For a better understanding of the explanation provided here, please find the diagrams in the two files that have been attached.

As can be clearly seen from the diagram, PR and QS are the diameters of the circle and they intersect each other at the centre, O of the circle.

The angle these diameters make at the point of intersection O is 90 degrees.

If Margot joins the points P,Q,R and S which are on the circumference of the circle, then we will get a square with sides PQ, QR, RS and SP as shown in the second diagram.

Thus, the correct option is Option A.

Write the equation of the line in fully simplified slope-intercept form. y intercept = -2 (GIVE EXPLANATION)

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

See Below:

Step-by-step explanation:

So, first of all. to find the equation of the line, the equation has to be in $y=mx+b$ form. In this for the following are:

$m$ is the slope of the line
$b$ is the y intercept

Solving

So, first of all, to find the equation of the line, we can get two points from the line, you can pick any points you want, but for this case, I will be using (0,-2) and (-2,0).

To solve for the slope, we can use rise over run to find the equation.

$\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Upon inserting our points into the equation, we get a slope of -1.

$\frac{0-(-2)}{-2-0}=\frac{2}{-2}=-1$

Creating The Equation

To create the equation in $y=mx+b$ form, we need to know what the intercept and the slope are, for which we solved above. We can now put in the things we found to get our final equation.

$y=-1x-2$

We know the slope has to be -1 as we solved for that, and because the line is decending downwards, we can interpret the slope as down 1 right 1.

We know that b is -2 because the y intercept is -2 and b is equal to the y intercept. Therefore the b cation is -2.

Cheers!

Write a formula for fogoh, where f(x) = x + 1, g(x) = - 3x, and h(x) = 5 - X. (fogoh)(x) =

Marina86 [1]

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x + 1

g(x) = -3x

h(x) = 5-x

find fogoh

first we find fog

f(g(x)) = -3x + 1

then we find fogoh = -3(5-x ) +1

= -15 + 3x +1

= 3x -14

During the 7th examination of the Offspring cohort in the Framingham Heart Study, there were 1219 participants being treated for

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

95% confidence interval for the proportion of the population which are on treatment is [0.3293 , 0.3607].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that during the 7th examination of the Offspring cohort in the Framing ham Heart Study, there were 1219 participants being treated for hypertension and 2,313 who were not on treatment.

The sample proportion is : $\hat p$ = x/n = 1219/3532 = 0.345

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 95% confidence interval for the proportion of the population is given by;

P.Q. = $\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\hat p$ = sample proportion = 0.345

n = sample of participants = 3532

p = population proportion

Here for constructing 95% confidence interval we have used One-sample z proportion statistics.

So, 95% confidence interval for the population proportion, p is ;

P(-1.96 < N(0,1) < 1.96) = 0.95 {As the critical value of z at 2.5% level of

significance are -1.96 & 1.96}

P(-1.96 < $\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < 1.96) = 0.95

P( $-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < ${\hat p-p}$ < $1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ) = 0.95

P( $\hat p-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < p < $\hat p+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ) = 0.95

95% confidence interval for p= [ $\hat p-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ , $\hat p+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ]

= [ $0.345-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.345(1-0.345)}{3532} } }$ , $0.345+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.345(1-0.345)}{3532} } }$ ]

= [0.3293 , 0.3607]

Hence, 95% confidence interval for the proportion of the population which are on treatment is [0.3293 , 0.3607].

3x-1=5x+10. and the X= -5 1/2

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The answer is 1 or infinite solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

When you plug in the value of -5.5 into the equation, you will eventually end up with -17.5=-17.5, making the answer infinite or 1.

Find the sum of the following series. Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary,

Aneli [31]

Answer:

$sum = \frac{a( {r}^{n - 1} )}{r - 1} \\ : but \: l = a( {r}^{n - 1} ) \\ 49152 = 3( {2}^{n - 1} ) \\ 16384 = {2}^{n - 1} \\ {2}^{n} = 32768 \\ {2}^{n} = {2}^{15} \\ n = 15 \\ \therefore \: sum = \frac{3(2 {}^{15 - 1}) }{15 - 1} \\ = \frac{49152}{14} \\ = 3510.9$
