Explain why a line can never intersect a plane in exactly two points.

So, this is kind of a hard concept to explain without any pictures, but I'll try anyways.

Think of a plane as like a sheet of paper, and a line as a metal rod.
If I want to intersect the plane, it means that my line (rod) has to touch the plane (paper).

If I poke the rod through the paper, it only intersects it in one place, and I cannot fold or warp the paper to change that.

The only other way I can make these two touch is if I lay the rod on top of the paper. However, when I do this the paper is touching every single point along the rod...

I hope this kinda helps explain why you can never intersect in exactly two points.

A plane is flat and i line goes straight forever. A line isnt intersecting a plane when it is running along it, it has to go though the plane, and since it goes on forever it cant turn back and pok though the plane again

BaLLatris [955]
<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

Let p be the population proportion  of parents who had children in grades​ K-12 were satisfied with the quality of education the students receive.

Given : Several years​ ago, 39​% of parents who had children in grades​ K-12 were satisfied with the quality of education the students receive.

Set hypothesis to test :

H_0: p=0.39\\\\H_a :p\neq0.39

Sample size : n= 1055

Sample proportion : \hat{p}=\dfrac{466}{1055}=0.441706161137\approx0.44

Critical value for 95% confidence : z_{\alpha/2}=1.96

Confidence interval : \hat{p}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}

0.44\pm (1.96)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.39(1-0.39)}{1055}}\\\\0.44\pm0.0299536805135\\\\0.44\pm0.03\\\\=(0.44-0.03, 0.44+0.03)\\\\=(0.41,\ 0.47)

Since , Confidence interval does not contain 0.39.

It means we reject the null hypothesis.

We conclude that 95​% confidence interval represents evidence that​ parents' attitudes toward the quality of education have changed.

What is the solution to use the following equation 5(2x-6)+20=10
Mila [183]

Answer:

first you distribute the five making it 10x-30+20=10

second you combine like terms making it 10x-10=10

third you isolate the variable making it 10x=20

Finally you divide both terms by ten giving you x=2 as your answer.
