A test to detect an infection gives a positive result 98% of the time if a person is infected. It is 97% accurate for people who

sergeinik [125]

Consider this:

If a test gives a positive result for an infected person 98% of the time, that means that 2% of the time, it gives a negative result for an infected person, which would be a false negative.

Then,

if the test is 97& accurate (not precise) for non-infected people, that means that it gives a negative result 97& of the time. So a positive result will be given 3% of the time for non-infected people, which is considered a false positive.

This problem can be readily solved if we are familiar with the point-slope form of straight lines:
y-y0=m(x-x0) ...................................(1)
where
m=slope of line
(x0,y0) is a point through which the line passes.

We know that the line passes through A(3,-6), B(1,2)

All options have a slope of -4, so that should not be a problem. In fact, if we check the slope=(yb-ya)/(xb-xa), we do find that the slope m=-4.

So we can check which line passes through which point:

a. y+6=-4(x-3)
Rearrange to the form of equation (1) above,
y-(-6)=-4(x-3) means that line passes through A(3,-6) => ok

b. y-1=-4(x-2) means line passes through (2,1), which is neither A nor B
****** this equation is not the line passing through A & B *****

c. y=-4x+6 subtract 2 from both sides (to make the y-coordinate 2)
y-2 = -4x+4, rearrange
y-2 = -4(x-1)
which means that it passes through B(1,2), so ok

d. y-2=-4(x-1)
this is the same as the previous equation, so it passes through B(1,2),
this equation is ok.

Answer: the equation y-1=-4(x-2) does NOT pass through both A and B.

Answer :-

9(3+√3) feet

Step by step explanation :-

A triangle is given to us. In which one angle is 30° and length of one side is 18ft ( hypontenuse) .So here we can use trignometric Ratios to find values of rest sides. Let's lable the figure as ∆ABC .

Now here the other angle will be = (90°-30°)=60° .

In ∆ABC ,

=> sin 30 ° = AB / AC

=> 1/2 = AB / 18ft

=> AB = 18ft/2

=> AB = 9ft .

Again In ∆ ABC ,

=> cos 30° = BC / AC

=> √3/2 = BC / 18ft

=> BC = 18 * √3/2 ft

=> BC = 9√3 ft .

Hence the perimeter will be equal to the sum of all sides = ( 18 + 9 + 9√3 ) ft = 27 + 9√3 ft = 9(3+√3) ft .

<h3>Hence the perimeter of the triangular pathway shown is 9 ( 3 + √3 ) ft .</h3>
