Solve 3x2 + 4x = 2. ??

The given line passes through the points (-2,-4) and (2,2) What is the equation, in point-slope form, of the line that is parall

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

$(y-1)=\frac{3}{2}(x+3)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The point slope form of a line is $(y-y_1)=m(x-x_1)$ where $x_1=-3\\y_1=1$ . We write

$(y-1)=m(x--3)\\(y-1)=m(x+3)$

Since the line is parallel to the line shown it will have the same slope. To find m, count the slope from each marked point on the graph. Count the rise then the run and create a fraction rise/run. The slope is 6/4 which simplifies to 3/2. Now substitute it for m.

$(y-1)=\frac{3}{2}(x+3)$

-6-2b=-8. What's the answer

Ksivusya [100]

Answer: B = 1

Step-by-step explanation: The first step is to add 6 to both sides of the equation to get -2b = -2

You then divide both sides by negative 2 so you can get a positive

dividing both sides by negative 2 will leave you with 1b = 1

so

b = 1

Find the product. Your answer must be in simplest form.<br> 7/8 of 56

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

You probably know that the number above the fraction line is called the numerator and the number below it is called the denominator. To work out the fraction of any number, we first need to convert that whole number into a fraction as well.

Here's a little tip for you. Any number can be converted to fraction if you use 1 as the denominator:

56

1

So now that we've converted 56 into a fraction, to work out the answer, we put the fraction 7/8 side by side with our new fraction, 56/1 so that we can multiply those two fractions.

That's right, all you need to do is convert the whole number to a fraction and then multiply the numerators and denominators. Let's take a look:

7 x 56

8 x 1

=

392

8

In this case, our new fraction can actually be simplified down further. To do that, we need to find the greatest common factor of both numbers.

You can use our handy GCF calculator to work this out yourself if you want to. We already did that, and the GCF of 392 and 8 is 8.

We can now divide both the new numerator and the denominator by 8 to simplify this fraction down to its lowest terms.

392/8 = 49

8/8 = 1

When we put that together, we can see that our complete answer is:

49

1

The complete and simplified answer to the question what is 7/8 of 56 is:

49

Hopefully this tutorial has helped you to understand how to find the fraction of any whole number. You can now go give it a go with more numbers to practice your newfound fraction skills.

The number of phone calls that Actuary Ben receives each day has a Poisson distribution with mean 0.1 during each weekday and me

Dovator [93]

Answer:

There is a 0.73% probability that Ben receives a total of 2 phone calls in a week.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

In which

x is the number of sucesses

$e = 2.71828$ is the Euler number

$\mu$ is the mean in the given time interval.

The problem states that:

The number of phone calls that Actuary Ben receives each day has a Poisson distribution with mean 0.1 during each weekday and mean 0.2 each day during the weekend.

To find the mean during the time interval, we have to find the weighed mean of calls he receives per day.

There are 5 weekdays, with a mean of 0.1 calls per day.

The weekend is 2 days long, with a mean of 0.2 calls per day.

So:

$\mu = \frac{5(0.1) + 2(0.2)}{7} = 0.1286$

If today is Monday, what is the probability that Ben receives a total of 2 phone calls in a week?

This is $P(X = 2)$ . So:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-0.1286}*0.1286^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.0073$

There is a 0.73% probability that Ben receives a total of 2 phone calls in a week.

Can some show the steps and the answer please I really need help tell me how you get it and the answer

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

so this is about triangles.. sooo the following is a bit of helpful reminders that I keep on my computer to help me remember how to fit the trig functions to triangles.. I strongly suggest you copy it and keep it where you can look at it often.

Use SOH CAH TOA to recall how the trig functions fit on a triangle

SOH: Sin(Ф)= Opp / Hyp

CAH: Cos(Ф)= Adj / Hyp

TOA: Tan(Ф) = Opp / Adj

I use this anytime I run into triangles or need some help with sin or cos

now the problem , 3 ladder 10, 12, & 15 feet. Alex wants to get to 8 feet.

the problems is also telling you that you can use t..... and then , the words are cut off.. but I know they were going to say Tan ... next.. :P

b/c Tan is how you figure out problems with the adjacent side and the opposite side. like this problem. Look at TOA above. use that to recall how the parts fit in the formula

Tan(∅) = Opp / Adj

they give us the Opp side of 8 feet in the problem

then they also tell us the Hyp of the triangle which is each of the ladders length. Then they ask us what is the Adj sides length?

So we also need to solve the triangle with the know hyp (ladder length).. uggg, this problem is long. Then we can solve the dist. from the wall or Adj side length.

it's two steps, if you want to think of it that way. You're supposed to be pretty confident with trig functions. I'm guessing this is a trig class.. right?

let's solve for the 3 different angles that the ladders make , each going to 8 feel. Obviously, nobody would really do this with a ladder they would just lean it against the wall . and if it's taller than where they want to climb, they would just go up part way. so anyway, find the 3 different angles.

look above to see which formula to use.

I like SOH b/c it seems to have all the pieces of the triangle we want to work with.

ladder 1 ( 10')

Sin(∅) = Opp / Hyp

Sin(∅) = 8 / 10

∅ = arcSin (4/5)

[ first, yes, I just reduced the fraction, then I did the arcSin on both sides, I think you might know how to do that already ? ]

∅ = 53.13010 °

( yes, I used my calculator to find that, calculators are okay to use when figuring out non standard angles )

ladder 2 (12')

Sin(∅) = 8/12

∅ = arcSin (2/3)

∅ = 41.81031°

ladder 3 (15')

Sin(∅) = 8/15

∅ = arcSin (8/15)

∅ = 32.230952°

now use our Tan function to find the Adjacent side which is the distance from the wall

Tan(∅)= Opp / Adj

Adj = Opp / Tan(∅)

( I did some quick algebra to move the side we want to solve for, now plug and chug all 3 angles )

ladder 1

Adj = 8 / Tan(53.13010)

Adj = 6.0000005

ladder 2

Adj = 8 / Tan(41.81031)

Adj = 8.94427

ladder 3

Adj = 8 / Tan(32.230952)

Adj = 12.688577

so the 10' ladder is 6 feet from the wall

the 12' ladder is 8.9 feet from the wall

the 15 foot ladder is 12.7 feet from the wall.

I really don't think that 15' ladder is going to stay on the wall.. if Alex climbs it... it's way way too far out... it will just fall straight down the wall :/ Maybe another math problem for the forces involved :P
