madreJ [45]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(-3 -5)/(9+5)= -8/14= -4/7

y - 5 = -4/7(x + 5)

y - 35/7 = -4/7x - 20/7

y = -4/7x + 15/7

Delia measured her bathtub to be 2 meters long. What is an equivalent measurement?
allochka39001 [22]


An equivalent measurement to 2 meters is 200 cm. Since 1 meter is equivalent to 100 cm, multiply both of them by two. So, your answer is - 2 meters is equivalent to 200 cm.

Hope it helps :)

When doing blood testing for a viral infection, the procedure can be made more efficient and less expensive by combining partial
Serjik [45]

Answer:

0.1694 = 16.94% probability of a positive result for three samples combined into one mixture.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each test, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is positive, or it is negative. The probability of a test being positive or negative is independent of any other test, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

The probability of an individual blood sample testing positive for the virus is 0.06.

This means that p = 0.06

If samples from three people are combined and the mixture tests negative, we know that all three individual samples are negative. Find the probability of a positive result for three samples combined into one mixture.

It will be positive if at least one of the tests is positive, that is:

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)

In which

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{3,0}.(0.06)^{0}.(0.94)^{3} = 0.8306

Then

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.8306 = 0.1694

0.1694 = 16.94% probability of a positive result for three samples combined into one mixture.

What two numbers multiply to -126 and add up to -65
Airida [17]
Xy = -126
x + y = -65

xy = -126
\frac{xy}{x} = \frac{-126}{x}
y = \frac{-126}{x}

x + y = -65
x + \frac{-126}{x} = -65
\frac{x^{2}}{x} + \frac{-126}{x} = -65
\frac{x^{2} - 126}{x} = -65
-65x = x^{2} - 126
0 = x^{2} + 65x - 126
x = \frac{-(65) \+ \sqrt{(65)^{2} - 4(1)(-126)}}{2(1)}
x = \frac{-65 \± \sqrt{4225 + 504}}{2}
x = \frac{-65 \± \sqrt{4729}}{2}
x = \frac{-65 \± 68.8}{2}
x = \frac{-65 + 68.8}{2}  or  x = \frac{-65 - 68.8}{2}
x = \frac{3.8}{2}  or  x = \frac{-133.8}{2}
x = 1.9  or  x = -66.9

     x + y = -65
  1.9 + y = -65
- 1.9           - 1.9
           y = -66.9
    (x, y) = (1.9, -66.9)

or

        x + y = -65
  -66.9 + y = -65
+ 66.9        + 66.9
              y = 1.9
        (x, y) = (-66.9, 1.9)

The two numbers that add up to -65 and can multiply to -126 are the numbers -66.9 and 1.9.
