Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean of a group of values is calculated as

mean = $\frac{sum}{count}$

Given 5 numbers with a mean of 12, then

$\frac{sum}{5}$ = 12 ( multiply both sides by 5 )

sum = 60

let the number removed be x , then

$\frac{60-x}{4}$ = 11 ( multiply both sides by 4 )

60 - x = 44 ( subtract 60 from both sides )

- x = - 16 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

x = 16

The number removed was 16

The co-ordinate of point P is (x+3) and Q is (x-3). Then find d(P,Q). If coordinate of R is (x+2). Find d(Q,R).

kari74 [83]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a distance between two points A(a) and B(b):

We have P(x + 3), Q(x- 3), R(x + 2).

Substitute:

d(P, Q) = |(x - 3) - (x + 3)| = |x - 3 - x - 3| = |-6| = 6

d(Q, R) = |(x + 2) - (x - 3)| = |x + 2 - x - (-3)| = |2 + 3| = |5| = 5

The focus of a parabola is located at (0,–2). The directrix of the parabola is represented by y = 2. Which equation represents t

Archy [21]

Answer:

$\boxed{x^2=-8y}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(a,b)\ is \ the\ focus\\y=k\ is \ the\ directrice\\\\Formula\ to\ use:\ y=\dfrac{(x-a)^2}{2(b-k)} +\dfrac{b+k}{2} \\\\Here: \ a=0,\ b=-2, \ k=2\\\\y=\dfrac{(x-0)^2}{2(-2-2)} +\dfrac{-2+2}{2} \\\\so\ y=-\dfrac{x^2}{8} \\\\or\ x^2=-8y$

To transmit information on the internet, large files are broken into packets of smaller sizes. Each packet has 1,500 bytes of in

erastova [34]

Answer: $x= 187.5p$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : An equation relating packets to bytes of information : $b = 1,500p$ where<em> p</em> represents the number of packets and <em>b</em> represents the number of bytes of information.

1 byte = 8 bits

Let x= Number of bits such that 1 b = 8x

Put b = 8x in given equation , we get

$8x=1500p$

Divide both sides by 8 , we get

$x= 187.5p$

Hence, the equation represent the relationship between the number of packets and the number of bits : $x= 187.5p$

PLEASE SOLVE 20 POINTS

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

1. Not possible. The slope of such a line is undefined. Its equation is x=7.

2. y = 3x -2

3. The slope is undefined. (The line is a vertical line.)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The y-axis is a vertical line. Computing the slope of such a line involves division by zero, an operation that is undefined. Since the line is parallel to the y-axis, there is no y-intercept.

In slope-intercept form, the equation would be useless:

... y = (undefined)x + (no such value)

If your point is supposed to be (7, 8)*, the more useful equation is the "standard form" equation:

... x = 7

2. The slope of the perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of this:

... m = -1/(-1/3) = 3

In point-slope form, the equation of the perpendicular line through the given point is ...

... y = 3(x -2) +4

... y = 3x -2 . . . . . . . . simplified to slope-intercept form

3. The slope is computed from ...

... m = (change in y)/(change in x) = (-3 -4)/(-1 -(-1)) = -7/0 = undefined

The slope is undefined. This tells you the line is a vertical line. Its location is the x-value of the points, ...

... x = -1

_____

* If your point is really (77, 88), then the line has equation x = 77.
