find the slope of the line through the given pair of points, if possible. Based on the slope, indicate whether the line through

the points rises from left to right, falls from left to right, is horizontal, or is vertical (-7,-9) and (-5,-8)

Easy peasy
slope=(change in rise)/(change in run)
aka
slope between points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is
slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) since y is rise/up and x is run/leftright

points

(-7,-9) and (-5,-8)
x1=-7
y1=-9
x2=-5
y2=-8
remember minusing a negative means addin a positive
slope=(-8-(-9))/(-5-(-7))=
(-8+9)/(-5+7)=1/2

slope=1/2

positive slopes go from bottom left to top right

since it is less than 1
it is more horizonal than vertical

Factor f(x) = 15x^3 - 15x^2 - 90x completely and determine the exact value(s) of the zero(s) and enter them as a comma separated

Illusion [34]

Answer:

$x=-2,0,3$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a function $f(x)=15x^3-15x^2-90x$ . We are asked to find the zeros of our given function.

To find the zeros of our given function, we will equate our given function by 0 as shown below:

$15x^3-15x^2-90x=0$

Now, we will factor our equation. We can see that all terms of our equation a common factor that is $15x$ .

Upon factoring out $15x$ , we will get:

$15x(x^2-x-6)=0$

Now, we will split the middle term of our equation into parts, whose sum is $-1$ and whose product is $-6$ . We know such two numbers are $-3\text{ and }2$ .

$15x(x^2-3x+2x-6)=0$

$15x((x^2-3x)+(2x-6))=0$

$15x(x(x-3)+2(x-3))=0$

$15x(x-3)(x+2)=0$

Now, we will use zero product property to find the zeros of our given function.

$15x=0\text{ (or) }(x-3)=0\text{ (or) }(x+2)=0$

$15x=0\text{ (or) }x-3=0\text{ (or) }x+2=0$

$\frac{15x}{15}=\frac{0}{15}\text{ (or) }x-3=0\text{ (or) }x+2=0$

$x=0\text{ (or) }x=3\text{ (or) }x=-2$

Therefore, the zeros of our given function are $x=-2,0,3$ .

he temperature at any random location in a kiln used in the manufacture of bricks is normally distributed with a mean of 925 and

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

The proportion of bricks that crack during the firing process is 0.0001 = 0.01%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean of 925 and a standard deviation of 60 degrees.

This means that $\mu = 925, \sigma = 60$

The proportion of bricks that crack during the firing process is closest to

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 1150. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{1150 - 925}{60}$

$Z = 3.75$

$Z = 3.75$ has a pvalue of 0.9999

1 - 0.9999 = 0.0001

The proportion of bricks that crack during the firing process is 0.0001 = 0.01%.
