Hi!
This equation is written in ' y = mx + b ' form, where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.
Therefore, looking at this equation, we can see that 16 is the y-intercept.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you need any other help :D
Answer:
the y intercept is (0,16)
Step-by-step explanation:
In an equation like this y= 5x+16. The number next to x would be the slope and the number after the x would be the y intercept.

This is a classic find the vertex of a parabola question.
if this was a calculus class the solution would be to take the derivative and set it equal to zero... -32t+ 105 = 0
BUT i assume that you are not in a calculus class..
so we try plan "B" the highest (or lowest) point of parabola is it's vertex
the vertex formula is [-b/2a,f(-b/2a)]
in your problem a = -16, b=105, c= 5
so the "X" (TIME) is located at -(105)/(2*-16) = 3.28
plug in 3.28 into -16(3.28)^2 + 105(3.28) + 5 = 177.27
and you will get

A common inhabitant of human intestines is the bacterium Escherichia coli, named after the German pediatrician Theodor Escherich, who identified it in 1885. A cell of this bacterium in a nutrient-broth medium divides into two cells every 20 minutes. The initial population of a culture is 50 cells.
Required:
a. Find the relative growth rate.
b. Find an expression for the number of cells after t hours.
c. Find the rate of growth after 6 hours. (Round your answer to the nearest integer.)
d. Find the number of cells after 6 hours.
Answer:
a. Relative Growth rate = 10% (6/60 * 100)
b. Number of cells after t hours = 50 * 1.1^t
c. Rate of growth after 6 hours = 77.2% (1.1⁶ - 1)
d. The number of cells after 6 hours is
= 89 cells
Step-by-step explanation:
A cell divides into two cells every 20 minutes
In one hour, the cell will divide into 60/20 * 2 = 6 cells
Each cell growth 6 cells per hour
Initial population of a culture = 50 cells
t = time in hours
a. Relative Growth rate = 10% (6/60 * 100)
b. Number of cells after t hours = 50 * 1.1^t
c. Rate of growth after 6 hours = 77.2% (1.1⁶ - 1)
d. The number of cells after 6 hours = initial population * growth factor
= 50 * 1.772
= 88.6
= 89 cells
What is the mean of 86, 80, and 95
87 is the mean.
To find the mean, you must
- add all of the numbers
- divide by the amount of numbers given
In this case, you would want to do (86 + 80 + 95)/3. This would give you an answer of 87.
A certain test preparation course is designed to help students improve their scores on the LSAT exam. A mock exam is given at the beginning and end of the course to determine the effectiveness of the course. The following measurements are the net change in 5 students' scores on the exam after completing the course: 16, 21, 22, 12, 22
Using these data, construct a 90% confidence interval for the average net change in a student's score after completing the course. Assume the population is approximately normal. Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to three decimal places.
Answer:
The critical value used is [tex]T_c = 2.132[/tex]
The 90% confidence interval for the average net change in a student's score after completing the course is (14.357, 22.843).
Step-by-step explanation:
Before building the confidence interval, we need to find the sample mean and the sample standard deviation.
Sample mean:
[tex]\overline{x} = \frac{16+21+22+12+22}{5} = 18.6[/tex]
Sample standard deviation:
[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{(16-18.6)^2+(21-18.6)^2+(22-18.6)^2+(12-18.6)^2+(22-18.6)^2}{4}} = 4.45[/tex]
Confidence interval:
We have the standard deviation for the sample, so the t-distribution is used to solve this question.
The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom,which is the sample size subtracted by 1. So
df = 5 - 1 = 4
90% confidence interval
Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 4 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.95[/tex]. So we have T = 2.132. The critical value used is [tex]T_c = 2.132[/tex]
The margin of error is:
[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.132\frac{4.45}{\sqrt{5}} = 4.243[/tex]
In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.
The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 18.6 - 4.243 = 14.357
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 18.6 + 4.243 = 22.843.
The 90% confidence interval for the average net change in a student's score after completing the course is (14.357, 22.843).
Andre owns a computer backup service. He charges his customers $2.50 for each backup CD. His expenses include $875 for the CD recording equipment and $0.35 for each blank CD. Which equation could Andre use to calculate his profit p for the recording of n CDs?
Answer:
[tex]p =2.15n - 875[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]CD_s= n[/tex]
[tex]Charges = 2.50[/tex] per CD
Expenses
[tex]E_1 = 875[/tex]
[tex]E_2 = 0.35[/tex] per CD
Required
The profit (p)
First, calculate the total income on n CDs
[tex]Total = Charges * n[/tex]
[tex]Total = 2.50 * n[/tex]
[tex]Total = 2.50n[/tex]
Next, the expenses on n CDs
[tex]Expenses = E_1 + E_2 * n[/tex]
[tex]Expenses = 875 + 0.35 * n[/tex]
[tex]Expenses = 875 + 0.35n[/tex]
The profit (p) is:
[tex]p = Total - Expenses[/tex]
[tex]p =2.50n - (875 + 0.35n)[/tex]
Open bracket
[tex]p =2.50n - 875 - 0.35n[/tex]
Collect like terms
[tex]p =2.50n - 0.35n - 875[/tex]
[tex]p =2.15n - 875[/tex]

It is claimed that the average child has no time to go to school. For the child spends 8 hours per day,or one third of his/her time sleeping. Based on a 365 day year, that’s 121.67days sleeping. Also the child spends three hours per day eating. That’s a total of 45 days in the year spent eating. Also the child spends 90 days taking summer vacation. Also the child spends 21 days on Christmas and Easter holiday. Finally, the child has each Saturday and Sunday off. That’s a total of 104 days. In short, we (rounding to whole days accounted for 122+45+90+21+104=382 days of the year taken up by ordinary child inlike activities. This is already more than the 365 days that are known to comprise a year. We conclude that there is certainly no time for the child to attend school. What is wrong with this reasoning?
Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Sleeping:
8/24 * 365 = 121.76 days
Eating:
3/24 * 365 = 45.63 days
Total sleeping and eating: 167 days
Summer Vacation & Holidays:
90 + 21 = 111 days
Saturdays and Sundays: 52 + 52 = 104 days
Vacation + Holidays Saturdays + Sundays = 111 + 104 = 215 days
It may be true that all days of vacation, holiday, Saturdays, and Sundays combined are a total of 215 days, but these 215 days cannot be added to the 167 days above because these 215 days include time for sleeping and eating which was already included in the sleeping and eating times for the entire year. The mistake in the reasoning is counting twice the time of sleeping and eating on the 215 days in which there is no school.
The chi-square test statistic is χ2 = 18.68 and the P-value is between 0.0025 and 0.005. What conclusion should the researcher make? Use α = 0.05.
We don't know what the exact p-value is, but we are told that it's as large as 0.005 which is smaller than alpha = 0.05
Since the p-value is smaller than alpha, this means we reject the null hypothesis.
The way you can remember this is "if the p-value is low, then the null must go". By "low", I mean "smaller than alpha".
Recall that the p-value is the probability of observing that specific test statistic, or larger. So the chances of chi-squared being 18.68 or larger is a probability between 0.0025 and 0.005; there's a very small chance of this happening. The p-value is based entirely on the assumption that the null is correct. But if the null is correct, then the chances of landing on this are very small. We have a contradiction that basically leads to us concluding the null must not be the case. It's not 100% guaranteed of course, but it's fairly strong evidence.
In short, the p-value being smaller than alpha = 0.05 means we reject the null.
In order to accept the null, the p-value must be 0.05 or larger.

Answer:
Below in bold.
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) The surface area consists of the sum of the area of 3 sets of 2 congruent rectangles. The 2 rectangles are on opposite sides of the solid.
= 2(15*15) + 2(5*15) + 2(5&15)
= 450 + 150 + 150
= 750 unit^2.
(b). Similarly to the above:
Surface area = 2(12*6) + 2(4*12) + 2(4*6)
= 144 + 96 + 48
= 288 unit^2.
(c) Again:
Surface area = 2(25*16) + 2(25*16) + 2(16*16)
= 400 + 400 + 256
= 1056 unit^2.

h is a trigonometric function of the form h(x)=a sin(bx+c)+d. Below is the graph h(x). The function intersects its midline at (-pi,-8) and has a maximum point at (pi/4, "-1.5)." Find a formula for h(x). Give an exact expression.
Answer:
6.5sin(.04x+.4pi)-8
The function intersects its midline at (-pi,-8) and has a maximum point at (pi/4, "-1.5). The final equation is h(x) = 4 sin(2x + π /2) + 3.
What is a function?A function is defined as a relation between the set of inputs having exactly one output each.
The function intersects its midline at (3π/4, 3) then the midline is d= 3.
The amplitude is just the positive distance between the maximum/minimum and the midline,
so the amplitude a = 7 - 3 = 4
Also, given that period is 2π/b and the fact that the period is π from our given maximum,
we have the equation 2π/b= π where b = 2
we know that the phase shift, -c/b is - π/4 (or to the left)
since -π /4. Therefore, c = π /2.
our final equation is

A man purchased a magazine at the airport for $2.69. The tax on the purchase was $0.13. What is the tax rate at the airport? The tax rate is %. (Round to the nearest percent as needed.)
We need to find the percent, let's start but making the equation.
The price is 2.69
The tax cost is 0.13
So what percent of 2.69 is = 0.13.
Equation: X/100 x 2.69 = 0.13
Multiply each side by 100 so we can get x alone with the price: 2.69x = 13
Now to get x alone, we must divide both sides by 2.69: x = 4.8
Finally, we just round 4.8 to the nearest whole number, which is 5 (5 or above give it a shove, 4 or below let it go, we have 8 so we give it a shove). This means that the answer will be 5%.

Dean Halverson recently read that full-time college students study 20 hours each week. She decides to do a study at her university to see if there is evidence that students study an average of more than 20 hours each week. A random sample of 35 students were asked to keep a diary of their activities over a period of several weeks. It was found that the average number of hours that the 35 students studied each week was 21.1 hours. The sample standard deviation of 4.3 hours.
Find the p-value.
The p-value should be rounded to 4-decimal places.
Answer:
0.0698
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
Population mean, μ = 20
Sample mean, xbar = 21.1
Sample standard deviation, s = 4.3
Sample size, n = 35
The hypothesis :
H0 : μ = 20
H0 : μ > 20
The test statistic :
(xbar - μ) ÷ (s/√(n))
T = (21.1 - 20) ÷ (4.3/√(35))
T = 1.1 ÷ 0.7268326
Test statistic = 1.513
Using the Pvalue calculator :
df = n - 1 = 35 - 1 = 34
Pvalue(1.513, 34) = 0.06976
Pvalue = 0.0698 (4 decimal places)
The p-value is 0.0698 if rounded to 4-decimal places.
It is given that students study an average of more than 20 hours each week and the random sample of 35 students was asked to keep a diary of their activities over a period of several weeks.
The average number of hours that the 35 students was 21.1 hours.
The sample standard deviation is 4.3 hours.
It is required to find the p-value.
What is the standard deviation?It is defined as the measure of data dispersement, It gives an idea about how much is the data spread out.
We can test the hypothesis using the Z test, the formula for the Z-test is given below:
[tex]\rm Z= \frac{(x-u)}{\frac{S}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]
Where x is the sample mean
u is the population mean
s is the standard deviation
n is the sample size.
The hypothesis are: H0 : μ = 20 V/s H1 : μ > 20
We have x = 21.1
u = 20
s = 4.3
n = 35
Putting these values in the above formula, we get:
[tex]\rm Z= \frac{(21.1-20)}{\frac{4.3}{\sqrt{35} } }\\\\\rm Z= \frac{(1.1)}{\frac{4.3}{\sqrt{35} } }\\\\[/tex]
Z = 1.513
difference or df = n -1 ⇒ 35-1 ⇒ 34
P-value at (1.513, 34) = 0.06976 (From the p-value calculator)
P-value = 0.0698 (Rounded to 4-decimal places)
Thus, the p-value is 0.0698 if rounded to 4-decimal places.

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 6 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex]. So we have T = 2.4469.
The margin of error is:
[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.4469\frac{340}{\sqrt{7}} = 314[/tex]
In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.
The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 6824 - 314 = $6510.
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 6824 + 314 = $7138.
The 95% confidence interval for the population mean is ($6510, $7138).
The distance between point (3,0) and (7, 2p) is √80. Find the value of p.
Distance = √[ ( 7 - 3 )^2 + ( 2p - 0 )^2 ]
Distance = √(4)^2 + ( 2p)^2
Distance = √16 + 4p^2
As the question said : Distance = √80
√80 = √16 + 4p^2
Thus :
16 + 4p^2 = 80
Subtract both sides 16
16 - 16 + 4p^2 = 80 - 16
4p^2 = 64
Divide both sides by 4
4p^2 ÷ 4 = 64 ÷ 4
p^2 = 16
Thus :
p = 4 or p = - 4

y=x²-10x-7
a>0 so we will be looking for minimum
x=-b/2a=10/2=5
y=25-50-7=-32
Answer: (5;32)
y=-4x²-8x+1
а<0 so we will be looking for maximum
х=-b/2a=8/-8=-1
у=4+8+1=13
Maximum point (-1;13)
Two ice cream stands are deciding where to set up along a 1-mile-long beach. The people are uniformly located along the beach, and each person sitting on the beach buys exactly 1 ice cream cone per day from the nearest stand. Each ice cream seller wants the maximum number of customers. True or False: The two stands will most likely be 1/3 mile away from each other. True
Answer:
Each ice cream seller wants the maximum number of customers:
True
The two ice cream stands will most likely be 1/3 mile away from each other.
True
Step-by-step explanation:
This distance enables the two ice cream stands to give access to the maximum number of customers at the beach, which will be almost equal at their right-hand and left-hand sides. Therefore, the two ice cream stands will most likely be 1/3 mile away from each other. Such positioning exposes the ice cream stands to almost equal number of customers since the people standing along the beach are uniformly located. Taking the extreme locations along the 1-mile-long beach will shrink location opportunities for both stands.
