. Could someone please explain this to me in detail. I am very confused. Thank you so much!. . A candle is 17 inches tall after

burning for 3 hours. after 5 hours it is 15 inches tall. Write a linear equation to model the relationship between height H of the candle, and T time. predict how tall the candle will be after burning 8 hours.

The generic equation of the line is:

$H-H0 = m (T-T0)$

Where,

m: slope of the line

(T0, H0): ordered pair belonging to the line.

The slope of the line is:

$m =\frac{H2-H1}{T2-T1}$

Substituting values we have:

$m =\frac{15-17}{5-3}$

Rewriting:

$m =\frac{-2}{2}$

$m = -1$

Then, choosing an ordered pair we have:

$(T0, H0) :( 5, 15)$

Substituting values we have:

$H-15=-(T-5)$

Rewriting the equation:

$H-15=-T+5$

$H=-T+5+15$

$H=-T+20$

Then, for 8 hours we have:

$H=-8+20$

$H=12$

Answer:

a linear equation to model the relationship between height H of the candle, and T time is:

$H=-T+20$

the candle will be 12 inches after burning 8 hours

We can translate the given data into points (hrs,inches). Hence, we have points (3,17) and (5,15). The rate at which the candle shortens is (15-17)/<span>(5-3) </span>equal to 1 inch per hour. Substituting this slope to the equation (y2-y1)= m(x2-x1) we have y-17= -1*(x-3) or y = -x + 20 where y is the length of the candle and x is the hours.

PLEASE HELP! I'll give 5 out of 5 stars, give thanks, and give as many points as I can.

Liula [17]

Answer:

$\boxed{\boxed{x=\dfrac{\pi}{3}\ \vee\ x=\pi\ \vee\ x=\dfrac{5\pi}{3}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\cos(3x)=-1\iff3x=\pi+2k\pi\qquad k\in\mathbb{Z}\\\\\text{divide both sides by 3}\\\\x=\dfrac{\pi}{3}+\dfrac{2k\pi}{3}\\\\x\in[0,\ 2\pi)$

$\text{for}\ k=0\to x=\dfrac{\pi}{3}+\dfrac{2(0)\pi}{3}=\dfrac{\pi}{3}+0=\boxed{\dfrac{\pi}{3}}\in[0,\ 2\pi)\\\\\text{for}\ k=1\to x=\dfrac{\pi}{3}+\dfrac{2(1)\pi}{3}=\dfrac{\pi}{3}+\dfrac{2\pi}{3}=\dfrac{3\pi}{3}=\boxed{\pi}\in[0,\ 2\pi)\\\\\text{for}\ k=2\to x=\dfrac{\pi}{3}+\dfrac{2(2)\pi}{3}=\dfrac{\pi}{3}+\dfrac{4\pi}{3}=\boxed{\dfrac{5\pi}{3}}\in[0,\ 2\pi)\\\\\text{for}\ k=3\to x=\dfrac{\pi}{3}+\dfrac{2(3)\pi}{3}=\dfrac{\pi}{3}+\dfrac{6\pi}{3}=\dfrac{7\pi}{3}\notin[0,\ 2\po)$

A courier service company wishes to estimate the proportion of people in various states that will use its services. Suppose the

Orlov [11]

Answer:

95.44% probability that the sample proportion will differ from the population proportion by less than 0.03.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean $\mu = p$ and standard deviation $s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}$

In this question:

$p = 0.05, n = 212, \mu = 0.05, s = \sqrt{\frac{0.05*0.95}{212}} = 0.015$

What is the probability that the sample proportion will differ from the population proportion by less than 0.03?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 0.03 + 0.05 = 0.08 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 0.05 - 0.03 = 0.02. So

X = 0.08

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{0.08 - 0.05}{0.015}$

$Z = 2$

$Z = 2$ has a pvalue of 0.9772

X = 0.02

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{0.02 - 0.05}{0.015}$

$Z = -2$

$Z = -2$ has a pvalue of 0.0228

0.9772 - 0.0228 = 0.9544

95.44% probability that the sample proportion will differ from the population proportion by less than 0.03.

Leo is purchasing a bike that is on sale for 30% off. He knows the function that represents the sale price of his bike is c(p) =

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

f[c(p)] = 0.784p

Step-by-step explanation:

sales discount = 30%

sales tax = 12%

c(p) = 0.7p where p is the original price

f(c) = 1.12c where c is the sales price of the bike.

f[c(p)] = 1.12(0.7p)

f[c(p)] = 0.784p Last option.

Assume: p = 100

c(100) = 0.7(100) = 70

f(70) = 1.12(70) = 78.4

f[70(100)] = 0.784(100) = 78.4
