Well, you really need to think on this one. The shorter piece can be four inches long. See, when you multiply four by two, you get eight. And when you add four and eight together, you get twelve inches, which is one foot.

The stick is L feet long


the2 pieces aer x and y
x=2y
x+y=L
sub 2y for x
2y+y=L
3y=L
divide by 3
y=L/3

the shorter piece is L/3 feet long if the original stick is L feet long

Graph the line y=−3x+b if it is known that the graph goes through point: B(5,2)
Nuetrik [128]

Try this solution:

1. In order to built the line required in the condition it need to determine its equation.

Using the coordinates of point B (5;2), if to substitute them into the given equation: 2=-3*5+b, ⇒ b=17. It means, that the equation of the line required in the condition is y= -3x+17.

2. The graph is in the attachment; point (0;17) is the intersection point of Y-axis and the line.

A line passes through (2, 8) and (4, 12). Which equation best represents the line? y = 1 over 2 x 6 y = 2x 7 y = 2x 4 y = 1 over
nalin [4]

Equation of the line is a way to represent the a line in a equation or algebraic from which is the set of the line thorough witch the line passes.

Given information-

The point through which the line passes are (2, 8) and (4, 12).

To find the equation of the line, the standard form of the equation of the line must be obtained.

<h3>Equation of the line</h3>

Equation of the line is a way to represent the a line in a equation or algebraic from which is the set of the line thorough witch the line passes.

The standard form of the equation of the line can be given as,

(y-y_1)=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} (x-x_1)

Where (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) are the points through which the line passes.

Thus the equation of the line which passes through the points (2, 8) and (4, 12) can be given as,

(y-8) &=\dfrac{12-8}{4-2} (x-2)\\(y-8) &=\dfrac{4}{2} (x-2)\\2y-16 &=4x-8\\2y &=4x-8+16\\

Divide by 2 both the side,

y=2x-4

Thus the equation of the line which passes through the points (2, 8) and (4, 12) is,

y=2x-4

Hence the option 3 is the correct option.

In the figure below, if segment BC = 12 cm and segment AD = 2x + 4, then x = 5.
shtirl [24]
The answer would be false.

Since the figure above is a square, that would mean all sides are equal size. If x=5, that would make segment AD bigger than segment BC.

A local bottler in Hawaii wishes to ensure that an average of 22 ounces of passion fruit juice is used to fill each bottle. In o
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

(A)  H_0 : μ = 22 ; H_A : μ ≠ 22

(B) Value of the test statistic = -2.69

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a local bottler in Hawaii wishes to ensure that an average of 22 ounces of passion fruit juice is used to fill each bottle. He takes a random sample of 65 bottles. The mean weight of the passion fruit juice in the sample is 21.54 ounces. Assume that the population standard deviation is 1.38 ounce.

We have to test the accuracy of the bottling process.

(A) Let, NULL HYPOTHESIS, H_0 : \mu = 22 ounces  {means that an average of 22 ounces of passion fruit juice is used to fill each bottle}

ALTERNATE HYPOTHESIS, H_A : \mu \neq 22 ounces  {means that an average of 22 ounces of passion fruit juice is used to fill each bottle}

The test statistics that will be used here is One-sample z-test;

             T.S. = \frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ N(0,1)

where, \bar X = sample mean weight of the passion fruit juice = 21.54 ounces

            \sigma = population standard deviation = 1.38 ounces

            n = sample of bottles = 65

(B) So, <u>test statistics</u> =  \frac{21.54-22}{\frac{1.38}{\sqrt{65} } }

                                  = -2.69

Hence, the value of test statistics is -2.69.
