ANSWER:
m = -3/4
b = -3

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:
We have that the equation in its slope-intercept form is the following:

We calculate the slope as follows:

To calculate the slope we use the intercepts that are (-4, 0) and (0, -3), we replace:

Now, the value of b would be -3, since the y-intercept is (0,-3), therefore, the equation would be:
Answer:
0.818
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the shipment has a ton of aspirin tablets, we can assume that we pick 13 of them <em>with</em> <em>reposition, </em>because the probability shoudn't change dramatically from the probability of picking without reposition if we do so.
We call D the amount of defective tablets. If we assume that we pick the tablets with reposition, then we obtain that D is a random variable of Binomial distribution with parameters 13 and 0.6 (the probability of picking a defective tablet).
We want D to be at most one. To calculate the probability of that event we add up the probability of D being equal to 0 and the probability of D being equal to one. Since D is binomial, we have
We conclude that

Hence, the shipment will be accepted with probability 0.818

Answer:
A) 24*m + 40 ≤ 256
B) She could leave the house running for at most 9 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
The missing questions are:
<em>Part A. Create an inequality to represent the number of minutes, m, Vanessa could run the garden hose to add more water to the pond without adding the maximum amount in case of rain.
</em>
<em>
Part B. Select all the amounts of time, in minutes, that Vanessa could leave the house running.</em>
A) 48 gallons of water in 2 minutes is the same as 24 gallons per minute. Considering that her pond can hold a maximum of 256 gallons, it already has 40 gallons, and that the flow rate is 24 gallons per minute, the inequality is:
24*m + 40 ≤ 256
B) Solving the previous equation:
24*m ≤ 256 - 40
m ≤ 216/24
m ≤ 9
Answer:
29.58 mi²
Step-by-step explanation:
The figure is a trapezium and area can be calculated using the formula
A =
h(a + b)
where h is the height and a, b the parallel bases
here h = 3.4, a = 5.4 and b = 12
A = 0.5 × 3.4(5.4 + 12) = 1.7 × 17.4 = 29.58 mi²
