Hello:<span>
the equation is : y = ax+b
the slope is a : a×(4/3) = -1......( perpendicular to a line with a slope of   4/3)            because :     4x-3y =8...y=(4/3)x-8/3    )     </span>

<span>
a = -3/4         y=(-3/4)x+b
the line that passes through (3, -2) :- 2 = (-3/4)(3)+b
b =1/4
<span> the equation is :  y  = (-3/4)x+1/4</span></span>

find an equation of the tangent line to the curve at the given point. y=sqrt(x) (1,1) Ive never been good with these equations a
Nady [450]
Equation of a tangent line of a curve is:
y- y0 = f´ (x0) (x - x0 ).   In this case: x0=1, y0=1
f´(x)=\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x} }(Derivation)
f´(x0)=\frac{1}{2}
y - 1 = 1/2 ( x - 1 )
y - 1 = 1/2 x - 1/2
y = 1/2 x - 1/2 + 1
y =\frac{1}{2}x+ \frac{1}{2}

A pizza delivery shop averages 20 minutes per delivery with a standard deviation of 4 minutes. What is the probability that a pi
Orlov [11]
We have the mean, μ = 20 and the standard deviation, σ = 4

X ≈ N(20, 4²)

We want P(X<15)

Standardising gives

P(X<15) = P(Z<\frac{15-20}{4})
P(X<15) = P(Z< -1.25) ⇒ When the value of the z-score is negative, we will read the value of z<1.25 on the z-table then subtract the answer from 1

P(X<15) = 1 - P(Z<1.25)
P(X<15) = 1 - 0.8944
P(X<15) = 0.1056

Hence, the probability that pizza takes less than 15 minutes to be delivered is 0.1056 = 10.56%
