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 <u>30 kilograms</u> of party mix chips and <u>40 liters of punch</u> for her party, Suzie had <u>20 people at her party</u>, 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
