y - 5 = -3(x - 17)

O A. -5
OB. 5
O c. -3
D. 3

Answers

Answer:

C) -3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following equation:

[tex]y-5=-3(x-17)[/tex]

And we want to determine its slope.

Note that this is in point-slope form. Recall that in point-slope form, we have:

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

Where m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is an ordered pair.

From the equation, we can see that the value in front of the parentheses will be the slope of the line.

The value in front of the parentheses of our given equation is -3.

In conclusion, the slope of the line described by the equation is -3.

Hence, our answer is C.  

The automatic opening device of a military cargo parachute has been designed to open when the parachute is 135 m above the ground. Suppose opening altitude actually has a normal distribution with mean value 135 and standard deviation 35 m. Equipment damage will occur if the parachute opens at an altitude of less than 100 m. What is the probability that there is equipment damage to the payload of at least one of five independently dropped parachutes? (Give your answer to four decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

the probability that there is equipment damage to the payload of at least one of five independently dropped parachutes is 0.4215

Step-by-step explanation:

Let consider Q to be the opening altitude.

The mean μ = 135 m

The standard deviation = 35 m

The probability that the equipment damage will occur if the parachute opens at an altitude of less than 100 m can be computed as follows:

[tex]P(Q<100) = P(\dfrac{X- 135}{\sigma} < \dfrac{100 - 135}{35}})[/tex]

[tex]P(Q<100) = P(z< \dfrac{-35}{35}})[/tex]

[tex]P(Q<100) = P(z<-1)[/tex]

[tex]P(Q<100) = 0.1587[/tex]

If we represent R to be the number of parachutes which have equipment damage to the payload out of 5 parachutes dropped.

The probability of success = 0.1587

the number of independent parachute n = 5

the probability that there is equipment damage to the payload of at least one of five independently dropped parachutes can be computed as:

P(R ≥ 1) = 1 - P(R < 1)

P(R ≥ 1) = 1 - P(R = 0)

The probability mass function of the binomial expression is:

P(R ≥ 1) = [tex]1 - (^5_0)(0.1587)^0(1-0.1587)^{5-0}[/tex]

P(R ≥ 1) =[tex]1 - (\dfrac{5!}{(5-0)!})(0.1587)^0(1-0.1587)^{5-0}[/tex]

P(R ≥ 1) = 1 - 0.5785

P(R ≥ 1) = 0.4215

Hence, the probability that there is equipment damage to the payload of at least one of five independently dropped parachutes is 0.4215

what is the 20th term of the arithmetic sequence a(n)=-5+(n-1)3

Answers

Answer:

52

Step-by-step explanation:

a(n)=-5+(n-1)3

a(20)=-5+(20-1)3

a(20)=52

The 20th term of the arithmetic sequence is 52.

What is Arithmetic sequence?

An arithmetic sequence is a list of numbers with a definite pattern. If you take any number in the sequence then subtract it by the previous one, and the result is always the same or constant then it is an arithmetic sequence.

For example,

In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between consecutive terms is always the same. For example, the sequence 3, 5, 7, 9 ... is arithmetic because the difference between consecutive terms is always two.

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is given by an = a + (n – 1)d.

Given:

a(n)=-5+(n-1)3

First term,

a(1)= -5 + 0

a(1)= -5

second, a(2)= -5 + 1*3

a(2)= -2

Third, a(3)= -5+6

a(3)= 1

d= 3

So, the 20th term

a(20)= -5+ (20-1)3

a(20)= -5 + 57

a(20)= 52

Hence, the 20th term is 52.

Answers

Answer:

The inverse is ±sqrt((x-1))/ 4

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 16x^2 + 1

To find the inverse, exchange x and y

x = 16 y^2 +1

Then solve for y

Subtract 1

x-1 = 16 y^2

Divide by 16

(x-1)/16 = y^2

Take the square root of each side

±sqrt((x-1)/16) = sqrt(y^2)

±sqrt((x-1))/ sqrt(16) = y

±sqrt((x-1))/ 4 = y

The inverse is ±sqrt((x-1))/ 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle ABC is a right angled triangle. A right angle triangle has three sides (The hypotenuse which is the longest side and the other two sides which are the adjacent and the opposite).

The side facing the angle of a right angled triangle is the opposite side depending on the angle in consideration.

According to the triangle, AB = hyp = 5, BC = 3 and AC = 4

Side AB is facing the right angle, side BC is opposite to the angle A while side AC is opposite to the angle B.

Based on the conclusion in the last paragraph, it can be concluded that the  length of the side opposite Angle B is AC and since the measurement of AC is 4 units, then the length we are looking for is 4 units.

A triangle has an area of 900m2 . If a parallelogram has the same height and base as the triangle, what is the area of the parallelogram?

Answers

Answer:

1800 [tex]m^{2}[/tex] is the area of parallelogram.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Area of a triangle = 900 [tex]m^{2}[/tex]

To find:

Area of a parallelogram which has same height and base as that of the given triangle.

Solution:

First of all, let us have a look at the formula for Area of a parallelogram:

[tex]Area_{Par} = Base \times Height[/tex] ...... (1)

So as to find the area of a parallelogram, we need to have the product of Base and Height of Parallelogram.

weights of men: 90% confidence; n = 14, x=161.3 lb, s =12.6 lb

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the given degree of confidence and sample data to find a confidence interval for the population standard deviation . Assume that the population has a normal distribution. Round the confidence interval limits to the same number of  decimal places as the sample standard deviation.

Answer: Given that:

Sample size (n) = 14, mean ([tex]\mu[/tex]) = 161.3, standard deviation ([tex]\sigma[/tex]) = 12.6

Confidence(C)= 90% = 0.9

α = 1 - C = 1- 0.9 = 0.1

α/2 = 0.1 / 2 = 0.05

The z score of α/2 correspond to a z score of 0.45 (0.5 - 0.05). This gives:

[tex]z_{\frac{\alpha}{2} }=1.645[/tex]

The margin of error (E) is given by the formula:

[tex]E=z_{\frac{\alpha}{2} }\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } =1.645*\frac{12.6}{\sqrt{14} }=5.5[/tex]

The confidence interval = μ ± E = 161.3 ± 5.5 = (155.8, 166.8)

The confidence interval is between 155.8 lb and 166.8 lb. There is a 90% confidence that the mean is between 155.8 lb and 166.8 lb.

What is the current value of a zero-coupon bond that pays a face value of $1,000 at maturity in 6 years if the appropriate discount rate is 4%.

Answers

Answer:4

Step-by-step explanation:

A zero-coupon bond  doesn’t make any payments. Instead, investors purchase the zero-coupon bond for less than its face value, and when the bond matures, they receive the face value.

To figure the price you should pay for a zero-coupon bond, you'll follow these steps:

Divide your required rate of return by 100 to convert it to a decimal.

Add 1 to the required rate of return as a decimal.

Raise the result to the power of the number of years until the bond matures.

Divide the face value of the bond to calculate the price to pay for the zero-coupon bond to achieve your desired rate of return.

First, divide 4 percent by 100 to get 0.04. Second, add 1 to 0.04 to get 1.04. Third, raise 1.04 to the sixth power to get 1.2653. Lastly, divide the face value of $1,000 by 1.2653 to find that the price to pay for the zero-coupon bond is $790,32.

Acomputer is selected at random and found to be defective. What is the probabilityit came from factory A?

Answers

Answer:

The  probability is   [tex]P(A') = 0.485[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let assume that the number of computer produced by factory C is  k = 1  

 So  From the  question we are told that

       The number produced by  factory A is  4k =  4

        The  number produced by factory B is  7k  = 7

        The  probability of defective computers from A is  [tex]P(A) = 0.04[/tex]

        The  probability of defective computers from B is  [tex]P(B) = 0.02[/tex]

        The  probability of defective computers from C is [tex]P(C) = 0.03[/tex]

Now the probability of factory A producing a defective computer out of the 4 computers produced is  

       [tex]P(a) = 4 * P(A)[/tex]

substituting values

        [tex]P(a) = 4 * 0.04[/tex]

        [tex]P(a) = 0.16[/tex]

The probability of factory B producing a defective computer out of the 7 computers produced is  

       [tex]P(b) = 7 * P(B)[/tex]

substituting values

        [tex]P(b) = 7 * 0.02[/tex]

        [tex]P(b) = 0.14[/tex]

The probability of factory C producing a defective computer out of the 1 computer produced is  

       [tex]P(c) = 1 * P(C)[/tex]

substituting values

        [tex]P(c) = 1 * 0.03[/tex]

        [tex]P(b) = 0.03[/tex]

So the probability that the a computer produced from the three factory will be defective is  

     [tex]P(t) = P(a) + P(b) + P(c)[/tex]

substituting values

     [tex]P(t) = 0.16 + 0.14 + 0.03[/tex]

     [tex]P(t) = 0.33[/tex]

Now the probability that the defective computer is produced from factory A is

      [tex]P(A') = \frac{P(a)}{P(t)}[/tex]

       [tex]P(A') = \frac{ 0.16}{0.33}[/tex]

We know that the y--intercept of a function is the value of the function at x=0.

so, put x=0 in both the functions.

The y-coordinate of the y-intercept of f(x) = [tex]f(0)=\dfrac{1}{5}|0-15|=\dfrac{15}{5}=3[/tex]

The y-coordinate of the y-intercept of g(x) = [tex]g(0)=(0-2)^2=2^2=4[/tex]

As 4 > 3, that means he y-coordinate of the greatest y-intercept is 4.

a person can do a job in 6 day days . another can do the same job in 4days . if they work together, how long do they need to finish the job?

Answers

Answer:

It will take them 2 2/5 days working together

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the time worked

1/a + 1/b = 1/t

Where a and b are the times worked individually and t is the time worked together

1/4 + 1/6 = 1/t

Multiply each side by 12t to clear the fractions

12t( 1/4 + 1/6 = 1/t)

3t + 2t =12

Combine like terms

5t = 12

Divide by 5

t = 12/5

t = 2 2/5

It will take them 2 2/5 days working together

Step-by-step explanation:

We just have to plug in -5 for x and when we do so we get f(-5) = -4 * (-5) - 9 = 20 - 9 = 11.

Amy and Bob decide to paint one wall of a building. Working alone, Amy takes 12 hours to paint the entire wall while Bob takes 18 hours for the same. Amy painted the wall for 4 hours and then Bob took over and completed the wall. How long did it take for them to paint the entire wall

Answers

Answer:

16 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question, we are given the following information

For one wall, working alone,

Amy can paint for 12 hours

Which means, in

1 hour , Amy would have painted = 1/12 of the wall

Bob can paint for 18 hours

Which means ,

in 1 hour, Bob would have painted = 1/18 of the wall.

We are told Amy painted the wall for 4 hours and then Bob took over and completed the wall.

Step 1

Find the portion of the wall Amy painted before Bob took over.

Amy painted the wall for 4 hours before Bob took over.

If:

1 hour = 1/12 of the wall for Amy

4 hours =

Cross multiply

4 × 1/12 ÷ 1

= 4/12 = 1/3

Amy painted one third(1/3) of the wall

Step 2

Find the number of hours left that Bob used in painting the remaining part of the wall

Let the entire wall = 1

If Amy painted 1/3 of the wall

Bob took over and painted = 1 - 1/3

= 2/3 of the wall

If,

Bob painted 1/18 of the wall = 1 hour

2/3 of the wall = ?? = Y

Cross multiply

2/3 × 1 = 1/18 × Y

Y = 2/3 ÷ 1/18

Y = 2/3 × 18/1

Y = 36/3

Y = 12 hours.

This means, the number of hours Bob worked when he took over from Amy = 12 hours.

Step 3

The third and final step is to calculate how many hours it took them to paint the wall

Number of hours painted by Amy + Number of hours painted by Bob

= 4 hours + 12 hours

= 16 hours

Therefore, it took them 16 hours to paint the entire wall.

Answer:

Third option

Step-by-step explanation:

We can't factor this so we need to use the quadratic formula which states that when ax² + bx + c = 0, x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / 2a. However, we notice that b (which is 6) is even, so we can use the special quadratic formula which states that when ax² + bx + c = 0 and b is even, x = (-b' ± √(b'² - ac)) / a where b' = b / 2. In this case, a = 1, b' = 3 and c = 7 so:

x = (-3 ± √(3² - 1 * 7)) / 1 = -3 ± √2
