4 - 2(x + 3) = 5
4 - 2x - 6 = 5
-2x - 2 = 5
-2x = 5 + 2
-2x = 7
x = -7/2 or = -3 1/2

Work out an equation of the straight line with gradient 3 that passes through the point with coordinates (2, 4).

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

The answer is

$\huge \boxed{y = 3x - 10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an equation of a line given the slope and a point we use the formula

$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$

where

m is the slope

( x1 , y1) is the point

From the question the point is (2, 4) and the slope is 3

The equation of the line is

$y - 4 = 3(x - 2) \\ y + 4 = 3x - 6 \\ y = 3x - 6 - 4$

We have the final answer as

$y = 3x - 10$

Hope this helps you

Find the given term 11, -33,99 9th term

kvv77 [185]

Assuming the sequence goes on like this 11,-33,99,-297,891,...,
its general formula is $a_n=-11\cdot(-1)^n\cdot3^{n-1}$

So, the 9th term is
$a_9=-11\cdot(-1)^9\cdot3^{9-1}=-11\cdot(-1)\cdot6561=72171$

A local company makes a candy that is supposed to weigh 1.00 ounces. A random sample of 25 pieces of candy produces a mean of 0.

AysviL [449]

Answer:

$n=(\frac{2.58(0.004)}{0.001})^2 =106.50 \approx 107$

So the answer for this case would be n=107 rounded up to the nearest integer

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

$\bar X= 0.996$ the sample mean

$s=0.004$ the sample deviation

$n =25$ the sample size

Solution to the problem

The margin of error is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (a)

And on this case we have that ME =0.001 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

$n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2$ (b)

We can use as estimator of the real population deviation the sample deviation for this case $\hat \sigma = s$ / The critical value for 99% of confidence interval is given by $z_{\alpha/2}=2.58$ , replacing into formula (b) we got:

$n=(\frac{2.58(0.004)}{0.001})^2 =106.50 \approx 107$

So the answer for this case would be n=107 rounded up to the nearest integer
