Answer:

y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets first try to find the slope between the two points. Note, if the slope is 0, then the line would be a horizontal line. If the slope is undefined, then it is a vertical line.

We can use the slope formula to find the slope between the two lines, but notice something. The slope formula is technically just the change in y divided by the change in x. Between the two points, the y-value does not change and the x-value does change. This means that the change in y is 0, but the change in x is not zero. This means that the slope would be 0, resulting in a horizontal line.

Now, we know that the resulting line is horizontal, meaning it will take the form of y = _. Since the y-values for both of the points is 6, it makes sense to say that the equation for the line would be y = 6.

I hope this helps. Happy studying.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the two functions:

$f(x)=\sqrt{x}+12\text{ and } g(x)=2\sqrt{x}$

And we want to find (f-g)(144).

This is the same thing to f(144)-g(144).

So, let’s determine the value of f(144) and g(144) first:

$\begin{aligned} f(144)&=\sqrt{144}+12 \\ &=12+12 \\ &=24\end{aligned}$

And:

$\begin{aligned} g(144)&=2\sqrt{144} \\ &=2(12) \\ &=24 \end{aligned}$

Hence:

$\begin{aligned} (f-g)(144) &= f(144)-g(144) \\ &=24-24 \\ &=0 \end{aligned}$

Our final answer is 0.

Which statement is true about the graph of two lines y=-6 and x=1/6

Gelneren [198K]

The graph of the line y = -6 is a horizontal line which passes through the y axis at -6. On the other hand, the graph of the equation, x = 1/6 is a vertical line that passes through the x-axis at 1/6. The intersection of these lines is at a point that is expressed as (1/6, -6).

How do I get the answer to this math problem n + 7 < -3 what is the formula for the math problem

laiz [17]

If I understand the question, you have to get n alone. in this case, you have to subtract 7 from both sides, resulting in n (is less than) -10

A group of 625 students has a mean age of 15.8 years with a standard deviation of 0.6 years. The ages are normally distributed.

16.2-15.8/0.6=0.6667. Use normalcdf() to find the percentage from -999 to 0.6777 which is 0.7476*625=467
