Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $A = (-3,8)$ and $B = (-5,4)$. The midpoint of $\overline{AB}$ is $\left( \frac{(-3) + (-5)}{2}, \frac{8 + 4}{2} \right) = (-4,6)$.

The slope of $\overline{AB}$ is $\frac{8 - 4}{(-3) - (-5)} = 2$, so the slope of the perpendicular bisector of $\overline{AB}$ is $-\frac{1}{2}$. Therefore, the equation of the perpendicular bisector is given by

\[y - 6 = -\frac{1}{2} (x + 4).\]Isolating $y,$ we find

\[y = -\frac{1}{2} x + 4.\]Therefore, $m+b = -\frac{1}{2} + 4 = \boxed{\frac{7}{2}}.$

Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that since Ax + By = 3 passes through (-7, 2), then if we plug -7 in for x and 2 in for y, the equation is satisfied. So, let's do that:

Ax + By = 3

A * (-7) + B * 2 = 3

-7A + 2B = 3

We also know that this line is parallel to x + 3y = -5, which means their slopes are the same. Let's solve for y in the second equation:

x + 3y = -5

3y = -x - 5

y = (-1/3)x - (5/3)

So, the slope of this line is -1/3, which means the slope of Ax + By = 3 is also -1/3. Let's solve for y in the first equation:

Ax + By = 3

By = -Ax + 3

y = (-A/B)x + 3/B

This means that -A/B = -1/3. So, we have a relationship between A and B:

-A/B = -1/3

A/B = 1/3

B = 3A

Plug 3A in for B into the equation we had where -7A + 2B = 3:

-7A + 2B = 3

-7A + 2 * 3A = 3

-7A + 6A = 3

-A = 3

A = -3

Use this to solve for B:

B = 3A

B = 3 * (-3) = -9

So, B = -9 and A = -3. Then B - A is:

B - A = -9 - (-3) = -9 + 3 = -6

The answer is -6.

A system has two failure modes. One failure mode, due to external conditions, has a constant failure rate of 0.07 failures per y
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

0.9177

Step-by-step explanation:

let us first represent the two failure modes with respect to time as follows

R₁(t) for external conditions

R₂(t) for wear out condition ( Wiebull )

Now,

R1(t) = e^{-nt} .....1

where t = time in years = 1,

n = failure rate constant = 0.07

Also,

R2(t)=e^{-(\frac{t}{Q} )^{B} }......2

where t = time in years = 1

where Q = characteristic life in years = 10

and B = the shape parameter = 1.8

Substituting values into equation 1

R1(t) = e^{-(0.07)(1)} \\\\R1(t) = e^{-0.07}

Substituting values into equation 2

R2(t)=e^{-(\frac{1}{10} )^{1.8} }\\\\R2(t)=e^{-(0.1)}^{1.8} }\\\\R2(t)=e^{-0.0158}

let the <em>system reliability </em>for a design life of one year be Rs(t)

hence,

Rs(t) = R1(t) * R2(t)

t = 1

Rs(1) = [e^{-0.07} ] * [e^{-0.0158} ] = 0.917713

Rs(1) = 0.9177 (approx to four decimal places)

A rectangle is 12 feet long and 5 feet wide. If the length of the rectangle is increased by 25% and the width is decreased by 20
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

no change in area

Step-by-step explanation:

The original area is

A = 12*5 = 60 ft^2

The new length and width

l = 12 + .25 (12) = 12+3 =15

w = 5 - .2 (5) =5-1 = 4

The new area is

A = l*w =15*4 = 60 ft^2

The area is the same
