Answer:
Linear Function
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x----> the time in hours
y----> the total inches of snow on the ground
we know that
The function that best model this situation is the linear function
so
In this problem
----> the y-intercept
substitute
Answer:
hello good morning.have a nice day
PART A:
The generic equation of the line is:
y-yo = m (x-xo)
First we look for the slope of the line:
m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
m = ((5000) - (6000)) / (4-3)
m = -1000
Then, we substitute any point in the generic equation:
(xo, yo) = (4, 5000)
Substituting:
y-5000 = (- 1000) (x-4)
Rewriting:
y = -1000x + 4000 + 5000
y = -1000x + 9000
The equation is:
y = -1000x + 9000
PART B:
For the price of 3.50 we have:
y = -1000 * (3.5) +9000
y = 5500
Join the centre O to the chord (let it be MN) & let OH be the perpendicular to the chord
OH bisects MN into 2 equal parts (each one is x/2)
OMH is a right triangle with one side =8, the second leg =x/2 & the hypotenuse = 12 (Radius)
Apply Pythagoras:
12² = 8² +(x/2)² ==>144=64 + x²/4 ==> x²=4(144-64) =320
x²=320==> x=√320 =17.88 ≈17.9
This can be solved by using the binomial distribution. The probability of guessing correctly is 0.5, and the probability of making a wrong guess is also 0.5.
