Answer:

y=-15x+900

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of minutes and y be the quantity of sand in the hour glass.

After 3 minutes,

Quantity of sand in the top half=855 ml

After 10 minutes , quantity of sand in the top half=750 ml

We have to find the equation which represents this situation.

Now, we get two points (3,855) and (10,750)

Slope formula :m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

By using slope formula

Slope  =\frac{750-855}{10-3}=\frac{-105}{7}=-15

The equation of  a line with slope m passing through the point (x_1,y_1)

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

The equation of line with slope -15 and passing through the point (3,855) is give by

y-855=-15(x-3)

y-855=-15x+45

y=-15x+45+855=-15x+900

Hence, the equation represents this situation is given by

y=-15x+900

An hourglass is turned over with the top part filled with sand. after 3 minutes, there are 855 ml of sand in the top half. after 10 minutes, there are 750 ml of sand in the top half. This can be represents a two points ( 3, 855) and (10, 750) . using this to solve the slope m = (750-855)/(10-3) = -15. And using one point the equation is y = -15x + 900.

Which equation represents a line that passes through (2, –0.5) and has a slope of 3?
Kitty [74]
A slope of 3 means the gradient is 3 so we get y=3x+c as derived from the linear formula. we then sub in x=2 and y=-0.5. this gives us c=-6.5.

The equation would be y=3x-6.5

I think this is right.

What is f(0)?<br> 4<br> 5<br> 6<br> 7
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer with a Step-by-step explanation: We are given the table as:

x    f(x)

0     6

2      7

4      0

7      5

i.e. corresponding to different values of x we are given the values of f(x)

we have to find the value of f(0)

i.e. we have to find the value of f(x) when x=0

As we can see from the table the value of f(x) at x=0 is 6

Hence, Correct option is:

C) 6

Which equation, when graphed, has x-intercepts at (2, 0) and (4, 0) and a y-intercept of (0, –16)?
vova2212 [387]
f(x)= -2 (x - 2) ( x - 4)

if x=2 ⇒ f(x)=y=0 ⇒ graph of f(x) intercept x axis in (2,0)
if x=4 ⇒ f(x)=y=0 ⇒ graph of f(x) intercept x axis in (4,0)
if x=0 ⇒f(x)= -2 *(-2)*(-4)= - 16 ⇒ graph of f(x) intercept y axis in (0,- 16)

⇒ f(x)= -2 (x - 2) ( x - 4) is the answer

Question 13 pts
oee [108]

Answer:

1. 68%

2. 50%

3. 15/100

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to use the empirical rule

1. % waiting between 15 and 25 minutes

From what we have in the question;

15 is 1 SD below the mean

25 is 1 SD above the mean

So practically, we want to calculate the percentage between;

1 SD below and above the mean

According to the empirical rule;

1 SD above the mean we have 34%

1 SD below, we have 34%

So between 1 SD below and above, we have

34 + 34 = 68%

2. Percentage above the mean

Mathematically, the percentage above the mean according to the empirical rule for the normal distribution is 50%

3. Probability that someone waits less than 5 minutes

Less than 5 minutes is 3 SD below the mean

That is 0.15% according to the empirical rule and the probability is 15/100
