Answer:

$y=\frac{4}{3}x+2$

Step-by-step explanation:

using two points you can find the slope of the line using the formula $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

plugging in the x- and y- values into the equation above, you'll get:

$m=\frac{-2-10}{-3-6}=\frac{-12}{-9}=\frac{4}{3}$

so far, you have $y = \frac{4}{3}x+b$

using any of the two points, you can solve for b. in this case, the point (-3, -2) is used.

$-2=\frac{4}{3}(-3)+b\\-2=-4+b\\-2+4=-4+b+4\\2=b$

the overall equation is $y=\frac{4}{3}x+2$

Statistical models predict that the price (in dollars) of a 500 GB hard drive will change according to the function p(t) = 600 −

Leni [432]

Let p be a fixed value of price. The expression for t given a value of p is as follows:

$p=600-2t^2\\2t^2 = 600-p\\t^2 = \frac{600-p}{2}\\|t| = \sqrt{\frac{600-p}{2}}\\t=\sqrt{\frac{600-p}{2}},\,\,\,\,\,\,t\geq 0,\,\,p\leq 600$

Let V be the vector space P3[x] of polynomials in x with degree less than 3 and W be the subspace

Pepsi [2]

By definition, the span of two vectors is the set of all possible linear combinations of said vectors. So, any element in W is obtaining by choosing two numbers a,b and building

$a(7-8x-8x^2)+b(x^2-(5+6x)) = -8ax^2-8ax+7a+bx^2-6bx-5b$

(a)

So, you can show a nonzero polynomial in W by choosing any values of a and b, as long as they're not both zero. To keep it as simple as possible, we can choose for example a=1, b=0 and we obtain one of the base vectors of W:

$7-8x-8x^2$

(b)

Factoring the powers of x, we see that a generic polynomial in W looks like

$(b-8a)x^2-(8a+6b)x+7a-5b$

So, we must build a polynomial

$dx^2+ex+f$

such that it is not possible that

$\begin{cases}d=b-8a\\e=8a+6b\\f=7a-5b\end{cases}$

For example, let's try the polynomial $x^2+x+1$

We should solve the system

$\begin{cases}b-8a=1\\8a+6b=1\\7a-5b=1\end{cases}$

And you can check that it has no solutions. So, the polynomial $x^2+x+1$ does not belong to W. On the other hand, it surely belongs to V, because it is a polynomial with degree less than 3. So, the polynomial $x^2+x+1$ belongs to V/W.
