Answer:

m = 11/9

Step-by-step explanation:

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

= (-7 - 4) / (-3 - 6)

= -11/-9

= 11/9

Is the function continuous at x = -17
Pavlova-9 [17]

For a function to be continuous at an x-value, say -17, you need to make sure two things line up:

The limit from the left equals the limit from the right.

     \lim_{x \to -17^{-}} f(x) =  \lim_{x \to -17^{+}} f(x)

This limit equals the functions value.

    \lim_{x \to -17} f(x) = f(-17)

The left hand limit involves the first piece, f(x) = 20x + 1:

    \begin{aligned} \lim_{x \to -17^{-}} f(x) &=  \lim_{x \to -17^{-}} (20x+1)\\[0.5em]&=   20(-17)+1\\[0.5em]&=   -339\endaligned}

The right hand limit invovles the second piece, f(x) = -10x^2:

    \begin{aligned} \lim_{x \to -17^{+}} f(x) &=  \lim_{x \to -17^{+}} (-10x^2)\\[0.5em]&=   -10\cdot (-17)^2\\[0.5em]&=   -2890\endaligned}

Since the two one-sided limits don't match, the function is not continuous at x=-17.

a school cafeteria is considering new menu options. the manager puts a comment box jn the cafeteria where students can anonymous
viktelen [127]

Answer:

No, it is not a representative sample

Step-by-step explanation:

The sampling technique used above is more of a random sampling than a representative sampling. Reason is that;

A representative sample is referred to as a group or set selected from a larger population that satisfactorily represent the population in study in accordance to whatever criteria is under study.

The criteria could be age, sex, class, etc.

Another reason why it can't be considered as a representative sample is that, using representative sampling makes sure that all relevant types of people are included in your sample and that the right mix of people are interviewed.

In the question above, anybody can submit his or choice and number of submissions is not limited.

the line joining A(a, 3) to B(2 -3) is perpendicular to the line joining C(10,1) to B. The value of a is?
RideAnS [48]
Well, first off, let's find what is the slope of BC

\bf \begin{array}{lllll}&#10;&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\&#10;%   (a,b)&#10;B&({{ 2}}\quad ,&{{ -3}})\quad &#10;%   (c,d)&#10;C&({{ 10}}\quad ,&{{ 1}})&#10;\end{array}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;% slope  = m&#10;slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies &#10;\cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{1-(-3)}{10-2}\implies \cfrac{1+3}{10-2}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{4}{8}\implies \cfrac{1}{2}

now, a line perpendicular to that one, will have a negative reciprocal slope, thus

\bf \textit{perpendicular, negative-reciprocal slope for slope}\quad \cfrac{1}{2}\\\\&#10;slope=\cfrac{1}{{{ 2}}}\qquad negative\implies  -\cfrac{1}{{{ 2}}}\qquad reciprocal\implies - \cfrac{{{ 2}}}{1}\implies \boxed{-2}

now, we know the slope "m" of AB is -2 then, thus

\bf \begin{array}{lllll}&#10;&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\&#10;%   (a,b)&#10;A&({{ a}}\quad ,&{{ 3}})\quad &#10;%   (c,d)&#10;B&({{ 2}}\quad ,&{{ -3}})&#10;\end{array}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;% slope  = m&#10;slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies &#10;\cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{-3-3}{2-a}=\boxed{-2}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{-6}{2-a}=-2\implies -6=-4+2a\implies -2=2a\implies \cfrac{-2}{2}=a&#10;\\\\\\&#10;-1=a
