To solve this, we need to understand Slope Intercept Form (SIF), as well as how to graph a line.

SIF is the standard equation of lines on graphs. It is "y=mx+b" where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept is the value of y when x is 0.

To find the y-intercept (which we will need to form the equation), we should simply graph the line. This will let us visualize the y-intercept, and overall make it easier to understand.

To graph a line, we should start with the point we have (that being (3, 3)) and follow the slope with rise/run. This means in this case, we will go right 2 for every 1 up, or 2 left for every 1 down.

Below I have attached a graph to help you see how to graph this, which we will get our equation from. The highlighted area is our y-intercept. The red circle shows our original point (3,3), and the blue dots show our slope.

Using the graph, we can see the equation for this line is y=1/2x+1.5.

Find the x- and y- intercepts of parabola y=5x^2-16x+10

____ [38]

Y-INTERCEPT

$y = 5x^2 - 16x + 10$

The y-intercept is where the equation/curve/parabola cosses the y-axis.

The y-axis is where x = 0. (The x-axis is where y = 0)

To find the y-intercept:

$\text{y-axis} \rightarrow \text{x = 0} \rightarrow y = 5(0)^2 -16(0) + 10 = 10$

The y-intercept must be at (0, 10)

X-INTERCEPT (ROOTS/SOLUTIONS)

$y = 5x^2 - 16x + 10\\\text{make it equal 0}\\y = 0\\\therefore 5x^2 - 16x + 10 = 0$

We need to use the quadratic formula

The quadratic formula helps us find what values of $x$ make the equation = 0

Quadratic formula: $x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$x=\frac{-(-16) + \sqrt{(-16)^2-4(5)(10)}}{2(5)}\\\\x = \frac{16 + \sqrt{256-200}}{10}\\x = \frac{16 + \sqrt{56}}{10}\\x = \frac{16 + 2\sqrt{14}}{10}\\x = \frac{8 + \sqrt{14}}{5}\\\\\\x=\frac{-(-16) - \sqrt{(-16)^2-4(5)(10)}}{2(5)}\\\text{doing the same thing...}\\\text{end up with...}\\x = \frac{8 - \sqrt{14}}{5}\\$

The x-intercepts are at:

$(\frac{8 + \sqrt{14}}{5}, 0)\\(\frac{8 - \sqrt{14}}{5}, 0)$

Bottles of mango juice are assumed to contain 275 milliliters of juice. There is some variation from bottle to bottle because th

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean of the set of data given is

Mean = (275.4 + 276.8 + 273.9 + 275.0 + 275.8 + 275.9 + 276.1)/7 = 275.56

Standard deviation = √(summation(x - mean)^2/n

n = 7

Summation(x - mean)^2 = (275.4 - 275.56)^2 + (276.8 - 275.56)^2 + (273.9 - 275.56)^2 + (275.0 - 275.56)^2 + (275.8 - 275.56)^2 + (275.9 - 275.56)^2 + (276.1 - 275.56)^2 = 5.0972

Standard deviation = √(5.0972/7) = 0.85

We would set up the hypothesis test.

For the null hypothesis,

µ = 275

For the alternative hypothesis,

µ ≠ 275

This is a 2 tailed test.

Since the number of samples is small and no population standard deviation is given, the distribution is a student's t.

Since n = 7

Degrees of freedom, df = n - 1 = 7 - 1 = 6

t = (x - µ)/(s/√n)

Where

x = sample mean = 275.56

µ = population mean = 275

s = samples standard deviation = 0.85

t = (275.56 - 275)/(0.85/√7) = 1.74

We would determine the p value using the t test calculator. It becomes

p = 0.132

Because the p-value of 0.132 is greater than the significance level of 0.05, we would fail to reject the null hypothesis. We conclude the data does not provide convincing evidence that the mean amount of juice in all the bottles filled that day differs from the target value of 275 milliliters.

Find the measure of the missing angles.

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

d = 105° , e = 32° , f = 43°

Step-by-step explanation:

d and 105° are vertically opposite angles and are congruent , then

d = 105°

e and 32° are vertically opposite angles and are congruent , then

e = 32°

105° , e and f lie on a straight line and sum to 180° , that is
