Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponent of y is 2, which is not 1, so the equation is 2nd degree, not linear (1st degree).

Ahat [919]

Answer:Given:

P(A)=1/400

P(B|A)=9/10

P(B|~A)=1/10

By the law of complements,

P(~A)=1-P(A)=399/400

By the law of total probability,

P(B)=P(B|A)*P(A)+P(B|A)*P(~A)

=(9/10)*(1/400)+(1/10)*(399/400)

=51/500

Note: get used to working in fraction when doing probability.

(a) Find P(A|B):

By Baye's Theorem,

P(A|B)

=P(B|A)*P(A)/P(B)

=(9/10)*(1/400)/(51/500)

=3/136

(b) Find P(~A|~B)

We know that

P(~A)=1-P(A)=399/400

P(~B)=1-P(B)=133/136

P(A∩B)

=P(B|A)*P(A) [def. of cond. prob.]

=9/10*(1/400)

=9/4000

P(A∪B)

=P(A)+P(B)-P(A∩B)

=1/400+51/500-9/4000

=409/4000

P(~A|~B)

=P(~A∩~B)/P(~B)

=P(~A∪B)/P(~B)

=(1-P(A∪B)/(1-P(B)) [ law of complements ]

=(3591/4000) ÷ (449/500)

=3591/3592

The results can be easily verified using a contingency table for a random sample of 4000 persons (assuming outcomes correspond exactly to probability):

===....B...~B...TOT

..A . 9 . . 1 . . 10

.~A .399 .3591 . 3990

Tot .408 .3592 . 4000

So P(A|B)=9/408=3/136

P(~A|~B)=3591/3592

As before.

Find an equation of the line passing through the given points (1,-3) and (3,3)

chubhunter [2.5K]

ANSWER: y= 3x - 6

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

(1,-3) and (3,3)

X1=1 X2=3

Y1= - 3 Y2=3

1) Find the slope of the line.

To find the slope of the line passing through these two points we need to use the slope formula:

m = $\frac{Y2-Y1}{X2-X1}$

m= $\frac{3-(-3)}{3-1}$ m= $\frac{6}{2}$ = 3

2)Use the slope to find the y-intercept.

Now that we know the slope of the line is 3 we can plug the slope into the equation and we get:

y= 3x+b

Next choose one of the two point to plug in for the values of x and y. It does not matter which one of the two points you choose because you should get the same answer in either case. I generally just choose the first point listed so I don’t have to worry about which one I should choose.

y= 3x+b point (1,-3)

-3= 3(1) + b

-3-3=b

-6=b

3)Write the answer.

Using the slope of 3 and the y-intercept of -6 the answer is:

y = 3x - 6

Answer:

a - b2

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP 1 :

Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares:

1.1 Factoring: a-b2

Theory : A difference of two perfect squares, A2 - B2 can be factored into (A+B) • (A-B)

Proof : (A+B) • (A-B) =

A2 - AB + BA - B2 =

A2 - AB + AB - B2 =

A2 - B2

Note : AB = BA is the commutative property of multiplication.

Note : - AB + AB equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.

Check : a1 is not a square !!

Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the difference of two perfect squares

Final result :

a - b2

HOPE THIS HELPS!

7. Factor the expression. 42 - 64

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

-22 = -2^1×11^1

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the following integer:

-22

Hint: | Is 22 divisible by 2?

The last digit of 22 is 2, which means it is even. Therefore 22 is divisible by 2:

22 = 2 11:

-22 = -2×11

Hint: | Now try to factor 11. Is 11 divisible by 2?

11 is not divisible by 2 since 11 is odd and 2 is even:

-22 = -2×11 (11 is not divisible by 2)

Hint: | Is 11 divisible by 3?

The sum of the digits of 11 is 1 + 1 = 2, which is not divisible by 3. This means 11 is not divisible by 3:

-22 = -2×11 (11 is not divisible by 2 or 3)

Hint: | Is 11 divisible by 5?

The last digit of 11 is not 5 or 0, which means 11 is not divisible by 5:

-22 = -2×11 (11 is not divisible by 2, 3 or 5)

Hint: | Is 11 divisible by 7?

Divide 7 into 11:

| | 1 | (quotient)

7 | 1 | 1 |

- | | 7 |

| | 4 | (remainder)

11 is not divisible by 7:

-22 = -2×11 (11 is not divisible by 2, 3, 5 or 7)

Hint: | Is 11 prime?

No primes less than 11 divide into it. Therefore 11 is prime:

-22 = -2×11

Hint: | Express -22 as a product of prime powers.

There is 1 copy of 2 and 1 copy of 11 in the product:

Answer: -22 = -2^1×11^1
