(a) Write the point–slope form of a function that has a slope of -3 and passes through the point (11, 2).

1 answer:

8 0

a. Point-slope form is: y - y0 = m(x - x0). Plugging in our values, we get: y - 2 = -3(x - 11). Typically we can just leave it like this, but for the sake of simplifying it down to slope-intercept form, it would be y = -3x + 35.

b. y - 2 = -3((0) - 11)

y - 2 = 33

y = 35.

c. y = -3x + 35.

Edit: Bolded the last answer.

B ^ 2 - 4b - 14 = 0

Blizzard [7]

Simplifying
b2 + -4b + -14 = 0

Reorder the terms:
-14 + -4b + b2 = 0

Solving
-14 + -4b + b2 = 0

Solving for variable 'b'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '14' to each side of the equation.
-14 + -4b + 14 + b2 = 0 + 14

Reorder the terms:
-14 + 14 + -4b + b2 = 0 + 14

Combine like terms: -14 + 14 = 0
0 + -4b + b2 = 0 + 14
-4b + b2 = 0 + 14

Combine like terms: 0 + 14 = 14
-4b + b2 = 14

The b term is -4b. Take half its coefficient (-2).
Square it (4) and add it to both sides.

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4b + 4 + b2 = 14 + 4

Reorder the terms:
4 + -4b + b2 = 14 + 4

Combine like terms: 14 + 4 = 18
4 + -4b + b2 = 18

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(b + -2)(b + -2) = 18

Calculate the square root of the right side: 4.242640687

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting
(b + -2) equal to 4.242640687 and -4.242640687. b + -2 = 4.242640687

Simplifying
b + -2 = 4.242640687

Reorder the terms:
-2 + b = 4.242640687

Solving
-2 + b = 4.242640687

Solving for variable 'b'.

Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '2' to each side of the equation.
-2 + 2 + b = 4.242640687 + 2

Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0
0 + b = 4.242640687 + 2
b = 4.242640687 + 2

Combine like terms: 4.242640687 + 2 = 6.242640687
b = 6.242640687
Simplifying
B = 6.242640687

Subproblem 2
b + -2 = -4.242640687

Simplifying
b + -2 = -4.242640687

Reorder the terms:
-2 + b = -4.242640687

Solving
-2 + b = -4.242640687

Solving for variable 'b'.

Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '2' to each side of the equation.
-2 + 2 + b = -4.242640687 + 2

Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0
0 + b = -4.242640687 + 2
b = -4.242640687 + 2

Combine like terms: -4.242640687 + 2 = -2.242640687
b = -2.242640687

Simplifying
b = -2.242640687

What does you meanb in math

fredd [130]

The mean is the average.
To find the mean, you add up all the numbers, and then divide by the number of numbers.

The overhead reach distances of adult females are normally distributed with a mean of 205 cm and a standard deviation of 8.3 cm.

Gre4nikov [31]

a. Find the probability that an individual distance is greater than 214.30 cm

We find for the value of z score using the formula:

z = (x – u) / s

z = (214.30 – 205) / 8.3

z = 1.12

Since we are looking for x > 214.30 cm, we use the right tailed test to find for P at z = 1.12 from the tables:

P = 0.1314

b. Find the probability that the mean for 20 randomly selected distances is greater than 202.80 cm

We find for the value of z score using the formula:

z = (x – u) / s

z = (202.80 – 205) / 8.3

z = -0.265

Since we are looking for x > 202.80 cm, we use the right tailed test to find for P at z = -0.265 from the tables:

P = 0.6045

c. Why can the normal distribution be used in part (b), even though the sample size does not exceed 30?

I believe this is because we are given the population standard deviation sigma rather than the sample standard deviation. So we can use the z test.
