What is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form?

stepladder [879]

Slope intercept form is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y part of an intercept where x is 0. So the equation for slope (y1-y2)/(x1-x2) with y1 and y2 the y values of 2 points and x1 and x2 those points' x values, so if you would use the points (-2,0) and (0,5) (I used intercepts because they are easier, but you can use any points on the line) you would get (0-5)/(-2-0) and then 5/2 for the slope. plugging in then you get y=5/2*x+5

Show that y=cos(t)y=cos(t) is a solution to (dydt)2=1−y2(dydt)2=1−y2. Enter your answers below in terms of the independent varia

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

$(\frac{dy}{dt})^2=sin^2t$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y=cost$

DE : $(\frac{dy}{dt})^2=1-y^2$

If y is a solution of given DE then it satisfied the DE.

Differentiate w.r.t t

$\frac{dy}{dt}=-sint$

Using the formula

$\frac{d(cosx)}{dx}=-sinx$

LHS: $(\frac{dy}{dt})^2=(-sint)^2=sin^2t$

RHS

$1-y^2=1-cos^2t=sin^2t$

By using the formula

$sin^2t=1-cos^2t$

LHS=RHs

Hence, y is a solution of given DE

$(\frac{dy}{dt})^2=sin^2t$

The weights of the fish in a certain lake are normally distributed with a mean of 11 lb and a standard deviation of 6. if 4 fish

Alexus [3.1K]

Since the sample standard deviation is now known, we use the z-score test. The formula is given as:

z= (X – μ) / (s / sqrt(n))

Where,

X = sample mean = 8.6 lb to 14.6 lb

μ = population mean = 11 lb

s = population standard deviation = 6

n = sample size = 4

1st: Calculating for z when x = 8.6 lb

z = (8.6 – 11) / (6 / sqrt4)

z = - 0.8

Using the standard distribution table for z:

Probability (x = 8.6 lb) = 0.2119

2nd: Calculating for z when x = 14.6 lb

z = (14.6 – 11) / (6 / sqrt4)

z = 1.2

Using the standard distribution table for z:

Probability (x = 14.6 lb) = 0.8849

Therefore the probability that the mean weight will be between 8.6 and 14.6 lb:

Probability (8.6 ≤ x ≤ 14.6 ) = 0.8849 - 0.2119

Probability (8.6 ≤ x <span>≤ 14.6 ) = 0.673 (ANSWER)</span>

5- One month Selena made 4 withdrawals for $ 20and 2 withdrawals for $ 80 from her account .Howdid the withdrawals change the am

notsponge [240]

Answer: total withdrawal: 80+ 160= 240

Step-by-step explanation:

She withdrawl from her bank acount for 4 times for 20 dollars means that you multiply 20 with 4= 80 and she also made two withdrawal for 80 so you take 80 mutiply by 2= 160 plus all together is the total amount of withdrawal that she took from the bank
