Alright! When you have a constant to a power times another constant to a power (ex. [x^3 times x^3] ) you simply add the powers and keep the base [x^6]. When you have a power to a power (ex. [(12^3)^3] ) you multiply the powers and keep the base [12^9]. When you have a constant to a power divided by a constant to a power (ex. [ x^2 divided by x^5] ) you subtract the powers and keep the base. It's hard to see the questions, so I'll leave this here for you to use as a guide.

Which equation describes the line that passes through the points (-4, 19) and (2, -1)

dangina [55]

Answer:

y=-5/2x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

find the slope by using y2-y1/x2-x1

-1-19/2-(-4)

simplify

-20/8

simplify

-5/2

use slope-intercept form, y=mx+b

since we know the slope, find b

plug in one of the ordered pairs into the equation

-1=(-5/2)(2)+b

simplify

-1= -10/2+b

simplify

-1=-5+b

add 5 to both sides

b=4

plug b into y=-5/2x+b

y=-5/2x+4

The National Center for Education Statistics reported that 47% of college students work to pay for tuition and living expenses.

Luden [163]

Using the z-distribution, it is found that the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of college students who work to pay for tuition and living expenses is: (0.4239, 0.5161).

If we had increased the confidence level, the margin of error also would have increased.

<h3>What is a confidence interval of proportions?</h3>

A confidence interval of proportions is given by:

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which:

$\pi$ is the sample proportion.

z is the critical value.

n is the sample size.

In this problem, we have a 95% confidence level, hence $\alpha = 0.95$ , z is the value of Z that has a p-value of $\frac{1+0.95}{2} = 0.975$ , so the critical value is z = 1.96. Increasing the confidence level, z also increases, hence the margin of error also would have increased.

The sample size and the estimate are given as follows:

$n = 450, \pi = 0.47$ .

The lower and the upper bound of the interval are given, respectively, by:

$\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.47 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.47(0.53)}{450}} = 0.4239$

$\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.47 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.47(0.53)}{450}} = 0.5161$

The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of college students who work to pay for tuition and living expenses is: (0.4239, 0.5161).

Enter the enter the first four terms of the sequence defined by the given rule assume that the domain of each function is the se

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

{1, -9, 56, -269}

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate the rule for n=2, 3, and 4 in sequence.

For n=2

f(2) = (-5)f(1) +11 = (-5)(4) +11 = -9

f(3) = (-5)f(2) +11 = (-5)(-9) +11 = 56

f(4) = (-5)f(3) +11 = (-5)(56) +11 = -269

The first four terms of the sequence are {1, -9, 56, -269}.

A triangle has two sides of length 18 and 4. What is the smallest possible whole-number length for the third side?

Kobotan [32]

<h3>Answer: 15</h3>

==================================================

Explanation:

Let a = 4 and b = 18 be the two known sides of the triangle.

Let c be the remaining side

We'll use a version of the triangle inequality theorem to set up the possible range of values for c.

The range of values for c is determined by the following

b-a < c < b+a

18-4 < c < 18+4

14 < c < 22

Telling us that the third side c is between 14 and 22, excluding both endpoints. This means c = 14 and c = 22 are not allowed. If either value were to happen, then the triangle becomes a single line instead. Try it out with slips of paper.

Because c = 14 is not allowed, we must go to the next whole number up. Therefore, c = 15 is the smallest possible length for the third side, when the third side is a whole number.

If the third side wasn't a whole number, then we could have something like c = 14.1 or c = 14.01 or c = 14.001 or c = 14.0001, and so on. We could steadily get closer and closer to 14, but never actually arrive to it. In short, there is no "smallest third side". This is likely why your teacher is focusing on the whole numbers so there is a smallest value of c possible.

Extra info: As you can probably guess, the largest side possible is c = 21, which is one less than 22. Like above, this is only possible if c is a whole number.
