Devon wants to write an equation for a line that passes through 2 of the data points he has collected. The points are (8, 5) and

(–12, –9). He writes the equation. 7x – 10y = 3. Is this a good model? Explain your reasoning.

Use slope formula to find slope <span><span><span>−9−5</span><span>−/12−8</span></span>=<span><span>−14/</span><span>−20</span></span>=<span>7/10</span></span> 7/10 = m = slope  
y= mx + b
y= (7/10)x + b
(8,5)
(5) = (7/10)(8) + b
b = -3/5

So.... <span>y=(<span>7/10)</span>x −<span>35

</span></span> multiply by 10

<span>10y=7x−6</span><span> --> -7x + 10y = -6
 --> 7x - 10y = 6
 So, if 7x - 10y = 3 a good model?</span>

Answer:

If the model is good, then both points will check in the equation. Substituting 8 for x and 5 for y in the equation results in 56 – 50 = 3, which is not true. Therefore, the model is not good. Using (–12, –9) as a check results in –84 + 90 = 3. The constant value in the equation should be 6, not 3. In slope-intercept form, the y-intercept should be –3/5. Hope this helps!!! :)

If AA and BB are two disjoint events with P(A)=0.15P(A)=0.15 and P(B)=0.75P(B)=0.75, find the following probabilities:
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

a 0

b) 0.9

c) 0.85

d) 0.25

e) 0.1

f) 0.0375

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

As A and B are two disjoints events, then P(A and B) is

P(A and B)=0

b)

As A and B are two disjoints events, then P(A or B) is

P(A or B)=P(A)+P(B)

P(A or B)=0.15+0.75=0.9

c)

P(not A)=1-P(A)

P(not A)=1-0.15=0.85

d)

P(not B)=1-P(B)

P(not B)=1-0.75=0.25

e)

P(not (A or B))=1-P(A or B)

P(not (A or B))=1-0.9=0.1

f)

P(A and (not B))=P(A)*P(not B)

P(A and (not B))=0.15*0.25=0.0375

The amount, A, in milligrams, of radioactive material remaining in a container can be modeled by the exponential function A(t) =
lisov135 [29]

Answer: 4 years


Step-by-step explanation:

A(0) has to be amount at start. Assume that's 5mg

Then A(t) = 5×(0.5)^(0.25t) = 5×2^(-t/4),

(also known as 5 exp(-λ t) with λ = ln(2)/4, incidentally).


We need to such that A(t) = 2.5mg, or 2^(-t/4) is 1/2, which happens when -t/4 is -1, or t is 4.

14+14*14/14-14 equals what? Explain how you know
Vinvika [58]
Well you use PEMDAS (1. Parentheses 2. Exponents 3. Multiplication and Division in order from left to right 4. Addition and Subtraction in order from left to right) to solve. you have no parentheses or exponents so you do multiplication and division first 14*14 = 196, and 196/14 is 14. Then you do addition and subtraction. 14 + 14 = 28. 28 - 14 = 14.
