<span>x/9 = 8/36 </span>
<span>x = 9 * 8/36 [multiplying each side by 9] </span>
<span>x = 2 </span>
<span> </span>
<span>x/90 = 4.4/12 </span>
<span>x = 90 * 4.4/12 [multiplying each side by 90] </span>
<span>x = 33 </span>

<span>Both proportions should be expressed as lemon juice to water, or water to lemon juice. Either way would give a correct answer: </span>
<span>2/7 = j/28 [lemon juice to water] </span>
<span>8 = j [multiplying each side by 28] </span>

<span>7/2 = 28/j [water to lemon juice] </span>
<span>7j = 56 [multiplying each side by 2j] </span>
<span>j = 8 [dividing each side by 7] </span>


<span>The length proportion is 24 in to 32 ft. </span>
<span>The actual house is 24 ft tall. </span>
<span>Let x represent the doll house height, in inches. Then </span>
<span>x/24 = 24/32 </span>
<span>x = 24 * 24/32 = 18 inches</span>

What is the range of the function f(x) = |x| +2?
kykrilka [37]
Imagine the graph of f(x)=|x|. This can only output positive values (x \geq 0).

Then f(x)=|x|+2 is the same graph shifted upwards by two units meaning it can only output values bigger or equal to than 2. So the range is x \geq 2

What is the probability that more than twelve loads occur during a 4-year period? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

Given that an article suggests

that a Poisson process can be used to represent the occurrence of

structural loads over time. Suppose the mean time between occurrences of

loads is 0.4 year. a). How many loads can be expected to occur during a 4-year period? b). What is the probability that more than 11 loads occur during a

4-year period? c). How long must a time period be so that the probability of no loads

occurring during that period is at most 0.3?Part A:The number of loads that can be expected to occur during a 4-year period is given by:Part B:The expected value of the number of loads to occur during the 4-year period is 10 loads.This means that the mean is 10.The probability of a poisson distribution is given by where: k = 0, 1, 2, . . ., 11 and λ = 10.The probability that more than 11 loads occur during a

4-year period is given by:1 - [P(k = 0) + P(k = 1) + P(k = 2) + . . . + P(k = 11)]= 1 - [0.000045 + 0.000454 + 0.002270 + 0.007567 + 0.018917 + 0.037833 + 0.063055 + 0.090079 + 0.112599 + 0.125110+ 0.125110 + 0.113736]= 1 - 0.571665 = 0.428335 Therefore, the probability that more than eleven loads occur during a 4-year period is 0.4283Part C:The time period that must be so that the probability of no loads occurring during that period is at most 0.3 is obtained from the equation:Therefore, the time period that must be so that the probability of no loads

occurring during that period is at most 0.3 is given by: 3.3 years

PLZ ANSWER QUICKLY AND THEN PLZ EXPLAIN HOW TO DO IT
Andrews [41]

Hello!

The slope intercept form is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

First, let's find the y-intercept. This is where the line hits the y-axis. Therefore, it hits at 4 on the y-axis, so our y-intercept is 4.

To find the slope, let's find 2 points on our line. Let's use (0,4) and (2,5). We divide the difference in the y-values by the difference in the x-values as shown below.

\frac{5-1}{2-0} =\frac{4}{2} =2

Therefore, our slope is 2.

Now we plug these values into our equation.

y=2x+4

I hope this helps!
