What is the smallest positive number that can be added to 55 so that the resulting number and 45 have 9 as their greatest common

factor?

Answer:

The smallest positive number is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

let the smallest positive number = x

45 is a multiple of 9 ⇒ 9 x 5 = 45

the next multiple of 9 after 55 is  63

= 9 x 7

= 63

Thus, x + 55 = 63

x = 63 - 55

x = 8

The greatest common factor of 45 and 63 = 9

Therefore, the smallest positive number is 8

How to find equation of line passing through the points (x,y)​
DochEvi [55]

First you must acknowledge that you are dealing with a line therefore you must write linear equation or linear function in this case.

Linear function has a form of,

y=mx+n

Then calculate the slope <em>m</em> using the coordinates of two points. Let say <em>A(x1, y1)</em> and <em>B(x2, y2)</em>,

m=\dfrac{\Delta{y}}{\Delta{x}}=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Now pick a point either <em>A</em> or <em>B</em> and insert coordinates of either one of them in the linear equation also insert the slope you just calculated, I will pick point <em>A</em>.

y_1=mx_1+n

From here you solve the equation for n,

y_1=mx_1+n\Longrightarrow n=y_1-mx_1

So you have slope <em>m</em> and variable <em>n</em> therefore you can write down the equation of the line,

f(x)=m_{slope}x+n_{variable}

Hope this helps.

irina [24]

Answer:

265 quarters ($66.25)

Step-by-step explanation:

10$ in quarters is 250 quarters.

you subtract the 15 from winning (=235), then add 50 for the jackpot (=285). Subtract another 20 for her final plays (=265).

A frog leaps 24 inches. The highest point in the jump is 6 inches. Assume the frog starts at (0,0). What quadratic function mode
Ivanshal [37]
The path is in the shape of a parabola, the horizontal length is 24, so the middle point is at x=12, the symmetry line is x=12, the highest point (the vertex) is at (12,6)
the equation in vertex form is y=a(x-12)²+6
next, find a by using either one of the two points, the starting point (0,0) or the end point (0,24). obviously (0,0) is easier to calculate:
0=a(0-12)² +6
a=-1/24
so the quadratic equation is y=-\frac{1}{24} (x-12)^2+6

What is your favorite color? A large survey of countries, including the United States, China, Russia, France, Turkey, Kenya, and
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would set up the hypothesis test.

For the null hypothesis,

p = 0.24

For the alternative hypothesis,

p ≠ 0.24

This is a two tailed test

Considering the population proportion, probability of success, p = 0.24

q = probability of failure = 1 - p

q = 1 - 0.24 = 0.76

Considering the sample,

Sample proportion, P = r/n

Where

r = 12

n = 52

P = 12/52 = 0.23

We would determine the test statistic which is the z score

z = (P - p)/√pq/n

z = (0.23 - 0.24)/√(0.24 × 0.76)/52 = - 0.17

Recall, population proportion, P = 0.24

The difference between sample proportion and population proportion(p - P) is 0.24 - 0.23 = 0.01

Since the curve is symmetrical and it is a two tailed test, the p for the left tail is 0.24 - 0.01 = 0.23

the p for the right tail is 0.24 + 0.01 = 0.25

These proportions are lower and higher than the null proportion. Thus, they are evidence in favour of the alternative hypothesis. We will look at the area in both tails. Since it is showing in one tail only, we would double the area

From the normal distribution table, the area below the test z score in the left tail 0.43

We would double this area to include the area in the right tail of z = 0.17 Thus

p = 0.43 × 2 = 0.86

The level of significance is 5%

Since alpha, 0.05 < than the p value, 0.86, then we would fail to reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, at 5% significance level, this information does not imply that the color preference of all college students is different (either way) from that of the general population.
