A line passes through the points (–5, 2) and (10, –1). Which is the equation of the line?

1 answer:

3 0

We have y - 2 = m(x + 5), where m = (-1 - 2)/(10 + 5) = -3/15 = -1/5;
Then y - 2 = (-1/5)(x + 5);
5y - 10 = (-1)(x + 5);
5y - 10 = -x - 5;
x + 5y - 5 = 0 is the equation of the line.

A small-appliance manufacturer finds that the profit P (in dollars) generated by producing x microwave ovens per week is given b

Olegator [25]

Answer:

Number of ovens must be manufactured in a given week to generate a profit of $1610 is 70

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

A small-appliance manufacturer finds that the profit P (in dollars) generated by producing x microwave ovens per week is given by the formula

$P=\frac{1}{10}x(300-x)$

provided that 0 ≤ x ≤ 200

We are given

profit is $1610

so, we can set P=1610

and then we can solve for x

$1610=\frac{1}{10}x(300-x)$

Multiply both sides by 10

$1610\cdot \:10=\frac{1}{10}x\left(300-x\right)\cdot \:10$

$16100=x\left(300-x\right)$

$16100=300x-x^2$

$-x^2+300x-16100=0$

now, we can factor it

$(x-70)(x-230)=0$

we can solve for x

and we get

$x=70,x=230$

Since, x=230 does not lie on 0 ≤ x ≤ 200

So, we will consider only x=70

So,

Number of ovens must be manufactured in a given week to generate a profit of $1610 is 70

Solve this: if [a]=2,then 1[a]0=120 feet, and if [c]=8, then 6[c]=68 feet

katrin2010 [14]

Well the answer would be 120=120 and 68=68

The number of throws that the player make X follows binomial distribution.

The probability that the player makes x throws out of eleven throws is

$P(X=x)=C(x,11)0.5^x(0.5)^{11-x}=C(x,11)0.5^{11}$

The probability that the player makes at most nine out of eleven free throws

$\sum_{x=0}^9C(x,11)0.5^{11}=1-\sum_{x=10}^{11}C(x,11)0.5^{11}\\ =1-C(10,11)0.5^{11}-C(11,11)0.5^{11}=1-\frac{12}{2^{11}} \\ =1-\frac{3}{512} =\frac{509}{512}$

Correct choice is (B).
