Find an equation of the line having slope -2 that passes through the point (1, 5)

Alenkasestr [34]

Slope of -2, (1,5)

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -2
(1,5)...x = 1 and y = 5
now we sub and find b, the y int
5 = -2(1) + b
5 = -2 + b
5 + 2 = b
7 = b
so ur equation is : y = -2x + 7

The approximation method used to estimate a point between 2 given points is called linear interpolation. The approximation method used to estimate a point that does not lie between 2 given points is called linear extrapolation.A linear function has the form f(x) = mx + b. Its graph is a line that has slope m and y intercept at (0,b).

Given: ΔABC; b= 10; c = 14, and ∠A = 54°. Find the length of side a to the nearest whole number.

algol13

We can solve for the length of side a to the nearest whole number using the Laws of Cosines such as the formula is shown below:
a²=b²+c²-2bcCosA
Solving for the value of a, we have:
a²=10²+14²-2(10)(14)cos54°
a²=131.42
a=11.46
The answer is 11.46 or 11.5.

Given f(x) = 2 sin x, find the exact value of f (7pi/6) in simplest form with a rational denominator.

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

$\bold{f(\frac{7\pi}6)=-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(\frac{7\pi}6)=2\sin(\frac{7\pi}6)=2\sin(\frac{7\pi}6)=2\sin(\pi+\frac{\pi}6)=-2\sin(\frac{\pi}6)=-2\cdot\frac12=-1$

A Pew Internet poll asked cell phone owners about how they used their cell phones. One question asked whether or not during the

EastWind [94]

Answer:

a) $\hat p=\frac{471}{1024}=0.460$

The standard error is given by:

$SE= \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.460(1-0.460)}{1024}}=0.0156$

And the margin of error is given by:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}=1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.460(1-0.460)}{1024}}=0.0305$

b) The 99% confidence interval would be given by (0.429;0.491)

Step-by-step explanation:

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})$

Data given and notation

n=1024 represent the random sample taken

X=471 represent the people responded that they had used their cell phone while in a store within the last 30 days to call a friend or family member for advice about a purchase they were considering

$\hat p=\frac{471}{1024}=0.460$ estimated proportion of people responded that they had used their cell phone while in a store within the last 30 days to call a friend or family member for advice about a purchase they were considering

p= population proportion of people responded that they had used their cell phone while in a store within the last 30 days to call a friend or family member for advice about a purchase they were considering

Part a

The confidence interval would be given by this formula

$\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}$

For the 95% confidence interval the value of $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$ and $\alpha/2=0.025$ , with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.
