Answer:

B. y = -3/4x + 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Take two points from the graph, let's use (-2, 4) and (2, 1):

Find slope:

m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

= (1 - 4) / (2 - (-2))

= -3/4

Find y-intercept using slope above and anyone point:

y = mx + b

(1) = -3/4(2) + b

1 = -3/2 + b

b = 1 + 3/2

b = 5/2

Equation of line using m and b above:

y = mx + b

y = -3/4x + 5/2

In a chemical plant, 24 holding tanks are used for final product storage. Four tanks are selected at random and without replacem

Damm [24]

Answer:

a) P(A) = 0,4607 or P(A) = 46,07 %

b) P(B) = 0,7120 or 71,2 %

c) P(C) = 0,2055 or P(C) = 20,55 %

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use two concepts in solving this problem.

1.- The probability of an event (A) is for definition:

P(A) = Number of favorable events/ Total number of events FE/TE

2.- If A and B are complementary events ( the sum of them is equal to 1) then:

P(A) = 1 - P(B)

a) The total number of events is:

C ( 24,4) = 24! / 4! ( 24 - 4 )! ⇒ C ( 24,4) = 24! / 4! * 20!

C ( 24,4) = 24*23*22*21*20! / 4! * 20!

C ( 24,4) = 24*23*22*21/4*3*2

C ( 24,4) = 24*23*22*21/4*3*2 ⇒ C ( 24,4) = 10626

TE = 10626

Splitting the group of tanks in two 6 with h-v and 24-6 (18) without h-v

we get that total number of favorable events is the product of:

FE = 6* C ( 18, 3) = 6 * 18! / 3!*15! = 18*17*16*15!/15!

FE = 4896

Then P(A) ( 1 tank in the sample contains h-v material is:

P(A) = 4896/10626

P(A) = 0,4607 or P(A) = 46,07 %

b) P(B) will be the probability of at least 1 tank contains h-v

P(B) = 1 - P ( no one tank with h-v)

Again Total number of events is 10626

The total number of favorable events for the ocurrence of P is C (18,4)

FE = C (18,4) = 18! / 14!*4! = 18*17*16*15*14!/14!*4!

FE = 18*17*16*15/4*3*2 = 3060

Then P = 3060/10626

P = 0,2879

And the probability we are looking for is

P(B) = 1 - 0,2879

P(B) = 0,7120 or 71,2 %

c) We call P(C) the probability of finding exactly 1 tank with h-v and t-i

having 4 with t-i tanks is:

reasoning the same way but now having 4 with t-i (impurities) number of favorable events is:

FE = 6*4* C(14,2) = 24 * 14!/12!*2!

FE = 24* 14*13*12! / 12!*2

FE = 24*14*13/2 ⇒ FE = 2184

And again as the TE = 10626

P(C) = 2184/ 10626

P(C) = 0,2055 or P(C) = 20,55 %

7.5d = 2.5d Lin divided each side by 2.5d and Elena subtracted 2.5d from each side with both leads to the solution

dedylja [7]

Answer:

Elena's move will lead to the solution of the problem

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation 7.5d=2.5d, Lin divides each side by 2.5d, and Elena subtracts 2.5d from each side. Will both moves lead to the solution? Explain your reasoning

Given:

7.5d = 2.5d

Lin divides each side by 2.5d, Lin:

7.5d / 2.5d = 2.5d / 2.5d

3 = 1

This can not be the solution to the problem because 3 can not be Equal to 1

Elena subtracts 2.5d from each side

7.5d = 2.5d

7.5d - 2.5d = 2.5d - 2.5d

5d = 0

This can lead to the solution of the problem

Elena's move will lead to the solution of the problem

A box is being created out of a 15 inch by 10 inch sheet of metal. Equal-sized squares are cutout of the corners, then the sides

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Therefore the dimensions of the square should be 0.1528 inch by 0.1528 inch so, the box has largest volume.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A box is being created out of a 15 inches by 10 inches sheet of metal.

The length of the one side of the squares which are cut out of the each corners of the metal sheet be x.

The length of the metal box be = (15-2x) inches.

The width of the metal box be =(10-2x) inches

The height of the metal box be =x inches

Then, the volume of the metal box= length×width×height

=(15-2x)(10-2x)x cubic inches

=(150x-50x²+4x³) cubic inches

∴ V= 4x³-50x²+15x

Differentiating with respect to x

V'=12x²-100x+15

Again differentiating with respect to x

V''=24x-100

For maximum or minimum value, V'=0

12x²-100x+15=0

Apply quadratic formula $x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ , here a=12, b= -100 and c=15

$x=\frac{-(-100)\pm\sqrt{(-100)^2-4.12.15}}{2.12}$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{100\pm\sqrt{9280}}{2.12}$

$\Rightarrow x=0.1528,8.18$

For x= 8.18, The value of (15-2x) and (10-2x) will negative.

∴x=0.1528 .

Now, $V''|_{x=0.1528}=24(0.1528)-100$

∴At x=0.1528 inch, the volume of the metal box will be maximum.

Therefore the dimensions of the square should be 0.1528 inch by 0.1528 inch so, the box has largest volume.
