Equivalent expression to 6(5+2m)

A car is driving down a long Steep Hill the elevation above sea level in feet of the car when it is D miles from the top of the

amid [387]

Answer:

This task would be especially well-suited for instructional purposes. Students will benefit from a class discussion about the slope, y-intercept, x-intercept, and implications of the restricted domain for interpreting more precisely what the equation is modeling.

One potential confusion students may have follows from the subtle difference between what the car is doing and the idea of slope as the ratio between the change in vertical distance on the graph and the change in horizontal distance on the graph. Because the car is traveling one mile on a down-hill slope, the situation could be represented as a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 5,280 ft and a leg of 250 ft; using the Pythagorean Theorem they would find that the other leg is approximately 5,274 ft. Following through on this interpretation, a student might conclude that the car travels a horizontal distance of approximately 5,274 ft for every 250 ft in vertical distance and arrive at a slope of approximately -0.047. While this is, in some sense, the slope of the hill, it is not the slope of the function as described. This interpretation yields numbers that are very close to the situation described in the task, yet conceptually different since the distance traveled by the car would now be expressed in terms of horizontal distance traveled as opposed to distance along the slope of the hill to compute the elevation. If students do indeed pursue this line of reasoning, the task provides an opportunity to compare and contrast the graph of the function and what it represents with a drawing of the hill and the vertical and horizontal distances traversed with each mile down the slope.

How many different 5-letter radio station call letters can be made a. if the first letter must be Upper C comma Upper X comma U

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

a) 1,518,000

b) 2,284,880

c) 60,720

Step-by-step explanation:

a) a. if the first letter must be Upper C comma Upper X comma Upper T comma or Upper M and no letter may be repeated?

We draw 5 boxes, and based on that we will see the total possible cases. There are 26 alphabets

The first box should have C or X or T or M .No letter may be repeated.

Any Any Any Any Any

5 alphabets of the of the of the of the

C,X , T , M remaining remaining remaining remaining

25 alphabets 24 alphabets 23 alphabets 22 alphabets

Therefore; total possible call letters = 5 × 25 × 24 × 23 × 22 = 1,518,000

b)

The first box should have C or X or T or M Repeats as allowed

Any Any Any Any Any

5 alphabets of the of the of the of the

C,X , T , M remaining remaining remaining remaining

26 alphabets 26 alphabets 26 alphabets 26 alphabets

Therefore Total possible call letters = 5 × 26 × 26 × 26 × 26 = 2,284,880

c) The first box should have C,X , T , M and end with S

So the last place if fixed, and we now have 25 alphabets. The first box can go in 5 ways. The next box then will have only 24 letters to choose from, as the first box has taken a letter and the last box already has S in it. Repetition not allowed

Any Any Any Any S

5 alphabets of the of the of the is fixed

C,X , T , M remaining remaining remaining here

24 alphabets 23 alphabets 22 alphabets

Therefore Total possible call letters = 5 × 24 × 23 × 22 × 1 = 60,720

On a coordinate plane, a line goes through (negative 4, 0) and (4, negative 4). A point is at (2, 3).

Valentin [98]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

(b) x +2y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The only offered line that includes the given point is ...

x +2y = 8

__

We can check the other choices:

x + 2y = 2 +2(3) = 2+6 = 8 . . . matches B (not A)

2x +y = 2(2) +3 = 4+3 = 7 . . . . not a choice

_____

<em>Getting there from scratch</em>

The standard form equation for a line can be written from ...

(y2 -y1)x -(x2 -x1)y = constant

(-4 -0)x -(4 -(-4))y = constant . . . . using the given points (-4, 0) and (4, -4)

-4x -8y = constant

For standard form, we need the leading coefficient to be positive, and we need common factors removed. We can get there by dividing by -4.

x +2y = constant

The value of the constant will be whatever it takes for the given point to lie on the line. For (x, y) = (2, 3) to be a solution, we must have ...

x +2y = (2) +2(3) = constant = 8

The desired line has the equation ...

x +2y = 8

"A laboratory tested 73 chicken eggs and found that the mean amount of cholesterol was 230 milligrams with LaTeX: \sigmaσ = 17.4

Scrat [10]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the true mean cholesterol content, μ, of all such eggs is between 226.01 and 233.99 milligrams.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1-0.95}{2} = 0.025$

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of $1-\alpha$ .

So it is z with a pvalue of $1-0.025 = 0.975$ , so $z = 1.96$

Now, find M as such

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

$M = 1.96*\frac{17.4}{\sqrt{73}} = 3.99$

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 230 - 3.99 = 226.01

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 230 + 3.99 = 233.99.

The 95% confidence interval for the true mean cholesterol content, μ, of all such eggs is between 226.01 and 233.99 milligrams.
