The "x-interept" is the point where the graph crosses the x-axis.
From here, it looks like this graph crosses the x-axis where x=2 .
So the point is <em>(2, 0)</em> .
That's choice-<em>A</em> .
Parallel lines will have the same slope
y - y1 = m(x - 1)
slope(m) = 1/4
(5,5)...x1 = 5 and y1 = 5
now we sub
y - 5 = 1/4(x - 5) <==== ur parallel line
==================
perpendiculr lines will have a negative reciprocal slope. To find the negative reciprocal, u flip the number and change the sign. So the negative reciprocal of 1/4 is -4....see how I flipped 1/4 and made it 4/1...then changed the sign making it -4/1 or just -4. That will be ur slope of the perpendicular line.
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = -4
(5,5)...x1 = 5 and y1 = 5
now we sub
y - 5 = -4(x - 5) <=== ur perpendicular line
Problem A
Usually the number of bits in a byte is 8 or 16 or 32 and recently 64. You don't have to write a formula to restrict it to this number of bits. You are not asked to do so. The general formula is 2^n - 1 for the problem of Millie and her golden keys. Somehow the system can be made to choose the right number of bits. Apple IIe s for example, used 8 bits and there was a location that told the processor that fact.
2^n - 1 <<<<< Answer
Problem B
In this case n = 4
2^n - 1 = 2^4 - 1 = 16 - 1 = 15
Millie can collect 15 keys <<<<<< Answer
Number of cartons taken:
ratio of cartons taken : ratio of total cartons
73 : 100
