Answer: y = - 4x + 2

Explanation:

The graph shows a linear function, which is a first degree polynomial, whose form is ax + b.

The rule or fucntion is f(x) = y = ax + b. This form is called the slope-intercept form, because the coefficient a is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.

The graph permits you to calculate both parameters.

1) The slope, a is defined in this way:

a = rise / run = [change in y] / [change in x] = [y₂ -y₁] / [x₂ - x₁]

you can use the points (0, - 2) and (-1,2):

⇒ a = [ 2 - (-2) ] / [ -1 - 0 ] = 4 / (-1) = - 4

2) b, the y-intercept, is the value of the function, y, when x = 0. In the graph you can see that this is - 2. b = - 2.

3) Substituting the values of a and b in the form y = ax + b, you the rule:

y = - 4x - 2

X2-7x-18÷x2+8x+12 what is it in lowest terms

Eddi Din [679]

$\dfrac{x^2-7x-18}{x^2+8x+12}=\dfrac{x^2+2x-9x-18}{x^2+6x+2x+12}=\dfrac{x(x+2)-9(x+2)}{x(x+6)+2(x+6)}\\\\=\dfrac{(x+2)(x-9)}{(x+6)(x+2)}=\dfrac{x-9}{x+6}$

Before a new video game is released, it is tested by a number of volunteer gamers. During testing, the experimental probability

sesenic [268]

Answer:

2000 players will complete the game with a perfect score.

Step-by-step explanation:

The testing phase tells us that $\frac{1}{500}$ is the probability that a person will finish with a perfect score.

This means 1 out of 500 people will be able to finish with perfect score.

Now,

the game is given to 1,000,000 (1 million) people and how much do we expect to finish with perfect score?? Simple! It would be $\frac{1}{500}$ the of 1 million!

We do the calculation shown below:

$\frac{1}{500}*1,000,000=2000$

So, 2000 players will complete the game with a perfect score.

A researcher selects all of the possible samples with n = 8 scores from a population and computes the mean, dividing by n, for e

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

By the Central Limit Theorem, the average value for all of the sample means is 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the central limit theorem to solve this question.

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sample means of size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation, which is also called standard error $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

If the population mean is μ = 14, then what is the average value for all of the sample means?

By the Central Limit Theorem, the average value for all of the sample means is 14.
