Answer:

Hewo! :3

A nice trick i use for word problems is that i highlight the numbers and what they are, like: liters, kilograms, grams, etc. say this is your word probem:

Suzie made 30 kilograms of party mix chips and 40 liters of punch for her party, Suzie had 20 people at her party, how much punch and party mix chips will there be when the party is over?

I highlighted what i would have highlighted if it was a real word problem.

Good luck! Hope my trick works for you too!

A report by the US Geological Survey indicates that glaciers in Glacier National Park, Montana, are shrinking. Recent estimates

postnew [5]

Answer

a) C

b) B

c) C, E

d) 15.5

e) 0.7

f) 67.7

Step-by-step explanation

a) A linear equation can be written as $y=mx+c$ where $m$ is the slope and $c$ is the intercept on the $y$ -axis. The slope describes how $y$ changes when $x$ changes. A negative value means the it is a decreasing change. In our case, $y$ is $A$ and $x$ is $t$ . Thus, the slope of the equation is $m=-0.062$ . This means that the area of glacier is decreasing by $0.062 \text{km}{}^2 = 62000 \text{m}{}^2$ every year since 2000.

b) The $A$ -intercept (= 16.2 $\text{km}{}^2$ ) represents the area covered when $t=0$ . But $t=0$ starting from year 2000. This intercept then represents the area covered by glacier in the year 2000. Therefore, the area covered by glacier in 2000 was 16.2 $\text{km}{}^2$ .

c) $A=f(t)$ means the area covered after year 2000. Setting it to 12 means the area covered after $t$ years is 12 $\text{km}{}^2$ ). $t$ is therefore the number of years since 2000 that the total area covered will be 12 $\text{km}{}^2$ ).

d) $f(12)=16.2−0.062\times12 =16.2-0.744 = =15.456 15.5 \text{km}{}^2$ to 1 decimal place.

e) The term involving $t$ represents the disappearing area. In 12 years, the disappeared area is $0.062\times12=0.744 =0.7 \text{km}{}^2$ to 1 decimal place.

f) $f(t)=16.2−0.062t =12$

$0.062t = 16.2-12 = 4.2$

$t = \dfrac{4.2}{0.062}=67.7419\ldots =67.7$ years to 1 decimal place.

What is the equation of the line passing through the points (3,6) and (2,10)

andrezito [222]

Answer: y= - 4x+18

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: y=mx+b

***remember: b is the y-intercept and m is the slope.

m= $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

3= x1

2= x2

6= y1

10=y2

m= $\frac{10-6}{2-3}$ = $\frac{4}{1}$ = -4

m=-4

Now we have y=-4x+b , so let's find b.

You can use either (x,y) such as (3,6) or (2,10) point you want..the answer will be the same:

(3,6). y=mx+b or 6=-4 × 3+b, or solving for b: b=6-(-4)(3). b=18.

(2,10). y=mx+b or 10=-4 × 2+b, or solving for b: b=10-(-4)(2). b=18.

Equation of the line: y=-4x+18

Is there any systematic tendency for part-time college faculty to hold their students to different standards than do full-time f

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

H0 : μ1 - μ2 = 0

H1 : μ1 - μ2 ≠ 0

-1. 34

0.1837

Step-by-step explanation:

Full time :

n1 = 125

x1 = 2.7386

s1 = 0.65342

Part time :

n2 = 88

x2 = 2.8439

s2 = 0.49241

H0 : μ1 - μ2 = 0

H1 : μ1 - μ2 ≠ 0

Test statistic :

The test statistic :

(x1 - x2) / sqrt[(s1²/n1 + s2²/n2)]

(2.7386 - 2.8439) / sqrt[(0.65342²/125 + 0.49241²/88)]

−0.1053 / sqrt(0.0034156615712 + 0.0027553)

-0.1053 /0.0785554

= - 1.34

Test statistic = - 1.34

The Pvalue :

Using df = smaller n - 1 = 88 - 1 = 87

Pvalue from test statistic score ;

Pvalue = 0.1837

Pvalue > α ; We fail to reject the null and conclude that the GPA does not differ.

At α = 0.01 ; the result is insignificant

Help please need answer asap

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

f(x) = x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

first let's find b, the y-intercept

based on the graph, the y-intercept is (0,-3), so b = -3

immediately, we can eliminate f(x) = 3 - x and f(x) = -3x

comment any questions pls
