Answer:

y= -x+7, b= sqrt(2P/a), c=3P^2-b

Step-by-step explanation:

First, make a table regarding both of the equations. You will eventually find out that both lines intersect at the point (2, 5) after you find the points on the table. From there, subtract x from both sides in the equation x + y = 2. You will get y = -x + 2. Since they said the line was parallel, find a line that has the slope of negative one. Since we know that this line intersects the point in which the first two lines intersect, we know that the y-intercept will be 7. The equation of the line would be y=-x+7.

Multiply both sides by 2. Then, divide both sides by a to get b^2=(2P/a). Take the square root to get the value of b, which is sqrt(2P/a).

Square both sides of the equation to get P^2=(b+c)/3. Cross multiply to get 3P^2=b+c. Subtract b from both sides to get c=3P^2-b.

How do you factor 7+14

mote1985 [20]

You could factor a 7 out of 7 + 14 to get 7(1 + 2).

This would equal the same thing as 7 + 14, which is 21.

7 * 3 = 21.

21 can be factored like so:

1 * 21 = 21

3 * 7 = 21

Kanji buys 3 yards of fabric for $7.47. Then he realizes that he needs 2 more yards Of the Same fabric. How much will the extra

emmainna [20.7K]

It will cost 4.98.
Explanation: If you divide 7.47 by 3, you get 2.49. One yard plus one yard equals two yards. Multiply 2.49 by 2 to get the answer.

What is the formula for a counterclockwise rotation of 180°?!?!

Sloan [31]

Answer: A (x,y) is your original. Your answer after would be A' (-x,-y) you would change the sign. If its negative it becomes positive, and if it'd positive it becomes negative.

In a large population, 3% of the people are heroin users. A new drug test correctly identifies users 93% of the time and correct

kari74 [83]

Answer:

(a) The probability tree is shown below.

(b) The probability that a person who does not use heroin in this population tests positive is 0.10.

(c) The probability that a randomly chosen person from this population is a heroin user and tests positive is 0.0279.

(d) The probability that a randomly chosen person from this population tests positive is 0.1249.

(e) The probability that a person is heroin user given that he/she was tested positive is 0.2234.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

<em>X</em> = a person is a heroin user

<em>Y</em> = the test is correct.

Given:

P (X) = 0.03

P (Y|X) = 0.93

P (Y|X') = 0.99

(a)

The probability tree is shown below.

(b)

Compute the probability that a person who does not use heroin in this population tests positive as follows:

The event is denoted as (Y' | X').

Consider the tree diagram.

The value of P (Y' | X') is 0.10.

Thus, the probability that a person who does not use heroin in this population tests positive is 0.10.

(c)

Compute the probability that a randomly chosen person from this population is a heroin user and tests positive as follows:

$P(X\cap Y)=P(Y|X)P(X)=0.93\times0.03=0.0279$

Thus, the probability that a randomly chosen person from this population is a heroin user and tests positive is 0.0279.

(d)

Compute the probability that a randomly chosen person from this population tests positive as follows:

P (Positive) = P (Y|X)P(X) + P (Y'|X')P(X')

$=(0.93\times0.03)+(0.10\times0.97)\\=0.1249$

Thus, the probability that a randomly chosen person from this population tests positive is 0.1249.

(e)

Compute the probability that a person is heroin user given that he/she was tested positive as follows:

$P(X|positive)=\frac{P(Y|X)P(X)}{P(positive)} =\frac{0.93\times0.03}{0.1249}= 0.2234$

Thus, the probability that a person is heroin user given that he/she was tested positive is 0.2234.
