Answer:

Z = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

In a normal distribution, the Z score that corresponds with a data point x is calculated using the formula;

$Z=\frac{x-mean}{standard deviation}$

For the case given, the z score will be;

$Z=\frac{34-16}{6}=3$

1) Graph the following lines and using the graph determine several values of x for which the graph is positive (negative):

Aleksandr [31]

1) $y=-0.5x-2$

The graph of the above equation is attached in the attachment below.

For all the values from negative infinity to -4, the function is positive.

X ∈ (-∞,-4]

2) $y=-1.5x+3$

To find the x- intercept, plug y =0

$0=-1.5x+3$

$1.5x=3$

$x=2$

x intercept = (2,0)

To find the y- intercept, plug x=0

$y=-1.5(0)+3$

$y=3$

Y- intercept = ( 0,3)

3) $y=13-x$

Y- intercept = (0,13)

x- intercept = (13,0)

Area of triangle = $\frac{bh}{2}$

Area of triangle = $\frac{13\times13}{2}$

Area = $\frac{169}{2}$ sq unit.

4) The graphs of $y=-2x+7$ and $y=0.5x-5.5$ is attached in the attachment below.

The intersection point is ( 5,-3)

5) A = (-3,0)

B = (4,5)

C = (0,-4)

Slope of AB = $\frac{5-0)}{4-(-3)} =\frac{5}{7}$

Slope intercept of line $y=mx+b$

Where, m is the slope and b is the y- intercept.

Plugging point A and the slope in the y- intercept to find the value of b.

$0=\frac{5(-3)}{7} +b$

$b=\frac{15}{7}$

Equation of line AB: $y=\frac{5x}{7} +\frac{15}{7}$

Slope of BC = $\frac{-4-5}{0-4} =\frac{9}{4}$

Plug C = (0,-4)

$-4=0+b$

b=-4

equation of line BC= $y=\frac{9x}{4} -4$

Slope of line AC = $\frac{-4-0}{0--3} =\frac{-4}{3}$

Equation of line AC = $y=\frac{-4x}{3} -4$

Y intercept of AB = $(0,\frac{15}{7} )$

ycow [4]

(-2, 0) and (0, -2)
slope = (0+2)/(-2 - 0) = -1
b = -2

slope intercept equation
y = -x - 2

compare equation from given
y - 3 = -(x + 5)
y - 3 = -x - 5
y = -x - 5 + 3
y = -x - 2 (matched slope intercept equation)

answer is A
y - 3 = -(x + 5)

i bought 6 apples for0.30 dollars each and 5 oranges for 0.40 dollars each. how much did i spend ? write an equation then solve

katovenus [111]

Answer:

3.8

Step-by-step explanation:

if the apples are 0.30 cents each then you multiply .3 X 6 and you get 1.8 because 1 apple is .30 cents you want to know how much is 6.

Next you pay .40 cents each for 5 oranges so .4 X 5 which is 2. And once again one orange is .40 cents so you multiply that by 5 to see the price of 5 oranges

Now you add the 1.8 to 2 and get 3.8

Now for the equation you just need to plug in what you did so...

(0.3 X 6) + (0.40 X 5) = 3.8

Glad i could help :)
