Break it up into 2 triangles. base is 4.5, hypotenuse is 9
4.5^2+b^2=8120.25+b^2=81b^2=60.75
h=7.794228634059948

ki77a [65]

The format is y = mx + b
where y would be your C
x would be your M
m would be the price per mile (2.20)
and b would be your initial fee (2.75)

put this together in that format and we get
C = 2.20M + 2.75

Use the normal distribution of SAT critical reading scores for which the mean is 502 and the standard deviation is 116. Assume t

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

(a) 93.19%

(b) 267.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The population mean and standard deviation are given as 502 and 116 respectively.

Consider, <em>X</em> be the random variable that shows the SAT critical reading score is normally distributed.

(a) The percent of the SAT verbal scores are less than 675 can be calculated as:

$P(X$

Thus, the required percentage is 93.19%

(b)

The number of SAT verbal scores that are expected to be greater than 575 can be calculated as:

$P(X>575)=P(\frac{x-502}{116}>\frac{575-502}{116}\\P(X>575)=P(Z>\frac{575-502}{116})\\P(X>575)=P(Z>0.6293)\\P(X>575)=0.2673$

So,

Out of 1000 randomly selected SAT verbal scores, 1000(0.2673) = 267.3 are expected to have greater than 575.

A student solves the following equation and

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

Since the equation is undefined for -2

Therefore, NO SOLUTION for the given equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the expression

$\frac{3}{a+2}-6\cdot \frac{a}{-4+a^2}=\frac{1}{a-2}$

$\frac{3}{a+2}-\frac{6a}{-4+a^2}=\frac{1}{a-2}$

$\mathrm{Find\:Least\:Common\:Multiplier\:of\:}a+2,\:-4+a^2,\:a-2:\quad \left(a+2\right)\left(a-2\right)$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:by\:LCM=}\left(a+2\right)\left(a-2\right)$

$\frac{3}{a+2}\left(a+2\right)\left(a-2\right)-\frac{6a}{-4+a^2}\left(a+2\right)\left(a-2\right)=\frac{1}{a-2}\left(a+2\right)\left(a-2\right)$

$\frac{3}{a+2}\left(a+2\right)\left(a-2\right):\quad 3\left(a-2\right)$

$-\frac{6a}{-4+a^2}\left(a+2\right)\left(a-2\right):\quad -6a$

$\frac{1}{a-2}\left(a+2\right)\left(a-2\right):\quad a+2$

so equation becomes

$3\left(a-2\right)-6a=a+2$

$-3a-6=a+2$

$-3a-6+6=a+2+6$

$-4a=8$

$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}-4$

$\frac{-4a}{-4}=\frac{8}{-4}$

$a=-2$

$\mathrm{Verify\:Solutions}$

$\mathrm{Take\:the\:denominator\left(s\right)\:of\:}\frac{3}{a+2}-6\frac{a}{-4+a^2}-\frac{1}{a-2}\mathrm{\:and\:compare\:to\:zero}$

$\mathrm{Solve\:}\:a+2=0:\quad a=-2$

$\mathrm{Solve\:}\:-4+a^2=0:\quad a=2,\:a=-2$

$\mathrm{Solve\:}\:a-2=0:\quad a=2$

So the following points are undefined

$a=-2,\:a=2$

Since the equation is undefined for -2

Therefore, NO SOLUTION for the given equation.

Write the equation of a line, in slope intercept form, that has a slope of 1 and passes through the point (2, 4).

Illusion [34]

Start with the simplest equation of a straight line: y = mx + b.

Subst. 1 for m, 2 for x and 4 for y. Then, 4 = 1(2) + b, or b = 2.

In slope-intercept form, the equation of this line is y = x + 2.
