Answer: -20

Step 1: Write an equation

To start off, we will need to write an equation. To do so, we will use the equation for slope, using rise/run. M represents the slope.

M= rise/ run

Step 2: Substitute information

Now that we know the equation, we can substitute information given to us in the question. Let’s start by replacing m with -5, as we are told that this is the slope.

M= rise/ run
-5= rise/ run

Great! Now let’s change the run. The run is said to be 4, so we will put this on the bottom of the fraction, under the rise.

-5= rise/ run
-5= rise/4

Step 3: Solve

Now that we have our final equation, we can solve for the rise. We can do so by getting rise alone on the right side, by undoing the division. Let’s multiply each term by 4, isolating rise in the process.

-5= rise/4
-5 (4)= rise/4 (4)
-20= rise

Step 4: Check your answer

For our rise, we got -20 as an answer. Let’s check if this is correct by getting the original equation, and substituting all of our information.

M= rise/ run
-5= -20/4
-5= -5

This is correct! The rise is -5. Hope this helps! Comment below for more questions.

If f(x)=(1/8)(8^x) what is f(3)?<br> A. 1/512<br> B. 1/64<br> C. 512<br> D. 64
cestrela7 [59]
Hi there!

Let's solve this problem step by step!
f(x) =  \frac{1}{8} (8 {}^{x})

To find f(3) we must substitute x = 3 into the formula.
f(3) =  \frac{1}{8} (8 {}^{3} )

Now we use PEMDAS (Parenthesis, exponents, multiply, divide, add, subtract) to find our answer.

Work out the exponents inside the parenthesis first.
f(3) =  \frac{1}{8}  \times 512

And finally multiply.
f(3) =  \frac{1}{8}  \times  \frac{512}{1}  =  \frac{512}{8}  = 64

Hence, the answer is D. 64.

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

μ = 235.38

σ = 234.54

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the table is as follows:

\left[\begin{array}{cc}Savings&Frequency\\\$0-\$199&339\\\$200-\$399&86\\\$400-\$599&55\\\$600-\$799&18\\\$800-\$999&11\\\$1000-\$1199&8\\\$1200-\$1399&3\end{array}\right]

This is an example of grouped data, where a range of values is given rather than a single data point.  First, find the total frequency.

n = 339 + 86 + 55 + 18 + 11 + 8 + 3

n = 520

The mean is the expected value using the midpoints of each range.

μ = (339×100 + 86×300 + 55×500 + 18×700 + 11×900 + 8×1100 + 3×1300) / 520

μ = 122400 / 520

μ = 235.38

The variance is:

σ² = [(339×100² + 86×300² + 55×500² + 18×700² + 11×900² + 8×1100² + 3×1300²) − (520×235.38²)] / (520 − 1)

σ² = 55009.7

The standard deviation is:

σ = 234.54

(03.01 LC)<br><br> What is the length of leg y of the right triangle? (1 point)
EastWind [94]

Answer:

<h2>A</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

What is the length of leg y of the right triangle?

A right triangle with hypotenuse 26 and legs 24 and y

  • 10
  • 14
  • 24
  • 26

We need to use the Pythagorean Theorem, where h=26 and x=24,

h^{2} =x^{2} +y^{2}\\ 26^{2}=24^{2}+y^{2}\\y=\sqrt{26^{2}-24^{2}}\\ y=\sqrt{676-576}\\ y=\sqrt{100}\\ y=10

Therefore, the right answer is A. The length of the missing leg is 10 units.

The volume of a cone is 180 in3. find a function that models the height h of the cone in terms of its radius r.
12345 [234]

volume of a cone = (1/3)*pi*r^2*h
180 = pi(r^2)h
180/pi(r*2) = h
