Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

$4.35 x 15 hr = $65.25

$100 - $ 65.25 = $34.75

$34.75 / $2.2 = 15.79 bushels

round up to 16

16 x 2.20 = $35.20

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

$4.35 x 15 hr = $65.25

$100 - $ 65.25 = $34.75

$34.75 / $2.2 = 15.79 bushels

round up to 16

16 x 2.20 = $35.20

Amanda placed her finger on the origin of a regular coordinate plane. She marked a point after moving her finger 1 unit to the l

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

( x , y ) = ( -1 , - 5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- The rectangular coordinate system ( Cartesian ) is defined by two independent variables namely, "x and y".

- The values of both varibales lie on the horizontal and vertical line respectively, ( x & y ).

- The values on the horizontal axis also known as the x-axis is marked with a referece of x = 0 ( origin ). All the values to the right of the point of origin are denoted as positive units and all values to the left of the point of origin are denoted as negative units.

- Similarly, The values on the vertical axis also known as the y-axis is marked with a referece of y = 0 ( origin ). All the values to the above the point of origin are denoted as positive units and all values below of the point of origin are denoted as negative units.

- The axis are conventionally oriented such that 90 degrees angle is formed in between them and always denoted in the counter-clockwise direction.

In other words, if +x is pointing to the right then the +y will be pointed in the direction when +x is rotated counter clockwise to 90 degrees; hence, points upward.

- When Amanda starts off at the origin she is at the order pair ( 0 , 0 ).

- She then moves her finger 1 unit to left ( -x ) and 5 units down ( -y ). Hence, she moves 1 unit along the -x direction and then moves 5 units down along -y direction.

Hence, she is at an ordered pair ( x , y ) = ( -1 , - 5 ) .

7. Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line graphed below.

Stels [109]

Answer:

The answer to your question is $y = \frac{-1}{2} x - 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Process

1.- Get to points of the line

A (-2, 0)

B (0, -1)

2.- Find the slope of the line

Slope = m = $\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

Substitution

m = $\frac{-1 - 0}{0 + 2} = \frac{-1}{2}$

3.- Find the equation of the line

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Substitution

y - 0 = -1/2(x + 2)

Simplification

y = -1/2x - 1

Steel rods are manufactured with a mean length of 29 centimeter (cm). Because of variability in the manufacturing process, the l

zavuch27 [327]

Solution :

Given data :

The mean length of the steel rod = 29 centimeter (cm)

The standard deviation of a normally distributed lengths of rods = 0.07 centimeter (cm)

a). We are required to find the proportion of rod that have a length of less than 28.9 centimeter (cm).

Therefore, P(x < 28.9) = P(z < (28.9-29) / 0.07)

= P(z < -1.42)

= 0.0778

b). Any rods which is shorter than $24.84$ cm or longer than $25.16$ cm that re discarded.

Therefore,

P (x < 24.84 or 25.16 < x) = P( -59.42 < z or -54.85)

= 1.052
