What is the rate of change in y with respect to x in the function x + 5y = 10?

Mathematics
1 answer:
rosijanka [135]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

-1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

let's put the function in slope intercept form (y = mx + b).

x + 5y = 10

y = - (1/5)x + 2

when the function is in slope intercept form, (m) is the rate of change or the slope.

therefore, the rate of change -1/5

The diameter of a particle of contamination (in micrometers) is modeled with the probability density function f(x)= 2/x^3 for x
natulia [17]

Answer:

a) 0.96

b) 0.016

c) 0.018

d) 0.982

e) x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given with the Probability density function f(x)= 2/x^3 where x > 1.

<em>Firstly we will calculate the general probability that of P(a < X < b) </em>

       P(a < X < b) =  \int_{a}^{b} \frac{2}{x^{3}} dx = 2\int_{a}^{b} x^{-3} dx

                            = 2[ \frac{x^{-3+1} }{-3+1}]^{b}_a   dx    { Because \int_{a}^{b} x^{n} dx = [ \frac{x^{n+1} }{n+1}]^{b}_a }

                            = 2[ \frac{x^{-2} }{-2}]^{b}_a = \frac{2}{-2} [ x^{-2} ]^{b}_a

                            = -1 [ b^{-2} - a^{-2}  ] = \frac{1}{a^{2} } - \frac{1}{b^{2} }

a) Now P(X < 5) = P(1 < X < 5)  {because x > 1 }

     Comparing with general probability we get,

     P(1 < X < 5) = \frac{1}{1^{2} } - \frac{1}{5^{2} } = 1 - \frac{1}{25} = 0.96 .

b) P(X > 8) = P(8 < X < ∞) = 1/8^{2} - 1/∞ = 1/64 - 0 = 0.016

c) P(6 < X < 10) = \frac{1}{6^{2} } - \frac{1}{10^{2} } = \frac{1}{36} - \frac{1}{100 } = 0.018 .

d) P(x < 6 or X > 10) = P(1 < X < 6) + P(10 < X < ∞)

                                = (\frac{1}{1^{2} } - \frac{1}{6^{2} }) + (1/10^{2} - 1/∞) = 1 - 1/36 + 1/100 + 0 = 0.982

e) We have to find x such that P(X < x) = 0.75 ;

               ⇒  P(1 < X < x) = 0.75

               ⇒  \frac{1}{1^{2} } - \frac{1}{x^{2} } = 0.75

               ⇒  \frac{1} {x^{2} } = 1 - 0.75 = 0.25

               ⇒  x^{2} = \frac{1}{0.25}   ⇒ x^{2} = 4 ⇒ x = 2  

Therefore, value of x such that P(X < x) = 0.75 is 2.

Three hens can lay 3 eggs in 3 days.In how many days can 7 hens lay 7 eggs?
Anna71 [15]

Answer: 3 days


Step-by-step explanation: It would take 3 days for seven hens to 7 lay eggs because each hen lays an egg each day.

1 hen/1 egg = 3 days

7 hens/7 days = 14 eggs

7 hens/3 days = 7 eggs

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer: 56 large cars and 86 small cars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call:

l: the number of large cars.

s: the number of small cars.

Then, you can set up the following system of equations:

\left \{ {{l+s=142} \atop {5.50l+4.0s=652.50}} \right.

You can use the Elimination Method:

- Multiply the first equation by -4.0

- Add both equations.

- Solve for l.

\left \{ {{-4.0l-4.0s=-568} \atop {5.50l+4.0s=652.50}} \right.\\--------\\1.5l=84.5

l≈56

Substitute l=56 into one of the original equations and solve for <em>s:</em>

<em> </em>56+s=142\\s=142-56\\s=86

The average weight of the entire batch of the boxes of cereal filled today was 20.5 ounces. A random sample of four boxes was se
zhenek [66]

Answer:

s= \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}

And replacing we got:

s= 0.286

And then the estimator for the standard error is given by:

SE= \frac{0.286}{\sqrt{4}}= 0.143

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following dataset given:

20.05, 20.56, 20.72, and 20.43

We can assume that the distribution for the sample mean is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

And the standard error for this case would be:

SE= \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

And we can estimate the deviation with the sample deviation:

s= \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}

And replacing we got:

s= 0.286

And then the estimator for the standard error is given by:

SE= \frac{0.286}{\sqrt{4}}= 0.143
