A line has a slope of 5 and passes through the point (0,9). What is its equation in
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

y=5x+9

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we have to use the equation y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

We know that m=5, x=0 and y=9.

So why not plug them into the equation to find b?

9=5(0)+b

9=0+b

9=b

Therefore, y=5x+9 is your final answer.

Assume that when adults with smartphones are randomly​ selected, 61% use them in meetings or classes. If 8 adult smartphone user
podryga [215]

Answer:

0.1147

Step-by-step explanation:

When adults with smartphones are randomly​ selected, 61% use them in meetings or classes, then

  • the probability of using the smartphone is p=0.61;
  • the probability of not using the smartphone is q=1-p=1-0.61=0.39.

If 8 adult smartphone users are randomly​ selected, the probability that exactly 3 of them use their smartphones in meetings or classes can be calculated using binomial distribution as

C^8_3\cdot p^3\cdot q^{8-3}=C^8_3\cdot (0.61)^3\cdot (0.39)^5

Note that

C^8_3=\dfrac{8!}{3!(8-3)!}=\dfrac{5!\cdot 6\cdot 7\cdot 8}{2\cdot 3\cdot 5!}=\dfrac{6\cdot 7\cdot 8}{2\cdot 3}=7\cdot 8=56,

then the probabilty is

56\cdot (0.61)^3\cdot (0.39)^5\approx 0.1147

Find the value of XP if X is between P and Q. <br><br> XQ= 3k, XP= 7k - 2, PQ= 6k + 18
VMariaS [17]

If X is between P and Q, then PQ is the whole line segment and XQ and XP are line segments that add up to PQ. Therefore, you can make an equation where XQ and XP add up to PQ.

XQ + XP = PQ

(3k) + (7k - 2) = 6k + 18

Combine like terms.

10k - 2 = 6k + 18

Add 2 to both sides.

10k = 6k + 20

Subtract 6k from both sides.

4k = 20

Divide both sides by 4.

k = 5

Plug 5 for k into XP.

XP = 7(5) - 2 ⇒ 35 - 2

XP = 33

A rock outcrop was found to have 78.88% of its parent u-238 isotope remaining. approximate the age of the outcrop. the half-life
Alla [95]

Answer:

Answer:1.5*10^9 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The half life of the substance is given i.e 4.5B years. You can change it into seconds by multiplying it with 365 and 86400.

The current no of particles is given 78.88% which will be equal to 78.88 if you assume the substance had 100 no of particle initially.

Determine the decay constant by dividing 0.69 by half life

use these values in the equation for the answer.

[ln and e are inverse functions to eachother]
