Simplify the expression -4 - 8x + 2x

Do the points A(1,3) B(4,2) C(-2,4) lie on the same line? Explain your answer. Show all work.

Jet001 [13]

We can see that

$Slope\ of\ AB=Slope\ of\ BC=Slope\ of\ AC$

The given points are on same line.

Further explanation:

There are two methods to find if the given points are on same line

The slope method: If the points are on same line the slopes of two pairs of points will be same
Area of triangle method

Given points are:

A(1,3) B(4,2) C(-2,4)

We will find the slope of AB, BC, and AC

So,

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$Slope\ of\ AB=\frac{2-3}{4-1} \\=-\frac{1}{3}$

$Slope\ of\ BC=\frac{4-2}{-2-4}\\ =\frac{2}{-6}\\=-\frac{1}{3}$

$Slope\ of\ AC= \frac{4-3}{-2-1} \\=-\frac{1}{3}$

We can see that

$Slope\ of\ AB=Slope\ of\ BC=Slope\ of\ AC$

The given points are on same line.

Underage drinking, Part I: Data collected by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMSHA) suggests tha

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

a. Yes, there are 10 independent trials, each with exactly two possible outcomes, and a constant probability associated with each possible outcome.

b. The probability is 0.2029 or 20.29%

c. The probability is 0.2029 or 20.29%

d. The probability is 0.1671 or 16.71%

e. The probability is 0.9975 or 99.75%

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Yes, there are 10 independent trials, each with exactly two possible outcomes, and a constant probability associated with each possible outcome.

b. Let's use the binomial distribution table, this way:

Binomial distribution (n=10, p=0.697)

f(x) F(x) 1 - F(x)

x Pr[X = x] Pr[X ≤ x]

0 0.0000 0.0000

1 0.0002 0.0002

2 0.0016 0.0017

3 0.0095 0.0112

4 0.0384 0.0496

5 0.1059 0.1555

6 0.2029 0.3584

7 0.2668 0.6252

8 0.2301 0.8553

9 0.1176 0.9729

10 0.0271 1.0000

The probability is 0.2029 or 20.29%

c. If 69.7% of 18-20 years old consumed alcoholic beverages in 2008, therefore, 30.3% did not and the binomial distribution table is:

Binomial distribution (n=10, p=0.303)

f(x) F(x) 1 - F(x)

x Pr[X = x] Pr[X ≤ x]

0 0.0271 0.0271

1 0.1176 0.1447

2 0.2301 0.3748

3 0.2668 0.6416

4 0.2029 0.8445

5 0.1059 0.9504

6 0.0384 0.9888

7 0.0095 0.9983

8 0.0016 0.9998

9 0.0002 1.0000

10 0.0000 1.0000

The probability is 0.2029 or 20.29%

d. Let's use the binomial distribution table, this way:

Binomial distribution (n=5, p=0.697)

f(x) F(x) 1 - F(x)

x Pr[X = x] Pr[X ≤ x]

0 0.0026 0.0026

1 0.0294 0.0319

2 0.1351 0.1671

3 0.3109 0.4779

4 0.3576 0.8355

5 0.1645 1.0000

P(0) + P(1) + P (2) = 0.0026 + 0.0294 + 0.1351

The probability is 0.1671 or 16.71%

e. Using the same binomial distribution table we used in d. we have:

P(1) + P (2) + P(3) + P(4) + P (5) = 0.0294 + 0.1351 + 0.3109 + 0.3576 + 0.1645

The probability is 0.9975 or 99.75%

The temp at noon was 3*F and in midnight the temp dropped 8*F. What was the temp at midnight?

Romashka [77]

Answer: -5°F

Step-by-step explanation:

The temp at noon was 3*F and in midnight the temp dropped 8*F. Therefore, the temp at midnight will be calculated as:

= 3°F - 8°F.

= -5°F

According to the Census Bureau, in 2014 California had an estimated population of 3.88 x 10^7 and Wyoming had an population of 5

Verdich [7]

The population of California is 3.88 x 10^7 - 5.84 x 10^5 = 3.82 x 10^7 more than the population of Wyoming. Alternatively the population of California is 3.88 x 10^7 / 5.84 x 10^5 = 66 times the population of Wyoming.

"the quotient of a number and 4"

ladessa [460]

Answer:

a number divided by 4

Step-by-step explanation:

a number = n (it's a variable used in equations.)

so n over 4, or n divided by 4
