The slope intercept form of the line whose points are (1,5) and (-2,-4) is y=3x+2.

Given two points of a line (1,5) and (-2,-4).

We have to form an equation in slop intercept form.

Equation is relationship between two or more variables which are expressed in equal to form.Equations of two variables looks like ax+by=c.

Point slope form of an equation is y=x+mc where m is slope of the line.

From two points the formula of equation is as under:

(y- $y_{1}$ )= $(y_{2} -y_{1} )/(x_{2} -x_{1} )$ *(x- $x_{1}$ )

where $(x_{1} ,y_{1} ) and (x_{2} ,y_{2} )$ are the points.

Putting the values of $x_{1}$ =1, $x_{2}$ =-2, $y_{1}$ =5 and $y_{2}$ =-4.

y-5=(-4-5/-2-1)*(x-1)

y-5=-9/-3*(x-1)

y-5=3(x-1)

y-5=3x-3

y=3x-3+5

y=3x+2

Hence the slope intercept form of the line having points (1,5)(-2,-4) is y=3x+2.

NEED HELP..... Select the polynomial that is a perfect square trinomial. 36x^2 − 4x + 16 16x^2 − 8x + 36 25x^2 + 9x + 4 4x^2 + 2

Iteru [2.4K]

<h3>Answer: Choice D. 4x^2 + 20x + 25</h3>

===============================================

Explanation:

Perfect square trinomials are in the form (a+b)^2 = a^2+2ab+b^2

So the first and last terms must be perfect squares. The middle term is twice that of the square roots of each first and last term.

Choice D fits the description because 4x^2 = (2x)^2 is the first term, so a = 2x and 25 = 5^2 is the last term meaning b = 5. Note how 2ab = 2*2x*5 = 20x is the middle term.

-------------

(a+b)^2 = a^2+2ab+b^2

(2x+5)^2 = (2x)^2+2*2x*5+5^2

(2x+5)^2 = 4x^2 + 20x + 25

An archaeologist uses an accelerator mass spectrometer to find the age of a buried branch. At the 68\%68%68, percent confidence

Komok [63]

Answer:

B. 10000 years old, with a margin of error of 400 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this complete problem: "12. An archaeologist uses an accelerator mass spectrometer to find the age of a buried branch. At the 68% confidence level, the spectrometer estimates that the branch was 10,000 years old with a following could the spectrometer estimate as the age of the branch at the 95% confidence level?"

The possible options are:

A. 9500 years old, with a margin of error of 500 years

B. 10000 years old, with a margin of error of 400 years

C. 9500 years olds, with a margin of error of 50 years

D. 10000 years old, with a margin of error of 40 year

Solution to the problem

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s represent the sample standard deviation

n represent the sample size

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

The margin of error for this case is given by this formula:

$ME= z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

For the first case the confidence was 68% so then $\alpha =1-0.68 =0.32$ and $\alpha/2 =0.16$ we can find a critical value on the normal standard distribution that accumulates 0.16 of the area on each tail and this value is $z=\pm 0.994$ , because P(z<-0.944) = 0.16 and P(Z>.944) = 0.16

The margin of error can be expressed like this:

$ME = z_{\alpha/2} SE$

We can solve for the standard error on this case and we got:

$SE = \frac{ME}{z_{\alpha/2}} =\frac{200}{0.994}=201.207$

And then for the new confidence interval we need to calculate the new $z_{\alpha}$ . For the first case the confidence was 95% so then $\alpha =1-0.95 =0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ we can find a critical value on the normal standard distribution that accumulates 0.025 of the area on each tail and this value is $z=\pm 1.96$ , because P(z<-1.96) = 0.025 and P(Z>1.96) = 0.025. So then the new margin of error would be:

$ME = z_{\alpha/2} SE = 1.96*201.207=394.366$

The estimation for the mean not changes and from the before and new case is 1000 years. So then the best option for this case would be:

B. 10000 years old, with a margin of error of 400 years

And makes sense since a larger confidence interval means a wider interval.

What is the value of y?<br> 40°<br> Y + 30°

stepan [7]

Answer:

y = 55

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles of a triangle are 180

40 + y+30 + y = 180

Combine like terms

70 +2y = 180

Subtract 70 from each side

2y = 180-70

2y = 110

Divide each side by 2

2y/2 = 110/2

y = 55

The life of a manufacturer's compact fluorescent light bulbs is normal, with mean 12,000 hours and standard deviation 2,000 hour

ikadub [295]

Mean = 12000
Standard Deviation = 2000

We have to find how many standard deviations is 14,500 away from the mean.
This can be achieved by calculating the z-score

Z-score tells us how many standard deviations above or below is a sample value from the mean. A positive z value shows, sample value is above the mean.

z score can be calculated as = (Sample Value - Mean )/Standard Deviation)
So,
Z-score = $\frac{14500-12000}{2000} =1.25$

This means, 14,500 is 1.25 standard deviations above the mean value 12,000.
