Why is isolating the y-variable to graph is important

Mathematics
1 answer:
dusya [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

It is the easiest way to graph an equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolating the y variable is also slope-intercept form.

Slope intercept form is the easiest form to use when graphing.

y = mx + b

m is the slope, b is the y-intercept.

it makes it way easier to graph an equation when it is in slope intercept form.


I hope that helps! =)

1.)Find the height of a rectangular prism if the surface area is 148 cm2, the width is 4 cm and the length is 5 cm.
Contact [7]
1) surface of a rectangular prism=2(length x width)+2(length x height)+2(width x height)

Therefore:
148 cm²=2(5 cm x 4 cm)+2(5 cm x h)+2(4 cm x h)=
148 cm²=40 cm²+10 cm h+8 cm h
18 cm h=148 cm²-40 cm²
18 cm h=108 cm²
h=108 cm² / 18 cm=6 cm.

answer: height=6 cm 

2)
Volume of a rectangular prism= length x width x height 
therefore:
34 cm³=(1.7 cm)(0.5 cm) h
0.85 cm² h=34 cm³
h=34 cm³/0.85 cm²
h=40 cm.

answer: height=40 cm

3)
volume of a cylinder: πr²h
therefore.
118.79 ft³=πr²(5 ft)
r=√(118.79 ft³/5π ft)≈2.75 ft

answer: radius=2.75 ft

4)
 
Surface area of the pyramid with square base=4(A side)+A base
A side=(1/2)(8ft)(12 ft)=48 ft²
A base=(8 ft)(8 ft)=64 ft²

surface area=4(48 ft²)+64 ft²=256 ft²

Answer: the surface area of this pyramid would be 256 ft².

5)
surface of a cone=πrs+πr²
therefore:
radius=diameter/2=6.2 ft/2=3.1 ft
63.3 ft²=π(3.1 ft) s+π(3.1 ft)²
3.1π ft s=33.109 ft²
s=33.109 ft² /3.1π ft
s≈3.4 ft

Answer: the slant height would be 3.4 ft.

6)
volume of a square pyramid=(area of base x heigth)/3
therefore:
area of base=(6 ft)(6 ft)=36 ft²
126.97 ft³=36 ft² h /3
h=126.97 ft³/12 ft²=10.58 ft

answer: the height would be 10.58 ft.

7)
volume of a cone =(base x height)/3
base of a cone=πr²
therefore: 
199.23 cm³=πr²(9 cm)/3
r=√(199.23 cm³ / 3π cm)≈4.6 cm

answer: the radius would be 4.6 cm.

Suppose that 80 percent of all statisticians are shy, whereas only 15 percent of all economists are shy. Suppose also that 90 pe
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

37.21% probability that the person is a statistician.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

An 80% probability that a statistican is shy.

A 15% probability that an economist is shy.

At the gathering, a 90% probability that a person is an economist.

At the gathering, a 10% probability that a person is a statistican.

If you meet a shy person at random at the gathering. What is the probability that the person is a statistician?

This can be formulated as the following question:

What is the probability of B happening, knowing that A has happened.

It can be calculated by the following formula

P = \frac{P(B).P(A/B)}{P(A)}

Where P(B) is the probability of B happening, P(A/B) is the probability of A happening knowing that B happened and P(A) is the probability of A happening.

So

What is the probability that the person is a statistican, given that he is shy?

P(B) is the probability of the person being a statistican. So P(B) = 0.1.

P(A/B) is the probability of a statistican being shy, so P(A/B) = 0.8.

P(A) is the probability of a person being a shy. This is 15% of 90%(economists) and 80% of 10%(statisticans). So

P(A) = 0.15*0.9 + 0.8*0.1 = 0.215

Finally

P = \frac{P(B).P(A/B)}{P(A)}

P = \frac{0.1*0.8}{0.215} = 0.3721

37.21% probability that the person is a statistician.

The graph of a quadratic function contains (4,-64) and it's vertex is at the origin.write an equation for this function.
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Not sure what form you need this in, but it really doesn't matter, as you'll see in the final equation.  I used the vertex form and solved for a:

y=a(x-h)^2+k

We are given the vertex (h, k) as the origin (0, 0), and we have a point that the graph goes through as (4, -64).  That's our x and y.  Plugging in what we have:

-64=a(4-0)^2+0 gives us

-64 = 16a and

a = -4.  That means that the quadratic equation is

y=-4x^2  which is both vertex form and standard form here, no difference.
