Answer:

-14x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

first, we distribute the -3.

-3(4x - 2) - 2x=-12x+6-2x

than, we conbide like terms

-12x+6-2x=-14x+6

He mathematics department of a college has 6 male professors, 8 female professors, 14 male teaching assistants, and 7 female

irinina [24]

Total number of people in the department = 6 + 8 + 14 + 7 = 35
Total males = 6 + 14 = 20
Total female professor = 8
Total males or professor = 20 + 8 = 28

$P(\text {male or professor}) = \dfrac{28}{35} = \dfrac{4}{5}$

$\boxed {\boxed {\text {Answer: P(male or professor) = }\dfrac{4}{5} }}$

Find the slope of the line that passes through (6, 7) and (2, 10). and simplify if needed thx guys.

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

$-\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation for finding the slope of a line when given two points is $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ , aka the change in y over the change in x.

pick one of your coordinate pairs to be $y_2\\$ and $x_2$ . it doesn't matter which coordinate pair you choose as long as you keep them as $y_2\\$ and $x_2$ . the remaining coordinate pair will be $y_1$ and $x_1$ .

for this example, i'll use (2, 10) for $y_2\\$ and $x_2$ and (6, 7) for $y_1$ and $x_1$ .

**before i begin, i just want to note that you can do these next four steps in any order that you want. i personally prefer to plug in my y-values first and then my x-values, but you can choose to instead plug in the values of each coordinate pair (like starting by plugging in the coordinate pair (2, 10) with 10 for $y_2\\$ and 2 for $x_2$ ). it's up to you. i'm going to explain the steps by plugging in my y-values first and then my x-values because that's the way i normally do it.

first, start by plugging in the y-value from the coordinate pair of your choosing in for $y_2\\$ . since i chose (2, 10) for $y_2\\$ and $x_2$ , i'll plug in 10 for $y_2\\$ .

$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ ⇒ $\frac{10-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

then plug in the remaining coordinate pair's y-value in for $y_1$ . since the coordinate pair that's left is (6, 7), i will plug in 7 for $y_1$ .

$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ ⇒ $\frac{10-7}{x_2-x_1}$

now i'm going to plug in the x-values. i chose (2, 10) to plug in for $y_2\\$ and $x_2$ , so now i'll plug in 2 for $x_2$ .

$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ ⇒ $\frac{10-7}{2-x_1}$

and all that's left to plug in is the x-value from (6, 7), so i will plug that in for $x_1$ .

$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ ⇒ $\frac{10-7}{2-6}$

after plugging in all the values, you have $\frac{10-7}{2-6}$ .

subtract 10 - 7 as well as 2 - 6.

$\frac{10-7}{2-6}$ ⇒ $\frac{3}{-4}$

$\frac{3}{-4}$ cannot be simplified, therefore the slope of the line is $\frac{3}{-4}$ or $-\frac{3}{4}$ .

i hope this helps! have a lovely day <3

An isosceles trapezoid ABCD with height 2 units has all its vertices on the parabola y=a(x+1)(x−5). What is the value of a, if p

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

a = -0.3575

Step-by-step explanation:

The points A and D lie on the x-axis, this means that they are the x-intercepts of the parabola, and therefore we can find their location.

The points A and B are located where

$y=a(x+1)(x-5)=0$

This gives

$x=-1$

$y=5$

Now given the coordinates of A, we are in position to find the coordinates of the point B. Point B must have y coordinate of y=2 (because the base of the trapezoid is at y=0), and the x coordinate of B, looking at the figure, must be x coordinate of A plus horizontal distance between A and B, i.e

$B_x=A_x+\frac{2}{tan(60)} =-1+\frac{2\sqrt{3} }{3}$
