Answer:

2.2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that point J(-2,1) and point K(4,5) form line segment JK. The point P partitions JK in the ratio 3:7.

To find the y-coordinate of point P we will use section formula, when a point A divides a segment JK internally in the ratio m:n.      

[x=\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},y=\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}]  

Upon substituting our given values in above formula we will get,

[x=\frac{3*4+7*-2}{3+7},y=\frac{3*5+7*1}{3+7}]

[x=\frac{12-14}{10},y=\frac{15+7}{10}]

[x=\frac{-2}{10},y=\frac{22}{10}]

[x=-0.2,y=2.2]  

Therefore, the y-coordinate of point P is 2.2.

If J(x_1,y_1) and K(x_2,y_2) are two points, then P(\frac{nx_1+mx_2}{m+n},\frac{ny_1+my_2}{m+n}) partitions JK in the ratio, m:n.

The y-coordinate of P is

y=\frac{ny_1+my_2}{m+n}=\frac{7*1+3*5}{3+7}=\frac{11}{5}

An open box is to be made from a square piece of cardboard, 18 inches by 18 inches, by removing a small square from each corner
seraphim [82]

The dimension of the box of the greatest volume that can be constructed in this way is 12x12x3 and the volume is 432.

<h3>How to solve the dimension?</h3>

Let x be the side of the square to remove. Then the volume of the box is:

V(x) = (18 - 2x)² * x = 324x - 72x² + 4x³

To find the maximum volume, differentiate and set it to 0:

V'(x) = 324 - 144x + 12x²

0 = x² - 12x + 27

0 = (x - 9)(x - 3)

x = 3 or 9

When x = 3,

V"(x) =-144+24x

V"(3) =-144+72=-72<0

so volume is maximum at x=3

Therefore the box is 12x12x3 and the volume is 432.

Suppose the test scores of students in a class are normally distributed with a mean of 85 and a standard deviation of 4. What is
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Converting it to z, we can use the formula of z-score:

z-score = \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Where

x is the value we are checking for (here, x = 79)

\mu  is the mean, which is 85

\sigma is the standard deviation, which is 4 now

<em>Let's plug the information into the formula and solve for the answer:</em>

<em>\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\frac{79-85}{4}\\-\frac{6}{4}\\-1.5</em>

<em />

<em>B is the correct answer.</em>
