<h2>Greetings!</h2>

Answer:

y = \frac{1}{2}x + \frac{29}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to rearrange the equation to make it y = mx + c

4x - y = 3

y + 3 = 4x

y = 4x -3

So the slope of the line is 4.

The slope of a line perpendicular to an equation is:

\frac{-1}{gradient}

So the slope of the perpendicular line is:

\frac{-1}{4} = -0.25

Now to find the equation of a line you can use the following equation:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

Where y₁ is the y-coordinate, x₁ is the x-coordinate and m is the gradient. Plug the values in:

y₁ = 6

x₁ = -5

m = \frac{-1}{4}

y - 6 = \frac{-1}{4}(x - - 5)

To get rid of the fraction we need to multiply the whole equation by 4:

4y - 24 = -1(x - - 5)

The two negatives cancel out:

4y - 24 = -1(x + 5)

Multiply the brackets out:

4y - 24 = -x + 5

Now, to rearrange the formula back into y = mx + c

Move the -24 over to the other side making it a +24:

4y = 2x + 5 + 24

4y = 2x + 29

Divide everything by 4:

y = \frac{2}{4}x + \frac{29}{4}

y = \frac{1}{2}x + \frac{29}{4}

One urn contains one blue ball (labeled b1) and three red balls (labeled r1, r2, and r3). a second urn contains two red balls (r
Flura [38]

Answer:

12 possibilities

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first urn, we have 4 balls, and all of them are different, as they have different labels, so the group of two red balls r1 and r2 is different from the group of red balls r2 and r3.

The same thing occurs in the second urn, as all balls have different labels.

The problem is a combination problem (the group r1 and r2 is the same group r2 and r1).

For the first urn, we have a combination of 4 choose 2:

C(4,2) = 4!/2!*2! = 4*3*2/2*2 = 2*3 = 6 possibilities

For the second urn, we also have a combination of 4 choose 2, so 6 possibilities.

In total we have 6 + 6 = 12 possibilities.

The function f(x)=58(1.6)x represents the possible bird population in a park x years from now. Each year, the expected number of
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

  1.6 times   or   60% more than

Step-by-step explanation:

The question seems to be asking about the growth factor in the given exponential function.

<h3>Exponential function</h3>

A generic exponential function will have the form ...

  quantity = (initial value) × (growth factor)^(number of intervals)

Comparing this form to the given formula ...

  f(x) = 58 × 1.6^x

we see the "growth factor" is 1.6. This is the multiplier from one interval (year) to the next.

Each year the expected number of birds is <u><em>1.6 times</em></u> the number the year before.

__

Additional comment

A <em>growth factor</em> is sometimes expressed in terms of a <em>growth rate</em>, usually a percentage.

  growth factor = 1 + growth rate

  1.6 = 1 + 0.60 = 1 + 60%

The growth rate of this bird population is 60% per year. Each year, the population is <u>60% more than</u> the year before.
