Answer:The first method, by substituting  5 into the expression   (-2)x + 6 gives the coreect answer of   -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Ist method

Substituting  x = 5 into the expression   (-2)x + 6,  we have

 (-2) 5 + 6,

=-10 + 6

=-4

2nd method

Substitute x = -1 into the expression (-2)x + 6,we have

(-2)(-1) + 6

2  +6=10

The first method, by substituting  5 into the expression   (-2)x + 6 gives the coreect answer of   -4

What is the slope of a line passing through the points (2, 5) and (0, −4)?
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

9/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the slope formula

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = ( -4 -5)/( 0 -2)

   = -9/-2

   = 9/2

7, 9, 13 are the first three terms of a sequence with
ivann1987 [24]

(i) The simultaneous equations in a, b and c are a+b+c = 7 , 4a+2b+c = 9 & 9a+3b+c = 13  

(ii) Expression for nth term = n²-n+7

The first three terms of the sequence are 7, 9, 13

nth term = an²+bn+c

If we put n = 1 then,

1st term = a(1)²+b+c

⇒ a+b+c = 7   ......(1)

If we put n = 2 then,

2nd term = a(2)²+b×2+c

⇒ 4a+2b+c = 9    ........(2)

3rd term = a(3)²+b×3+c

⇒ 9a+3b+c = 13   .......(3)

Multiplying 4 with (1) and subtract (2) from (1) we get,

(4a+4b+4c)-(4a+2b+c)=28-9

⇒ 4a+4b+4c-4a-2b-c=19

⇒ 2b+3c=19 .....(4)

Multiplying 9 with (1) and subtract (3) from (1) we get,

(9a+9b+9c)-(9a+3b+c)=63-13

⇒ 9a+9b+9c-9a-3b-c=50

⇒ 6b+8c=50

⇒ 3b+4c=25 .....(5)

Multiplying 3 with (4) and multiplying 2 with (5), then subtract (5) from (4),

3(2b+3c)-2(3b+4c)=57-50

⇒ 6b+9c-6b-8c=7

⇒ c = 7

From (5),

3b+28 = 25

⇒ 3b = -3

⇒ b = -1

From (1),

a+(-1)+7 = 7

⇒ a-1=0

⇒ a=1

So, nth term = n²-n+7

A research scientist wants to know how many times per hour a certain strand of bacteria reproduces. He wants to construct the 95
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

The minimum sample size required for the estimate is 345.

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.

That is z with a pvalue of 1 - 0.025 = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

Now, find the margin of error 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.

The standard deviation is known to be 1.8.

This means that \sigma = 1.8

What is the minimum sample size required for the estimate?

This is n for which M = 0.19. So

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

0.19 = 1.96\frac{1.8}{\sqrt{n}}

0.19\sqrt{n} = 1.96*1.8

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*1.8}{0.19}

(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96*1.8}{0.19})^2

n = 344.8

Rounding up to the next integer:

The minimum sample size required for the estimate is 345.
