Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of a linear equation is given by :

y = mx +b

Where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

(a) y = 2x - 3

It is in the form of a linear equation.

Standard form, y =2x+(-3)

(b) The equation is 4x = 2y

2y = 4x

y = 2x + 0

It is in the form of a linear equation with slope of 2 and y-intercept of 0.

The foot of a ladder is placed 6 feet from a wall if the top of the ladder rests 8 feet up on the wall how long is the ladder?

Vlada [557]

Try to imagine this word problem, there is a wall and a ladder leaning against it, the space from the bottom of the ladder is labeled 6 and the length of the height the ladder reaches on the wall is 8. Imagine this as a right triangle now, where the length of the ladder is the hypotenuse and the length of the legs of the triangle is 6 and 8. Because we know this, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, a^2+b^2=c^2
We then plug in the values and you get 6^2+8^2=c^2
When you simplify, you get 36+64=c^2 which is c^2=100
When you solve for c, you get c=10 which would be the length of the ladder :)

The manager wants to advertise that anybody who isn't served within a certain number of minutes gets a free hamburger. But she d

aksik [14]

Answer:

The number of minutes advertisement should use is found.

x ≅ 12 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

(MISSING PART OF THE QUESTION: AVERAGE WAITING TIME = 2.5 MINUTES)

For such problems, we can use probability density function, in which probability is found out by taking integral of a function across an interval.

Probability Density Function is given by:

$f(t)=\left \{ {{0 ,\-t$

Consider the second function:

$f(t)=\frac{e^{-t/\mu}}{\mu}\\$

Where Average waiting time = μ = 2.5

The function f(t) becomes

$f(t)=0.4e^{-0.4t}$

The manager wants to give free hamburgers to only 1% of her costumers, which means that probability of a costumer getting a free hamburger is 0.01

The probability that a costumer has to wait for more than x minutes is:

$\int\limits^\infty_x {f(t)} \, dt= \int\limits^\infty_x {}0.4e^{-0.4t}dt$
