The equation fo a line that passe sthrout the point (x1,y1) and having a slope of m is
y-y1=m(x-x1)
given

point i (2,-3) and slope is 1/2
y-(-3)=1/2(x-2)
y+3=1/2(x-2)
y+3=1/2x-1
y=1/2x+2

y=1/2x+2 or y+3=1/2(x-2) or x-2y=-2

Linda goes water-skiing one sunny afternoon. After skiing for 15 min, she signals to the driver of the boat to take her back to

60 = a * (-30)^2
a = 1/15
So y = (1/15)x^2

abc)
The derivative of this function is 2x/15. This is the slope of a tangent at that point.
If Linda lets go at some point along the parabola with coordinates (t, t^2 / 15), then she will travel along a line that was TANGENT to the parabola at that point.
Since that line has slope 2t/15, we can determine equation of line using point-slope formula:
y = m(x-x0) + y0
y = 2t/15 * (x - t) + (1/15)t^2
Plug in the x-coordinate "t" that was given for any point.

d)
We are looking for some x-coordinate "t" of a point on the parabola that holds the tangent line that passes through the dock at point (30, 30).
So, use our equation for a general tangent picked at point (t, t^2 / 15):
y = 2t/15 * (x - t) + (1/15)t^2
And plug in the condition that it must satisfy x=30, y=30.
30 = 2t/15 * (30 - t) + (1/15)t^2
t = 30 ± 2√15 = 8.79 or 51.21
The larger solution does in fact work for a tangent that passes through the dock, but it's not important for us because she would have to travel in reverse to get to the dock from that point.
So the only solution is she needs to let go x = 8.79 m east and y = 5.15 m north of the vertex.

12% of children are nearsighted, but this condition often is not detected until they go to kindergarten. A school district tests

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

There is a 34.60% probability that 0 or 1 of them is nearsighted.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each children, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are nearsighted, or they are not. This means that we can solve this problem using the binomial probability distribution.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem, we have that:

12% of children are nearsighted. This means that $p = 0.12$ .

A school district tests all incoming kindergarteners' vision. In a class of 18 kindergarten students, what is the probability that 0 or 1 of them is nearsighted?

There are 18 students, so $n = 18$
