Answer:

$y=-3x+8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

What we need to know:

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: $y=mx+b$ where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis)
Parallel lines always have the same slope

1) Determine the slope (m)

$y = 4 - 3x\\y = -3x+4$

Given this equation, we can identify the slope to be -3 since it's in the place of m in $y=mx+b$ .

Because parallel lines have the same slope, -3 is therefore the slope of the line we're currently solving for. Plug this into $y=mx+b$ :

$y=-3x+b$

2) Determine the y-intercept (b)

$y=-3x+b$

Plug in the given point (1,5) and solve for b:

$5=-3(1)+b\\5=-3+b\\8=b$

Therefore, the y-intercept is 8. Plug this back into $y=-3x+b$ :

$y=-3x+8$

I hope this helps!

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

550 students are in the school.

Step-by-step explanation:

The way I found my answer was by first turning 74% into a decimal, which is 0.74. Then I divided 407 by 0.74 and I got 550. Therefore, 550 is our answer.

Derivative Notation

Derivative Property [Multiplied Constant]: $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx} [cf(x)] = c \cdot f'(x)$

Derivative Property [Addition/Subtraction]: $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[f(x) + g(x)] = \frac{d}{dx}[f(x)] + \frac{d}{dx}[g(x)]$

Basic Power Rule:

f(x) = cxⁿ
f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

1st Derivative Test - tells us where on the function f(x) does it have a relative maximum or minimum

Critical Numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

$\displaystyle P = \frac{-1}{10}s^3 + 6s^2 + 400$

Step 2: Differentiate

[Function] Derivative Property [Addition/Subtraction]: $\displaystyle P' = \frac{dP}{ds} \bigg[ \frac{-1}{10}s^3 \bigg] + \frac{dP}{ds} [ 6s^2 ] + \frac{dP}{ds} [ 400 ]$
[Derivative] Rewrite [Derivative Property - Multiplied Constant]: $\displaystyle P' = \frac{-1}{10} \frac{dP}{ds} \bigg[ s^3 \bigg] + 6 \frac{dP}{ds} [ s^2 ] + \frac{dP}{ds} [ 400 ]$
[Derivative] Basic Power Rule: $\displaystyle P' = \frac{-1}{10}(3s^2) + 6(2s)$
[Derivative] Simplify: $\displaystyle P' = -\frac{3s^2}{10} + 12s$

Step 3: 1st Derivative Test

[Derivative] Set up: $\displaystyle 0 = -\frac{3s^2}{10} + 12s$
[Derivative] Factor: $\displaystyle 0 = \frac{-3s(s - 40)}{10}$
[Multiplication Property of Equality] Isolate s terms: $\displaystyle 0 = -3s(s - 40)$
[Solve] Find quadratic roots: $\displaystyle s = 0, 40$

∴ s = 0, 40 are our critical numbers.

Step 4: Find Profit

[Function] Substitute in s = 0: $\displaystyle P(0) = \frac{-1}{10}(0)^3 + 6(0)^2 + 400$
[Order of Operations] Evaluate: $\displaystyle P(0) = 400$
[Function] Substitute in s = 40: $\displaystyle P(40) = \frac{-1}{10}(40)^3 + 6(40)^2 + 400$
[Order of Operations] Evaluate: $\displaystyle P(40) = 3600$
