For the function f(x) = -12x + 7, find the

Mathematics
1 answer:
Brut [27]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

\large\boxed{x=-\frac{5}{6}}

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) is the same value as y. Therefore, y = 17. We can place this into slope intercept form (except with a defined value for y) and solve for x.

Start by subtracting 7 from both sides. Then, divide by -12 to solve for x. Finally, simplify the fraction.

17 = -12x + 7

10 = -12x

-10/12 = x

-5/6 = x

\large\boxed{x=-\frac{5}{6}}

A factory makes propeller drive shafts for ships. A quality assurance engineer at the factory needs to estimate the true mean le
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

1000-1.96\frac{2}{\sqrt{4}}=998.04    

1000+1.96\frac{2}{\sqrt{4}}=1001.96    

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:  

\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)  

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of \alpha=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.025,0,1)".And we see that z_{\alpha/2}=1.96

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

1000-1.96\frac{2}{\sqrt{4}}=998.04    

1000+1.96\frac{2}{\sqrt{4}}=1001.96

Lin has a marble that 5/8 inch wide. write the marbles width as a decimal. SHOW YOUR WORK
a_sh-v [17]
5/8 as a decimal would be 5/8 times 100/x because if you found the equivilent fraction you would be able to multiply it by the upside-down-fraction and get 1 for example 2/4 =1/2 if you multiply 4/2 with 1/2 you would get 4/4 or 1
so 5/8 times 100/x =500/8x=1
then use long division to solve 62.5/100=62.5%
