Answer:

y-3 = -7/8(x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line given two points is given by

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (3 - -4)/(-1 -7)

= (3+4) / (-1-7)

= 7/ -8

= -7/8

The point slope form of a line is

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y - 3 = -7/8( x - -1)

y-3 = -7/8(x+1)

First, lets find the slope.

Slope Formula: y2-y1/x2-x1

= 3-(-4)/-1-7

= 7/-8

= -7/8

Point slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)

We can use one point to substitute y1 and x1 with. We can also substitute m with the slope. Lets use the point (7,-4) and the slope of -7/8 to solve.

y - (-4) = -7/8(x - 7)

y + 4 = -7/8(x - 7)

Best of Luck!

Find the number of terms in this polynomial 7b^7

shtirl [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of terms in the polynomial;

7b^7

The number of terms in this polynomial is simply 1

Since the two are together, they are treated as a single term in the polynomial.

Take for example a quadratic polynomial;

3x^2 + 2x + 1

This is a polynomial with 3 terms.

All multiplications are treated as a single unit.

This is the case in terms of what we have too

The average high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol level of adult females is 53 milligrams per deciliter. You want to determ

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

$t=\frac{54.1-53}{\frac{1.78}{\sqrt{12}}}=2.14$

$df = n-1= 12-1=11$

$p_v = P(t_{11}>2.14) =0.0278$

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided

$\bar X=54.1$ represent the sample mean in mg per deciliter of cholesterol level

$s=1.78$ represent the sample standard deviation

$n=12$ sample size

$\mu_o =53$ represent the value that we want to test

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)

System of hypothesis

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is higher than 53 mg per deciliter, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu \leq 53$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu > 53$

The statistic is given by:

$t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

Calculate the statistic

Replacing into the formula we got:

$t=\frac{54.1-53}{\frac{1.78}{\sqrt{12}}}=2.14$

P-value

We need to find first the degrees of freedom:

$df = n-1= 12-1=11$

The p value for this case since we have a right tailed test is:

$p_v = P(t_{11}>2.14) =0.0278$
