Answer: The correct option is (C) 19.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the value of m so that the data the table to represent a linear function with a rate of change of –8.

We know that

the rate of change for a linear function with two points (a, b) and (c, d) is given by

$R=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}.$

From the table, we note that the points (10, 27) and (11, m) satisfy the given linear function.

So, the rate of change of the linear function will be

$R=\dfrac{m-27}{11-10}\\\\\\\Rightarrow -8=\dfrac{m-27}{1}\\\\\Rightarrow -8=m-27\\\\\Rightarrow m=27-8\\\\\Rightarrow m=19.$

Thus, the required value of m is 19.

Option (C) is CORRECT.

A survey of 391 children given at a local elementary school showed that 150 like chocolate ice cream 125 like pistachio ice crea

Answer: The correct answer is 341 children

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly you solve for the number of children that like both types of ice cream.

Let us assume it to be x

(150 - x )+ x + (125 - x) + 166 = 391

150 + 125 + 166 - x + x - x = 391

441 - x = 391

X = 441 - 391

X = 50

Since 50 children like at least one type of ice cream, subtracting it from the total no. of children will give the number of children that like at most one type

Therefore, 391 - 50 = 341 children

Alternatively,

Sum up children who like only chocolate ice cream + pistachio ice cream only + does who don't like any type of ice cream

= (150 - 50) + (125 - 50) + 166

= 100 + 75 + 166

= 341 children

Answer:

C, 7 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

12 is 2/3 of 18, therefore 5 is 2/3 of something, so you divide 5 by 2/3 which is 15/2 which is 7 1/2

A. Solve the differential equation <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%27%3D2x%20%5Csqrt%7B1-y%5E2%7D%20" id="TexFormula1" title

kirill [66]

$y' = \frac{dy}{dx}$

seperable differential equations will have the form
$\frac{dy}{dx} = F(x) G(y)$

what you do from here is isolate all the y terms on one side and all the X terms on the other
$\frac{dy}{G(y)} = F(x) dx$
just divided G(y) to both sides and multiply dx to both sides

then integrate both sides
$\int \frac{1}{G(y)} dy = \int F(x) dx

$

once you integrate, you will have a constant. use the initial value condition to solve for the constant, then try to isolate x or y if the question asks for it

In your problem,
$G(y) = \sqrt{1-y^2}

F(x) = 2x$

so all you need to integrate is
$\int \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-y^2}} dy = \int 2x dx$

A lightbulb is installed. With probability 1/3 , it burns out immediately when it is first installed. With probability 2/3 , it

Andrej [43]

Answer:

1 time unit

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a 1 in 3 chance that the time until the bulb burns out is zero, and a 2 in 3 chance that the time is the average between 0 and 3 (since it is uniformly distributed). Therefore, the expected value for the time until it burns is:

$E(x) = \frac{1}{3}*0+\frac{2}{3} *\frac{0+3}{2}\\ E(X) = 1$

The expected value of the time until the lightbulb burns out is 1 time unit.
