Answer:

d. y=5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line parallel to the x-axis will always be in the form y=b, where b is the y-intercept (where on the y-axis the line crosses). So, for y=5, the line crosses the y-axis when y is equal to 5.

The equation of a line parallel to the y-axis will always be in the form x=d, where d is the x-intercept (where on the x-axis the line crosses). So, for option a, x=5, it is a vertical line that crosses the x-axis when x is equal to 5. It is therefore not parallel to the x-axis.

Option b gives an equation that isn't for a linear relation entirely.

Linear equations are typically given in the form y=mx+b, where m is the slope of the line and b is, again, the y-intercept. Option c presents the equation of y=x, and this can be rewritten as y=1x+0. In other words, the slope of the line is 1 and it crosses the y axis when y is equal to 0. Lines that are parallel to the x-axis will always have a slope of 0, so therefore, this line is not parallel to the x-axis.

I hope this helps!

Mei does 6 problems in 18 minutes. How many can she complete in 12 minutes

Dmitriy789 [7]

Do cross multiplication

6 = x
18 12

Now cross multiply

(6)(12) = (18)(x)

72 = 18x

Divide both sides by 18

72 = 18x
18 18

4 = x

So tMei can complete 4 problems in 12 minutes.

The figure shown in the picture is a rectangular shape that is missing a triangular piece. To determine the area of the figure you have to determine the area of the rectangle and the area of the triangular piece, then you have to subtract the area of the triangle from the area of the rectangle.

The rectangular shape has a width of 12 inches and a length of 20 inches. The area of the rectangle is equal to the multiplication of the width (w) and the length (l), following the formula:

$A=w\cdot l$

For our rectangle w=12 in and l=20 in, the area is:

$\begin{gathered} A_{\text{rectangle}}=12\cdot20 \\ A_{\text{rectangle}}=240in^2 \end{gathered}$

The triangular piece has a height of 6in and its base has a length unknown. Before calculating the area of the triangle, you have to determine the length of the base, which I marked with an "x" in the sketch above.

The length of the rectangle is 20 inches, the triangular piece divides this length into three segments, two of which measure 8 inches and the third one is of unknown length.

You can determine the value of x as follows:

$\begin{gathered} 20=8+8+x \\ 20=16+x \\ 20-16=x \\ 4=x \end{gathered}$

x=4 in → this means that the base of the triangle is 4in long.

The area of the triangle is equal to half the product of the base by the height, following the formula:

$A=\frac{b\cdot h}{2}$

For our triangle, the base is b=4in and the height is h=6in, then the area is:

$\begin{gathered} A_{\text{triangle}}=\frac{4\cdot6}{2} \\ A_{\text{triangle}}=\frac{24}{2} \\ A_{\text{triangle}}=12in^2 \end{gathered}$

Finally, to determine the area of the shape you have to subtract the area of the triangle from the area of the rectangle:

$\begin{gathered} A_{\text{total}}=A_{\text{rectangle}}-A_{\text{triangle}} \\ A_{\text{total}}=240-12 \\ A_{\text{total}}=228in^2 \end{gathered}$

The area of the figure is 228in²

You want to go to graduate school, so you ask your math professor, Dr. Emmy Noether, for a letter of recommendation. You estimat

Answer:

$P(G) = 0.69$

$P(S | G) = 0.81$

$P(M|G') = 0.26$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told the

The probability of getting into getting into graduated school if you receive a strong recommendation is $P(G |S) = 0.80$

The probability of getting into getting into graduated school if you receive a moderately good recommendation is $P(G| M) = 0.60$

The probability of getting into getting into graduated school if you receive a weak recommendation is $P(G|W) = 0.05$

The probability of getting a strong recommendation is $P(S) = 0.7$

The probability of receiving a moderately good recommendation is $P(M) = 0.2$

The probability of receiving a weak recommendation is $P(W) = 0.1$

Generally the probability that you will get into a graduate program is mathematically represented as

$P(G) = P(S) * P(G|S) + P(M) * P(G|M) + P(W) * P(G|W)$

=> $P(G) = 0.7 * 0.8 + 0.2 * 0.6 + 0.1 * 0.05$

=> $P(G) = 0.69$

Generally given that you did receive an offer to attend a graduate program, what is the probability that you received a strong recommendation is mathematically represented as

$P( S|G) = \frac{ P(S) * P(G|S)}{ P(G)}$

=> $P(S|G) = \frac{ 0.7 * 0.8 }{0.69}$

=> $P(S | G) = 0.81$

Generally given that you didn't receive an offer to attend a graduate program the probability that you received a moderately good recommendation is mathematically represented as

$P(M|G') = \frac{ P(M) * (1- P(G|M))}{(1 - P(G))}$

$P(M| G') = \frac{ 0.2 * (1- 0.6)}{ (1 - 0.69)}$

$P(M|G') = 0.26$
