Answer:

A. -12

Step-by-step explanation:

A graph shows the vertices of the feasible region to be (0, 6), (3, 0) and (0, -3). Of these, the one that minimizes f(x, y) is (0, -3). The minimum value is ...

f(0, -3) = 3·0 + 4(-3) = -12

Comment on the graph

Here, three regions overlap to form the region where solutions are feasible. By reversing the inequality in each of the constraints, the feasible region shows up on the graph as a white space, making it easier to identify. The corner of the feasible region that minimizes the objective function is the one at the bottom, at (0, -3).

Write the standard form of the equation of line through (3, -1) with a slope of -1.

kirill115 [55]

The standard form of a line: $Ax+By=C$ .

The point-slope form: $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

We have the point (3, -1) and the slope m = -1. Substitute:

$y-(-1)=-1(x-3)$

$y+1=-x+3$ add x to both sides

$x+y+1=3$ subtract 1 from both sides

$\boxed{x+y=2}$

If y=3x+1 were changed to y=x+1 how would the graph of the new function compare with the original?

Olegator [25]

F(x)=3x+1 (preimage)
g(x)=x+1 (image)
it is undergoing a reduction/compression with translation.
In general, a linear transformation is
g(x) = a*f(bx-h)+k
h=horizontal translation (right if h>0, left if h<0, note formula has minus sign)
k=vertical translation (up if k>0, down if k<0)
a=vertical stretching, (stretching if |a|>1, compression if |a|<1, also, if a<0, a reflection across the x-axis is performed)
b=horizontal stretching (|b|>0 compression, |b|<0 stretching, also, if b<0, a reflection across the y-axis is performed)

In this case,
g(x)=f(x/3), so it is a horizontal stretching.
Note that the y-intercept remains unchanged.

1. A given binomial distribution has a mean of 153.1 and a standard deviation of 18.2. Would a value of 187 be considered usual

Triss [41]

Answer:

Usual, because the result is between the minimum and maximum usual values.

Step-by-step explanation:

To identify if the value is usual or unusual we're going to use the Range rule of thumbs which states that most values should lie within 2 standard deviations of the mean. If the value lies outside those limits, we can tell that it's an unusual value.

Therefore:

Maximum usual value: μ + 2σ

Minimum usual value: μ - 2σ

In this case:

μ = 153.1

σ = 18.2

Therefore:

Maximum usual value: 189.5

Minimum usual value: 116.7

Therefore, the value of 187 lies within the limits. Therefore, the correct option is D. Usual, because the result is between the minimum and maximum usual values.

1. Which equation can you use to find the value of x?

Alika [10]

Answer:

It's a proportion.

2 is to x as 15 is to 9, or 2/x = 15/9.

Multiply the means and extremes

15x = 18

divide both sides by 15 to get x by itself.

x = 1.2
