Answer:

The equation of the line is y = 4x + 13

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we want to write the equation of the line using the point slope form.

Mathematically, the point slope form can be represented as;

(y-y1) = m(x - x1)

where x1 = -2 , y1 = 5 and m which is the slope is 4

Plugging these values into the equation, we have;

(y-5) = 4(x - (-2))

y-5 = 4(x + 2)

y -5 = 4x + 8

y = 4x + 8 + 5

y = 4x + 13

A foreman for an injection-molding firm admits that on 55% of his shifts, he forgets to shut off the injection machine on his li

motikmotik

Answer:

0.8594

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a denote the event of forgetting to shut off machine and b be the event of being defective.

-A foreman forgets to shut off machine 55% of the time.

-If he forgets, 15% of molds are defective.

-If he does not, 3% of molds are defective.

#The probability that he forgot to shut off the machine is calculated as:

$P(a \ and \ b)=0.55\times 0.15\\\\=0.0825\\\\$

P(a and ~b)=0.55(1-0.15)=0.4675

P(~a and b) = (1-0.55)*0.03=0.0135

P(~a and ~b) = (1-0.55)*(1-0.03)=0.4365

#Conditional probability is defined as:

$P(a|b)=\frac{P(a \ and\ b)}{P(a)}\\\\=\frac{P(a \ and \ b)}{[(P(a \ and \ b)+P(\~a \ and \ b)}\\\\\\=\frac{0.0825}{0.0825+0.0135}\\\\\\=0.8594$

Hence, the probability that the foreman forgot to shut off the machine the previous night is 0.8594

What solution do 2x2 - 13x + 21 = 0 and 2x2 + 9x - 56 = 0 have in common? Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.

lys-0071 [83]

So if we want to know the common solution(s) to a system of 2 equations, So we can just set both equations equal to each other and solve for the x value(s). That’s where I start below;

2x^2-13x+21 = 2x^2+9x-56
2x^2 cancels out and moving everything to one side and anything with an x variable to the other side we have then;
-22x=-77
22x=77 by cancelling the negative signs
x=77/22 therefore x=7/2 or 3.5

Hope this helps you. Any questions please ask.
