7. What is the slope in the equation y=-6x+4?

Mathematics

7. The slope is the number with the x next to it, so it would be -6x

8. The y-Intercept is the number WITHOUT the x, in this case would be -5

9. You always want the equation to be in y = M(slope)x + b(y-intercept). Subtract 2x on both sides to get 4y = -2x + 12. Divide both sides by 4 to leave y by itself. That leaves us with y = -1/2 + 3

10. Same thing minus x on both sides to get -3y = -x + 6. And since you don’t want a negative y, you need to divide by a negative. Divide both sides by -3 to get y = 1/3 -2. When you divide a number by a negative, it changes the sign in front of the number.
Hope this helps!

A devastating freeze in California's Central Valley in January 2007 wiped out approximately 75% of the state's citrus crop. It t

solniwko [45]

The relationship between the percentage of frozen citrus crop, and the cost of box of oranges is an illustration of a linear function.

The linear equation of the function is: $g(P) = 22.9P+7$ .
The inverse function is: $g^{-1}(c) = \frac{1}{22.9}(c - 7)$ .
A practical domain is from 0% to 100%
A practical range is from 7 to 29.9

A. Input quantity

The input quantity is the percentage of frozen citrus crop

B. Output quantity

The output quantity is the cost of box of oranges

C. The linear function

We have:

$(P_1,c_1) = (20\%,11.58)\\(P_2,c_2) = (80\%,25.32)$

Calculate the slope of the function

$m = \frac{c_2 - c_1}{P_2 - P_1}$

$m = \frac{25.32 - 11.58}{80\%-20\%}$

$m = \frac{13.74}{60\%}$

$m = 22.9$

The linear equation is calculated as follows:

$c -c_1 = m(P-P_1)$

$c -11.58= 22.9(P-20\%)$

$c-11.58 = 22.9P-4.58$

D. Rewrite as y = mx + b

We have:

$c-11.58 = 22.9P-4.58$

Collect like terms

$c = 22.9P - 4.58 + 11.58$

$c = 22.9P+7$

The function is:

$g(P) = 22.9P+7$

E. A practical domain

The domain is the possible values of P. Because P is a percentage, its possible values are 0% to 100%.

The domain of the function is: $[0\%,100\%]$

F. A practical range

When P = 0%

$c = 22.9 \times 0\% + 7 = 7$

When P = 100%

$c = 22.9 \times 100\% + 7 = 29.9$

Hence, the range of the function is: $[7,29.9]$

G. The meaning of $g^{-1}(12)$

The inverse function of g(P) is $g^{-1}(P)$

So:

$g^{-1}(12)$ is the percentage of frozen citrus crop, when the cost is $12.

H. The inverse formula

We have:

$c = 22.9P+7$

Subtract 7 from both sides

$c - 7 = 22.9P$

Make P the subject

$P = \frac{1}{22.9}(c - 7)$

So, the inverse formula is:

$g^{-1}(c) = \frac{1}{22.9}(c - 7)$

Substitute 12 for c

$g^{-1}(12) = \frac{1}{22.9}(12 - 7)$

$g^{-1}(12) = \frac{1}{22.9} \times 5$

$g^{-1}(12) = 22\%$

What is 36 divided by 1.5 in long division

Tatiana [17]

Answer: 24

To calculate with long division when the divisor is a decimal, add zeroes in both the dividend and divisor. This means you get 360 ÷ 15.

From here, just do normal calculation and you get 24 as your answer.

wariber [46]

Answer:

3575880

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use Permutation method,

$nPr= \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}$

Where n is the sample of size and r the combination considered, so

$n=45\\r=4\\45P4= \frac{45!}{(45-4)!}\\45P4 = 3575880$

There is 3575880 possibilities to make leadership structures in that committee
