It can be shown that the line with intercepts (a, 0) and (0, b) has the following equation:
x/a + y/b= 1, a ≠ 0, b ≠ 0.

Use this result to write an equation of the line.

Point on line:

(−2, 4)

x-intercept: (a, 0)

y-intercept: (0, a)

(a ≠ 0)

Answers

Answer 1

The equation of the straight line is [tex]x+y=2[/tex].

Given:

The line with intercepts (a,0) and (0,b) has the equation [tex]\frac{x}{a} +\frac{y}{b} =1, a\neq 0, b\neq 0[/tex] Point on the line: (-2, 4)x-intercept: (a, 0)y-intercept: (0, a)[tex]a\neq 0[/tex]

To find: The equation of this line

It is given that a line with intercepts (a,0) and (0,b) has the equation [tex]\frac{x}{a} +\frac{y}{b} =1, a\neq 0, b\neq 0[/tex]

Now, it is given that the referred line has intercepts (a, 0) and (0, a). Then, using the above statement, the equation of this line can be written as,

[tex]\frac{x}{a} +\frac{y}{a}=1[/tex]. It is already given that [tex]a\neq 0[/tex]. So, we need not mention it again.

It is also given that the point (-2, 4) lies on this line. Then, the coordinates of this point must satisfy the equation of the line.

This implies that,

[tex]\frac{-2}{a} +\frac{4}{a} =1[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2}{a} =1[/tex]

[tex]a=2[/tex]

Now, put [tex]a=2[/tex] in the equation of the line, [tex]\frac{x}{a} +\frac{y}{a}=1[/tex] to get,

[tex]\frac{x}{2} +\frac{y}{2} =1[/tex]

[tex]x+y=2[/tex]

So, the equation of the line is [tex]x+y=2[/tex].

Answers

Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the multiples of 8

8,16,24,32,40,48

48 is between 45 and 50 so he must have bought 48

Answer:

6 bottles

Step-by-step explanation:

For this question we need to know the multiple of 8 which are:

8 x 1 = 8

8 x 2 = 16

8 x 3 = 24

8 x 4 = 32

8 x 5 = 40

8 x 6 = 48

8 x 7 = 56

There is only one multiple, which is greater than 45 but less than 50, which is 8x6 l.

This means he bought 6 bottles.

A general wishes to draw up his 7500 soldiers in the form of a square. After arranging, he found out that some of them are left out. How many soldiers were left out ?​

Answers

If you want to form a square of 7500 soldiers, the side of the square must be [tex]\sqrt{7500}\approx86.6[/tex] soliders.

But since you cannot have 0.6 solider, the general needs to find the closest perfect square to the number 7500 which is less than 7500.

That number is 7396 which when square rooted gives 86 soliders on the side.

Subtract 7396 from 7500 and get how many soliders were left out,

[tex]7500-7396=\boxed{104}[/tex]

In a lottery game, a single ball is drawn at random from a container that contains 25 identical balls numbered from 1 through 25. Use the equation P(AUB)=P(A) + P(B) - P(ANB), where A and B are any events, to compute the probability that the number drawn is prime or greater than 12.

The probability that the number drawn is prime or greater than 12 is : ___________

Answers

Answer:

17/25

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the probability of two events that are not mutually exclusive is:

p(A ∨ B) = p(A) + p(B) - p(A ∧ B)

A = the number is prime

B = the number is prime

The numbers are:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25

Here are the 8 prime numbers that satisfy event A:

3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23

p(A) = 8/25

Here are the 13 numbers that are greater than 12 that satisfy event B:

13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25

p(B) = 13/25

Here are the 4 numbers that satisfy both event A and event B:

13, 17, 19, 23

p(A ∧ B) = 4/25

p(A ∨ B) = p(A) + p(B) - p(A ∧ B)

p(A ∨ B) = 8/25 + 13/25 - 4/25

p(A ∨ B) = 17/25

The probability that the number drawn is prime or greater than 12 = [tex]\frac{18}{25}[/tex]

What is probability?

"Probability is a branch of mathematics which deals with finding out the likelihood of the occurrence of an event."

Formula of the probability of an event A is:

P(A) = n(A)/n(S)

where,  n(A) is the number of favorable outcomes, n(S) is the total number of events in the sample space.

For given question,

In a lottery game, a single ball is drawn at random from a container that contains 25 identical balls numbered from 1 through 25.

n(S) = 25

Let event A: the number drawn is prime

The prime numbers from 1 to 25 are:

2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23

So, n(A) = 9

The  probability that the number drawn is prime,

[tex]P(A)=\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}\\\\ P(A)=\frac{9}{25}[/tex]

Let event B: the number drawn is greater than 12

So, n(B) = 13

The probability that the number drawn is greater than 12,

[tex]P(B)=\frac{n(B)}{n(S)}\\\\ P(B)=\frac{13}{25}[/tex]

The number drawn is prime as well as greater than 12.

Such numbers are : 13, 17, 19, 23

n(A ∩ B) = 4

So, the probability that the number drawn is prime as well as greater than 12,

[tex]P(A\cap B)=\frac{n(A\cap B)}{n(s)}\\\\ P(A\cap B)=\frac{4}{25}[/tex]

Using the equation P(AUB) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B) to find the probability that the number drawn is prime or greater than 12,

[tex]\Rightarrow P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)\\\\\Rightarrow P(A\cup B)=\frac{9}{25}+ \frac{13}{25} -\frac{4}{25} \\\\\Rightarrow P(A\cup B)=\frac{9+13-4}{25}\\\\ \Rightarrow P(A\cup B)=\frac{18}{25}[/tex]

Therefore, the probability that the number drawn is prime or greater than 12 = [tex]\frac{18}{25}[/tex]

Previous studies suggest that use of nicotine-replacement therapies and antidepressants can help people stop smoking. The New England Journal of Medicine published the results of a double-blind, placebo-controlled experiment to study the effect of nicotine patches and the antidepressant bupropion on quitting smoking. The target for quitting smoking was the 8th day of the experiment.
In this experiment researchers randomly assigned smokers to treatments. Of the 162 smokers taking a placebo, 28 stopped smoking by the 8th day. Of the 272 smokers taking only the antidepressant buproprion, 82 stopped smoking by the 8th day.
Calculate the 99% confidence interval to estimate the treatment effect of buproprion (placebo-treatment). (The standard error is about 0.0407. Use critical value z = 2.576.)

Using the z-distribution, it is found that the 99% confidence interval to estimate the treatment effect of buproprion (placebo-treatment) is (-0.234, -0.024).

What is a t-distribution confidence interval?

The confidence interval is:

[tex]\overline{x} \pm zs[/tex]

In which:

[tex]\overline{x}[/tex] is the sample mean.z is the critical value.s is the standard error.

In this problem, we are given that z = 2.576, s = 0.0407. The sample mean is the difference of the proportions, hence:

[tex]\overline{x} = \frac{28}{162} - \frac{82}{272} = -0.129[/tex]

Then, the bounds of the interval are given by:

[tex]\overline{x} - zs = -0.129 - 2.576(0.0407) = -0.234[/tex]

[tex]\overline{x} + zs = -0.129 + 2.576(0.0407) = -0.024[/tex]

How to find Joint and Combined variation?

Answers

Answer:

W is multiplied by 8

Step-by-step explanation:

If W varies jointly with x, y, and z, we can say that

W = k (xyz), with k being a constant for our original equation. We are asked what will happen to W if x, y, and z are each doubled. To figure this out, we can go back to our equation,

W = k (xyz)

First, we can double x, meaning that we multiply it by 2. Doing this, we get

W = k (2x * y * z)

Then, we can double y and z in a similar fashion, resulting in

W = k (2x * 2y * 2z)

W = 8 * k (xyz)

The new W, after all the doubling, is equal to 8 * k * x * y * z. The old W is equal to k * x * y * z. It can be determined that the new W is equal to 8 * the old W, so W is multiplied by 8
