Answer:

y = 2/3x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's look at what slope-intercept form is.

y = mx + b

m is the slope, which in this case is 2/3

b is the y-intercept, which we will find later.

Now that we have identified the parts of the equation, let's plug in what we know. Use the point given for your x and y values.

y = mx + b

1 = 2/3(6) + b

Let's simplify this to find b.

[multiply] 1 = 4 + b

[subtract 4]

-3 = b

We now have our b-value, which is also our y-intercept. Plug in this value into the standard slope-intercept equation.

y = 2/3x - 3

This is your equation.

Check this by plugging in the point again.

1 = 2/3(6) - 3

[multiply] 1 = 4 - 3

[subtract]

1 = 1

This expression is true; therefore, your answer is correct.

Hope this helps!

Mr. Molesky observes a group of monkeys for 24 hours to learn about their behavior. He records how long they slept (in hours), h

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

Mr. Molesky observes a group of monkeys for 24 hours to learn about their behavior. He records how long they slept (in hours), how many bananas they ate, gender, age (in years), and the specific breed of monkey.

(a) What are the individuals in this data set?

(b) Identify the variables that were recorded, and indicate whether each one is categorical or quantitative?

Solution:

(a)

The term "individuals", in statistics, implies or denotes the objects or people included in a statistical study.

In this case it is provided that Mr. Molesky observes a group of monkeys for 24 hours to learn about their behavior.

So, the "individuals" in this data set are the monkeys.

(b)

Categorical variables belong to a certain category or label values. Such as gender of a person, state from which a person is from, color of the marble and so on.

Quantitative variables are those variables that assume numerical values and represent some sort of measurement. Such as height, weight, annual income of the people working at the same place and so on.

In this case the variables are:

Number of bananas the monkeys ate - Quantitative variable

Gender - Categorical variable

Age (in years) - Quantitative variable

Specific breed of monkey - Categorical variable

Complete the square to write the quadratic expression in vertex form.

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

1. (x - 3)² = 8

2. (x + 2)² = 3

3. (x + 6)² = $\frac{101}{2}$

4. (x + 3)² = 27

5. (x + 4)² = 13

6. $\bigg( x - \frac{15}{9} \bigg) ^2 = \frac{261}{81} = \frac{29}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Completion of Square: $(x - a) ^2 = x^2 - 2ax + a^2$

In the following problems the terms in the RHS of the above equation may be missing. We balance the equation. Simplify it and re write it in terms of LHS.

1. x² - 6x + 1 = 0

Taking the constant term to the other side, we get:

x² - 6x = - 1

⇒ x² - 2(3)x = -1

⇒ x² -2(3)x + 9 = - 1 + 9 [Adding 9 to both the sides]

⇒ x² -2(3)x + 3² = 8

⇒ (x - 3)² = 8 is the answer.

2. 3x² + 12x + 3 = 0

Note that the co-effecient of x² is not 1. We make it 1, by dividing the whole equation by 3. And then proceed like the previous problem.

3x² + 12x = -3

Dividing by 3 through out, x² + 4x = - 1

⇒ x² + 2(2) + 4 = -1 + 4

⇒ x² +2(2) + 2² = 3

⇒ (x + 2)² = 3 is the answer.

3. 2x² + 24x = 29

x² + 12x = $\frac{29}{2}$

⇒ x² + 2(6)x + 36 = $\frac{29}{2}$ + 36

⇒ x² + 2(6)x + 6² = $\frac{29 + 72}{2}$

⇒ (x + 6)² = $\frac{101}{2}$ is the answer.

4. x² + 6x - 18 = 0

x² + 6x = 18

⇒ x² + 2(3)x = 18

⇒ x² + 2(3)x + 9 = 18 + 9

⇒ x² + 2(3)x + 3² = 27

⇒ (x + 3)² = 27 is the answer.

5. x² + 8x + 3 = 0

x² + 8x = -3

⇒ x² + 2(4)x = -3

⇒ x² + 2(4)x + 16 = - 3 + 16

⇒ x² + 2(4)x + 16 = 13

⇒ (x + 4)² = 13 is the answer.

6. 9x² - 30x + 6 = 0

9x² - 30x = - 6

⇒ x² $- \frac{30}{9}$ x = - 6

$\implies x^2 -2 \bigg( \frac{15}{9} \bigg )x + \frac{225}{81} = - 6 + \frac{225}{81}$

$\implies x^2 - 2\bigg( \frac{15}{9} \bigg ) x + \bigg ( \frac{15}{9} \bigg ) ^2 = \frac{261}{81}$

$\bigg( x - \frac{15}{9} \bigg) ^2 = \frac{261}{81} = \frac{29}{9}$ is the answer.

Write an equation of the line that passes through (−5, −2)(−5, −2) and is parallel to y=23x+1y=23x+1.

Klio2033 [76]

Assuming you meant 2/3
y=2/3x+1 and (-5,-2)

paralell means same slope
y=mx+b
m=slope

y=2/3x+1
sllope=2/3

point slope
y-y1=m(x-x1)
for slope=m
a point is (x1,y1)

slope=2/3
point=(-5,-2)

y-(-2)=2/3(x-(-5))
y+2=2/3(x+5)
or
y=2/3x+16/3

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\log_ab=c\iff a^c=b\\\\Domain:\ x+2>0\to x>-2\\\\\log_3(x+2)-8=-2\qquad\text{add 8 to both sides}\\\\\log_3(x+2)=6\iff x+2=3^6\\\\x+2=729\qquad\text{subtract 2 from both sides}\\\\x=727\in D$
