Answer:

  • amberjack, 21 lbs
  • kingfish, 42 lbs
  • white marlin, 84 lbs
  • tarpon, 105 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let k, a, m, t represent the weights of the kingfish, amberjack, marlin, and tarpon, respectively. The problem statement tells us ...

  • k = 2a
  • m = 2k
  • t = 5a
  • k + a + m + t = 252

Using substitution, we can rewrite the last equation as ...

... (2a) + (a) + 2(2a) + (5a) = 252

... 12a = 252 . . . . . collect terms

... a = 21 . . . . . . . . .divide by 12

Then k = 2a = 42; m = 2k = 84; t = 5a = 105.

Identify the slope and y-intercept:<br> y = -1/5x+12<br> Slope:<br><br> y-intercept:
ipn [44]

Answer:

Slope: -1/5  y-intercept: 12

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -1/5x + 12

The equation given is the slope-intercept form, y= mx + b

In this equation, the m, or number in front of the x, is the slope of the line.

The b in the equation represents the y-intercept.

Therefore, according to the given equation, the slope is -1/5 and the y-intercept is 12.

If Professor Wilson found that the test scores of his students had a variance of 4.4, what is the standard deviation? Type a num
malfutka [58]

Answer:

The standard deviation will be: 2.1        

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that standard deviation is basically the square root of variance.

Using the formula to calculate the standard deviation

s=\sqrt{s^2}

As

  • The variance =  s² = 4.4

so the standard deviation can be calculated as:

standard deviation =\sqrt{s^2}

                                 =\sqrt{\left(4.4\right)^}

                                  =2.1

Therefore, the standard deviation will be: 2.1

An ellipse has a center at the origin, a vertex along the major axis at (0, 17), and a focus at (0, −8). Which equation represen
Marianna [84]
We know that
<span>Since the focus and vertex are above and below each other, rather than side by side, I know that this ellipse must be taller than it is wide.
</span>Then 
a²<span> will go with the </span>y<span> part of the equation
</span>Also, since the focus is 8 <span>units below the center, then </span><span>c = 8
</span>since the vertex is 17<span> units above, then </span><span>a = 17
</span>The equation b²<span> = a</span>²<span> – c</span>²<span> gives me
</span>b²=17²-8²-----> b²=225
the equation is
y²/a²+x²/b²=1------> y²/289+x²/225=1

the answer is
y²/289+x²/225=1

see the attached figure
