What is the y-intercept of the function,represented by the table of values below?

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

So the y-intercept is not given by your table because there is no x that is listed as 0.

But don't fret; we can still find it.

Let's see if the function is linear by seeing if we have the same slope per two points in the table.

For the first pair ( the points (-2,16) and (1,4) ), x increased by 3 and the y decreased by 12 so the slope there is -12/3=-4.

Now looking at the next pair ( the points (1,4) and (2,0) ), x increased by 1 while y decreased by 4 so the slope is -4/1=-4.

So the function appears to be linear.

So the slope-intercept form of a line is y=mx+b where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

We already found the slope from earlier which is m=-4.

So the equation so far is y=-4x+b.

Now to find b, the y-intercept, we need to use a point (x,y) on the line along with y=-4x+b.

Let's see my favorite on the list of points is (2,0).

y=-4x+b with (x,y)=(2,0)

0=-4(2)+b

0=-8+b

8=b

So the y-intercept is 8.

Find the length of side AB in the right triangle shown.
Bogdan [553]
Side AB is 72 cm long.



Explanation:

To find the length of side AB you have to use this formula:

{a}^{2}  +  {b}^{2}  =  {c}^{2}

*Remember there are two legs (a and b) and a hypotenuse (c) on a triangle. The longest side will be the hypotenuse and the other two will be the legs. For this triangle the hypotenuse is side BC while the legs are sides CA and side AB.

Plug in the numbers into the equation.


{65}^{2}  +  {b}^{2}  =  {97}^{2}
For this triangle, you were given the hypotenuse (c) and one leg (a). To find the last length solve the equation and balance it so only b is left, like this:

4225 +  {b}^{2}  = 9409

9409 - 4225 = 5184

Soo...

{b}^{2}  = 5184

Then to get the side length, square root 5184.

\sqrt{5184}  = 72

So the length of the last side is 72 cm.

According to the empirical rule, if the data form a bell-shaped normal distribution, __________ of the observations will fall wi
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

95%

Step-by-step explanation:

The empirical rule states that if data follows normal distribution then the percentage of observations falls within one, two and three standard deviation around the mean are

i) 68% falls within one standard deviation

ii) 95% falls within two standard deviation

iii) 99.7% falls within three standard deviation.

Hence 95% of the observations will fall within two standard deviations around the mean if the data follows normal distribution.
