hence, it is evident that option C is the right statement.
a) For hypothesis testing, the first thing to define is the null and alternative hypothesis.
The null hypothesis plays the devil's advocate and usually takes the form of the opposite of the theory to be tested. It usually contains the signs =, ≤ and ≥ depending on the directions of the test.
While, the alternative hypothesis usually confirms the the theory being tested by the experimental setup. It usually contains the signs ≠, < and > depending on the directions of the test.
For this question, the county supervisor wants to check if proportion of the county that are Hispanics is different from the proportion of the whole nation that are Hispanics. (0.16).
Hence, the null hypothesis is that there isn't enough evidence to conclude that the proportion of the county that are Hispanics is different from the proportion of the whole nation that are Hispanics. That is, there is no significant difference between the proportion of the county that are Hispanics and the proportion of the whole nation that are Hispanics. (0.16).
The alternative hypothesis will now be that enough evidence to conclude that the proportion of the county that are Hispanics is different from the proportion of the whole nation that are Hispanics (0.16).
Mathematically,
The null hypothesis is represented as
H₀: p = 0.16
The alternative hypothesis is represented as
Hₐ: p ≠ 0.16
b) To do this test, we will use the z-distribution because although, no information on the population standard deviation is known, the sample size is large enough.
Hence, the model of this test is two-tailled, one-proportion test.
And the major conditions for an hypothesis test is that
- The sample must be a random sample extracted from the population, with each variable in the sample independent from one another. This is already clearly given in the question.
- The sample must be a normal distribution sample or approximate a normal distribution.
The conditions to check this is that
np ≥ 10
and
np(1-p) ≥ 10
p = sample proportion = (44/437) = 0.101
np = 437×0.101 = 44 ≥ 10
np(1-p) = 437×0.101×(1-0.101) = 39.7 ≥ 10
The two conditions are satisfied, hence, we can conclude that this distribution at least approximates a normal distribution.
c) So, we compute the t-test statistic
z = (x - μ)/σₓ
x = sample proportion = 0.101
μ = p₀ = The proportion we are comparing against = 0.16
σₓ = standard error = √[p(1-p)/n]
where n = Sample size = 437
σₓ = √[0.101×0.899/437] = 0.0144145066 = 0.0144
z = (0.101 - 0.16) ÷ 0.0144
z = -4.093 = -4.09
checking the tables for the p-value of this z-statistic
Degree of freedom = df = n - 1 = 437 - 1 = 436
Significance level = 0.05 (when the significance level isn't stated, 0.05 is used)
The hypothesis test uses a two-tailed condition because we're testing in both directions (greater than or less than).
p-value (for z = -4.09, at 0.05 significance level, df = 436, with a two tailed condition) = 0.000043
The sketch of the region of acceptance is presented in the attached image to this answer. (z < -4.09 and z > 4.09).
d) The interpretation of p-values is that
When the (p-value > significance level), we fail to reject the null hypothesis and when the (p-value < significance level), we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis.
So, for this question, significance level = 0.05
p-value = 0.000043
0.000043 < 0.05
Hence,
p-value < significance level
This means that we reject the null hypothesis, accept the alternative hypothesis & say that there is enough evidence to conclude that the proportion of the county that are Hispanics is different from the proportion of the whole nation that are Hispanics.

you secure a mortgage to buy a house with a loan of $140,000 at 8.5% for 20 years. answer the following questions about that loan for the first two months of payments: a) what is the monthly payment? b)how much of the monthly payment goes toward interest when you submit your first payment? c)what is your balance after the first payment? d) how much of the monthly payment goes toward interest when you submit your second payment? e) what is your balance after the second payment?
Answer:
monthly payment $1214.951st month's interest $991.67balance after 1st payment $139,776.722nd month's interest $990.09balance after 2nd payment $139,551.86Step-by-step explanation:
The monthly interest rate is ...
[tex]\dfrac{8\%}{12}=0.00708\overline{3}[/tex]
a) The monthly payment is given by the amortization formula:
A = Pr/(1 -(1+r)^-n)
where r is the monthly interest rate on a loan of amount P for n months.
A = $140,000(0.0070833)/(1 -(1.0070833^-240)) = $1214.95
The monthly payment is $1214.95.
__
b) The amount to interest is the product of the remaining principal and the monthly interest rate.
first month's interest = $140,000·0.0070833 = $991.67
__
c) The balance after the first payment is ...
new balance = $140,000 +991.67 -1214.95 = $139,776.72
__
d) The amount to interest for the second payment is computed the same way:
second month's interest = $139,776.72·0.00708333 = $990.09
__
e) The balance after the second payment is computed the same way:
new balance = $139,776.72 +990.09 -1214.95 = $139,551.86

Corrected Question
A cylinder with a base diameter of x units has a volume of [tex]\pi x^3[/tex] cubic units
Which statements about the cylinder are true? Check all that apply.
The radius of the cylinder is x units. The radius of the cylinder is 2x units. The area of the cylinder’s base is [tex]\dfrac{1}{4}\pi x^2[/tex] square units. The area of the cylinder’s base is [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}\pi x^2[/tex] square units. The height of the cylinder is 2x units. The height of the cylinder is 4x units.Answer:
The area of the cylinder’s base is [tex]\dfrac{1}{4}\pi x^2[/tex] square units. The height of the cylinder is 4x units.Step-by-step explanation:
If the Base Diameter = x
Therefore: Base radius [tex]=\dfrac{x}{2}$ units[/tex]
Area of the base [tex]=\pi r^2 =\pi (\dfrac{x}{2})^2 =\dfrac{\pi x^2}{4}$ square units[/tex]
Volume =Base Area X Height
[tex]\pi x^3 =\dfrac{\pi x^2}{4} X h\\$Height, h = \pi x^3 \div \dfrac{\pi x^2}{4}\\=\pi x^3 \times \dfrac{4}{\pi x^2}\\h=4x$ units[/tex]
Therefore:
The area of the cylinder’s base is [tex]\dfrac{1}{4}\pi x^2[/tex] square units. The height of the cylinder is 4x units.
Suppose that it costs $200 per day to search for chanterelle mushrooms at Pt. Reyes National Seashore. On an average day, the total weight of mushrooms M found at Pt. Reyes is M = 100x-x^2 pounds ,where x is the number of people mushroom hunting on that day. Chanterelles can be sold for $60 per pound. How many more people will go mushroom hunting than is socially optimal?
Answer:
For an overall profit, we need at least 97 people to go mushroom hunting.
Any number of people that is more than the socially optimal number should go mushroom hunting on any given day.
Step-by-step explanation:
The socially optimal number of people that will go mushroom hunting is the number where amount spent to go mushroom hunting equally balances the amount obtained by selling the mushrooms obtained.
If x people go mushroom hunting in a day, the total cost of hunting for that day = 200x
The amount of mushroom obtained is given as
M = (100x - x²) in pounds
The selling price of 1 pound = $60
The cost of M pounds = 60M = 60(100x - x²)
= (6000x - 60x²)
At socially optimal number,
200x = 6000x - 60x²
60x² - 6000x + 200x = 0
60x² - 5800x = 0
x(60x - 5800)
x = 0 or (60x - 5800) = 0
x = 0 or x = (5800/60) = 96.67
Socially optimal number of people = 0 or 96.67
For realistic purposes, we take the socially optimal number of people that went mushroom hunting as 96.67
Any number above this number will result in an overall profit, and any number below it results in an overall loss.
So, for an overall profit, we need at least 97 people to go mushroom hunting.
Hope this Helps!!
Answer:
48 people
Step-by-step explanation:
When allocating resources to a particular task it is important to assign optimal units of resources.
In this scenario if the people hunting mushrooms are too many they will not make profit. But an optimal number will guarantee everyone makes positive profit.
Optimal = (M÷x)Px - 200= 0
Optimal= {(100x -x^2) ÷ x} * 60 = 200
Optimal = 6000 - 60x = 200
x= 96.666~ 97 people
However to maximise profit MTB = MTC
Socially Optimal quantity = 60(100x - x^2) -200
∂(Socially Optimal amount) ÷ ∂ x= 6000 - 120x - 200
x = 48.33~ 48 people
So 48 more people go mushroom hunting than is socially optimal
