Area is the length times the width.

When you know the area and one of the dimensions, divide the area by the known dimension to find the other one.

133 / 11 = 12.09

The room needs to be at least 12.09 feet wide. ( round answer if needed).

Write the slip-intercept form of the equation of the line described

kompoz [17]

Answer:

1) y=⅚x -2⅓

2) y=8/3x -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Point-slope form:

y=mx+c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

Parallel lines have the same gradient.

Gradient of given line= $\frac{5}{6}$

Thus, m=⅚

Susbt. m=⅚ into the equation,

y= ⅚x +c

Since the line passes through the point (4, 1), (4, 1) must satisfy the equation. Thus, substitute (4, 1) into the equation to find c.

When x=4, y=1,

1= ⅚(4) +c

$1 = \frac{20}{6} + c \\ c = 1 - \frac{20}{6} \\ c = 1 - 3 \frac{1}{3} \\ c = - 2 \frac{1}{3}$

Thus the equation of the line is $y = \frac{5}{6} x - 2 \frac{1}{3}$ .

The gradients of perpendicular lines= -1.

Gradient of given line= -⅜

-⅜(gradient of line)= -1

gradient of line

= -1 ÷ (-⅜)

= -1 ×(-8/3)

= $\frac{8}{3}$

$y = \frac{8}{3} x + c$

When x=3, y=3,

$3 = \frac{8}{3} (3) + c \\ 3 = 8 + c \\ c = 3 - 8 \\ c = - 5$

Thus the equation of the line is $y = \frac{8}{3} x - 5$ .

Answer:

A sample of 997 is needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

The margin of error is of:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

A previous study indicates that the proportion of left-handed golfers is 8%.

This means that $\pi = 0.08$

98% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.02$ , z is the value of Z that has a p-value of $1 - \frac{0.02}{2} = 0.99$ , so $Z = 2.327$ .

How large a sample is needed in order to be 98% confident that the sample proportion will not differ from the true proportion by more than 2%?

This is n for which M = 0.02. So

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

$0.02 = 2.327\sqrt{\frac{0.08*0.92}{n}}$

$0.02\sqrt{n} = 2.327\sqrt{0.08*0.92}$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.327\sqrt{0.08*0.92}}{0.02}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{2.327\sqrt{0.08*0.92}}{0.02})^2$

$n = 996.3$

Rounding up:

A sample of 997 is needed.

How do you simplify this? x²y+xy² / y²+2/5 × xy

polet [3.4K]

$\huge \boxed{\mathbb{QUESTION} \downarrow}$

How do you simplify this?
x²y+xy² / y²+2/5 × xy

$\large \boxed{\mathbb{ANSWER\: WITH\: EXPLANATION} \downarrow}$

$\sf\frac{ { x }^{ 2 } y+x { y }^{ 2 } }{ { y }^{ 2 } + \frac{ 2 }{ 5 } \times xy } \\$

Factor the expressions that are not already factored.

_____

How to factorise :-

NUMERATOR $\downarrow$

$\sf \: x ^ { 2 } y + x y ^ { 2 }$

Factor out xy.

$\sf \: xy\left(x+y\right)$

DENOMINATOR $\downarrow$

$\sf{ y }^{ 2 } + \frac{ 2 }{ 5 } \times xy \\$

Factor out 1/5.

$\sf \: {\frac{1}{5}y\left(2x+5y\right)} \\$

_____

Continuing...

$\sf\frac{xy\left(x+y\right)}{\frac{1}{5}y\left(2x+5y\right)} \\$

Cancel out y in both the numerator and denominator.

$\sf\frac{x\left(x+y\right)}{\frac{1}{5}\left(2x+5y\right)} \\$

Expand the expression.

$\sf\frac{x^{2}+xy}{\frac{2}{5}x+y} \\$

This can further simplified to as $\downarrow$

$= \boxed{\boxed{\bf\frac{5x\left(x +y\right)}{2x+5y}}}$
