Rewrite the equation in Ax+By=C form.Use integers for A, B, and C.y-4=-5(x+1)
The given equation is
[tex]y-4=5(x+1)[/tex]To write the equation in standard form, first, we have to use the distributive property.
[tex]y-4=5x+5[/tex]Now, we subtract 5x and 5 on both sides.
[tex]\begin{gathered} y-4-5x-5=5x+5-5x-5 \\ -5x+y-9=0 \end{gathered}[/tex]Now, we add 9 on each side
[tex]\begin{gathered} -5x+y-9+9=0+9 \\ -5x+y=9 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the standard form of the given equation is[tex]-5x+y=9[/tex]Where A = -5, B = 1, and C = 9.2) From an elevation of 38 feet below sea level, Devin climbed to an elevation of 92 feet abovesea level. How much higher was Devin at the end of his climb than at the beginning?
Ok, so he started at 38 feet below and ended at 92 feet above. 38 below = -38.
The difference in the height is given by
92-(-38) =
92+38 =
130 feet
Devin was 130 feet higher at the end of climbing.
What is the volume of this sphere? Use a ~ 3.14 and round your answer to the nearest! hundredth. 5 m cubic meters
We will have the following:
[tex]V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3[/tex]Now, we replace the values and solve:
[tex]V=\frac{4}{3}(3.14)(5)^3\Rightarrow V\approx523.33[/tex]So, the volume of the sphere is approximately 523.33 cubic meters.
***Example with an 8 m radius***
If the radius of the sphere were of 8 meters, we would have:
[tex]V=\frac{4}{3}(3.14)(8)^3\Rightarrow V\approx2143.57[/tex]So, the volume of such a sphere would be approximately 2143.57 cubic meters.

This is a compound interest question and we have been given:
Principal (P) = $24000
Rate (r) = 7.25%
Years (t) = 10
However, we are told this value is compounded continuously. This means that for every infinitesimal time period, the value keeps being compounded.
The formula for finding the compound interest is:
[tex]\text{Amount}=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]But because the compounding period is continuous and therefore, infinitesimal,
[tex]\begin{gathered} Amount=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt} \\ But, \\ n\to\infty \\ \\ \therefore Amount=\lim _{n\to\infty}P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt} \end{gathered}[/tex]This is similar to the general formula for Euler's number (e) which is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Amount}=\lim _{n\to\infty}P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt} \\ \text{This can be re-written as:} \\ \\ Amount=\lim _{n\to\infty}P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{\frac{n}{r}\times r\times t}\text{ (move P out of the limit because it is a constant)} \\ \\ \text{Amount}=P\lim _{n\to\infty}((1+\frac{r}{n})^{\frac{n}{r}})^{r\times t} \\ \\ \text{Amount}=P(\lim _{n\to\infty}(1+\frac{r}{n})^{\frac{n}{5}})^{rt} \\ \\ \text{but,} \\ e=(\lim _{n\to\infty}(1+\frac{r}{n})^{\frac{n}{r}} \\ \\ \therefore\text{Amount}=Pe^{rt} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, we can find the amount of money in the account after 10 years:

Let Z be the random variable representing the number of blue balls. Construct the probability distribution and histogram of the random variable Z.
ANSWER and EXPLANATION
Let R represent the number of red balls.
Let B represent the number of blue balls.
There are four possible outcomes when the balls are picked:
[tex]\lbrace RR,RB,BR,BB\rbrace[/tex]We have that Z is the random variable that represents the number of blue balls.
This implies that the possible values of Z are:
To construct the probability distribution, we have to find the probabilities of each of the outcomes:
[tex]\begin{gathered} P(RR)=\frac{5}{11}*\frac{4}{10}=\frac{2}{11} \\ P(RB)=\frac{5}{11}*\frac{6}{10}=\frac{3}{11} \\ P(BR)=\frac{5}{11}*\frac{6}{10}=\frac{3}{11} \\ P(BB)=\frac{6}{11}*\frac{5}{10}=\frac{3}{11} \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the probabilities for the possible outcomes of the random variable are:
[tex]\begin{gathered} P(Z=0)=\frac{2}{11} \\ P(Z=1)=\frac{3}{11}+\frac{3}{11}=\frac{6}{11} \\ P(Z=2)=\frac{3}{11} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the probability distribution is:
Now, let us plot the histogram:
That is the answer.

The sum of two numbers is 51. One number is 15 more than the other. What is the smaller number. Try solving this by writing a system of equations and substitution.
Let's convert the given relationships into an equation.
Let's name the two number x and y.
The sum of the two numbers is 51: x + y = 51
One number is 15 more than the other: x = y + 15
Using the equations that we generated from the given relationships, let's determine the value of the two numbers by substitution.
Let's substitute x = y + 15 to x + y = 51.
[tex]\text{ x + y = 51 }\rightarrow\text{ (y + 15) + y = 51}[/tex][tex]\text{ y + 15 + y = 51 }\rightarrow\text{ 2y = 51 - 15}[/tex][tex]\text{ 2y = 36 }\rightarrow\text{ y = }\frac{36}{2}[/tex][tex]\text{ y = 18}[/tex]Since we now get the value of y, y = 18, let's determine the value of x.
[tex]\text{ x = y + 15 }\rightarrow\text{ x = 18 + 15}[/tex][tex]\text{ x = 33}[/tex]Therefore, the value of the two numbers is 18 and 33.

The two composite functions have their values to be (w o s)(x) = 7x² - 49x + 33 and (s o w)(x) = (7x - 2)² - 7(7x - 2) + 5
How to determine the composite functions?Composite function 1
The given parameters are
w(x) = 7x - 2
s(x) = x² - 7x + 5
To calculate (w o s)(x), we make use of
(w o s)(x) = w(s(x))
So, we have
(w o s)(x) = 7s(x) - 2
Substitute s(x) = x² - 7x + 5
(w o s)(x) = 7(x² - 7x + 5) - 2
Expand
(w o s)(x) = 7x² - 49x + 35 - 2
Simplify
(w o s)(x) = 7x² - 49x + 33
Composite function 2
Here, we have
w(x) = 7x - 2
s(x) = x² - 7x + 5
To calculate (s o w)(x), we make use of
(s o w)(x) = s(w(x))
So, we have:
(s o w)(x) = w(x)² - 7w(x) + 5
Substitute w(x) = 7x - 2
(s o w)(x) = (7x - 2)² - 7(7x - 2) + 5
So, the composite functions are (w o s)(x) = 7x² - 49x + 33 and (s o w)(x) = (7x - 2)² - 7(7x - 2) + 5

Katherine bought à sandwich for 5 1/2 dollar and a adrink for $2.60.If she paid for her meal with a $ 10 bill how much money did she have left?
To find out how much Katherin have left we need to substrac the amount she spent:

To do this same problem in fraction form we need to convert the 2.6 in fraction, to do this we multiply the number by 10 and divided by ten. Then:
[tex]2.6\cdot\frac{10}{10}=\frac{26}{10}=\frac{13}{5}[/tex]then we have:

y=6/5x+9 how would I graph it
To graph this linear function, we can find both intercepts of the function. To achieve this, we need to solve the equation when y = 0 (for this function) (this will be the x-intercept), and then we need to solve the resulting equation for this function when x = 0 (this will be the y-intercept). Then, we will have two points for which we can graph the function - we need to remember that a line is defined by two points.
Then, we can proceed as follows:
1. Finding the x-intercept[tex]y=\frac{6}{5}x+9,y=0\Rightarrow0=\frac{6}{5}x+9[/tex]Then, we have:
a. Add -9 to both sides of the equation:
[tex]\frac{6}{5}x=-9[/tex]b. Multiply both sides of the equation by 5/6:
[tex]\frac{5}{6}\frac{6}{5}x=-9\cdot\frac{5}{6}\Rightarrow x=-\frac{45}{6}=-\frac{15}{2}=-7.5[/tex]Therefore, the x-intercept is (-7.5, 0).
2. Finding the y-interceptWe have that x = 0 in this case. Then, we have:
[tex]y=\frac{6}{5}x+9\Rightarrow y=\frac{6}{5}(0)+9\Rightarrow y=9[/tex]Therefore, the y-intercept is (0, 9).
Now, we have the points (-7.5, 0) and (0, 9), and we can draw both points on the coordinate plane. The line will pass through these two points:

This type of function is non linear.
Define function.A mathematical phrase, rule, or law that establishes the link between an independent variable and a dependent variable (the dependent variable). A function, according to a technical definition, is a relationship between a set of inputs and a set of potential outputs, where each input is connected to precisely one output. You can tell if a relation is a function by looking at the inputs (the x-coordinates) and outputs (the y-coordinates). Keep in mind that each input has only one output in a function. A function is an equation with a single solution for y for each value of x. Each input of a particular type receives exactly one output when using a function.

Mr. and Mrs. Hill hope to send their son to college in fourteen years. How much money should they invest now at an interest rate of 9.5% per year, compounded continuously, in order to be able to contribute $8500 to his education?Round your answer to the nearest cent.
continuouslyUsing the formula for a compounded continously
[tex]P=P_0\cdot e^{r\cdot t}[/tex]where P is the amount on the account after t years compounded at an interest rate r when Po is invested in an account.
then,
[tex]\begin{gathered} 8500=P_0\cdot e^{0.095\cdot14} \\ 8500=P_{0^{}}\cdot e^{1.33} \\ P_0=\frac{8500}{e^{1.33}} \\ P_0=2248.056\approx2248.06 \end{gathered}[/tex]
