Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept (b) of the function is the point at which the line of the graph of the given values of the table above crosses the y-axis, for which x = 0.

To find the y-intercept of the function represented by the tables, recall the equation of a straight line which is given as:

y = mx + b

Where, m is the slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

b = the y-intercept we are to find

y and x could be any values of a point on the graph which is represented in the table of values.

First, let's find the slope (m):

Let's use any 2 given pairs of the values in the table above.

Using,

(1, 4), (2, 0),

y1 = 4,

y2 = 0

x1 = 1

x2 = 2

m = (0 - 4)/(2 - 1)

m = -4/1 = -4

=>Using, y = mx + b, let's find the y-intercept (b), taking any of the coordinate pairs from the table of values given.

Let's use, (1, 4) as our x and y values.

Thus,

4 = -4(1) + b

4 = -4 + b

Add 4 to both sides to solve for b

4 + 4 = -4 + b + 4

8 = b

y-intercept of the function represented by the table of values = 8

Check if given set of numbers 6,8,10 forms pythagorean triplet or not?

kipiarov [429]

$\LARGE{ \underline{ \tt{Required \: answer:}}}$

We know that,

Pythagoras theoram is given by : p² + b² = h²

In a Pythagoras triplet, the longest side represents the hypotenuse of the triangle.

Then,

We should check that, whether the sum of squares of the smaller sides will be equal to the square of the third side or not. Then, we can determine the above easily.

Sum of squares of smaller sides:

= 6² + 8²

= 36 + 64

= 100

Square of longer side:

= 10²

= 100

Sum of squares of smaller sides = Square of longer side. Hence, 6,8,10 are Pythagorean triplets.

And we are done! :D

Breyers is a major producer of ice cream and would like to test if the average American consumes more than 17 ounces of ice crea

asambeis [7]

Answer:

The conclusion for this hypothesis test would be that the average American consumes less than or equal to 17 ounces of ice cream per month.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Breyers is a major producer of ice cream and would like to test if the average American consumes more than 17 ounces of ice cream per month.

A random sample of 25 Americans was found to consume an average of 19 ounces of ice cream last month. The standard deviation for this sample was 5 ounces.

Let $\mu$ = average ounces of ice cream consumed by American per month

So, Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : $\mu \leq$ 17 ounces {means that the average American consumes less than or equal to 17 ounces of ice cream per month}

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : $\mu$ > 17 ounces {means that the average American consumes more than 17 ounces of ice cream per month}

The test statistics that will be used here is One-sample t test statistics as we don't know about population standard deviation;

T.S. = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ $t_n_-_1$

where, $\bar X$ = sample average = 19 ounces

s = sample standard deviation = 5 ounces

n = sample of Americans = 25

So, test statistics = $\frac{19-17}{\frac{5}{\sqrt{25} } }$ ~ $t_2_4$

= 2

The value of the test statistics is 2.

Now at 0.025 significance level, the t table gives critical value of 2.06 at 24 degree of freedom for right-tailed test. Since our test statistics is less than the critical values of t, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region due to which we fail to reject our null hypothesis.

Therefore, we conclude that the the average American consumes less than or equal to 17 ounces of ice cream per month.

In the figure, WY¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯WY¯ and XZ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯XZ¯ intersect at point VV, the measure of ∠WVZ∠WVZ is (11x−19)°(11x−19)°, and the me

Zepler [3.9K]

Assuming a diagram similar to the one I've attached, ∠YVZ is a vertical angle to ∠WVX, which means they have an equal measure. Additionally, ∠WVZ and ∠WVX form a linear pair, which means they are supplementary (sum to 180°). That means we start out with the equation
$(11x-19)+(8x+28)=180$
We combine our like terms (the x's get combined, then the constants get combined) and have:
$19x+9=180$
Cancel the 9 first by subtraction:
$19x+9-9=180-9 \\ 19x=171$
Cancel the 19 by division:
$\frac{19x}{19}= \frac{171}{19} \\ x=9$
Since we know that our angle we're looking for, ∠YVZ, is the same measure as ∠WVX, we substitute 9 in for x:
8(9)+28=72+28=100°
