Answer:

y=-5/4x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We're given the line 5x+4y=24 and we want to find the line parallel to it that passes through (8,-5)

Parallel lines have the same slopes

First, we need to find the slope of 5x+4y=24.

We'll do that by converting 5x+4y=24 from standard form (ax+by=c where a, b, and c are integers) to slope-intercept form (y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept)

subtract 5x from both sides

4y=-5x+24

divide by 4 on both sides

y=-5/4x+6

since -5/4 is in the place where m should be, it is the slope.

So the equation of the line parallel to it will also have -5/4 as the slope

Here's the equation so far in slope-intercept form:

y=-5/4x+b

we need to find b

because the equation will pass through (8,-5), we can use it to solve for b

substitute 8 as x and -5 as y

-5=-5/4(8)+b

multiply

-5=-10+b

add 10 to both sides

5=b

substitute 5 as b into the equation

That's the equation of the line parallel to 5x+4y=24.

Hope this helps!

Given f(x)=3x^2+5 and g(x)=x−2 . What is (fg)(x) ? 3x^2−x+7 3x^3−6x2+5x−10 −3x^2+x−7 3x^3−10

wolverine [178]

For this case we have that by definition:

$(fg) (x) = f (x) * g (x)$

So:

$(fg) (x) = (3x ^ 2 + 5) (x-2)$

We apply distributive property that states that:

$(a + b) (c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd$

In addition, we take into account that:

$+ * - = -$

$(fg) (x) = 3x ^ 3-6x ^ 2 + 5x-10$

Answer:

$3x ^ 3-6x ^ 2 + 5x-10$

In 2012, the population of a city was 6.27 million. The exponential growth rate was 1.47% per year.

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

a) $a(t)= 6.27e^{0.0147*t}$

b) 6.84 million

c) 2028.52

d) 47 years

Step-by-step explanation:

a)Here we know standard exponential growth rate is

$a(t)= ae^{k*t}$

In this put t=0 and a(t)=6.27 million

thus we get a = 6.27 million

now $\frac{da}{dt}=a(t)k$

this is equal to(in 2012)= $\frac{1.47}{100}*=0.0147$

b)Put t = 6

we get

$a(t)= 6.27e^{0.0147*6}$

=6.84 million

c) $8 = 6.27e^{0.0147*t}$

take log both sides

we get 16.52 years

d) $2*6.27=6.27e^{0.0147*t}$

take log both sides we get 47 years to get double the current population.

Birth weights at a local hospital have a Normal distribution with a mean of 110 oz and a standard deviation of 15 oz. The propor

OLga [1]

Answer:

The proportion of infants with birth weights between 125 oz and 140 oz is 0.1359 = 13.59%.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

$\mu = 110, \sigma = 0.15$
