Answer:
a. y = -1/2x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct answer choice can be determined by finding the slope of the line. The slope is the ratio of rise to run.
__
<h3>slope</h3>
The x-intercept is 4 units left of the y-axis. As the line "runs" those 4 units, it "rises" -2 units to intercept the y-axis at -2. The slope of the line is ...
m = rise/run = -2/4 = -1/2
In the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line, the slope is the coefficient of x. This information is sufficient to let us choose the first answer choice.
__
<h3>equation</h3>
The slope-intercept equation is ...
y = mx +b . . . . . . . slope m, y-intercept b
We know the slope is -1/2, and the y-intercept is where x=0, at y=-2. Then the equation is ...
y = -1/2x -2 . . . . . matches choice A

<em>Additional comment</em>
When answering multiple-choice questions, you only need to do enough work to tell which answers are <em>not</em> viable.
When we plot the points, we see that the line has negative slope. (eliminates choice C). The slope is shallow, rather than steep (the x-intercept is farther from the origin than the y-intercept), so the magnitude of the slope is less than 1 and choices B and D are eliminated.
Answer:
B and D
B: the eagles have more variability in the ages of their players.
D: The Eagles have more players.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
2998 ; 17%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the function:
t(c)=-3970.9(ln c)
c = % of carbon remaining ; t = time
1.) c = 47% = 47/100 = 0.47
t(0.47) = - 3970.9(In 0.47)
t = - 3970.9 * −0.755022
t = 2998.119
t = 2998
B.)
t = 7000
t(c)=-3970.9(ln c)
7000 = - 3970.9(In c)
7000 / - 3970.9 = In c
−1.762824 = In c
c = exp(−1.762824)
c = 0.1715596
c = 0.1715596 * 100%
c = 17.156% ; c = 17%

The local minimum of function is an argument x for which the first derivative of function g(x) is equal to zero, so:
g'(x)=0
g'(x)=(x^4-5x^2+4)'=4x^3-10x=0
x(4x^2-10)=0
x=0 or 4x^2-10=0
4x^2-10=0 /4
x^2-10/4=0
x^2-5/2=0
[x-sqrt(5/2)][x+sqrt(5/2)]=0
Now we have to check wchich argument gives the minimum value from x=0, x=sqrt(5/2) and x=-sqrt(5/2).
g(0)=4
g(sqrt(5/2))=25/4-5*5/2+4=4-25/4=-9/4
g(-sqrt(5/2))=-9/4
The answer is sqrt(5/2) and -sqrt(5/2).
