A person leaves her camp at 7:00 a.m. to hike back to her car. The distance from the car in kilometers y after x hours of hiking

can be modeled by the linear function y = − 3 x + 18 . What does the x -intercept of the function mean.

Answer:

The x axis in the function represents, the number of hours after 7:00 A.M. , the person reaches her car. The person reaches the car at 1:00 P.M.

Step-by-step explanation:

The x axis denotes the no. of hours and and the y axis denotes the distance from the car.

X Intercept is a point where the line intersects the X axis, we can easily notice the fact that at that point, y=0 ie. The person has reached his/her respective car.

The line intersects x at 6.

Therefore, a total of 6 hours are taken from the beginning of the hike.

Thus, the person reaches the car at 1:00 P.M.

The seasonal output of a new experimental strain of pepper plants was carefully weighed. The mean weight per plant is 15.0 pound
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

There are 118 plants that weight between 13 and 16 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

For any normal random variable X with mean μ and standard deviation σ : X ~ Normal(μ, σ)  

This can be translated into standard normal units by :  

Z = \frac{(X - \mu)}{\sigma}

Let X be the weight of the plant  

X ~ Normal( 15 , 1.75 )  

To find : P( 13 < X < 16 )  

= P(\frac{( 13 - 15 )}{1.75} < Z < \frac{( 16 - 15 )}{1.75})

= P( -1.142857 < Z < 0.5714286 )  

= P( Z < 0.5714286 ) - P( Z < -1.142857 )  

= 0.7161454 - 0.1265490  

= 0.5895965  

So, the probability that any one of the plants weights between 13 and 16 pounds is 0.5895965  

Hence, The expected number of plants out of 200 that will weight between 13 and 16 = 0.5895965 × 200

                                            = 117.9193  

Therefore, There are 118 plants that weight between 13 and 16 pounds.

Find dy/dx by implicit differentiation for ycos(x)=xcos(y)
alekssr [168]

Answer:

dy/dx = (cos y + y sin x) / (cos x + x sin y)

Step-by-step explanation:

y cos x = x cos y

y (-sin x) + dy/dx cos x = x (-sin y dy/dx) + cos y

-y sin x + dy/dx cos x = -x sin y dy/dx + cos y

dy/dx (cos x + x sin y) = cos y + y sin x

dy/dx = (cos y + y sin x) / (cos x + x sin y)

Solve the following system of equations by elimination​
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

y = -6

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

-x + 2y = -13

-x - 2y = 11

Sum the equations:

-x -x = -2x

+2y - 2y = 0

-13 + 11 = -2

then

-2x = -2

x = -2/-2

x = 1

from the first eq.

-x + 2y = -13

-1 + 2y = -13

2y = -13 + 1

2y = -12

y = -12/2

y = -6

check:

from the second eq.

-x -2y = 11

-1 -(2*-6) = 11

-1 -(-12) = 11

-1 + 12 = 11
