Answer:

<h2>D. 3</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

\bold{METHOD\ 1}

\text{The formula of a slope:}\\\\m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\text{x-intercept:}\ (x,\ 0).\\\\\text{Susbtitute the coordinates of the points to the formula of a slope}\\\\(-3,\ -4),\ (6,\ 2),\ (x,\ 0):\\\\m=\dfrac{2-(-4)}{6-(-3)}=\dfrac{2+4}{6+3}=\dfrac{6}{9}=\dfrac{6:3}{9:3}=\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\m=\dfrac{0-2}{x-6}=\dfrac{-2}{x-6}\\\\\text{Therefore we have the equation:}\\\\\dfrac{-2}{x-6}=\dfrac{2}{3}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\2(x-6)=(-2)(3)\\\\2(x-6)=-6\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\x-6=-3\qquad\text{add 6 to both sides}\\\\x=3

\bold{METHOD\ 2}\\\\\text{Look at the picture.}

Mark points in the coordinate system.

Lead a line through these points.

Read x-intercept.

Lunna [17]

Answer:

<h2>h = 9, k = 8</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{The vertex form of an an equation of a quadratic function:}\\\\y=a(x-h)^2+k\\\\(h,\ k)-vertex\\\\\text{We have}\ g(x)=(x-h)^2+k,\ \text{and the vertex in}\ (9,\ 8).\\\\\text{Therefore}\ h=9\ \text{and}\ k=8.\ \text{substitute:}\\\\g(x)=(x-9)^2+8

A company is interested on average wages of employee and variance. A sample of 20 workers is taken and it is found that mean wag
vfiekz [6]
Given that the mean is $9.5 and the standard deviation is $1.30, the standard error will be given by:
σ/√n
where
σ-standard deviation
n=sample size

thus, we shal have:
1.30/√20
=0.2906
Next we find the margin error
0.2906*2=0.581
thus the confidence interval will be:
(9.5+0.581, 9.5-0.581)
=(10.081,8.919)
