1. In 2009 the number of vehicle sales in the United States was 10,602 thousand and in 2013 it was15,884 thousand.a. Determine t

he average rate of change (slope) from 2009 to 2013.b. If x is the number of years since 2009 and f(x) is the number of vehicles sold, find theequation of the line through these two points.C. Assuming f(x) is a linear function, use the equation to predict the number of vehiclessold in 2016.

Answer:

• (a)1320.5 thousand per year

,

• (b)f(x)=1320.5x+10602

,

• (c)f(7)=19846 thousand

Explanation:

Sales in the year 2009 = 10,602 thousand

Sales in the year 2013 = 15,884 thousand.

(a)Average rate of change (slope) from 2009 to 2013.

\begin{gathered} =\frac{15,884-10,602}{2013-2009} \\ =\frac{5282}{4} \\ =1320.5\text{ thousand per year} \end{gathered}

(b)If x is the number of years since 2009 and f(x) is the number of vehicles sold

When x=0, f(x)=10,602 thousand

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is: y=mx+b

\begin{gathered} 10602=1320.5(0)+b \\ b=10602 \end{gathered}

The equation of the line through these two points is:

f(x)=1320.5x+10602

(c)Number of vehicles sold in 2016.

2016-2009=7

Therefore, when x=7

The number of vehicles sold, f(x) will be:

\begin{gathered} f(7)=1320.5(7)+10602 \\ =19845.5 \\ \approx19846\text{ thousands vehicle} \end{gathered}

Count the units on the sides. On the Y axis the rectangle is 4 units and on the X axis the rectangle is 6 units. Area of a rectangle=L*W so, 6*4=24. Perimeter is 4*2 and 6*2=8+12=20. Hope this helps!

Aloiza [94]
Draw the points on a graph, you will have three points and need to add the fourth to make the corners of a rectangle. After you have found the point on the missing corner of the rectangle see what its x and y coordinates are.


The answer is: (2, -2)

What is the answer for 10-6(5-2y)
grin007 [14]

Answer:

-20 + 12y

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: 10 - 6(5 - 2y)

Step 1:

10 - 30 + 12y          Multiply (5 - 2y) by -6 (distributive property)

Step 2:

-20 + 12y            Subtract 10 by 30 (10 - 30 = -20)

The mean time it takes to walk to the bus stop is 8 minutes (with a standard deviation of 2 minutes) and the mean time it takes
11111nata11111 [884]
(a) Average time to get to school
Average time (minutes) = Summation of the two means = mean time to walk to bus stop + mean time for the bust to get to school = 8+20 = 28 minutes

(b) Standard deviation of the whole trip to school
Standard deviation for the whole trip = Sqrt (Summation of variances)

Variance = Standard deviation ^2
Therefore,
Standard deviation for the whole trip = Sqrt (2^2+4^2) = Sqrt (20) = 4.47 minutes

(c) Probability that it will take more than 30 minutes to get to school
P(x>30) = 1-P(x=30)
Z(x=30) = (mean-30)/SD = (28-30)/4.47 ≈ -0.45
Now, P(x=30) = P(Z=-0.45) = 0.3264
Therefore,
P(X>30) = 1-P(X=30) = 1-0.3264 = 0.6736 = 67.36%

With actual average time to walk to the bus stop being 10 minutes;

(d) Average time to get to school
Actual average time to get to school = 10+20 = 30 minutes

(e) Standard deviation to get to school
Actual standard deviation = Previous standard deviation = 4.47 minutes. This is due to the fact that there are no changes with individual standard deviations.

(f) Probability that it will take more than 30 minutes to get to school
Z(x=30) = (mean - 30)/Sd = (30-30)/4.47 = 0/4.47 = 0

From Z table, P(x=30) = 0.5
And therefore, P(x>30) = 1- P(X=30) = 1- P(Z=0.0) = 1-0.5 = 0.5 = 50%
