The Slope of a Line

Mathematics
1 answer:
Klio2033 [76]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

m = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Simply plug in our coordinates to find slope:

m = (11 - 2)/(5 - 8)

m = 9/-3

m = -3

Which image shows a plane slicing a double-napped cone to produce a hyperbola?<br><br> Answer is D
Butoxors [25]

The <u>second image</u> in the diagram is a hyperbola. As can be seen, the plane cutting the cone can be at any angle but never equal to the slant angle of the cone. This has a very important implication. The plane cuts both cones of the double-napped cone. The third double-napped cone of Figure 3 shows two hyperbolas.

"a pollster wishes to estimate the number of left-handed scientists. how large of a sample is needed in order to be 98% confiden
nadezda [96]
The sample size should be 250.

Our margin of error is 4%, or 0.04.  We use the formula

\text{ME}=z\sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}

To find the z-score:
Convert 98% to a decimal:  0.98
Subtract from 1:  1-0.98 = 0.02
Divide both sides by 2:  0.02/2 = 0.01
Subtract from 1:  1-0.01 = 0.99

Using a z-table (http://www.z-table.com) we see that this value has a z-score of approximately 2.33.  Using this, our margin of error and our proportion, we have:

0.04=2.33\sqrt{\frac{0.08(1-0.08)}{n}}&#10;\\&#10;\\0.04=2.33\sqrt{\frac{0.08(0.92)}{n}}

Divide both sides by 2.33:
\frac{0.04}{2.33}=\sqrt{\frac{0.08(0.92)}{n}}

Square both sides:
(\frac{0.04}{2.33})^2=\frac{0.08(0.92)}{n}

Multiply both sides by n:
(\frac{0.04}{2.33})^2n=0.08(0.92)

Divide both sides to isolate n:
\frac{0.08(0.92)}{(\frac{0.04}{2.33})^2}=n&#10;\\&#10;\\249.73=n&#10;\\n\approx 250

Can someone please please help me :/ I have to get this right. please help​
Vladimir [108]
<h3>Answer: Choice B. f(x) = 100 - 68x</h3>

Work Shown:

Solve for y. Then replace y with f(x).

680x + 10y - 1000 = 0\\\\10y - 1000 = -680x\\\\10y = -680x + 1000\\\\y = \frac{-680x + 1000}{10}\\\\y = \frac{-680x}{10} + \frac{1000}{10}\\\\y = -68x + 100\\\\y = 100 - 68x\\\\f(x) = 100 - 68x\\\\

Effectively this involves adding 1000 to both sides and subtracting 680x from both sides, afterward we divide both sides by 10 to isolate y.

A quadratic function is given. f(x) = 1 + x − 7 x2 (a) Use a graphing device to find the maximum or minimum value of the quadrat
Virty [35]

Answer:

a) P (x,y) \approx (0.1,1.05), b) P(x,y) = (0.07,1.04).

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The graphic is enclosed to the problem. By visual inspection, an absolute maximum is found.

P (x,y) \approx (0.1,1.05)

b) The exact method consists in the application of the First and Second Derivative Tests. First and second derivatives are, respectively:

f'(x) = 1 - 14\cdot x

f''(x) = -14

The First Derivative Test consists in equalizing the first derivative to zero and solving the expression:

1 - 14\cdot x = 0

x = 0.07

According to the second derivative, the critical point leads to a maximum. The remaining component is determined by evaluation the polynomial:

y = 1 +0.07-7\cdot (0.07)^{2}

y = 1.04

The exact solution is P(x,y) = (0.07,1.04), indicating that graphic solution leads to a good approximation.
