The graph of y=h(x) is a line segment joining the points (1, -5) and (9,1).
Drag the endpoints of the segment below to graph y = h-'(x).

Answers

Answer:

[tex]h^{-1}(x) = \frac{4}{3}x + \frac{23}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Graph h:

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (1,-5)[/tex]

[tex](x_2,y_2) = (9,1)[/tex]

Required

Plot [tex]h^{-1}(x)[/tex]

First, calculate h(x)

Calculate slope (m)

[tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{1--5}{9-1}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{6}{8}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{3}{4}[/tex]

The equation is:

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

So, we have:

[tex]y = \frac{3}{4}(x - 1) -5[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{3}{4}x - \frac{3}{4} -5[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{3}{4}x + \frac{-3 - 20}{4}[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{3}{4}x - \frac{23}{4}[/tex]

Next, calculate [tex]h^{-1}(x)[/tex]

Swap y and x

[tex]x = \frac{3}{4}y - \frac{23}{4}[/tex]

Solve for y

[tex]\frac{3}{4}y = x + \frac{23}{4}[/tex]

Multiply through by 4

[tex]3y = 4x + 23[/tex]

Divide through by 3

[tex]y = \frac{4}{3}x + \frac{23}{3}[/tex]

Replace y with [tex]h^{-1}(x)[/tex]

[tex]h^{-1}(x) = \frac{4}{3}x + \frac{23}{3}[/tex]

Tomas needs lumber to make corner braces for a piece of furniture he is building. He cuts 4 feet from a board that is 8 feet long. With the wood he has left, Tomas makes 18 corner braces of equal size.
How many inches of wood does each brace use? - in​

Answers

18/4, the answer is 4.5, if i understand the problem

Answer:  each brace is 2 & 2/3 inches long

=====================================================

Explanation:

"he cuts 4 feet from a board that's 8 feet long" means that he has 8-4 = 4 feet to work with. This converts to 4*12 = 48 inches.

Next, we cut that into 18 equal pieces

48/18 = 8/3 = 2 & 2/3

This is approximately 2.667 inches

36/7+y(2/7-1/4)=6

y=(6-36/7)/(2/7-1/4)

y=(6/7)/(1/28)

y=24

x=18+y=18+24

u have solve it by finding slope(m)

and substitute is general eq of straight line

y = mx + c

Answer:

y = 2x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

These are actually pretty fun to do once you get the hang of it! Here are the steps!

The formula for slope intercept form is y=mx + b.

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Let's start with finding the y-intercept (also known as b).

To find the y-intercept, look at where the line crosses the y-axis. In your equation, the line crosses the y-axis at -6. Plug -6 in for b in the equation.

y = mx + (-6)

Now were going to find the slope. To find the slope, you need to find the rise over run. To start, first find a point on the graph where the line goes through an integer (just pick one of the blue dots). Then, count how many squares you go up or down, and how many you go to the left or right before you hit the next blue dot. Divide the rise over the run, and you have your slope! Here are the steps for the problem:

To get from one dot to another, you rise up 2 units, and you run to the right 1 unit. Plugging those integers into rise/run, you get 2/1 which simplifies to 2. That's your slope.

Now all we need to do is plug the slope into the formula, and you have your equation!

Teresa received a $90 gift card for a coffee store. she used it in buying some coffee that cost her $8.21 per pound. After buying the coffee, she had $65.37 left on her card. how many pounds of coffee did she buy?​

Answers

Answer:

3 Pounds of Coffee

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much she spent on the pounds of coffee, you would have to takeaway $65.37 away from the total of $90 which will give you $24.63, which is how much she has spent on the coffee. To find out how many pounds of coffee she bought, you would have to divide $24.63 by $8.21 giving you 3, which is how many pounds of coffee Teresa bought.

Find the slope of a line perpendicular to the line 3x – 2y = 5.​

Answers

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

to the the slope of the perpendicular line we must first find the slope of line given in the problem. To do this we must transform this equation into the slope intercept format

The slope intercept form of a liner equation is:

Y = mx + b

Where m is slope and b is the y - intercept value.

solving the equation in the problem for y produces :

3x - 3x + 2y = -3x - 5

0 + 2y = 3x - 5

2y = - 3x - 5

2y = -3x - 5

2 2

y = - 3 x - 5

2. 2

Therefore the slope of this line is m = - 3

2

the slope of perpendicular line is the negative inverse of the slope of the line we are given,or

- 1

m

so for our problem the slope of a perpendicular line is - - 2 = 2

3. 3

The slope of this equation is 3/2 once you rearrange it into slope intercept form: y=3/2x-5/2

The slope of a line perpendicular to this equation is just opposite sign-reciprocal of the Original slope: 3/2

Change the sign to -3/2 and flip it to get -2/3

The answer is -2/3 is the slope of a line perpendicular to the equation 3x - 2y = 5

The set of lifespans of an appliance is normally distributed with a mean of 48 months and a standard deviation of eight months. What is the lifespan of an appliance that has a Z score of -3?

Answers

Answer:

24 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Mean = 48

Standard deviation = 8

Zscore = - 3

Using the relation :

Zscore = (x - mean) / standard deviation

Where, x = score

-3 = (x - 48) / 8

-3 * 8 = x - 48

-24 = x - 48

-24 + 48 = x

24 = x

Score = 24

What is the probability that out of 250 babies born, 110 or fewer will be boys?
Aaaume that boys and girls are equally probable, and round your answer to
the nearest tenth of a percent,
A. 3.3%
B. 75.7%
C. 28.5%
O D. 97.5%

Answers

Answer:

A. 3.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the normal approximation to the binomial to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that [tex]\mu = E(X)[/tex], [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}[/tex].

250 babies, boys and girls equally as likely:

This means that [tex]n = 250, p = 0.5[/tex].

Mean and standard deviation:

[tex]\mu = E(X) = np = 250*0.5 = 125[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{250*0.5*0.5}[/tex]

Probability that out of 250 babies born, 110 or fewer will be boys?

Using continuity correction, this is P(X < 110 + 0.5) = P(X < 110.5), which is the p-value of Z when X = 110.5. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{110.5 - 125}{\sqrt{250*0.5*0.5}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.83[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.83[/tex] has a p-value of 0.033

0.033*100% = 3.3%, so option A.

Answers

Answer:

Time taken for pump B to empty pool = 1 hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Time taken for pump A to empty pool = 4 hour

Time taken together = 48 minutes = 48 / 60 = 4/5 hour

Find:

Time taken for pump B to empty pool

Computation:

Assume;

Time taken for pump B to empty pool = a

1/4 + 1/a = 1 / (4/5)

1/4 + 1/a = 5/4

1/a = 5/4 - 1/4

1/a = (5 - 1) / 4

1/a = 1

a = 1

Time taken for pump B to empty pool = 1 hour.
