Answer:

y = - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a horizontal line parallel to the x- axis is

y = c

where c is the value of the y- coordinates the line passes through.

The line passes through (5, - 7 ) with y- coordinate - 7 , then

y = - 7 ← equation of line

If f(x) = 2x + 3 for all values of x, what is the value of f(-3)?

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

f(-3)= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function:

f(x) = 2x+3

and asked to find f(-3). Essentially, we want to find f(x) when x is equal to -3.

Therefore, we can substitute -3 for each x in the function.

f(x)= 2x+3 at x= -3

f(-3)= 2(-3) +3

Solve according to PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition and Subtraction

Multiply 2 and -3.

f(-3) = (2*-3) +3

f(-3)= (-6)+3

Add -6 and 3.

f(-3)= (-6+3)

f(-3)= -3

If f(x)= 2x+3, then<em> f(-3)= -3</em>

The water works commission needs to know the mean household usage of water by the residents of a small town in gallons per day.

valina [46]

Answer:

A sample of 179 is needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.85}{2} = 0.075$

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of $1 - \alpha$ .

That is z with a pvalue of $1 - 0.075 = 0.925$ , so Z = 1.44.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

A previous study found that for an average family the variance is 1.69 gallon?

This means that $\sigma = \sqrt{1.69} = 1.3$

If they are using a 85% level of confidence, how large of a sample is required to estimate the mean usage of water?

A sample of n is needed, and n is found for M = 0.14. So

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.14 = 1.44\frac{1.3}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.14\sqrt{n} = 1.44*1.3$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.44*1.3}{0.14}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.44*1.3}{0.14})^2$

$n = 178.8$

Rounding up

A sample of 179 is needed.

Need help with my homework

Volgvan

Answer:

$\displaystyle y=\frac{16-9x^3}{2x^3 - 3}$

$\displaystyle y=-\frac{56}{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equation Solving</u>

We are given the equation:

$\displaystyle x=\sqrt[3]{\frac{3y+16}{2y+9}}$

To make y as a subject, we need to isolate y, that is, leaving it alone in the left side of the equation, and an expression with no y's to the right side.

We have to make it in steps like follows.

Cube both sides:

$\displaystyle x^3=\left(\sqrt[3]{\frac{3y+16}{2y+9}}\right)^3$

Simplify the radical with the cube:

$\displaystyle x^3=\frac{3y+16}{2y+9}$

Multiply by 2y+9

$\displaystyle x^3(2y+9)=\frac{3y+16}{2y+9}(2y+9)$

Simplify:

$\displaystyle x^3(2y+9)=3y+16$

Operate the parentheses:

$\displaystyle x^3(2y)+x^3(9)=3y+16$

$\displaystyle 2x^3y+9x^3=3y+16$

Subtract 3y and $9x^3$ :

$\displaystyle 2x^3y - 3y=16-9x^3$

Factor y out of the left side:

$\displaystyle y(2x^3 - 3)=16-9x^3$

Divide by $2x^3 - 3$ :

$\mathbf{\displaystyle y=\frac{16-9x^3}{2x^3 - 3}}$

ii) To find y when x=2, substitute:

$\displaystyle y=\frac{16-9\cdot 2^3}{2\cdot 2^3 - 3}$

$\displaystyle y=\frac{16-9\cdot 8}{2\cdot 8 - 3}$

$\displaystyle y=\frac{16-72}{16- 3}$

$\displaystyle y=\frac{-56}{13}$

$\mathbf{\displaystyle y=-\frac{56}{13}}$
