Algebra public opinion polls reported in newspapers are usually given with a margin of error. for example, a poll with a margin

of error of ±5% is considered accurate to within plus or minus 5% of the actual value. a poll with a stated margin of error of 6.3% predicts that candidate towne will receive 51% of an upcoming vote. write and solve an equation describing the minimum and maximum percent of the vote that candidate towne is expected to receive.

Answer:

Minimum percent of the vote that candidate Towne is expected to recieve:

m=51% - 6.3% * 51% =47.787%

Maximum percent of the vote that candidate Towne is expected to recieve:

M=51% + 6.3% * 51% = 54.213%

Solution:

Margin of error: E=6.3%

Minimum percent of the vote that candidate Towne is expected to recieve:

m=51% - E * 51%

m=51% - 6.3% * 51%

m=51% - 51% * 6.3 / 100

m=51% - 3.213%

m=47.787%

Maximum percent of the vote that candidate Towne is expected to recieve:

M=51% + E * 51%

M=51% + 6.3% * 51%

M=51% + 51% * 6.3 / 100

M=51% + 3.213%

M=54.213%

What is the equation in slope-intercept form of the linear function represented by the table?
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

y = -x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given (-5,14), (-2,11), (1,8), and (4,5).  Your first objective is to find the slope.

Slope is delta y divided by delta x - the amount of height the graph gains divided by the amount of horizontal length the graph gains.  Take any two points and plug it into this: \frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1}}.

i.e. (-2,11) and (4,5): \frac{11-5}{-2-4} which is \frac{6}{-6}, or -1.  Thus, the slope is -1.

We now have y = -1(x) + b, or just y = -x + b.

Next, find the y-intercept.  Set the value of x to 0, as the y-intercept is found along the y-axis, which is at the horizontal center of the graph, 0.  We now know that the y-intercept is (0,y).  To find the y-value, plug one of the coordinate pairs of choice into x and y.

i.e. (-5,14): 14 = (-1)(-5) + b

14 = 5 + b

14 - 5 = 5 + b - 5

9 = b

So, the y-intercept is (0,9).

Finally, the equation is:

y = -x + 9

What is the equation of the linear function written in slope-intercept form?
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

<h2>f(x) = -3x - 1</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

f(x)=mx+b

<em>m</em><em> - slope</em>

<em>b</em><em> - y-intercept, (0, b)</em>

The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

From the graph we have two points <em>A(-1, 2)</em> and <em>B(0, -1) → b = -1</em>.

Calculate the slope:

m=\dfrac{-1-2}{0-(-1)}=\dfrac{-3}{1}=-3

Finally:

f(x)=-3x-1

In a word processing document or on a separate piece of paper, use the guide to construct a two column proof proving that lines
ohaa [14]

Answer:

See the proof.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Statement     </u><u>                                                         </u><u>   Reason</u>

1.∠1 and ∠2 are supplementary angles     ---           Given  

2. m∠1 + m∠2 = 180°     ---                  Linear pair, they are supplementary                                

3. m∠1  and m∠3 are supplementary angles --  m∠1 + m∠3= 180

                                                                              (Supplementary angles add upto 180 degrees)  

4.  m∠1 and m∠3           ------                                 Exterior sides in opposite rays

5.   m∠1 + m∠2 = m∠1 + m∠3  ------                       Transitive property  

6.    m∠2 = m∠3                     --------------                Subtraction  property

7.   l || m  ------------- If two lines are cut by transversal the alternative interior

                               angles are the same, then the lines are paralle.

Thank you.
