Tn=-2n+19

Step-by-step explanation:

Well in south africa we use Tn

Tn=a+(n-1)d

a=is the first term in the sequence which is 17

d=is the the difference between the terms which is - 2

Tn=17+(n-1)(-2)

Tn=17-2n+2

Tn=-2n+19

Find an equation for the line with the given properties. Express your answer using the general form or the slope-intercept form

Damm [24]

Answer:

$y=-3x+4$

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the equation in the slope-intercept form first, put the equation in slope-point form using the information given. The slope-point form is $y-(-2)=-3(x-2)$ . Then solve for y.

Distribute -3 to $(x-2)$ ,

$y-(-2)=-3x+6$

Then, add -2 to both sides,

$y=-3x+4$

This is your final answer; the slope is -3 and the y-intercept is 4. There are also a few other ways to solve but I find this the easiest.

The corners of a meadow are shown on a coordinate grid. Ethan wants to fence the meadow. What length of fencing is required?

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

34.6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The lenght of fencing required is the total distance between point A to B, B to C, C to D, and D to A. That is the distance between all 4 corners of the meadow.

The coordinates of the corners of the meadow is shown on a coordinate plane in the attachment. (See attachment below).

Let's use the distance formula to calculate the distance between the 4 corners of the meadow using their coordinates as follows:

Distance between point A(-6, 2) and point B(2, 6):

$AB = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$

Let,

$A(-6, 2)) = (x_1, y_1)$

$B(2, 6) = (x_2, y_2)$

$AB = \sqrt{(2 - (-6))^2 + (6 - 2)^2}$

$AB = \sqrt{(8)^2 + (4)^2}$

$AB = \sqrt{64 + 16} = \sqrt{80}$

$AB = 8.9$ (nearest tenth)

Distance between B(2, 6) and C(7, 1):

$BC = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$

Let,

$B(2, 6) = (x_1, y_1)$

$C(7, 1) = (x_2, y_2)$

$BC = \sqrt{(7 - 2)^2 + (1 - 6)^2}$

$BC = \sqrt{(5)^2 + (-5)^2}$

$BC = \sqrt{25 + 25} = \sqrt{50}$

$BC = 7.1$ (nearest tenth)

Distance between C(7, 1) and D(3, -5):

$CD = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$

Let,

$C(7, 1) = (x_1, y_1)$

$D(3, -5) = (x_2, y_2)$

$CD = \sqrt{(3 - 7)^2 + (-5 - 1)^2}$

$CD = \sqrt{(-4)^2 + (-6)^2}$

$CD = \sqrt{16 + 36} = \sqrt{52}$

$CD = 7.2$ (nearest tenth)

Distance between D(3, -5) and A(-6, 2):

$DA = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$

Let,

$D(3, -5) = (x_1, y_1)$

$A(-6, 2) = (x_2, y_2)$

$DA = \sqrt{(-6 - 3)^2 + (2 - (-5))^2}$

$DA = \sqrt{(-9)^2 + (7)^2}$

$DA = \sqrt{81 + 49} = \sqrt{130}$

$DA = 11.4$ (nearest tenth)

Length of fencing required = 8.9 + 7.1 + 7.2 + 11.4 = 34.6 units

A field test for a new exam was given to randomly selected seniors. The exams were graded, and the sample mean and sample standa

swat32

All our answers lie in the above statement.

Confidence Level:
The creator claims that 9 out 10 students will have the average score in the said range. Or in other words we can say that the creator is 90% confident about the result of the field test. So the confidence level is 90%.

Margin of Error:
The average score lies within 4% of 70%. This means the margin of error is 4% i.e. the average scores can deviate from 70% by 4% .

Confidence Interval:
Lower Limit = 70% - 4% = 66%
Upper Limit = 70% + 4% = 74%

Interpretation:
The exam creator is 90% confident that the average scores of seniors will be between 66% and 74%.
