A medical clinic is reducing the number of incoming patients by giving vaccines before flu season. During week 5 of flu season,

the clinic saw 85 patients. In week 10 of flu season, the clinic saw 65 patients. Assume the reduction in the number of patients each week is linear. Write an equation in function form to show the number of patients seen each week at the clinic.
f(x)=20x+85
f(x)=-20x+85
f(x)=4x+105
f(x)=-4x+105

Answer:

D.f(x) = −4x + 105

D.f(x) = −4x + 105

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the function in linear, we know it has a slope.

We know 2 points

(5,85) and (10,65) are 2 points on the line

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (65-85)/(10-5)

=-20/5

=-4

We know a point and the slope, we can use point slope form to write the equation

y-y1 =m(x-x1)

y-85 = -4(x-5)

Distribute

y-85 = -4x+20

Add 85 to each side

y-85+85 = -4x+20+85

y = -4x+105

Changing this to function form

f(x) =-4x+105

Let's construct an equation for Canton's population increase as 7220+80n and Holly Spring's population increase with 3200+120n, where n is the number of years. We have to set these equations to each other in order to find when the population of these two places are equal. 3200+120n=7220+80n and n=100.5. After 100 and half years

PLEASE HELP I NEED HELPPP.

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rule of radicals

$\sqrt{a}$ × $\sqrt{b}$ ⇔ $\sqrt{ab}$ and

$\sqrt{-1}$ = i

Given

$\sqrt{-75}$

= $\sqrt{25(3)(-1)}$

= $\sqrt{25}$ × $\sqrt{3}$ × $\sqrt{-1}$

= 5 × $\sqrt{3}$ × i

= 5i $\sqrt{3}$ → A

The integers $r$ and $k$ are randomly selected, where $-3 < r < 6$ and $1 < k < 8$. what is the probability that the

e-lub [12.9K]

Denote by $R,K$ the random variables representing the integer values $r,k$ , respectively. Then $R\sim\mathrm{Unif}(-2,5)$ and $K\sim\mathrm{Unif}(2,7)$ , where $\mathrm{Unif}(a,b)$ denotes the discrete uniform distribution over the interval $[a,b]$ . So $R$ and $K$ have probability mass functions

$p_R(r)=\begin{cases}\dfrac18&\text{for }r\in\{-2,-1,\ldots,5\}\\\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

$p_K(k)=\begin{cases}\dfrac16&\text{for }k\in\{2,3,\ldots7\}\\\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

We want to find $P\left(\dfrac RK\equiv0\pmod n\right)$ , where $n$ is any integer.

We have six possible choices for $K$ :

(i) if $K=2$ , then $\dfrac RK$ is an integer when $R=\pm2,0,4$ ;

(ii) if $K=3$ , then $\dfrac RK$ is an integer when $R=0,3$ ;

(iii) if $K=4$ , then $\dfrac RK$ is an integer when $R=0,4$ ;

(iv) if $K=5$ , then $\dfrac RK$ is an integer when $R=0,5$ ;

(v) if $K=6$ or $K=7$ , then $\dfrac RK$ is an integer only when $R=0$ in both cases.

If the selection of $R,K$ are made independently, then the joint distribution is the product of the marginal distribution, i.e.

$p_{R,K}(r,k)=p_R(r)\cdot p_K(k)=\begin{cases}\dfrac1{48}&\text{for }(r,k)\in[-2,5]\times[2,7]\\\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

That is, there are 48 possible events in the sample space. We counted 12 possible outcomes in which $\dfrac RK$ is an integer, so the probability of this happening is $\dfrac{12}{48}=\dfrac14$ .
