This is a great example of a word problem with way too much information. You have to decipher the important info. Since you are asked to discover the hourly rate, you only need to worry about the last example (and the fact that a trip fee is $45).

Let's set it up: (Let H represent the hourly wage)

$303 = (6H) + $45 (Move both dollar amounts on the left side and leave 6H on the right)

$303 - 45 = 6H  (Subtract the money on the left)

$258 = 6H (Divide 258 by 6)

$43 = H

30 points.. Please Help! I don't understand what to do with this question...a bit confused.
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
  Eh, here's my best try for a table:

                       <u>Like tv</u>          <u> don't like tv</u>       <u>total</u>
<u>Like reading:</u>     70                     10                 80
 <u>Don't like read</u>. <u>20</u>                     <u>30</u>               <u>50 </u> 
      <u>total </u>              90                    40               130

The percentage of students that like tv as well as reading is- 70 divided by 130 which gives you .538 which in percentage is 53.8%.

The probability of a student that does not prefer to watch tv as also does not like to spend their time reading is 30 over 40 which can be simplified or reduced to 3 over 4. [30/40 reduced to 3/4]

Hope this somehow helped you :)

Answer:

Formula for area of triangle:

<em>A = bh x 1/2</em>

1) height is 8, and base is 8, so:

8(8) x 1/2 = 32 yd

2) height is 5, base is 6, so:

6(5) x 1/2 = 15 ft

3) height is 8, base is 10, so:
10(8) x 1/2 = 40 in

3. If the line tangent to the graph of the function f at the point (1,7) also passes through the point
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

f'(-1)= 3

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)= (7-(-2))/(1-(-2))=9/3=3

Slope of the tangent line in the given point equals f' at this point.

So,

f'(-1)= 3

(-3,1) perpendicular to y=2/5x-4
miss Akunina [59]
(-3, 1)             y = 2/5x - 4 
 x₁  y₁              slope (m) = 2/5x

Since the equation we are looking for is perpendicular to y = 2/5x - 4, we need to find the opposite reciprocal slope. We have to flip the slope upside down and turn it negative.

2/5 ⇒ 5/2 ⇒ -5/2

So far, we have the equation y = -5/2.

Now, we need to find the y intercept by plugging in the given point into point slope form, which is...

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) 

The subscripts in the y and x are just the x and y in (-3,1). They are just placeholders, not exponents.

y - 1 = -5/2(x + 3)
 y - 1 = -5/2x - 15/2
   + 1               +     1
------------------------------
 y = -5/2x - 13/2 ⇒ final equation
