The slope of the line connecting two points (<em>a</em>, <em>b</em>) and (<em>c</em>, <em>d</em>) is
(<em>d</em> - <em>b</em>) / (<em>c</em> - <em>a</em>)
i.e. the change in the <em>y</em>-coordinate divided by the change in the <em>x</em>-coordinate. For a function <em>y</em> = <em>f(x)</em>, this slope is the slope of the secant line connecting the two points (<em>a</em>, <em>f(a)</em> ) and (<em>c</em>, <em>f(c)</em> ), and has a value of
(<em>f(c)</em> - <em>f(a)</em> ) / (<em>c</em> - <em>a</em>)
Here, we have
<em>f(x)</em> = <em>x</em> ²
so that
<em>f</em> (1) = 1² = 1
<em>f</em> (1.01) = 1.01² = 1.0201
Then the slope of the secant line is
(1.0201 - 1) / (1.01 - 1) = 0.0201 / 0.01 = 2.01
Answer:
B
Explanation: dont got one
I think your answer would be A?
Using the t-distribution, it is found that the p-value of the test is 0.007.
At the null hypothesis, it is <u>tested if the mean lifetime is not greater than 220,000 miles</u>, that is:

At the alternative hypothesis, it is <u>tested if the mean lifetime is greater than 220,000 miles</u>, that is:
.
We have the <u>standard deviation for the sample</u>, thus, the t-distribution is used. The test statistic is given by:
The parameters are:
is the sample mean.
is the value tested at the null hypothesis.
- s is the standard deviation of the sample.
- n is the sample size.
For this problem:

Then, the value of the test statistic is:



We have a right-tailed test(test if the mean is greater than a value), with <u>t = 2.69</u> and 23 - 1 = <u>22 df.</u>
Using a t-distribution calculator, the p-value of the test is of 0.007.

<h2><u>Simplification</u></h2>
<h3>Expand and simplify: (-7y - 8) (y - 4)</h3>
To expand an expression, use FOIL method.
<h3><u>F - First</u></h3>
- Multiply the first term in each expression inside the parentheses.
<u>-7y</u> and <u>y</u> are the first terms in <u>each expression</u>.
<u>(-7y)(y) = -7y²</u>
<h3><u>O - Outside </u></h3>
- Next is to multiply the terms outside. (The first term in the first expression and the last term in the second expression)
<u>-7y</u> is the first term in the <u>first expression</u>
<u>-4</u> is the last term of the <u>second expression</u>
<u>(-7y)(-4) = 28y</u>
<h3><u>I - Inside</u></h3>
- The next step is to multiply the terms inside. (The last term in the first expression and the first term in the last expression)
<u>-8</u> is the last term in the <u>first expression</u>
<u>y</u> is the first term in the <u>second expression</u>
<u>(-8)(y) = -8y</u>
<h3><u>L - Last</u></h3>
- Last step is to multiply the last term in each expression.
<u>-8</u> is the last term of the <u>first expression</u>
<u>-4</u> is the last term of the <u>second expression</u>
<u>(-8)(-4) = 32</u>
Combine all simplified terms.
- -7y² + 28y - 8y + 32
- -7y + 20y + 32
<u>Answer:</u>
