Answer:

\\ y = 1.8(x) + 32 or \\ y = \frac{9}{5}(x) + 32

or equivalently:

\\ F = 1.8(C) + 32 or \\ F = \frac{9}{5}(C) + 32

Step-by-step explanation:

To express the Fahrenheit temperature <em>as a linear function of the Celsius temperature</em>, F(c), we can proceed as follows.

We can use here <em>the two-point form</em> <em>equation</em> of a line:

\\ y-y_1 = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}(x-x_1) [1]

We are asked to express the <em>Fahrenheit temperature</em> as a function of <em>Celsius temperature</em>, so the independent variable, in this case, is <em>x</em> (Celsius temperature) and the dependent variable is <em>y</em> (Fahrenheit temperature).

When temperature is zero degree Celsius (\\x_1 = 0), the Fahrenheit temperature is 32 (\\y_1 = 32).

When the Celsius temperature is 100 (\\x_2 = 100), the corresponding Fahrenheit temperature is 212 (\\y_2 = 212).

Then, using [1], we have:

\\ y-32 = \frac{212 - 32}{100 - 0}(x-0)

\\ y-32 = \frac{180}{100}(x)

\\ y-32 = 1.8(x).

It could be also be written as:

\\ y-32 = \frac{18}{10}(x) = \\ y-32 = \frac{9}{5}(x), as it commonly appears in books.

Then <em>the Fahrenheit temperature express as a linear function of the Celsius temperature, F(c</em>) is ( solving the equation for <em>y </em>) :

\\ y = 1.8(x) + 32 or \\ y = \frac{9}{5}(x) + 32.

Or equivalently:

\\ F = 1.8(C) + 32 or \\ F = \frac{9}{5}(C) + 32

We can check this using the given values from the question:

For 0 Celsius degrees, the Fahrenheit temperature is:

\\ y = 1.8(0) + 32 = 32 Fahrenheit degrees.

For 100 Celsius degrees, the Fahrenheit temperature is:

\\ y = 1.8(100) + 32 = 180 + 32 = 212 Fahrenheit degrees.

Find the sum of the series and show your process for finding each term leading to the final sum.
Crazy boy [7]

ANSWER

\sum_{k=3}^5( - 2k + 5) =  - 9

EXPLANATION

The given series is

\sum_{k=3}^5( - 2k + 5)

This series is finite.

The expanded form is

\sum_{k=3}^5( - 2k + 5) = ( - 2 \times 3 + 5) + ( - 2 \times 4 + 5) + ( - 2 \times 5 + 5)

This simplifies to

\sum_{k=3}^5( - 2k + 5) = ( - 6 + 5) + ( - 8+ 5) + ( - 10+ 5)

\sum_{k=3}^5( - 2k + 5) = ( - 1) + ( - 3) + ( - 5)

\sum_{k=3}^5( - 2k + 5) =  - 9

From a sample with nequals8​, the mean number of televisions per household is 4 with a standard deviation of 1 television. Using
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

75% of the households have between 2 and 6 televisions

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we can deduce the following;

sample size n= 8

sample mean μ = 4

standard deviation σ = 1

Using Chebychev’s theorem;

P(2 ≤ X ≤ 6) = P(2-4 ≤ (X - μ) ≤ 6-4)

= P(-2 ≤ (X-μ) ≤ 2) = P(|X-μ| ≤ kσ) ≥ (1 - 1/k^2) ≥ (1- 1/2^) = 1- 0.25 = 0.75 ( same as 75%)

Simplify the expression cos x cot x+ sin x please select the best answer from the choices provided a.0, b.csc x, c. Tan x, d sec
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

cot x = \frac{cos x}{sin x}

cos x \frac{cos x}{sin x} + sin x

\frac{cos^2 x}{sin x} +sin x

sin^2 x + cos^2 x =1

Solving for cos^2 x we got cos^2 x =1 -sin^2 x and replacing this we got:

\frac{1-sin^2 x}{sin x} +sin x

\frac{1}{sin x} -\frac{sin^2 x}{sin x} +sin x

csc x -sin x + sin x = csc x

And then the best option for this case would be:

b.csc x

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following expression given:

cos x cot x + sin x

We know from math properties that the definition for cot is cot x = \frac{cos x}{sin x}

If we use this definition we got:

cos x \frac{cos x}{sin x} + sin x

\frac{cos^2 x}{sin x} +sin x

Now we can use the following identity:

sin^2 x + cos^2 x =1

Solving for cos^2 x we got cos^2 x =1 -sin^2 x and replacing this we got:

\frac{1-sin^2 x}{sin x} +sin x

\frac{1}{sin x} -\frac{sin^2 x}{sin x} +sin x

csc x -sin x + sin x = csc x

And then the best option for this case would be:

b.csc x

Which value represents the horizontal translation from the graph of the parent function f(x) = x^2 to the graph of the function
Vsevolod [243]
Translation by h (right) and k (up)
g(x)=f(x-h)+k
=f(x-4)^2+2
so h=4, k=2
horizontal translation (to the right) is h=+4, but is shown as -4 for the translation value.
