If you multiply by 3 negatives does it equal a negative?

Yes it does because when u multiply 2 negative you get a positive but since your adding another negative it goes back to a negative

A student has learned that test scores in math are determined by this quadratic function: s(t) = -(t-6)^2 + 99

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

a. 6, b. 99, c. 63

Step-by-step explanation:

A) The function s(t) is in the vertex form. The standard vertex form is a(x-h)+k where the vertex is (h,k). The vertex is the highest (or lowest in some cases) point of the graph, so if we use s(t) to get the vertex we get that h=6 and k=99. This means that for a student to get a perfect score they need to study 6 hours

B) We can just take the k value from the first question because that's the highest value for s(t), so the highest score will be 99

C) For this one just plug in 0 for time, so -(0-6)^2+99. This equals -(-6)^2+99, which equals 99-36 =63

Suppose a random variable x is best described by a uniform probability distribution with range 22 to 55. Find the value of a tha

const2013 [10]

Answer:

(a) The value of <em>a</em> is 53.35.

(b) The value of <em>a</em> is 38.17.

(c) The value of <em>a</em> is 26.95.

(d) The value of <em>a</em> is 25.63.

(e) The value of <em>a</em> is 12.06.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability density function of <em>X</em> is:

$f_{X}(x)=\frac{1}{55-22}=\frac{1}{33}$

Here, 22 < X < 55.

(a)

Compute the value of <em>a</em> as follows:

$P(X\leq a)=\int\limits^{a}_{22} {\frac{1}{33}} \, dx \\\\0.95=\frac{1}{33}\cdot \int\limits^{a}_{22} {1} \, dx \\\\0.95\times 33=[x]^{a}_{22}\\\\31.35=a-22\\\\a=31.35+22\\\\a=53.35$

Thus, the value of <em>a</em> is 53.35.

(b)

Compute the value of <em>a</em> as follows:

$P(X< a)=\int\limits^{a}_{22} {\frac{1}{33}} \, dx \\\\0.95=\frac{1}{33}\cdot \int\limits^{a}_{22} {1} \, dx \\\\0.49\times 33=[x]^{a}_{22}\\\\16.17=a-22\\\\a=16.17+22\\\\a=38.17$

Thus, the value of <em>a</em> is 38.17.

(c)

Compute the value of <em>a</em> as follows:

$P(X\geq a)=\int\limits^{55}_{a} {\frac{1}{33}} \, dx \\\\0.85=\frac{1}{33}\cdot \int\limits^{55}_{a} {1} \, dx \\\\0.85\times 33=[x]^{55}_{a}\\\\28.05=55-a\\\\a=55-28.05\\\\a=26.95$

Thus, the value of <em>a</em> is 26.95.

(d)

Compute the value of <em>a</em> as follows:

$P(X\geq a)=\int\limits^{55}_{a} {\frac{1}{33}} \, dx \\\\0.89=\frac{1}{33}\cdot \int\limits^{55}_{a} {1} \, dx \\\\0.89\times 33=[x]^{55}_{a}\\\\29.37=55-a\\\\a=55-29.37\\\\a=25.63$

Thus, the value of <em>a</em> is 25.63.

(e)

Compute the value of <em>a</em> as follows:

$P(1.83\leq X\leq a)=\int\limits^{a}_{1.83} {\frac{1}{33}} \, dx \\\\0.31=\frac{1}{33}\cdot \int\limits^{a}_{1.83} {1} \, dx \\\\0.31\times 33=[x]^{a}_{1.83}\\\\10.23=a-1.83\\\\a=10.23+1.83\\\\a=12.06$

Thus, the value of <em>a</em> is 12.06.

Find the constant of proportionality k. Then write an equation for the relationship between x and y

ExtremeBDS [4]

Question:

Find the constant of proportionality k. Then write an equation for the relationship between x and y

$\begin{array}{ccccc}x & {2} & {4} & {6} & {8} \ \\ y & {10} & {20} & {30} & {40} \ \ \end{array}$

Answer:

(a) $k = 5$

(b) $y = 5x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\begin{array}{ccccc}x & {2} & {4} & {6} & {8} \ \\ y & {10} & {20} & {30} & {40} \ \ \end{array}$

Solving (a): The constant of proportionality:

Pick any two corresponding x and y values

$(x_1,y_1) = (2,10)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (6,30)$

The constant of proportionality k is:

$k = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$k = \frac{30-10}{6-2}$

$k = \frac{20}{4}$

$k = 5$

Solving (b): The equation

In (a), we have:

$(x_1,y_1) = (2,10)$

k can also be expressed as:

$k = \frac{y- y_1}{x- x_1}$

Substitute values for x1, y1 and k

$5 = \frac{y- 10}{x- 2}$

Cross multiply:

$y - 10 = 5(x - 2)$

Open bracket

$y - 10 = 5x - 10$

Add 10 to both sides

$y - 10 +10= 5x - 10+10$

$y = 5x$
