Using linear function concepts, it is found that the change in the breaking weight of the pennies was of -6 units of weight.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.

b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

In this problem, the function is:

y = -6x + 136.

The slope is of m = -6, hence the change in the breaking weight of the pennies was of -6 units of weight.

IF 30 Men Car do a piece of Work in 30 days the

kiruha [24]

Answer:

let, the days for 10 men be x

30/10=x/30
900=10x
x=900/10
x=90

so 10 men can complete the same work in 90days.

Hope it helps.

Occasionally an airline will lose a bag. Suppose a small airline has found it can reasonably model the number of bags lost each

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

a) The probability that the airline will lose no bags next monday is 0.1108

b) The probability that the airline will lose 0,1, or 2 bags next Monday is 0.6227

c) I would recommend taking a Poisson model with mean 4.4 instead of a Poisson model with mean 2.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability mass function of X, for which we denote the amount of bags lost next monday is given by this formula

$P(X=k) = \frac{e^{-2.2} * {2.2}^k }{k!}$

$P(X=0) = \frac{e^{-2.2} * {2.2}^0 }{0!} = 0.1108$

The probability that the airline will lose no bags next monday is 0.1108.

b) Note that $P(X \in \{0,1,2\} = P(X=0) + P(X=1) + P(X=2)$ . And

$P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2) = e^{-2.2} * (1 + 2.2 + 2.2^2/2) = 0.6227$

Therefore, the probability that the airline will lose 0,1, or 2 bags next Monday is 0.6227.

c) If the double of flights are taken, then you at least should expect to loose a similar proportion in bags, because you will have more chances for a bag to be lost. WIth this in mind, we can correctly think that the average amount of bags that will be lost each day will double. Thus, i would double the mean of the Poisson model, in other words, i would take a Poisson model with mean 4.4, instead of 2.2.

4 divided by 2/9? If you could, please also explain.

shtirl [24]

You do 4/1 divided by 2/9

4 2
_ divided by _

1 9

Equals 18

(You have to multiply by the reciprocal)

4/1 times 1/4
And
2/9 times 1/4

Hope I helped!!!

Solve the system and enter the smallest x-coordinate first

ankoles [38]

Answer:
(2,-3)(6,5)
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use substitution to get the equation: x^2-6x+5 = 2x-7
Solve:
x^2-6x+5 = 2x-7
x^2 = 8x-12
x^2-8x+12 = 0 (we now have a polynomial)
(x-6)(x-2) = 0 (set each equation to equal 0 and solve)
x-6 = 0 --> x=6
x-2 = 0 --> x=2
To get the Y coordinates:
y=2(2)-7 --> y = -3
y = 2(6)-7 --> y = 5

Check work:
5 = 6^2-6(6)+5 --> 5 = 36-36 +5 --> 5=5
-3 = 2^2-6(2)+5 --> -3 = 4-12+5 --> -3=-3

valkas [14]

Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide both sides by -2.

x= - 8/2

Simplify - 8/2 to -4.
