Answer:

The equation is;

y = -3/4x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form for the equation of a straight line is;

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

With respect to this question;

4/3 is the slope and 1 is the intercept

If two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is -1

Mathematically;

4/3 * m2 = -1

m2 = -3/4

So to find the equation of this second line, we use the point slope form

This is;

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-4 = -3/4(x + 8)

y- 4 = -3/4x + 8

y = -3/4x + 12

A farm grew 19.8 tons of wheat in 2013. The farm's wheat output increased by 9.8% from 2013 to 2014 and by 5.1% from 2014 to 201

7nadin3 [17]

Answer: Choice D

Explanation:

The increase of 9.8% rounds to 10% when rounding to the nearest ten

An increase of 10% would use the multiplier 1.1

Think of it like saying 1 + 0.10 = 100% + 10%

Similarly, the 5.1% rounds to 5% and an increase of this amount will use the multiplier 1.05

So if we started with 20 items, then 20(1.1)(1.05) is the expression that estimates an increase of 10% followed by an increase of 5%. The order doesn't matter (so you could increase by 5% first, then 10% later).

The equation having null set as its solution set is

KIM [24]

Answer:

B) x = e^x

Step-by-step explanation:

The graphs of y = e^x and y = x never intersect, so the solution set will be the empty (null) set for ...

x = e^x

_____

There is one intersection of y=x with cos(x) and with sin(x). There are an infinite number of solutions for x = tan(x).

A communications channel transmits the digits 0 and 1. However, due to static, the digit transmitted is incorrectly received wit

Answer:

The probability that the message will be wrong when decoded is 0.05792

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

To reduce the chance or error, we transmit 00000 instead of 0 and 11111 instead of 1.

We have 5 bits, message will be corrupt if at least 3 bits are incorrect for the same block.

The digit transmitted is incorrectly received with probability p = 0.2

The probability of receiving a digit correctly is q = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8

We want the probability that the message will be wrong when decoded.

This can be written as:

$P(X\geq3) =P(X=3)+P(X=4)+P(X=5)\\P(X\geq3) =\frac{5!}{3!2!}(0.2)^3(0.8)^{2}+\frac{5!}{4!1!}(0.2)^4(0.8)^{1}+\frac{5!}{5!}(0.2)^5(0.8)^0\\P(X\geq3) =0.05792$

Hence, the probability that the message will be wrong when decoded is 0.05792
