Answer: \dfrac{1}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation of a line : y = 8x + 5

We know that general Slope-intercept form of equation is given by :-

y=mx+c, where m is the slope of the line.

When we compare the given equation the general slope intercept form of equation , we get

Slope of line = 8

We know that the product of slopes of two perpendicular line is -1.

Let m be the slope of  line that is perpendicular to the line y = 8x + 5, then we have

-8\times m=-1\\\\\Rightarrow\ m=\dfrac{1}{8}

Answer:

0.35

Step-by-step explanation:

0.25 × 1.4 =

0.25×100=25

1.4 × 10 = 14

25×10=250

25×4=100

250+100=350

25×14=350

350÷1000(0.25》25, 1.4》14)

Suppose that six guests check their hats when they arrive at the Cigar Parlor and that these hats are returned randomly when the
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

0.1667

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 6! ways to arrange the hats. The number of ways for which no guest will receive the proper hat is 5! (since there are 5 wrong hats for the first guest, 4 for the second guest, and so on). The probability that no guest will receive the proper hat is:

P=\frac{5!}{6!}=0.1667

The probability is 0.1667.

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

1. A is the null hypothesis. The null hypothesis is the statement in which everything is operating as expected; nothing unusual is going on.

2. C is the alternative hypothesis. The problem says that you are looking to see whether or not the machine is filling with an average of 24 ounces, so it could be over or under filling. B only accounts for under filling.

Complete parts a through c for the given function.
victus00 [196]

Answer:

a. The critcal points are at

x=0,-5,3

b. Then, x = -5   is a maximum and x=3 is a minimum

c. The absolute minimum is at   x = 3  and the absolute maximum is at  x = -5.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Remember that you need to find the points where

f'(x)=0

Therefore you have to solve this equation.

20x^4  + 40x^3 - 300x^2 = 0

From that equation you can factor out    20x^2  and you would get

20x^2 (  x^2  +2x - 15)  = 0

And from that you would have   20x^2 = 0  , so x = 0.

And you would also have  x^2 +2x-15 = 0.

You can factor that equation as    x^2 +2x -15 = (x+5)(x-3) = 0

Therefore   x=-5 ,   x=3.

So the critcal points are at

x=0,-5,3

b.  

Remember that a function has a maximum at a critical point if the second derivative at that point is negative. Since

f''(x) = 80x^3 + 120x^2 -600x\\f''(-5) = 80(-5)^3 + 120(-5)^2 -600(-5) = -4000 < 0\\\\f''(3) = 80(3)^3 + 120(3)^2 -600(3) = 1440 > 0 \\

Then, x = -5   is a maximum and x=3 is a minimum

c.

The absolute minimum is at   x = 3  and the absolute maximum is at  x = -5.

The average number of tunnel construction projects that take place at any one time in a certain state is 3. Find the probability
slega [8]

Answer: 0.1008188

Step-by-step explanation:

The question will usng the poisson distribution formula:

Given :

Mean(λ) number of occurrence in a given interval = 3

P(X=x) = Probability of exactly x occurrence in a given interval

Number of desired occurence(x) = 5

P(X=x) = [(λ^x) * (e^-λ)] / x!

Where ; e = base of natural logarithm = 2.7182818

P(X=5) = [(3^5) * (e^-3)] / 5!

P(X=5) = [(243) * (0.0497870)] / 120

P(X=5) = [12.098257] / 120

P(X=5) = 0.1008188
