Answer:

y=-1/4x+9/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Get slope of the line first (to find slope that is perpendicular, get the negative reciprocal)

4 turns into -1/4

To get the y-intercept, plug in the given coordinate values into this formula:

y=mx+b

3=-3(-1/4)+b

3-3/4=b

b=9/4

b is our y-intercept

9/4 is our y-intercept

keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, let's check for the slope of the equation above

y = 4 + x\implies y = \stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{1}x+4\qquad \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll}\cline{1-1}slope-intercept~form\\\cline{1-1}\\y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}}\\\\\cline{1-1}\end{array}

so therefore

\stackrel{~\hspace{5em}\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}~\hspace{5em}} {\stackrel{slope}{1\implies\cfrac{1}{1}} ~\hfill \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{1}{1}} ~\hfill \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{-\cfrac{1}{1}\implies -1}}

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is -1 and passes through (-3 , 3)

(\stackrel{x_1}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{3})\qquad \qquad \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies -1 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{3}=\stackrel{m}{-1}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-3)}) \\\\\\ y-3=-(x+3)\implies y-3 = -x-3\implies y = -x

When purchasing bulk orders of batteries, a toy manufacturer uses this acceptance sampling plan: Randomly select and test 55 bat
aleksley [76]

The probability of accepting this shipment is 98%.

What is probability?

The area of mathematics known as probability deals with numerical representations of the likelihood that an event will occur or that a statement is true. An event's probability is between 0 and 1, where, roughly speaking, 0 denotes the event's impossibility and 1 denotes certainty.

Here, we have

Almost all such shipments will be accepted because the probability of having a sample with more than 3 defective batteries is very low.

The shipment will be accepted if at most 3 batteries don't meet specifications.

This can be modeled as a binomial distribution, where the sample size is n=55 and the probability of not meeting the specifications of any battery is p=0.02.

The shipment will be accepted if D ≤ 3.

The probability of this event is:

P( D ≤ 3) = P(D=0) + P(D=1) + P(D=2) + P(D=3)

P(D=X) = n!/(x!(n-x)!) pˣ(1-p)ⁿ⁻ˣ

P(D=0) = 55!/(0!(55-0)!) 0.02⁰(1-0.02)⁵⁵⁻⁰ = 1× 1 × 0.32 = 0.32

P(D=1) = 55!/(1!(55-1)!) 0.02¹(1-0.02)⁵⁴ = 54 × 0.02 × 0.33= 0.35

P(D=2) = 55!/(2!(55-2)!) 0.02²(1-0.02)⁵³ = 55 ×27 × 0.0004 × 0.34= 0.20

P(D=3) = 55!/(3!(55-3)!) 0.02³(1-0.02)⁵² = 25740× 0.0000008 × 0.35= 0.07

Then,

P( D ≤ 3) = P(D=0) + P(D=1) + P(D=2) + P(D=3)

P( D ≤ 3) = 0.32 + 0.35 + 0.20 + 0.07

P( D ≤ 3) = 0.98

Hence, the probability of accepting this shipment is 98%.

Solve for x with steps.
kiruha [24]

Answer:

no real solution is the answer

If you have to list your extraneous solutions somewhere, that would be x=0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cool thing here is the radical, the thing with the square root, is already isolate.

So we need to square both sides as a first step.  (Whenever you raise both sides to even power, you must definitely check your solutions as some might not actually be solutions to the original equation)

So upon squaring both sides I get:

x^4+16=(x^2-4)^2

Now I will write (x^2-4)^2 as (x^2-4)(x^2-4) and foil it!  This gives me:

x^4+16=x^4-8x^2+16

Subtract x^4 and 16 on both sides:

       0=-8x^2

Divide both sides by -8

      0=x^2

Therefore x=0.

0 isn't actually a solution though because when you plug it in you get 4=-4 which is not true.
