Step-by-step explanation:

-46 - 8x > 22: Original problem

-46 - 8x + 46 > 22 + 46: Bringing all the constants to one side of the inequality

-8x > 68: Simplification

x < 68/-8 : You have to flip the inequality symbol because you are dividing by

a negative number..

x< -8.5 : The answer!!!!!

Checking your answer....

-46 - 8x > 22 : Original problem

-46 - 8(-8.5) > 22 : Substitution

-46 + 68 > 22 : Simplification

22 > 22 : Answer check successful!!!

(22 is not greater than 22 but we know that the answer cannot be -8.5 because the inequality states that x is less -8.5. This process was only for the purpose of checking not for the purpose of proving)

Hope this helps!!!!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The key to answering this is to know that the only time you'll change the direction of the sign is when you multiply or divide by a negative number.

-46 - 8x > 22

-8x > 22 + 46

-8x > 68

x < 68/-8 (we divided by -8 so the inequality changed direction)

x < -17/2

Answer:

Check the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X denotes steel ball and Y denotes diamond

$\bar{x_1}$ = 1/9( 50+57+......+51+53)

=530/9

=58.89

$\bar{x_2}$ = 1/9( 52+ 56+....+ 51+ 56)

=543/9

=60.33

difference = d =(60.33- 58.89)

=1.44

$s^2=1/n\sum xi^2 - n/(n-1)\bar{x}^2$

s12 = 1/9( 502+572+......+512+532) -9/8 (58.89)2

=31686/8 - 9/8( 3468.03)

=3960.75 - 3901.53

=59.22

s1 = 7.69

s22 = 1/9( 522+ 562+....+ 512+ 562) -9/8 (60.33)2

=33295/8 - 9/8 (3640.11)

=4161.875 - 4095.12

=66.75

s2 =8.17

sample standard deviation for difference is

s= $\sqrt{[(n1-1)s_1^2+ (n2-1)s_2^2]/(n1+n2-2)}$

= $\sqrt{[(9-1)*59.22+ (9-1)*66.75]/(9+9-2)}$

= $\sqrt{1007.76/16}$

=7.93

sd = $s*\sqrt{(1/n1)+(1/n2)}$

= $7.93*\sqrt{(1/9)+(1/9)}$

=7.93* 0.47

=3.74

For 95% confidence level $Z (\alpha /2)$ =1.96

confidence interval is

$d\pm Z(\alpha /2)*s_d$

=(1.44 - 1.96* 3.75 , 1.44+1.96* 3.75)

=(1.44 - 7.35 , 1.44 + 7.35)

=(-2.31, 8.79)

There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the two indenters produce different hardness readings.

Answer:

<1= 135 degrees

<4= 135 degrees

<6= 45 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because angle two and 6 are corresponding angles. you would then subtract 180 from 45 because angle 6 and 4 are consecutive angles. This would give you 135 degrees. Then angle 1 and angle 4 are verticla agles, making them equal to each other.

Find the slope of a line perpendicular to y = -2/5x + 4/5

valkas [14]

To find a perpendicular line, you need to find the negative reciprocal of the slope.

-2/5 flips into -5/2
Since -2/5 is negative, -5/2 turns positive, so 5/2.

Therefore, the slope of a line perpendicular to Y = -2/5x + 4/5 is 5/2
