Answer: The slope of the line formed by these two points is $\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the slope, we use the formula:

$Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

For the coordinates given:

$x_1=8\\y_1=3\\x_2=-4\\y_2=-6$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$Slope=\frac{(-6-3)}{(-4-8)}\\\\Slope=\frac{-9}{-12}\\\\Slope=\frac{3}{4}$

Hence, the slope of the line formed from these two coordinates is $\frac{3}{4}$

Select two polynomials that have a sum of 16n^3+13n^2+7n-10 A. 8n^3 - 5n +11n^2 - 5 B. 7n^2 + 8n - n^3 + 2 C. 15n^2 - 10n + 3n^3

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the polynomial

$16n^3+13n^2+7n-10$ ( 1 )

To solve this problem we have to take into account that only we can sum term with the same order in the variable. We have the polynomials

$8n_{3}-5n+11n^{2}-5\\7n^2 + 8n - n^3 + 2\\15n^2 - 10n + 3n^3 - 4\\2n^2 + 12n - 5 + 8n^3$

we can note (by summing term by term) that only the sum of the first and the fourth equation correspond to the given polynomial ( 1 ) of the problem. If we organize these polynomials (that is, write the equation down in a form where higher order appears first ) we have

$8n^3 +11n^2 - 5n - 5\\ 8n^3+2n^2 + 12n - 5\\$

and if we sum we obtain

$16n^3+13n^2+7n-10$

that is what we was looking for

I hope this is useful for you

16. You found a shortcut to school that saves 5 minutes off of taking the freeway. About 1 in every 10 trips

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

it saves 2.5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value of a random variable is the sum of products of possibilities and the probability of each.

Here, you have a probability of 0.9 of saving 5 minutes, and a probability of 0.1 of adding 20 minutes.

The expected value of the shortcut is ...

0.9(-5) +0.1(20) = -4.5 +2.0 = -2.5

The shortcut is expected to save 2.5 minutes on average.

_____

Additional comment

The probability of 0.9 comes from the 9 of 10 trips that result in a time saving.
