Marina simplified the expression 4x + 5(–4x – b) – (x – 2) to be –17x – 8.
What was the value of b?
A. –6
B. –2
C. 2
D. 10

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: C. 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Begin by removing the brackets

4x + 5(-4x - b) = -16x - 5b

-(x - 2) = -x + 2

Add the two binomials together to get the third one

4x -20x - 5b - x + 2 = -17x - 8                 Combine the like terms on both sides

-17x - 5b +2 = -17x - 8                             Add 17x to both sides

-5b + 2 = - 8                                           Subtract 2 from both sides

-5b +2 -2 =- 8 -2                                     Combine    

-5b =  - 10                                               Divide by -5

b = -10/-5

b = 2

In a recent survey of 79 heads of household, 46 said they did online banking on their cell phones. Find the standard error for the sample proportion of heads of household who do online banking on their cell phones. Enter your answer as a decimal rounded to three decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]SE_p = 0.055[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]n = 79[/tex] --- Heads

Proportion, p = 46 out of 79

Required

Determine the standard error for sample proportion (SEp)

This is calculated using the following formula

[tex]SE_p = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

In this case:

[tex]p = \frac{46}{79}[/tex]

[tex]p = 0.5823[/tex]

Substitute values for p and n in:

[tex]SE_p = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]SE_p = \sqrt{\frac{0.5823 * (1-0.5823)}{79}}[/tex]

[tex]SE_p = \sqrt{\frac{0.5823 * 0.4177}{79}}[/tex]

[tex]SE_p = \sqrt{\frac{0.24322671}{79}}[/tex]

[tex]SE_p = \sqrt{0.00307881911}[/tex]

[tex]SE_p = 0.0554871076[/tex]

[tex]SE_p = 0.055[/tex] ---- Approximated

What is the slope of a line represented by 3x-14y=28

Answers

Answer:

3/14

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-14y=28

solve

add -3 both sides

3x−14y+−3x=28+−3x

−14y=−3x+28

divide both sides by -14

y= 3 /14 x−2

y=mx+b

so 3/14 is the slope

I need this answer Help me?

Answers

Answer:

1) 4/35

2) 11/14

3) 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the number of selections possible.

[tex]\frac{10!}{(10-4)!4!} = 210[/tex]

There are 210 possible selections. Now we can determine the possibility for each group. For the first probability, since we only want one member from each committee, you would create a fraction by (group members in total / group member being extracted). For this instance, since its only one, we will do whole numbers. Multiply each other.

[tex]4*3*2*1=24[/tex]

The probability for each member to get selected from each kind is : [tex]24/210[/tex] or can be simplified to [tex]4/35[/tex].

The probability of (I assume) at least one administrator is slightly different. Separate our two selections, the other three and the administrator. Find the number of selections possible for the other three... 4+3+2 = 9 others.

Find the probability for both a administrator included and three others.

[tex]\frac{11}{3} * \frac{1}{1} \\\frac{11!}{(11-3)!3!} \\\\165[/tex]

[tex]\frac{165}{210} = \frac{11}{14}[/tex]

The probability for an administrator and the other three is 165/210 or 11/14.

For the last one, you will figure out what the probability is for no director and use that % to substract from 100.

4+2+1 = 7

Get selections possible.

[tex]\frac{7!}{(7-4)!4!} = 35[/tex]

Get probability of no director.

[tex]\frac{35}{210} = \frac{1}{6}[/tex]

Substract 1/6 from 100%

1 - 1/6 = 5/6

The probability of having at least one director is 5/6.

Answer:

Table (4)

Step-by-step explanation:

If data in the given tables show the proportional relation then they will follow the rule,

y = kx

k = [tex]\frac{y}{x}[/tex]

where 'k' = proportionality constant

From table (1),

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

k = [tex]\frac{3}{2}=1.5[/tex]

But 2 ≠ 1.5

So the data in the table (1) is not proportional.

Table (2)

k = [tex]\frac{0}{2}=0[/tex]

k = [tex]\frac{2}{4}=0.5[/tex]

Therefore, data in the table is not proportional.

Table (3)

k = [tex]\frac{1}{0}[/tex] = Not defined

k = [tex]\frac{3}{2}=1.5[/tex]

Data is not proportional.

Table (4)

k = [tex]\frac{y}{x}=\frac{-6}{-2}[/tex]

  = 3

k = [tex]\frac{3}{1}=3[/tex]

3 = 3

Therefore, data given in table (4) represents the proportional relationship.

perimeter and area of the rrectangle?
What is the perimeter and area of the rectangle

Answers

Answer:

P = 26 units

Area =  42 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the points are showing a rectangle with length with a horizontal segment on the coordinate plane that goes from -3.5 to 3.5 (7 units in length), and width a vertical segment from -3 to 3 (6 units in length).

Therefore the rectangle's perimeter (P) is:

P = 2 L + 2 W = 2* 7 + 2 * 6 = 14 + 12 = 26 units.

The area of the rectangle is given by:

Area = L * W = 7 * 6 = 42 square units.

Answers

Answer:

C) The vectors are orthogonal because the angle between them is 90°.

Step-by-step explanation:

got it right on edge :)

The vectors are orthogonal because the angle between them is 90°. Option C is correct.

What exactly is a vector?

A vector is a quantity with a magnitude, and direction that follows the law of vector addition.

Given data;

u = ⟨1, 0⟩

v= ⟨0, –3⟩

The angle between the vector is found by the formula as;

[tex]\rm cos \theta = \frac{u,v}{|u||v|} \\\\ cos \theta = \frac{(1 \times 0) + (0 \times -3)}{\sqrt{1^2+(-0^2)+\sqrt{0^2+(-3)^2}}} \\\\ cos \theta = 1 \\\\ \theta = cos^{-1}1\\\\ \theta = 90^0[/tex]

Hence option C is correct.
