How do you do 6y^2-8y?

Oksanka [162]

Answer: 30 feet per second

========================================

x = diameter, y = speed of water

y varies inversely with respect to x, so, y = k/x for some constant k

If x = 0.6 and y = 5 pair up, then y = k/x turns into 5 = k/0.6 which solves to k = 3 when you multiply both sides by 0.6

So the equation y = k/x turns into y = 3/x

Now plug in the diameter x = 0.1 to find the speed to be...

y = 3/x

y = 3/0.1

y = 30 feet per second

Find the least squares regression equation using the school year (in number of years after 2000) for the input variable and the

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer-

The least squares regression equation using the school year (in number of years after 2000) for the input variable and the average cost (in thousands of dollars) for the output variable is "y=0.937x+12.765" .

Solution-

The independent variable / input variable= x = Number of years after 2000 ( = year-2000)

The dependent variable / output variable = y = Average cost in thousands of dollars

(The table has been attached herewith.)

To find the regression equation for a group of (x,y) points,

We have to calculate the slope and y-intercept, then we can put those values in the equation y = mx + c ( Slope - Intercept formula)

We know that,

$Slope=m=\frac{N\sum xy -\sum x\sum y}{N\sum x^{2}- (\sum x)^{2}}$

Putting the values from the table,

$m=\frac{(8 \times 1020.206)-(52 \times 150.894)}{(8 \times 3810)-(52^2)}$

( ∵ Instead of 150,894 we have to put 150.894 as we have find the line for year and thousands of dollars )

$\Rightarrow m =\frac{8161.648-7846.488}{3040-2704} =\frac{315.16}{336}=0.937$

Now, for the y-intercept,

$c =\frac{\sum y -m(\sum x)}{N}$

Putting the values,

$c=\frac{150.894-(52 \times 0.937)}{8}=\frac{102.125}{8}=12.765$

Now, putting the values of c and m, in the Slope-Intercept formula,

$y=0.937x+12.765$

Find a side of an equilateral triangle with a 12 inch altitude

saveliy_v [14]

Since the triangle is an equilateral triangle we know all of it's sides must be the same length, with that in mind the angles that make up the triangle must be equal as well. Knowing that a triangle's three interior angles make up 180 degrees we know that the size of each angle must be one third of this (as each angle must be equal).

180/3 = 60

then we may split the triangle along it's altitude into two special right triangles
more specifically two 30-60-90 triangles.

this means that the side with 30 degrees will be some value "x" where the side for 60 degrees will be related as it is "x*sqrt(3)" and the hypotenuse (which would be the side of the triangle) would be proportionally "2x"

this would mean that the altitude is the side associated with the 60 degree angle as such we can solve for "x" using this.

12= x*sqrt(3)
12/sqrt(3)=x
4sqrt(3)=x (simplifying the radical we get "x" equals 4 square root 3)

now we may solve for the side length of the triangle which is "2x"

2*4sqrt(3) -> 8sqrt (3)

eight square root of three is the answer.

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-6, -7) and is

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Product of slope of perpendicular lines = -1

6x + 5y = 30

Write this equation in y = mx + b form

5y = -6x + 30

y = $\frac{-6}{5}x+\frac{30}{5}$
