Answer:

y=-3x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

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

m=(-8-7)/(4-(-1))

m=-15/(4+1)

m=-15/5

m=-3

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-7=-3(x-(-1))

y-7=-3(x+1)

y=-3x-3+7

y=-3x+4

Express p in terms of q if

Irina-Kira [14]

$p=x^2+\dfrac{1}{x^2}\\\\p=\dfrac{x^4}{x^2}+\dfrac{1}{x^2}\\\\p=\dfrac{x^4+1}{x^2}\qquad(*)$

$q=x+\dfrac{1}{x}\\\\q=\dfrac{x^2}{x}+\dfrac{1}{x}\\\\q=\dfrac{x^2+1}{x}\qquad\text{square both sides}\\\\q^2=\left(\dfrac{x^2+1}{x}\right)^2\\\\q^2=\dfrac{(x^2+1)^2}{x^2}\qquad\text{use}\ \ (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\\\\q^2=\dfrac{(x^2)^2+2(x^2)(1)+1^2}{x^2}\\\\q^2=\dfrac{x^4+2x^2+1}{x^2}\\\\q^2=\dfrac{x^4+1}{x^2}+\dfrac{2x^2}{x^2}\\\\q^2=\dfrac{x^4+1}{x^2}+2\qquad\text{subtract 2 from both sides}\\\\q^2-2=\dfrac{x^4+1}{x^2}\\\\\text{From (*) we have}\\\\\boxed{p=q^2-2}$

It’s a new semester! Students are grouped into three clubs, which each has 10, 4 and 5 students. In how many ways can teacher se

ozzi

Here we must see in how many different ways we can select 2 students from the 3 clubs, such that the students <em>do not belong to the same club. </em>We will see that there are 110 different ways in which 2 students from different clubs can be selected.

So there are 3 clubs:

Club A, with 10 students.
Club B, with 4 students.
Club C, with 5 students.

The possible combinations of 2 students from different clubs are

Club A with club B
Club A with club C
Club B with club C.

The number of combinations for each of these is given by the product between the number of students in the club, so we get:

Club A with club B: 10*4 = 40
Club A with club C: 10*5 = 50
Club B with club C. 4*5 = 20

For a total of 40 + 50 + 20 = 110 different combinations.

This means that there are 110 different ways in which 2 students from different clubs can be selected.
