200 students in a high school senior class are surveyed about what majors they intend to declare in college. Of the 200 students

, 80 plan to major in mathematics, 100 plan to major in computer science, and 30 plan to pursue a double major in mathematics and computer science. Using this information, answer each of the following questions. Let M be the event that a randomly selected student plans to major in mathematics and C be the event that a randomly selected student plans to major in computer science. What is P(M), left parenthesis, M, right parenthesis, the probability that a student plans to major in mathematics?

Answer:

$y=3x-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line with the slope $m$ and passing through the point $(x_0,y_0)$ is

$y-y_0=m(x-x_0)$

In your case,

$m=3\\ \\x_0=3\\ \\y_0=6$

Hence, the equation of the line is

$y-6=3(x-3)\\ \\y-6=3x-9\\ \\y=3x-9+6\\ \\y=3x-3$

Y=-7X-14<br> 1. What is the y-intercept of the graph of the given function? How do you know?

34kurt

Answer:

(0, -14)

Step-by-step explanation:

The y intercept of the graph of the function is at (0, -14)

In the equation y = mx + b, the constant b is the y value of the y intercept. In this equation, b is equal to -14, so this means the y intercept is at (0, -14).

We can also find the y intercept by setting x equal to 0, then solving for y.

Substitute 0 for x:

y = -7x - 14

y = -7(0) - 14

y = 0 - 14

y = -14

So, the y intercept is at (0, -14)

Analysis of an accident scene indicates a car was traveling at a velocity of 69.5 mph (31.1 m/s) along the positive x-axis at th

STatiana [176]

We can find the acceleration via

${v_f}^2-{v_i}^2=2a\Delta x$

We have

$\left(5.20\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2-\left(31.1\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2=2a(115\,\mathrm m)$

$\implies\boxed{a=-4.09\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}}$

Then by definition of average acceleration,

$a_{\rm ave}=\dfrac{v_f-v_i}t$

so that

$-4.09\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}=\dfrac{5.20\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}-31.1\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}}t$

$\implies\boxed{t=6.33\,\mathrm s}$

We alternatively could have found the time without knowing the acceleration. Since acceleration is constant, the average velocity is

$v_{\rm ave}=\dfrac{x_f-x_i}t=\dfrac{v_f+v_i}2$

Then

$\dfrac{115\,\rm m}t=\dfrac{5.20\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}+31.1\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}}2$

$\implies\boxed{t=6.33\,\mathrm s}$

How to do this question plz

enyata [817]

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem. The sum of the square of the sides is the square of the hypotenuse.

x² +(√200)² = (√300)²

x² = 300 -200

x = √100 = 10

The length of the unknown side is 10 units.
