Write an equation of the perpendicular bisector of the segment with the endpoints (8,10) and ( -4,2).

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

The required equation is:

$y = -\frac{3}{2}x+9$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of a line, the slope and y-intercept is required.

The slope can be found by finding the slope of given line segment. A the perpendicular bisector of a line is perpendicular to the given line, the product of their slopes will be -1 and it will pass through the mid-point of given line segment.

Given points are:

$(x_1,y_1) = (8,10)\\(x_2,y_2) = (-4,2)$

We will find the slope of given line segment first

$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\= \frac{2-10}{-4-8}\\=\frac{-8}{-12}\\=\frac{2}{3}$

Let m_1 be the slope of perpendicular bisector then,

$m.m_1 = -1\\\frac{2}{3}.m_1 = -1\\m_1 = \frac{-3}{2}$

Now the mid-point

$(x,y) = (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} , \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})\\= (\frac{8-4}{2} , \frac{10+2}{2})\\=(\frac{4}{2}, \frac{12}{2})\\=(2,6)$

We have to find equation of a line with slope -3/2 passing through (2,6)

The equation of line in slope-intercept form is given by:

$y = m_1x+b$

Putting the value of slope

$y= -\frac{3}{2}x+b$

Putting the point (2,6) to find the y-intercept

$6 = -\frac{3}{2}(2)+b\\6 = -3+b\\b = 6+3 =9$

The equation is:

$y = -\frac{3}{2}x+9$

AVprozaik [17]

We have been given that Clare made $160 babysitting last summer. She put the money in a savings account that pays 3% interest per year. If Clare doesn't touch the money in her account, she can find the amount she'll have the next year by multiplying her current amount 1.03.

We are asked to write an expression for the amount of money Clare would have after 30 years if she never withdraws money from her account.

We will use exponential growth function to solve our given problem.

An exponential growth function is in form $y=a(1+r)^x$ , where

y = Final value,

a = Initial value,

r = Growth rate in decimal form,

x = Time.

$3\%=\frac{3}{100}=0.03$

We can see that initial value is $160. Upon substituting our given values in above formula, we will get:

$y=160(1+0.03)^x$

$y=160(1.03)^x$

To find amount of money in Clare's account after 30 years, we need to substitute $x=30$ in our equation.

$y=160(1.03)^{30}$

Therefore, the expression $160(1.03)^{30}$ represents the amount of money that Clare would have after 30 years.

Each year, more than 2 million people in the United States become infected with bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics. In p

Bingel [31]

Answer:

A)

Null hypothesis:H₀:- There is no significant difference between in drug resistance between the two states

Alternative Hypothesis :H₁:

There is significant difference between in drug resistance between the two states

B)

The calculated value Z = 2.7261 > 2.054 at 0.02 level of significance

Rejected H₀

There is a significant difference in drug resistance between the two states.

C)

P - value = 0.0066

P - value = 0.0066 < 0.02

D)

1) Reject H₀

There is a significant difference in drug resistance between the two states.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given first sample size n₁ = 174

Suppose that, of 174 cases tested in a certain state, 11 were found to be drug-resistant.

First sample proportion

$p_{1} = \frac{x_{1} }{n_{1} } = \frac{11}{174} = 0.0632$

Given second sample size n₂ = 375

Given data Suppose also that, of 375 cases tested in another state, 7 were found to be drug-resistant

Second sample proportion

$p_{2} = \frac{x_{2} }{n_{2} } = \frac{7}{375} = 0.0186$

Step(ii):-

Null hypothesis:H₀:- There is no significant difference between in drug resistance between the two states

Alternative Hypothesis :H₁:

There is significant difference between in drug resistance between the two states

Test statistic

$Z = \frac{p_{1}-p_{2} }{\sqrt{PQ(\frac{1}{n_{1} }+\frac{1}{n_{2} } ) } }$

Where

$P = \frac{n_{1}p_{1} +n_{2} p_{2} }{n_{1} +n_{2} }$

$P = \frac{174 (0.0632) + 375 (0.0186) }{174+375 } = \frac{17.9718}{549} = 0.0327$

Q = 1 - P = 1 - 0.0327 = 0.9673

Step(iii):-

Test statistic

$Z = \frac{p_{1}-p_{2} }{\sqrt{PQ(\frac{1}{n_{1} }+\frac{1}{n_{2} } ) } }$

$Z = \frac{0.0632-0.0186 }{\sqrt{0.0327 X 0.9673(\frac{1}{174 }+\frac{1}{375 } ) } }$

Z = 2.7261

Level of significance = 0.02 or 0.98

The z-value = 2.054

The calculated value Z = 2.7261 > 2.054 at 0.02 level of significance

Reject H₀

There is a significant difference in drug resistance between the two states.

P- value

P( Z > 2.7261) = 1 - P( Z < 2.726)

= 1 - ( 0.5 + A (2.72))

= 0.5 - 0.4967

= 0.0033

we will use two tailed test

2 P( Z > 2.7261) = 2 × 0.0033

= 0.0066

P - value = 0.0066 < 0.02

Reject H₀

There is a significant difference in drug resistance between the two states.

Find the interval(s) on which the function is increasing.

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

II (THE Second one )

Step-by-step explanation:

Because when you substitute X by (-2)

you will get :

y=(-2)^2 - 6(-2) - 16 = Zero

So, -2 is not including in the interval .

Jeanine was making a baking. She used 1/2 cup of flour to make cookies and 2/3 cup of flour to make brownies. How much flour did

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

1 and 1/6 cups of flour

Step-by-step explanation:

We need the fractions to have common denominators so multiply 1/2 by 3 and 2/3 by 2 to get the common denominator of 6.

1/2 x 3/3 = 3/6

2/3 x 2/2 = 4/6

Add the two fractions

3/6 + 4/6 = 7/6 or 1 & 1/6
