Answer:

Write the equation and go backwards.

N - 15 x -4 = -48

Instead of multiply divide and add instead of subtract

-48/-4=12

12+15=27

check if 27 is correct. 27-15=12 x -4 = -48

27 is your number. Hope this helps

Answer:

I'm not 100% sure but I believe the answer is 27

because -48/-4=12

12+15=27

A particle begins at point (1, 2) and is moving along the line segment joining (1, 2) to (3, 4). Initially, what is the rate of
Bumek [7]

Answer:

Initially, that is, at (1,2), the rate of increase of the function in the direction given = 0

Hence the function is neither increasing nor decreasing initially in the given direction.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x,y) = 2x² - y²

Rate of Change of the function = ∇f = (fₓ, fᵧ)

And we're told to find the rate of change in a particular direction = ∇f.û

We first obtain the unit vector in that direction, û

Direction = (3,4) - (1,2) = (2,2)

Uni vector = vector/magnitude

Vector = 2î + 2j

magnitude = √(2² + 2²) = √8 = 2 √2

(2î + 2j)/(2√2) = (1/√2)î + (1/√2)j = û

Unit vector in the direction = (1/√2, 1/√2)

f = 2x² - y²

At (1,2)

fₓ = ∂f/∂x = 4x = 4

fᵧ = ∂f/∂y = -2y = -4

∇f = (4,-4)

∇f.û = (4î - 4j).((1/√2)î + (1/√2)j) = (4/√2) - (4/√2) = 0

If it was positive, then the function is increasing, if it was negative, the function is decreasing. Zero means neither of them.

Hence the function is neither increasing nor decreasing initially in the given direction.

Please help me. math.
KiRa [710]

Answer:

y =293(1.06) ^x

y = 370  after 4 years

Step-by-step explanation:

If we are using the model for growth

y = a ( 1+b)^x

a is the initial population

b is  the increase rate

We can substitute the values into the equation

y =293 (1+.06) ^ x

y =293(1.06) ^x


Let x equal 4 for the 4 years

y = 293(1.06)^4

y=369.9

the sum of 2 numbers is 49. Twice the smaller number is 97 less than 3 times the larger number. What are the numbers?
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

let the larger and  smaller number be x and y respectively

first condition

x + y = 49

second condition

3x = 2y+97

3x-2y =97

Multiplying first condition by two and adding both equations

2x + 2y = 98

<u>3x -2y = 97</u>

5x =  195

x = 195/5 = 39

putting the value of x in

x + y = 49

y = 49 -39 = 10

again

Yahoo creates a test to classify emails as spam or not spam based on the contained words. This test accurately identifies spam (
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Let us assume that

Spam Email be S

And, test spam positive be T

Given that

P(S) = 0.3

P(\frac{T}{S}) = 0.95

P(\frac{T}{S^c}) = 0.05

Now based on the above information, the probabilities are as follows

i. P(Spam Email) is

= P(S)

= 0.3

P(S^c) =  1 - P(S)

= 1 - 0.3

= 0.7

ii. P(\frac{S}{T}) = \frac{P(S\cap\ T}{P(T)}

= \frac{P(\frac{T}{S}) . P(S) }{P(\frac{T}{S}) . P(S) + P(\frac{T}{S^c}) . P(S^c) }

= \frac{0.95 \times 0.3}{0.95 \times 0.3 + 0.05 \times 0.7}

= 0.8906

iii. P(\frac{S}{T^c}) = \frac{P(S\cap\ T^c}{P(T^c)}

= \frac{P(\frac{T^c}{S}) . P(S) }{P(\frac{T^c}{S}) . P(S) + P(\frac{T^c}{S^c}) . P(S^c) }

= \frac{(1 - 0.95)\times 0.3}{ (1 -0.95)0.95 \times 0.3 + (1 - 0.05) \times 0.7}

= 0.0221

We simply applied the above formulas so that the each part could come
