If two lines having equations 3x+5y-16=0 and 4y-mx= 20 are parallel, find the value of m

Mathematics
1 answer:
sergejj [24]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

m = -3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

since both lines are given as "parallel", they will have the same slope, so we only need to solve for one.

we will put this equation into slope-intercept form to find the slope

3x + 5y - 16 = 0

3x + 5y = 16

5y = -3x + 16

y = -3/5x + 16/5

m = -3/5

The area of a rectangular cocktail table is x²-18x +32. If the width is x-16, what is it's length?
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for area of rectangle is length x width
And we know that width is x-16
And we know that the area is x^{2} -18x +32

So we know that when x-2 is multiplied with  x-16, it gives off x^{2} -18x +32

Shawn has $12.00  The arcade has an admission fee of $3.00 and then charges $0.25 for each game.
Valentin [98]

Answer:

If I'm not mistaken I believe the answer is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

His total was 12 but then you have to subtract 3 for the admission fee which leaves with $9.

The inequality from option B states that the $3 from the admission and the $0.25 per game would be less than or equal to his total amount of 12.

A company produces steel rods. The lengths of the steel rods are normally distributed with a mean of 111.4-cm and a standard dev
Kipish [7]

Answer:

P(111.2-cm < ¯ x < 111.4-cm) = 0.4726

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 111.4, \sigma = 0.5, n = 23, s = \frac{0.5}{\sqrt{23}} = 0.1043

Find the probability that the average length of a randomly selected bundle of steel rods is between 111.2-cm and 111.4-cm.

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 111.4 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 111.2. So

X = 111.4

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{111.4 - 111.4}{0.1043}

Z = 0

Z = 0 has a pvalue of 0.5.

X = 111.2

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{111.2 - 111.4}{0.1043}

Z = -1.92

Z = -1.92 has a pvalue of 0.0274.

0.5 - 0.0274 = 0.4726

P(111.2-cm < ¯ x < 111.4-cm) = 0.4726

a rectangular block is such that the sides of its base are of the length x cm and 3x cm. The sum of all the lengths of all its e
Xelga [282]

Answer:

15x^2 - 12x^3

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangular block has 3 parts that play into its volume.  length, width and height.  The question gives us length and width in the form of x and 3x, so height is what's missing.

It gives us a bit more information saying the sum of its edges is 20.  We also have to ask how many lengths, widths and heights are there.  That may be a bit hard to understand, but  is you are looking at a block I could ask how many edges are vertical, just going up and down.  These would be the heights.  There are 4 total, and this goes the same for length and width, so 4*length + 4*width and 4*height = 20.  

Taking that and plugging in x for length and 3x for width (or you could do it the other way around, it doesn't matter, you get:

4*x + 4*3x + 4*height = 20

4x + 12x + 4h = 20

16x + 4h = 20

4h = 20 - 16x

h = 5 - 4x

Now we have h in terms of x, which lets us easily find the volume just knowing x.  To find the volume of a rectangular block you just multiply the length, width and height.

x*3x*(5-4x)

3x^2(5-4x)

15x^2 - 12x^3

Question doesn't give a specific value for x at all so you should be done there.  Any number you plug in for x should get you the right answer
