Answer:

The Answer is: The y intercept form for a line that is parallel to the given equation and passes through the given point is: y = 1/2x + 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a point: (4, 8)

Given and equation:

y = 1/2x - 3

Write an equation parallel that passes through the point (4, 8).

Start with the point-slope form of the equation, use the slope m = 1/2 from the given equation:

y - 8 = 1/2(x - 4)

Solve for y to get the slope intercept form:

y - 8 = 1/2x - 2

y = 1/2x - 2 + 8

y = 1/2x + 6

Proof:

Solve for f(x) when x = 4

f(4) = 1/2x + 6

= 1/2(4) + 6

= 2 + 6 = 8, giving the point (4, 8)

candice is going to replace the top of a table with a new piece of wood. How many square feet of wood would she purchase? 8ft. ,

lukranit [14]

Answer:

She needs to purchase 50 square feet of wood .

Step-by-step explanation:

we can find the number of square feet of wood needed to purchase by finding the area of the table

The area of the table = area of the triangle + area of the rectangle

Area of the triangle:

Area of the triangle = $\frac{1}{2}(base \times height)$

On substituting the values from the attached figure , we get

Area of the triangle = $\frac{1}{2}(4\times 5)$

Area of the triangle = $\frac{20}{2}$

Area of the triangle = 10 square feet

Area of the rectangle:

Area of the rectangle = Length X Breadth

On substituting the values from the attached figure , we get

Area of the triangle = $5 \times 8$

Area of the triangle = 40 square feet

Thus the area of the table = 10 + 40 = 50 square feet

The concession stand at a ballpark makes $0.43 profit from each hot dog sold. It also makes a profit of $0.65 from each pretzel

kaheart [24]

0.43h + 0.65p + 1.31d = c

explanation:
h stands for hotdogs, p for pretzels, and d for drinks. c represents the total cost.
each price next to the variable describes the profit per item.

hope this helps! :D

the mgf of a random variable x is e^3(e^t-1). Find P[mean - standard deviation squared < X < 1/2( mean + standard deviatio

postnew [5]

The given MGF is that for a random variable following a Poisson distribution with parameter $\lambda=3$ .

This means $\mathbb E(X)=\mathbb V(X)=\lambda$ , and $X$ has PMF

$f_X(x)=\begin{cases}\dfrac{3^xe^{-3}}{x!}&\text{for }x\ge0\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

So, the desired probability is

$\mathbb P\left(\lambda-\lambda^2$

This is equivalent to

$\displaystyle\sum_{x=0}^2\mathbb P(X=x)=\sum_{x=0}^2\frac{3^x}{x!e^3}=\frac{17}{2e^3}\approx0.4232$
