Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

slope equation is y2-y1/x2-x1

insert points: -30-(-10)/-2-3

simplify: -30+10/-5

simplify further: -20/-5

negatives cancel because there cannot be both on top, making it positive: 20/5

divide: 20/5=4

$\huge\text{$m=\boxed{4}$}$

Hey there! Start with the slope formula, where $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ are the two known points.

$\begin{aligned}m&=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\&=\frac{-30-(-10)}{-2-3}\end{aligned}$

Simplify.

$\begin{array}{c|l}\textbf{Solving}&\textbf{Reason}\\\cline{1-2}\\m=\dfrac{-30+10}{-2-3}&x-(-y)=x+y\\\\m=\dfrac{-20}{-5}&\text{Addition and subtraction}\\\\m=\dfrac{20}{5}&\text{The negatives cancel out}\\\\m=\dfrac{4}{1}&\text{Divide the numerator and denominator by $5$}\\\\m=\boxed{4}&\dfrac{x}{1}=x\end{aligned}$

A sheet of paper 90 cm-by-66 cm is made into an open box (i.e. there's no top), by cutting x-cm squares out of each corner and f

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

$26 - \sqrt{181}$ cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the box is:

V = height * length * width

V = x*(66 - 2*x)*(90 - 2*x)

V = (66*x - 2*x^2)*(90 - 2*x)

V = 5940*x - 132*x^2 - 180*x^2 + 4*x^3

V = 4*x^3 - 312*x^2 + 5940*x

where x is the length of the sides of the squares, in cm.

The mathematical problem is :

Maximize: V = 4*x^3 - 312*x^2 + 5940*x

subject to:

x > 0

2*x < 66 <=> x < 33

In the maximum, the first derivative of V, dV/dx, is equal to zero

dV/dx = 12*x^2 - 624*x + 5940

From quadratic formula

$x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4(a)(c)}}{2(a)}$

$x = \frac{624 \pm \sqrt{(-624)^2 - 4(12)(5940)}}{2(12)}$

$x = \frac{624 \pm \sqrt{104256}}{24}$

$x = \frac{624 \pm \sqrt{2^6*3^2*181}}{24}$

$x = \frac{624 \pm 8*3*\sqrt{181}}{24}$

$x_1 = \frac{624 + 24*\sqrt{181}}{24}$

$x_1 = 26 + \sqrt{181}$

$x_2 = \frac{624 - 24*\sqrt{181}}{24}$

$x_2 = 26 - \sqrt{181}$

But $x_1 > 33$ , then is not the correct answer.

Assume that you have a sample of n 1 equals 6, with the sample mean Upper X overbar 1 equals 50, and a sample standard deviati

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

$t=\frac{(50 -38)-(0)}{7.46\sqrt{\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{5}}}=2.656$

$df=6+5-2=9$

$p_v =P(t_{9}>2.656) =0.0131$

Since the p value is higher than the significance level given of 0.01 we don't have enough evidence to conclude that the true mean for group 1 is significantly higher thn the true mean for the group 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given

$n_1 =6$ represent the sample size for group 1
