About Y-Intercept:

Y - intercept is part of an ordered pair. The y-intercept is the 2nd number in an ordered pair. Like, for example, (3,5)... 3 is the x - intercept & 5 is the y -intercept. Y-intercept is a point on the line & is also known as the starting point. Y - intercepts can be used in 4 different forms: Standard Form, Slope -Intercept Form, Point Slop Form, and this form (<u>Y2 - Y1</u>)

X2 - X1

Hope this info helps!!! :)

Y-intercept, it can be described as y-intercept form, or another way of writing it in mathematical form is y=mx+b, this can be used to draw polygons, find ortho-centers (very difficult), etc. m is the rise/run, rise over run, or 1/2. The rise and the run is the rate of change. b is the starting point or slope where it starts at, that is most of it!

Zendaya has 5656 yard of wood to make racks for a word tile game. Each rack needs to be 1616 yard long. How many racks can Zenda

snow_lady [41]

Answer: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Zendaya has 5656 yards of wood

Each rack need 1616 yards

Number of racks that can be formed using 5656 yards are

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{5656}{1616}=3.5$

3.5 represents 3 racks as 0.5 racks is insignificant

Therefore, 3 racks can be built from 5656 yards

Mr. Brown's salary is $32,000 and it increases by 3% each year. What is the explicit rule for this sequence in simplified form?

katovenus [111]

Answer:

This is the concept of geometric series. We are required to find the recursive formula for year n. Here we will use the formula;

nth=ar^(n-1)

where;

a=first term

r=common ratio

n=nth term

Thus

a=8.50

r=(8.85)/(8.50)=1.0412

thus the formula will be:

nth=8.50(1.0412)^n

You want to create a 99% confidence interval with a margin of error of .5. Assuming the population standard deviation is equal t

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

Sample size minimum is 60

Step-by-step explanation:

given that you want to create a 99% confidence interval with a margin of error of .5.

The population standard deviation is equal to 1.5

i.e. $\sigma = 0.5$

Confidence level = 99%

Since population std deviation is known, we can use Z critical value for finding margin of error

Z critical value for 99% = 2.58

Margin of error = $2.58*\frac{1.5}{\sqrt{n} }$

Equate this to 0.5 and solve for n

$2.58*\frac{1.5}{\sqrt{n} }=0.5\\\sqrt{n} =7.74\\n =59.90\\n=60$
