Answer: it is -1

Step-by-step explanation: rate of change can be defined as Δy/Δx, or the change in y over the change in c (commonly referred to as rise over run). By looking at the numbers we can see that the relationship modeled is linear (has a constant rate of change), so we are able to use this formula to calculate its rate of change. Simply calculate the change between any two values of y and (the associated) values of x and divide them to obtain your solution. I’m not the best at explaining math in words so here is the solution represented symbolically:

Rate of change = Δy/Δx

Δy/Δx = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (1 - (-2))/(2 - 5) //the selected values for y2,y1,x2, and x1 are the last and first values for each, respectively.

3/-3 = -1

A study was conducted to determine if the salaries of librarians from two neighboring cities were equal. A sample of 15 libraria

kow [346]

Answer:

For the first city, the 95% confidence interval would be:

28,900 +/- 2300 x 3 = 28,900 +/-6900$

For the second city, the 95% confidence interval would be:

30,300 +/- 2100 x 3 = 30,300 +/- 6300$

What is the local minimum value of the function? (Round answer to the nearest hundredth) g(x)=x^4-5x^2+4

Serhud [2]

The local minimum of function is an argument x for which the first derivative of function g(x) is equal to zero, so:
g'(x)=0
g'(x)=(x^4-5x^2+4)'=4x^3-10x=0
x(4x^2-10)=0
x=0 or 4x^2-10=0
4x^2-10=0 /4
x^2-10/4=0
x^2-5/2=0
[x-sqrt(5/2)][x+sqrt(5/2)]=0

Now we have to check wchich argument gives the minimum value from x=0, x=sqrt(5/2) and x=-sqrt(5/2).
g(0)=4
g(sqrt(5/2))=25/4-5*5/2+4=4-25/4=-9/4
g(-sqrt(5/2))=-9/4
The answer is sqrt(5/2) and -sqrt(5/2).

suppose 5 men and 7 women are on a crowded elevator. at the next floor, four people get off the elevator. find the probability t

lubasha [3.4K]

The total number of arrangements for all of them to be women is:
C(7, 4) because the order does not matter; we'd still have the same arrangements.

Now, we can simplify this:
$C(7, 4) = \frac{7!}{4!(7 - 4)!}$
$= \frac{5040}{4!3!}$
$= \frac{5040}{24 \cdot 6}$
$= \frac{5040}{144} = 35$

Now, the total number of arrangements, without restriction, is simply: C(12, 4) because we don't care who we pick.

$\text{P(4 women): } \frac{35}{495} = \frac{7}{99}$
