What is the equation of a line?

The equation of line is given as,

y = mx + c

Where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

Let the data is

x₁= 6 ,   y₁ = 3.5  

x₂ = 8 , y₂ =  3

Calculate the change,

(Y₂ -Y₁ ) = (3)-(3.5)

ΔY = -0.5

(X₂-X₁) = (8)-(6)

ΔX = 2

 

Calculate the slope,

Slope = ΔY/ ΔX

Slope = -0.5 / 2

Slope = - 1/4 = -0.25

The equation formed by using the above data is,

Y =-0.25X +5    

Therefore, the percentage change is -25% the price of fuel is decreased by 25%.

Work Shown:

The notation f(4) means we want to find f(x) when x = 4.

If x = 4, then we go for the middle definition since 4 makes [tex]3 \le x \le 10[/tex] to be true (ie, 4 is between 3 and 10)

Therefore,

f(x) = x^2 - 7 when [tex]3 \le x \le 10[/tex]

f(4) = 4^2 - 7

f(4) = 16 - 7

f(4) = 9

Answer:

f(4) = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

4 is between 3 and 10 so we use the middle function

f(4) = x^2 -7

     = 4^2 -7

     = 16 -7

A united states presidential coin is made from an alloy of 4 metals-copper, zinc, manganese, and nickel- with weights in the ratio of 177:12:7:4 respectively. The coin weighs a total of 8 grams. What is the weight of the zinc in this coin?

Answers

Answer:

0.32 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

ratio of weight of -copper, zinc, manganese, and nickel = 177:12:7:4

let the

weight of copper = 177x

weight of zinc = 12x

weight of manganese = 7x

weight of nickel = 4x

Total weight of this alloy in terms of x =  177x + 12x+ 7x + 4x = 300x

given weight of alloy = 8 grams

thus,

weight of this alloy in terms of x =given weight of alloy

300x = 8 grams

x = 8/300 grams =

weight of zinc = 12x = 12 * 8/300 grams = 96/300 grams = 0.32 grams

Ratio: the ratio of men to women working for a company is 4 to 3. If there are 196 employees in total, how many are women?

Answers

Answer:

84 women

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Algebra, we can apply the ratio of men and women, 4 and 3, in a format that can be used in an equation.

4x = men and the unknown variable that will solve the amount of men

3x = women and the unknown variable that will solve the amount of women

Now, we will use the other provided piece which is the total amount of employees, and we will put together an equation!

4x + 3x = 196

We will use this equation to solve for X by the process of addition and division.

4x + 3x = 196

7x = 196

196 ÷ 7 = 28

x = 28

Now we will use this variable and apply it for x to find the number of women.

3 x 28 = 84 women!

Checking the answer:

4 x 28 = 112 men

84 + 112 = 196

Therefore, this answer checks out.

The probability that a company will launch the product A and B are 0.45 and 0.60 respectively, in main while, probability that both products launched, is 0.35. What is the probability that Neither will of these products launch? (04) At least one product will be launched ?

Answers

Answer:

1) 0.3 ; 0.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Probability that product A launch : P(A) = 0.45

Probability that product B launch : P(B) = 0.60

Probability that both product launch : P(AnB) = 0.35

P(A alone) = p(A) - p(AnB)

P(A alone) = 0.45 - 0.35 = 0.1

P(B alone) = p(B) - p(AnB)

P(B alone) = 0.60 - 0.35 = 0.25

Probability that neither product will launch :

1 - [p(A alone) + p(B alone) + p(AnB)]

1 - [0.1 + 0.25 + 0.35]

1 - 0.7 = 0.3

Probability that at least one product will launch :

P(A alone) + p(B alone) + p(AnB)

0.1 + 0.25 + 0.35 = 0.7

HELLP BRAINLIEST!!! Could someone clarify something for me?? What is the expression that represents the area of the rectangle? Do i solve this or do i just find the expression? Also could you help me solve the problem below?

Answers

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question doesn't ask you to find the area, it just ask for the expression that represents the area.

The area of rectangle is A=bh, where b and h are each of the side lengths.

Since we know the sides are (2x+7) and (5x+9), this means that the expression for the area of the rectangle is:

[tex](2x+7)(5x+9)[/tex]

To find the degree and classification, expand the factors:

[tex]=(2x+7)(5x+9)\\=(10x^2+18x+35x+63)\\=10x^2+53x+63[/tex]

Thus, this is a second degree quadratic expression

And from Part A, when we multiplied (2x+7)(5x+9), we got another polynomial (10x^2+52x+63). Thus, this rerepresents the closure property of polynomials, where multiplying a polynomial by another gets another polynomial.

.

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

(2x+7) ( 5x+9)

Foil

first 2x*5x = 10x^2

outer: 2x*9 = 18x

inner: 7*5x= 35x

last: 7*9 = 63

Add together

10x^2 +18x+35x+63

10x^2+53x+63

Part B

This is a second degree polynomial called a quadratic

Part C

When we multiply two polynomials together, we get another polynomial.  This is the closure property for multiplication of polynomials

Find the area. Round to the nearest tenth.
6 ft

12.16 ft
9.16 ft

Answers

Answer:

100.5 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the area of the rectangle

A = l*w

A = 12.16 * 6

A =72.96 ft^2

Then find the area of the triangle

A = 1/2 bh

The base is 12 ft - 6ft = 6ft

The height is 9.16 ft

A = 1/2 ( 9.16) * 6

A = 27.48 ft^2

Add them together

27.48+72.96

100.44 ft^2

Round to the nearest tenth

100.5 ft^2

Answer:

[tex]\huge \boxed{\mathrm{100.4 \ ft^2 }}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the shape, we can add the area of the rectangle with the area of the triangle.

Area of rectangle :

base × height

6 ft × 12.16 ft

72.96 ft²

Area of triangle :

base × height × 1/2

(12 ft - 6 ft) × 9.16 ft × 1/2

6ft × 9.16 ft × 1/2

27.48 ft²

Adding the areas.

72.96 ft² + 27.48 ft²

100.44 ft²

≈ 100.4 ft² (rounded to nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to get a common denominator in order to add them together.

First:

    Convert the whole numbers to fractions, 4 = 8/2

         4 1/2 = 9/2

     And 1 = 10/10

         1 8/10 = 18/10

Then find the common denominator:

The least common multiple of 2 and 10 is 10. So:

convert 9/2 to a denominator of 10 : 9*5 / 2*5 = 45/10

Subtract:

45/10 - 18/10 = 27/10

The way the quadratic equation was given, we can't have a factored form in the format: [tex](ax-b)(cx+d)[/tex]

First, divide both sides by 2

[tex]3x^2-4x-4=0[/tex]

Now, it is about thinking. From the equation, we will get something in the format:  [tex](ax-b)(cx+d)[/tex]

Let's expand this: [tex](ax-b)(cx+d) = acx^2+adx-bcx-bd[/tex]

From here, we can give some values for those variables, based on the quadratic equation [tex]3x^2-4x-4=0[/tex]:

[tex](3x-b)(x+d) = 3\cdot 1\cdot x^2+3dx-b\cdot 1 \cdot x-bd= \boxed{3x^2+3dx-bx-bd}[/tex]

Once we want the middle term to be -4 and bd to be 4, we can easily evaluate the other variables.

[tex](3x-2)(x+2) = 3\cdot 1\cdot x^2+3(2)x-(2)\cdot 1 \cdot x-(2)(2)= \boxed{3x^2+6x-4x-4}[/tex]

Therefore,

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

But we are not ready yet!

This is the factored form of [tex]3x^2-4x-4=0[/tex], to get the factored form of the problem equation, just multiply the factored form we got by 2.

Jaden’s teacher had 4 boxes of pens that each contained y pens. She took 6 pens out of one of the boxes and told her 17 students to divide the remaining pens equally among themselves. Which expression shows the number of pens each student got?

Answers

Answer:

x = (4y-6)/17

where x is the  number of pens each student got.

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of boxes = 4

no. of pen in 1 box = y

total no, of pens in 4 box =  No. of boxes *no. of pen in 1 box = 4y

No. of pen took away by Jaden's teacher = 6

no. of pens left = 4y - 6

This, 4y - 6 pen has to be divided among 17 students.

Let  each student get x pen

thus, total no. of pen got by 17 student  = 17x

This, 17x should be equal to total no. of pens available which is 4y-6

17x = 4y-6

=> x = (4y-6)/17

Thus, expression to represent  number of pens each student got

is x = (4y-6)/17

Answer:

4y-6/17

Step-by-step explanation:

Jaden’s teacher had 4 boxes of pens that each contained y pens.

Number of boxes of pen = 4

Number of pens per box = y

Total number of pens = 4 x y = 4y

She took 6 pens out of one of the boxes told her 17 students to divide the remaining pens equally among themselves.

Total number of pens left = 4y - 6

Number of students = 17

Cody is a lifeguard and spots a drowning child 40 meters along the shore and 70 meters from the shore to the child. Cody runs along the shore for a while and then jumps into the water and swims from there directly to the child. Cody can run at a rate of 4 meters per second and swim at a rate of 1.1 meters per second. How far along the shore should Cody run before jumping into the water in order to save the child? Round your answer to three decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

Cody should run approximately 19.978 meters along the shore before jumping into the water in order to save the child.Thus,

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the diagram below.

In this case we need to minimize the time it takes Cody to save the child.

Total time to save the child (T) = Time taken along the shore (A) + Time taken from the shore (B)

The formula to compute time is:

[tex]time=\frac{distance}{speed}[/tex]

Compute the time taken along the shore as follows:

[tex]A=\frac{x}{4}[/tex]

Compute the time taken from the shore as follows:

[tex]B=\frac{\sqrt{70^{2}+(40-x)^{2}}}{1.1}[/tex]

Then the total time taken to save the child is:

[tex]T=\frac{x}{4}+\frac{\sqrt{70^{2}+(40-x)^{2}}}{1.1}[/tex]

Differentiate T with respect to x as follows:

[tex]\frac{dT}{dx}=\frac{d}{dx}[\frac{x}{4}]+\frac{d}{dx}[\frac{\sqrt{70^{2}+(40-x)^{2}}}{1.1}][/tex]

    [tex]=\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{1.1}\cdot \frac{(40-x)}{\sqrt{70^{2}+(40-x)^{2}}}[/tex]

Equate the derivative to 0 to compute the value of x as follows:

                              [tex]\frac{dT}{dx}=0[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{1.1}\cdot \frac{(40-x)}{\sqrt{70^{2}+(40-x)^{2}}}=0\\\\\frac{1}{1.1}\cdot \frac{(40-x)}{\sqrt{70^{2}+(40-x)^{2}}}=\frac{1}{4}\\\\4\cdot (40-x)=1.1\cdot [\sqrt{70^{2}+(40-x)^{2}}]\\\\\{4\cdot (40-x)\}^{2}=\{1.1\cdot [\sqrt{70^{2}+(40-x)^{2}}]\}^{2}\\\\16\cdot (40-x)^{2}=1.21\cdot [70^{2}+(40-x)^{2}}]\\\\16\cdot (40-x)^{2}-1.21\cdot (40-x)^{2}=5929\\\\14.79\cdot (40-x)^{2}=5929\\\\(40-x)^{2}=400.88\\\\40-x\approx 20.022\\\\x\approx 40-20.022\\\\x\approx 19.978[/tex]

Thus, Cody should run approximately 19.978 meters along the shore before jumping into the water in order to save the child.
