Answer:

slope = - $\frac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange - 9x - 6y = 18 into this form

Add 9x to both sides

- 6y = 9x + 18 ( divide all terms by - 6 )

y = - $\frac{3}{2}$ x - 3 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - $\frac{3}{2}$

Graph f(x) =-2x^+16x-30 by factoring to find the solutions, then find the coordinates of the vertex, and the axis of symmetry. I

fredd [130]

Answer:

Observe attached image

Function zeros:

(3, 0), (5, 0)

Vertex:

(4, 2)

Axis of symmetry:

 $x =4$ 

Step-by-step explanation:

First factorize the function

$f (x) = -2x ^ 2 + 16x-30$

Take -2 as a common factor.

$-2(x ^ 2 -8x +15)$

Now factor the expression $x ^ 2 -8x +15$

You must find two numbers that when you add them, obtain the result -8 and multiplying those numbers results in 15.

These numbers are -5 and -3

Then we can factor the expression in the following way:

$f (x) = -2(x-5)(x-3)$

The quadratic function cuts the x-axis at x = 3 and at x = 5.

Now we find the coordinates of the vertex.

For a function of the form $ax ^ 2 + bx + c$ the x coordinate of its vertex is:

$x = \frac{-b}{2a}$

In the function $f (x) = -2x ^ 2 + 16x-30$

$a = -2\\b = 16\\c = 30$

Then the vertice is:

$x = \frac{-16}{2(-2)}\\\\x = 4$

The y coordinate of the symmetry axis is

$y = f (4) = -2 (4) ^ 2 +16 (4) -30\\\\y = 2$

The axis of symmetry is a vertical line that cuts the parabola in two equal halves. This axis of symmetry always passes through the vertex.

Then the axis of symmetry is the line

$x = 4$

The solutions and the vertice written as ordered pairs are:

Function zeros:

(3, 0), (5, 0)

Vertex:

(4, 2)

A lathe is set to cut bars of steel into lengths of 6 cm. The lathe is considered to be in perfect adjustment if the average len

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

$t=\frac{5.97-6}{\frac{0.4}{\sqrt{93}}}=-0.723$

E. -0.723

$df=n-1=93-1=92$

$p_v =2*P(t_{(92)}$

Since the p value is very high we don't have enough evidence to conclude that the true mean for the lengths is different from 6 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Information provided

$\bar X=5.97$ represent the sample mean for the length

$s=0.4$ represent the sample standard deviation

$n=93$ sample size

$\mu_o =6$ represent the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.05$ represent the significance level

t would represent the statistic

$p_v$ represent the p value for the test

System of hypothesis

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the lathe is in perfect adjustment (6cm), then the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu = 6$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu \neq 6$

since we don't know the population deviation the statistic is:

$t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

Replacing in formula (1) we got:

$t=\frac{5.97-6}{\frac{0.4}{\sqrt{93}}}=-0.723$

E. -0.723

P value

The degrees of freedom are given by:

$df=n-1=93-1=92$

Since is a two tailed test the p value would be:

$p_v =2*P(t_{(92)}$

Since the p value is very high we don't have enough evidence to conclude that the true mean for the lengths is different from 6 cm.

The points A-1,-9) and K(5,1) are endpoints of a diameter of circle 5. Which equation represents circle S?

Lilit [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

if (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the extremities of diameter,then eq. of circle is

(x-x1)(x-x2)+(y-y1)(y-y2)=0

reqd. eq. is (x+1)(x-5)+(y+9)(y-1)=0

$x^{2} +x-5x-5+y^2+9y-y-9=0\\x^{2} -4x+y^2+8y-14=0\\compare with x^2+y^2+2gx+2fy+c=0\\center (-g,-f) \\radius r=\sqrt{g^2+f^2-c}$

center is (2,-4)

r=√(2²+(-4)²-(-14))

=√(4+16+14)

=√(34)

eq. of circle is (x-2)²+(y+4)²=34

(x²-4x)+(y²+8y)=14

(x²-4x+4)+(y²+8y+16)=14+4+16

(x-2)²+(y+4)²=34
