Answer:

y = $\frac{1}{2}$ x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 6, - 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 4, - 4)

m = $\frac{-4+5}{-4+6}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$ , thus

y = $\frac{1}{2}$ x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (- 6, - 5), then

- 5 = - 3 + c ⇒ c = - 5 + 3 = - 2

y = $\frac{1}{2}$ x - 2 ← equation of line

a card player selects a playing card from a well-shuffled deck of standard playing cards and sees if the card is a red card or n

DIA [1.3K]

It is not binomial random variable , since the number of red cards is unknown in the deck of cards in the starting of experiment.

As given in the question,

Number of cards are unknown.

Number of red cards are unknown in the starting of experiment.

Number of times process done =10

For binomial random variable number of red cards should be known.

Therefore, it is not binomial random variable , since the number of red cards is unknown in the deck of cards in the starting of experiment.

borishaifa [10]

X cannot equal +2, and can't be -1. If you factor it, then you notice you get 2(x+2)(x-2). If you use either one for the x, one will be zero and the won't, and vise-versa.

Answer:

132 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

1 Km = (60)(8)+15=495 seconds

4 mornings = (495)(4) =1980 seconds

4 weeks = (1980)(4) = 7920 sec.

7920/60 = 132 minutes

A ladder 16 feet long is leaning against the wall of a tall building. The base of the ladder is moving away from the wall at a r

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

a. 0.588

b. 0.0722

c. 4.576 sqft/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b and h denote the base and height as indicated in the diagram. By pythagoras theorem, $h^2 + b^2 = 16^2 = 256 \dotsc\;(1)$ because it is a right angle triangle.

It is given that $\frac{db}{dt} = 1$

Now differentiate (1) with respect to t (time) :

$\displaystyle{2h\frac{dh}{dt} + 2b\frac{db}{dt} = 0 \implies \frac{dh}{dt} = -\frac{b}{h} \frac{db}{dt}}$

$\displaystyle{=-\frac{b}{\sqrt{256 - b^2}} \frac{db}{dt} = -\frac{8}{13.856} \times 1 = -0.588}$

The minus sign indicates that the value of h is actually decreasing. The required answer is 0.588.

b. From the diagram, infer that $16 \sin{\theta} = b$ . When b = 8, then $\theta = \arcsin{0.5} = \ang{30}$ .

Differentiate the above equation w.r.t t

$\displaystyle{16 \cos{\theta} \frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{db}{dt} \implies \frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{1}{16 \cos{\theta}} = \frac{1}{13.856} = \mathbf{0.0722}}$

c. The area of the triangle is given by $A = 0.5\times h \times b$ . Differentiating w.r.t t,

$\displatstyle{\frac{dA}{dt} = 0.5 b \frac{dh}{dt} + 0.5 h \frac{db}{dt}}$

Plugging in b = 8, h = 13.856, $\frac{dh}{dt} = -0.588$ ,

$\frac{dA}{dt} = -2.352 + 6.928 = \mathbf{4.576 ft^2/sec}$
