Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2. Given a point with integral coordinates (a, b):

   <em>Vertical line that contains (a, b):</em>

       So here it's not to hard, all you have to understand, is what a vertical line is. If you were to draw a vertical line, you would notice that the x-values remain constant, and the only thing that changes is the y-value. So you're going to have an equation as such: x=a, where a is some constant value, and y is literally anything. So in this case b doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is that x=a. Which is the equation. As long as x is equal to a, it should pass through (a, b)

   <em>Horizontal line that contains (a, b):</em>

<em>        </em>So this is very similar to the vertical line, as one of the values is constant, although the variable that's constant is different. If you were to draw a horizontal line, you would notice the x is changing, but the y-value isn't. This means the y is going to equal to constant value, which may look something like: y=b, which is the equation in this case, since as long as y=b, then the x should at some point equal a on the horizontal line

Why is it impossible to write the equation of a vertical line in slope-intercept form:

   As mentioned before, in a vertical line, the only thing that varies is the y-value, so if you wrote a vertical line as such: y=mx+b, then the x-value would have to vary. But if we were to put restrictions on the equation so that x can only equal some constant value, that means y would only be one point, but if you draw a vertical line, you would know that the y-value is all real numbers (unless of course you put some range restriction), but even then it's going to be more than one number. The other thing is to write an equation in slope-intercept form, you need to know the slope. which is defined as \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}. and by definition a vertical line only varies in y-values and not x. The value of x is defined in the constant equation: x=a. So the slope would be defined as: \frac{y_2-y_1}{a-a} = \frac{y_2-y_1}{0} = \text{undeefined} ("I typed undefined wrong intentionally since it won't let me type it for some reason"). anyways the point is you can divide by 0. So main takeaways: the x-value can't vary, the formula has to output all real numbers for the y-value (unless some range restriction), the slope will have 0 as the denominator since x doesn't vary meaning x_2 - x_1 will = 0, because x_2 = x_1 (because x doesn't vary)

Given an equation in point slope form, explain how to determine the coordinate of the y-intercept:

   There are two ways to do this. The point slope form is expressed as such: y-a = m(x-b). But the m can be distributed so the equation becomes y-a = mx-mb and then add "a" to both equations to get y=mx -mb+a, in this case (0, -mb+a) will be the y-intercept, because if you plug in x as 0, mx will become 0 and it will leave these two values. You could also just of course plug in 0 as x in the point slope intercept form: y-a = m(x-b) and then solve for y. This gives the same result as it simplified to y-a = m(-b) which becomes y-a=-mb which then becomes y=-mb+a.

Use the quadratic formula to solve. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.<br> 2x^2 -3x -7 = 0
abruzzese [7]

The quadratic formula is:

\frac{-b + \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a} and  \frac{-b - \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a}

In this case, a = 2, b = -3, and c = -7

So, we can plug in the numbers to get:

  \frac{-(-3) + \sqrt{(-3)^2 - 4(2)(-7)} }{2(2)} and    \frac{-(-3) - \sqrt{(-3)^2 - 4(2)(-7)} }{2(2)}

Simplifying, we get:

    \frac{3 + \sqrt{65} }{4} and   \frac{3 - \sqrt{65} }{4}

You need to use a calculator to find what these would be in decimal form. The answer, rounded to the nearest tenth, is: x = 2.8, x = -1.3

Because of safety considerations, in May 2003 the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) changed its guidelines for how small com
Rasek [7]

Answer:

a) The 95% confidence interval for the mean summer weight (including carry-on luggage) of Frontier Airlines passengers is between 179 and 187 pounds. This means that we are 95% sure that the mean summer weight of all Frontier Airlines passengers is between these two values.

b)

The 95% confidence interval for the mean winter weight (including carry-on luggage) of Frontier Airlines passengers is between 185.4 pounds and 194.6 pounds. This means that we are 95% sure that the mean winter weight of all Frontier Airlines passengers is between these two values.

c) They are respected, as the upper bound of both intervals is below the new FAA recommendations.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve these questions.

Question a:

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 100 - 1 = 99

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 99 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975. So we have T = 1.9842

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.9842\frac{20}{\sqrt{100}} = 4

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 183 - 4 = 179 pounds.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 183 + 4 = 187 pounds.

The 95% confidence interval for the mean summer weight (including carry-on luggage) of Frontier Airlines passengers is between 179 and 187 pounds. This means that we are 95% sure that the mean summer weight of all Frontier Airlines passengers is between these two values.

Question b:

Critical value is the same(same sample size and confidence level).

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.9842\frac{23}{\sqrt{100}} = 4.6

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 190 - 4.6 = 185.4 pounds.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 190 + 4.6 = 194.6 pounds.

The 95% confidence interval for the mean winter weight (including carry-on luggage) of Frontier Airlines passengers is between 185.4 pounds and 194.6 pounds. This means that we are 95% sure that the mean winter weight of all Frontier Airlines passengers is between these two values.

c. The new FAA recommendations are 190 pounds for summer and 195 pounds for winter. Comment on these recommendations in light of the confidence interval estimates from Parts (a) and (b).

They are respected, as the upper bound of both intervals is below the new FAA recommendations.

If rx – st = r, which expression represents r.
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

{ \tt{rx - st = r}}

» Collect like terms, r terms on the left hand side by subtracting r from both sides and adding st to both sides

{ \tt{(rx - st) { \green{ - r + st }} = r{ \green{ - r + st}}}} \\ { \tt{rx - r = st}}

» On the left hand side, factorise out r

{ \tt{ \green{r(x - 1)} = st}} \\  \\ { \boxed{ \tt{ \blue{ \: r =  \frac{st}{x - 1} }}}}
