Segment AB falls on line 2x − 4y = 8. Segment CD falls on line 4x + 2y = 8. What is true about segments AB and CD? They are perp

endicular because they have the same slope of −2. They are perpendicular because they have slopes that are opposite reciprocals of −2 and one half. They are lines that lie exactly on top of one another because they have the same slope and the same y-intercept. They are lines that lie exactly on top of one another because they have the same slope and a different y-intercept

Answer:

They are perpendicular because they have slopes that are opposite reciprocals of −2 and one half.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve each equation for y and put it in the y = mx + b form. Then m is the slope, and we can tell if the lines are parallel or perpendicular or neither.

2x - 4y = 8

-4y = -2x + 8

<em>y = 1/2 x - 2; </em><em>m = 1/2</em>

4x + 2y = 8

2y = -4x + 8

<em>y = -2x + 4; </em><em>m = -2</em>

Now that both equations are in the slope-intercept form, we see that the slopes are 1/2 and -2.

The slopes are opposite reciprocals, -2 and 1/2, so the lines are perpendicular.

Answer: They are perpendicular because they have slopes that are opposite reciprocals of −2 and one half.

Answer:

They are perpendicular because they have slopes that are opposite reciprocals of −2 and one half.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because x = -2 and half of -2 is 1

when we use CD line and x2 we find 8x+4y=16 when added to 2x -4y=8 would equal 10x+4y = 2 1/2 xy = 16

When we use for AB line we see they are perpendicular 2 1/2 x 2 = 5 -4y = 8 shows y to be -2 and the 1/2 line leaves -2 1/2 and x also is 2 1/2.

Parallel Lines A line is parallel to y = 2x - 8 and intersects the point (-4,-1). What is the equation of this parallel line?
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

y= 2x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the line is parallel to y = 2x - 8 it has slope m= 2

The equation of the line passing through (-4,-1) is given by,

\frac{y - ( - 1)}{x - ( - 4)}  = m

\frac{y  + 1}{x + 4}  = 2

y  + 1 = 2(x + 4)

y + 1 = 2x + 8

y = 2x + 8 - 1

y = 2x + 7

What is the answer of a ?
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

<h2>2.2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the cosine law (look at the picture).

We have:

a=a\\b=4\\c=3\\\gamma=32^o

a^2=4^2+3^2-2(4)(3)\cos32^o

\cos32^o\approx0.848 → look at the second picture

a^2=16+9-24(0.848)\\\\a^2=25-20.352\\\\a^2=4.648\to a=\sqrt{4.648}\\\\a\approx2.2

How do I write an equation for each parabolas?
fredd [130]

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. In the first parabola it opens on the left and the equation of parabola can be expressed as,

              in vertical component <u>(y)² = (-) a (x-h)² + k</u>

cause  the parabola is horizontal and it opens on the left.

          2. In the second parabola the vertex opens on the right and hence the      equation cane be given as,

    in vertical component <u>(y)² = a (x-h)² + k</u>

cause the parabola is horizontal and opens on the right.

       3. the third equation is given as,

        in horizontal component<u> (x²) =</u> <u> (-) a (x-h)² + k</u>

since the parabola is vertical and opens down.

        4. the fourth equation is given as,

        in the horizontal component  <u>(x)² = a (x-h)² + k</u>

since the parabola is vertical and opens up.

An experiment to investigate the survival time in hours of an electronic component consists of placing the parts in a test cell
mixer [17]

Answer:

a) The sample mean is of 49 and the sample standard deviation is of 11.7.

b) The range of the true mean at 90% confidence level is of 9.62 hours.

c) The prediction interval, at a 90% confidence level, of it's failure time is between 39.38 hours and 58.62 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

Sample mean:

\overline{x} = \frac{34+40+46+49+61+64}{6} = 49

Sample standard deviation:

s = sqrt{\frac{(34-49)^2+(40-49)^2+(46-49)^2+(49-49)^2+(61-49)^2+(64-49)^2}{5}} = 11.7

The sample mean is of 49 and the sample standard deviation is of 11.7.

b)Determine the range of the true mean at 90% confidence level.

We have to find the margin of error of the confidence interval. Since we have the standard deviation for the sample, the t-distribution is used.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 6 - 1 = 5

90% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 5 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.95. So we have T = 2.0.150

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample. So

M = 2.0150\frac{11.7}{\sqrt{6}} = 9.62

The range of the true mean at 90% confidence level is of 9.62 hours.

(c)If a seventh sample is tested, what is the prediction interval (90% confidence level) of its failure time.

This is the confidence interval, so:

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 49 - 9.62 = 39.38 hours.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 49 + 9.62 = 58.62 hours.

The prediction interval, at a 90% confidence level, of it's failure time is between 39.38 hours and 58.62 hours.
