Let " x "  denotes the temperature in degree Fahrenheit .

Let  " y " denotes the chirp rate per minute .

We have given that at 88 degree Fahrenheit , chirp rate is 64 times per minute and at 97 degree Fahrenheit , it is 118 times per minute .

We write this information in coordinate form ( x,y) .

We have ( x₁ ,y₁)  = ( 88 , 64 )  and  ( x₂ , y₂) = ( 97,118) .

                         y₂   - y ₁                     118  -   64                  54

Slope , m  =  ----------------------  =    ---------------------  =     -----------

                          x₂  - x₁                        97   -  88                   9

           Slope , m =  6 .


Equation of line in slope intercept form is

y = m x + b  where  ' m' is slope and ' b ' is intercept .

Plug value of m  , we get

y = 6 x + b .

To find value of b , we put ( 88 , 64 ) in place of x and y .

Put x = 88 and y = 64 , we get

64 = 6 * 88 + b

64  = 528 + b

64 - 528 =  b

- 464 = b

Thus we get b = - 464 .

So the equation become

y = 6 x - 464 .

Equation in slope intercept form representing the situation is

y = 6 x - 464 .

A business purchases a computer system for $5,300. The value of the system decreases at a rate of 12% per year. In how many year
N76 [4]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

If a system decreases by 12% it's the same as multiplying it by .12-1 or .88

This means we can create the following equation

computer value=5300(.88)^n

where n is the number of years

We can then plug in the value of the computer and solve for n

2200=5300(.88)^n

Divide by 5300 and get

.415=.88^n

Then put this into log form and get

\frac{log(.415)}{log.88}

Evaluate this into your calculator and get n=6.69 which I would probably just round to 7

stepan [7]

Answer: Mean=4.11

Median=4.44

Step-by-step explanation:

Using a graphing calculator, enter the values into the first list.  Then run one-variable statistics on the list.

By hand, to find the mean, add together all of the values:

3.25+3.25+3.66+3.83+4.57+4.52+4.74+4.69+4.44 = 36.95

Divide by the total number of data points, 9:

36.95/9 = 4.11

To find the median, order the data from least to greatest:

3.25, 3.25, 3.66, 3.83, 4.44, 4.52, 4.57, 4.69, 4.74

The middle number is 4.44

If cos(2/3x+20)°=sin(2x−10)°, find the acute angles of the corresponding right triangle.
adell [148]

Answer:

A = 40°

B = 50°

Step-by-step explanation:

If cos A = sin B, then A + B = 90

So, 2x/3 + 20  + 2x - 10 = 90

      2x + 60 + 6x - 30 = 270

               8x + 30 = 270

                       8x = 240

                          x = 30

2x/3 + 20 = 60/3 + 20 = 20 + 20 = 40

2x - 10 = 2(30) - 10 = 60 - 10 = 50  or  90 - 40 = 50
