Answer:

Slope: -1/3

Y-intercept: -6

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 3y = -18

x+18 = 3y

-3y/-3 = x/-3+18/-3

y = -1/3x - 6

What is the difference between the mean and the median of the data set?

Pepsi [2]

As you probably know there is a difference between mean and median -- the mean acts as a measure of the average, and on the other hand median measures the middle number. The median in this is 15 and the mean is also 15.

The circumference of the ellipse approximate. Which equation is the result of solving the formula of the circumference for b?

Serhud [2]

Answer:

$b = \sqrt{\frac{C^{2} }{2(\pi )^{2} } - a^{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - The circumference of the ellipse approximated by $C = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{a^{2} + b^{2} }{2} }$ where 2a and 2b are the lengths of 2 the axes of the ellipse.

To find - Which equation is the result of solving the formula of the circumference for b ?

Solution -

$C = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{a^{2} + b^{2} }{2} }\\\frac{C}{2\pi } = \sqrt{\frac{a^{2} + b^{2} }{2} }$

Squaring Both sides, we get

$[\frac{C}{2\pi }]^{2} = [\sqrt{\frac{a^{2} + b^{2} }{2} }]^{2} \\\frac{C^{2} }{(2\pi)^{2} } = {\frac{a^{2} + b^{2} }{2} }\\2\frac{C^{2} }{4(\pi)^{2} } = {{a^{2} + b^{2} }$

$\frac{C^{2} }{2(\pi )^{2} } = a^{2} + b^{2} \\\frac{C^{2} }{2(\pi )^{2} } - a^{2} = b^{2} \\\sqrt{\frac{C^{2} }{2(\pi )^{2} } - a^{2}} = b$

∴ we get

$b = \sqrt{\frac{C^{2} }{2(\pi )^{2} } - a^{2}}$

Answer:

$\rm - \dfrac{11}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\rm Simplify \: the \: following: \\ \rm \longrightarrow - 5 + \dfrac{i}{2} i \\ \\ \rm Combine \: powers. \\ \rm \dfrac{i \times i}{2} = \dfrac{i^{1 + 1}}{2}: \\ \rm \longrightarrow - 5 + \dfrac{i^{1 + 1}}{2} \\ \\ \rm 1 + 1 = 2: \\ \rm \longrightarrow - 5 + \dfrac{i^2}{2} \\ \\ \rm i^2 = -1: \\ \rm \longrightarrow - 5 + \dfrac{( - 1)}{2} \\ \\ \rm \longrightarrow - 5 - \dfrac{1}{2} \\ \\ \rm Put \: - 5 - \dfrac{1}{2} \: over \: the \: common \: denominator \: 2. \\ \rm - 5 - \dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{2( - 5)}{2} - \dfrac{1}{2} : \\ \rm \longrightarrow \dfrac{ - 5 \times 2}{2} - \dfrac{1}{2} \\ \\ \rm 2 (-5) = -10: \\ \rm \longrightarrow \dfrac{ - 10}{2} - \dfrac{1}{2} \\ \\ \rm \dfrac{ - 10}{2} - \dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{ - 10 - 1}{2} : \\ \rm \longrightarrow \dfrac{ - 10 - 1}{2} \\ \\ \rm -10 - 1 = -11: \\ \rm \longrightarrow - \dfrac{11}{2}$
