Answer:

w=0.5t

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

'w' represents inches of water left after 't' minutes of time.

The dripping out of water is a linear function.

At time 't' equal to 0, the bucket was empty.

After 14 minutes, there are 7 inches of water in the bucket.

A linear function model is of the form: w=mt+b

Where, m\to\textrm{dripping rate of water}\\b\to\textrm{water level at t=0}

Now, at t=0,w=0(\textrm{As bucket was empty})

At t=14,w=7

Therefore, plugging these values in the above linear model and solving the system of linear equations. This gives,

0=m(0)+b\\0=0+b\\b=0\\\\7=14m+0\\m=\frac{7}{14}=0.5\ in/min

Therefore, the values of 'm' and 'b' are 0.5 and 0 respectively.

Thus, the linear model is given as:

w=0.5t

Find the tangent of the angle in between the lines 2x+3y–5=0 and 5x=7y+3?
postnew [5]

Answer:

tanФ = 2.6363636

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the tangent of the angle in-between the lines we will follow the steps below:

We are going to use the formula;

tanФ = |m₂ - m₁  / 1 + m₁m₂|

We can get the slope m₁ from the first equation

2x+3y–5=0

we will re-arrange it in the form y=mx + c

3y = -2x + 5

Divide through by 3

y = -\frac{2}{3}x + \frac{5}{3}

comparing the above equation with y=mx + c

m₁ =  -\frac{2}{3}

We will proceed to find the second slope m₂ using the second equation

5x=7y+3

we will re-arrange it in the form y=mx + c

7y = 5x -3

divide through by 7

y = \frac{5}{7} x -  \frac{3}{7}

comparing the above with y=mx + x

m₂ = \frac{5}{7}

we can now go ahead and substitute into the formula

tanФ = |m₂ - m₁  / 1 + m₁m₂|

tanФ = | \frac{5}{7} -  (-\frac{2}{3} ) / 1 +  (-\frac{2}{3}₁)( \frac{5}{7})|

tanФ = | \frac{5}{7} +\frac{2}{3}  / 1 -  \frac{10}{21}|

tanФ = | \frac{29}{21} / \frac{11}{21}|

tanФ = | \frac{29}{21} × \frac{21}{11}|

21 will cancel-out 21

tanФ =\frac{29}{11}

tanФ = 2.636363

to estimate the average monthly rent for 1 bedroom apartments, 13 complexes were randomly selected in Orlando. The mean cost is
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval for the mean monthly rent of all 1 bedroom apartments is between $841.67 and $1098.33

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, so we use the t-distribution to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 13 - 1 = 12

90% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 12 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.95. So we have T = 1.7823

The margin of error is:

M = T*s = 1.7823*72 = 128.33

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 970 - 128.33 = $841.67

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 970 + 128.33 = $1098.33

The 90% confidence interval for the mean monthly rent of all 1 bedroom apartments is between $841.67 and $1098.33
