Answer:
There are 1,892,800,000 different standard plates that are possible in this system
Step-by-step explanation:
The plates follow the following format:
D - D - L - L - L - D - D - D
For each digit there are 10 possible outcomes, and for each letter there are 26 possible outcomes.
So, there are
10*10*26*26*28*10*10*10 = 1,892,800,000
different standard plates that are possible in this system
The least squares method will minimize the sum of squares error when describing the equation that best fits the ordered pairs.
The answer is A: a slope of 2/9
First you need to change find the y-intercept by converting the standard form equation to slope-intercept form. The goal is to isolate y:
x + 4y = 12
x + 4y - x = 12 - x
4y = 12 - x
4y / 4 = 12/4 - x
y = 3 - x
Change so that the slope is before the intercept:
y = -x + 3
Now we know that the y-intercept is 3.
Use the slope equation, which is y2 - y1/x2 - x1, is find the slope:
5 - 3/9 - 0 = 2/9
So, the slope is 2/9!
