Answer:

The slope of a line characterizes the direction of a line. To find the slope, you divide the difference of the y-coordinates of 2 points on a line by the difference of the x-coordinates of those same 2 points

Write the set of real numbers x less than 6 in set builder notation

maksim [4K]

Answer:

{x ∈ R: x<6}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x is a real number
x is less than 6

Required

Write the set using set builder notation

The very first thing to do is to list out the range of x, using inequalities;

x is less than 6 implies that -infiniti < x < 6

The next step is to translate this to set builder. This is done as follows

x ∈ R - > This means that x is a real number

x < 6 -> where x is less than 6.

Bringing these two together, it gives:

{x ∈ R: x<6}

Hence, the set of real numbers x less than 6 is equivalent to {x ∈ R: x<6} using set builder notation

Determine the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line parallel to y = x + 11 that passes through the point (–6, 2). y =

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

$y = x+12$

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel => This means it has the same slope as this one.

Slope = m = 1

Now,

Point = (x,y) = (-6,2)

So, x = -6, y = 2

Putting this in slope intercept form to get b

$y = mx+b$

=> 2 = (1)(-6) + b

=> b = 2+6

=> b = 8

Now putting m and b in the slope-intercept form to get the required equation:

=> $y = mx+b$

=> $y = x+12$

Rabies is a viral disease of mammals transmitted through the bite of a rabid animal. The virus infects the central nervous syste

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

(a) The value of x is 0.30.

(b) The probability that a reported case of rabies is not a raccoon is 0.45.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

R = reported case of rabies is a raccoon

F = reported case of rabies is a fox

B = reported case of rabies is a bat

O = reported case of rabies is a some other animal.

The data provided is:

P (R) = 0.55

P (F) = 0.11

P (B) = 0.04

P (O) = x.

(a)

A property of a probability distribution is that the sum of all individual properties is 1.

That is, $\sum P(X)=1$

Compute the value of x as follows:

$\sum P(X)=1\\P(R)+P(F)+P(B)+P(O)=1\\0.55+0.11+0.04+x=1\\0.70+x=1\\x=1-0.70\\x=0.30$

Thus, the value of x is 0.30.

(b)

The probability of the complement of an event is the probability of its not happening.

$P(A^{c})=1-P(A)$

Compute the probability that a reported case of rabies is not a raccoon as follows:

$P(R^{c})=1-P(R)\\=1-0.55\\=0.45$

Thus, the probability that a reported case of rabies is not a raccoon is 0.45.

(c)

Compute the probability that a reported case of rabies is either a bat or a fox as follows:

$P(B\cup F)=P(B)+P(F)\\=0.11+0.04\\=0.15$

Thus, the probability that a reported case of rabies is either a bat or a fox is 0.15.

The measure of b is..

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

b =21

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

20^2 + b^2 = 29^1

400 + b^2 =841

Subtract 400 from each side

b^2 = 441

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(441)

b =21
