$\boxed{y=-1}$

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

In order to solve this problem, let's remember the point-slope form of the equation of a line:

$y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1}) \\ \\ m:slope \\ \\ (x_{1},y_{1}):A \ point \ on \ the \ line$

We know two points:

$(x_{1},y_{1})=(-4, -1) \\ \\ (x_{2},y_{2})=(6, -1)$

So:

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} \\ \\ m=\frac{-1-(-1)}{6-(-4)} \\ \\ m=0$

So this is a constant line (slope equals zero). Therefore, every point has a y-coordinate $y=-1$ . In other words, the equation is:

$\boxed{y=-1}$

A recent survey asked UF students if they had a job or not, and if they were underclassmen (Freshmen and Sophomores) or uppercla

vlada-n [284]

Following the table and knowing that the total number of students interviewed were 158 ( we can see this by looking adding either the total number of upperclassment or adding the total number of people with jobs or no jobs, this value is at the bottom right of the table in the figure attached).
Recall that:
$P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)$
In the figure provided each of these terms is highlighted in a different color. To convert these values to their matching probabilities we have to divide each by the total number of students, this is due to the fact that the probability is the number of favorable cases (in this case a group matching the qualities we seek) divided by the total amount of cases ( that is the total number of people interviewed). In the figure the answer is provided. For the intersection of the two events we're looking for people that is both an undercalssman and also has a job.

Suppose that the ages of members in a large billiards league have a known standard deviation of σ = 12 σ=12sigma, equals, 12 yea

asambeis [7]

Answer:

$n\geq 23$

Step-by-step explanation:

-For a known standard deviation, the sample size for a desired margin of error is calculated using the formula:

$n\geq (\frac{z\sigma}{ME})^2$

Where:

$\sigma$ is the standard deviation
$ME$ is the desired margin of error.

We substitute our given values to calculate the sample size:

$n\geq (\frac{z\sigma}{ME})^2\\\\\geq (\frac{1.96\times 12}{5})^2\\\\\geq 22.13\approx23$

Hence, the smallest desired sample size is 23

A rumor spreads through a small town. Let y ( t ) be the fraction of the population that has heard the rumor at time t and assum

Ivan

Answer:

Differential equation

$\frac{dy}{dt} =ky(1-y)$

Solution

$y=\frac{1}{1+4e^{-0.327t}}$

Value of constant k=0.327 days^(-1)

The rumor reaches 80% at 8.48 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know

y(t): proportion of people that heard the rumor

y'(t)=ky(1-y), rate of spread of the rumor

Differential equation

$\frac{dy}{dt} =ky(1-y)$

Solving the differential equation

$\frac{dy}{y(1-y)}=k\cdot dt \\\\\int \frac{dx}{y(1-y)} =k \int dt \\\\-ln(1-\frac{1}{y} )+C_0=kt\\\\1-\frac{1}{y} =Ce^{-kt}\\\\\frac{1}{y} =1-Ce^{-kt}\\\\y=\frac{1}{1-Ce^{-kt}}$

Initial conditions:

$y(0)=0.2\\y(3)=0.4\\\\y(0)=0.2=\frac{1}{1-Ce^0}\\\\1-C=1/0.2\\\\C=1-1/0.2= -4\\\\\\y(3)=0.4=\frac{1}{1+4e^{-3k}} \\\\1+4e^{-3k}=1/0.4\\\\e^{-3k}=(2.5-1)/4=0.375\\\\k=ln(0.375)/(-3)=0.327\\\\\\y=\frac{1}{1+4e^{-0.327t}}$

Value of constant k=0.327 days^(-1)

At what time the rumor reaches 80%?

$y(t)=0.8=\frac{1}{1+4e^{-0.327t}} \\\\1+4e^{-0.327t}=1/0.8=1.25\\\\e^{-0.327t}=(1.25-1)/4=0.0625\\\\t=ln(0.0625)/(-0.327)=8.48$

The rumor reaches 80% at 8.48 days.

In the equation x/35 = 7, what is the value of x? <br> A. 35 <br> B. 245 <br> C. 7 <br> D. 5

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

The equation given in the question has one unknown variable in the ofrm of "x" and there is also a single equation. So it can be definitely pointed out that the exact value of the unknown variable "x" can be easily determined. Now let us focus on the equation given in the question.
x/35 = 7
x = 35 * 7
x = 245
So we can find from the above deduction that the value of the unknown variable "x" is 245. The correct option among all the options given in the question is option "B". I hope the procedure is not complicated for you to clearly understand.

DEF has vertices P(-3,8) Q(-6, -4) R (1,1). if you reflect pqr across the x axis what will be the coordinates of the vertices

Rama09 [41]

P'(-3,-8) Q'(-6,4) R'(1,-1)

This should be correct! Hope I helped!
