For this case we have the following expression:

$(-4) (- 4)$

Using law of exponents we have:

$(a ^ m) (a ^ n) = a ^ {m + n}$

We use the definition to rewrite the given expression

Rewriting we have:

$(-4) (- 4) = (- 4)^{ 1 + 1}\\(-4) (- 4) = (- 4) ^ 2$

Answer:

The rewritten expression is given by:

$(-4) (- 4) = (- 4) ^ 2$

Exponents are how many times is the number multiplied with it self so in this case (-4)(-4)
the number -4^2 we put the exponent 2 because the number is multiplied with it self 2 times

Solve the following proportion n/6=15/3

Natalka [10]

We can simplify 15/3 to 5.

N/6 = 5. Then multiply both sides of the equation by 6, giving us N = 30.

Graph the function in the coordinate plane. Use the Mark Feature tool to indicate the x- and y-intercepts of the function.y=2/3x

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

My blue dot is the y-intercept.

My red dot is my x-intercept.

Please look at the graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

I can show you my graph and mark it where the x-intercepts and y-intercepts are.

Let's begin.

We have y=2/3 x+4.

Compare this to the slope-intercept form, y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

You should see that m=2/3 and b=4.

This means the slope is 2/3 and the y-intercept is 4.

Don't forget slope means rise/run.

So once we graph 4 (plot a point) on the y-axis, then we will use our slope to get to one more point. The slope here tells us to rise 2 and run 3.

Now sometimes our graph is not accurate when drawing by hand so there is a way without graphing that you can find the x- and y-intercepts.

The x-intercept is when the y-coordinate is 0.

The y-intercept is when the x-coordinate is 0.

So to find the x-intercept, I'm going to set y to 0 and solve for x. Like so,

0=2/3 x +4

Subtract 4 on both sides:

-4=2/3 x

Multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 2/3 which is 3/2:

3/2 (-4)=x

Simplify:

-12/2=x

Simplify:

-6=x

Symmetric Property:

x=-6

So the x-intercept is (-6,0).

I actually already have the y-intercept since my equation is in y=mx+b (slope-intercept form). But if it wasn't you could just set x to 0 and solve for y. Like so:

y=2/3 (0)+4

y=0+4

y=4

The y-intercept is (0,4).

Let's go to our graph now.

Select Proportional or Not Proportional to correctly classify each pair of ratios.Proportional or Not Proportional 7/8 and 42/4

Yakvenalex [24]

Based on the given fractions above which are 7/8 and 42/4, in order for us to know if they are both proportional is to do the cross multiplication. Let's say, we multiply 4 by 7 and we get 28. Divide 28 by 8 and the result is 3.5 and not 42. Therefore, we can say that these fractions are NOT proportional. Hope this helps.

A physician wants to develop criteria for determining whether a patient's pulse rate is atypical, and she wants to determine whe

valkas [14]

Answer:

a) 66.1 < μ < 82.7

b) 71.9 < μ < 97.7

c) D. No, because the two confidence intervals overlap, we cannot conclude that the two population means are different.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval is given by the formula

M±t×( $\frac{s}{\sqrt{N} }$ ) where

M is the sample mean
t is the corresponding t value for 95 confidence level
s is the sample standard deviation
N is the sample size

a. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the mean pulse rate for males.

For men:

M=74.4 t=2.262 s=11.6207 N=10 then confidence interval is:

74.4±2.262×( $\frac{11.6207}{\sqrt{10 } }$ ) ≈ 74.4±8.3

b. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the mean pulse rate for females.

For women:

M=84.8 t=2.262 s=18.0488 N=10 then confidence interval is:

84.8±2.262×( $\frac{18.0488 }{\sqrt{10 } }$ ) ≈ 84.8±12.9

c. Compare the preceding results. Can we conclude that the population means for males and females are different?

Difference of Population means for males and females are not statistically significant, since confidence intervals overlap.
