Answer:

w = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute the expression and compare like terms with the simplified version.

Given

wx(3y² + 6y - 2) ← distribute parenthesis

= 3wxy² + 6wxy - 2wx

Compare coefficients of like terms with

6xy² + 12xy - 4x

Compare xy² term, then

3w = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

w = 2

Compare xy term, then

6w = 12 ( divide both sides by 6 )

w = 2

Compare x term, then

- 2w = - 4 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

w = 2

Hence the required value of w is 2

g Nationwide, a certain disease occurs only a small proportion of people (.000215). A certain town has 74,000 residents. Use the

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

The probability that the town has 30 or fewer residents with the illness = 0.00052.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we have the following set of data or information or parameters given from the question above and they are; the number of people living in that particular society/community/town = 74,000 residents and the proportion of people that the diseases affected = .000215.

The first step to do is to determine the expected number of people with disease. Thus, the expected number of people with disease = 74,000 × .000215 = 15.91.

Hence, the probability that the town has 30 or fewer residents with the illness = 1.23 × 10^-7 × 15.91^30/ 2.65253 × 10^-32 = 0.00052.

Note the formula used in the calculating the probability that the town has 30 or fewer residents with the illness = e^-λ × λ^x/ x!

Given f(x)=x-8 find f(1)+10

Ronch [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

replace all x variables with 1 and solve that equation ; f(x)=x-8 so.... f(x) = 1-8

there for f(1)=-7

now, add -7 and 10 for your answer:

f(1)+10= 3

Which equations and/or functions represent the graphed line? Select four options. f(x) = 0.2x - 4

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

f(x) = 0.2x - 4 (incorrect)

f(x) = 0.5x + 2 (correct)

f(x) = 1/2x + 2 (correct)

y – 3 = 1/2(x – 2) (correct)

y – 1 = 0.5(x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 : Find two coordinates

(0, 2) (-4, 0)

Step 2 : Find the slope

Slope = m = Y2-Y1/X2-X1

m = 0-2/-4-0

m = -2/-4

m = 1/2 or 0.5

Step 3 : Find the y-intercept

Y-intercept is where the line intersects the y-axis

c = 2

Step 4 : Form the equation y=mx + c

Given Equations and their slope intercept forms:

1) f(x) = 0.2x - 4

This is incorrect because slope is 1/2 or 0.5 and y intercept is 2

2) f(x) = 1/2x + 2

y = 1/2x + 2

This is correct because slope is 1/2 or 0.5 and y intercept is 2

3) f(x) = 0.5x + 2

y= 0.5x + 2 (As m=0.5)

This is correct because slope is 1/2 or 0.5 and y intercept is 2

4) y – 3 = 1/2(x – 2)

Rearranging in slope intercept form:

y-3=1/2x - 1

y = 1/2x-1+3

y = 1/2x + 2

This is correct because slope is 1/2 or 0.5 and y intercept is 2

5) y – 1 = 0.5(x + 2)

y -1 = 0.5x+1

y = 0.5x +1+1

y = 0.5x + 2

This is correct because slope is 1/2 or 0.5 and y intercept is 2

Okay. The prices are definitely not the same. At the Snack Shop, granola bars cost $1.25 and granola bars cost $1.30 at Sports Field. By looking at the tenths place, you can tell that 1.25 < 1.30, because 2 is less than 3. So the Snack Shop sells granola bars at a lower price. The answer is C: Snack Shop.
