Write the equation of a horizontal line going through the point (5,4). Equation:
Given the point: (5, 4)
We know that the general equation of a horizontal line is y = k
Where k is constant.
From the point: (5, 4)
The only way for a line that is horizontal to satisfy (x, y) ==> (5, 4) is if y = 4.
To determine the equation of a horizontal line, the x-corrdinate is ignored because a horizontal line touches all possible values of x.
Therefore, the equation of the horizontal line is:
y = 4
ANSWER:
y = 4
identify the horizontal asymptotes, if they exist, for the following function…
You have the following function:
[tex]f(x)=\frac{5x^4-2x}{x^4+32}[/tex]Take into account that if the expression for the numerator has the same degree that the expression at the denominator, the horizontal asymptote is given by the quotient between the leading coefficient of each polynomial.
In this case, leading coeffcicient of numerator is 5 and from the denominator we get a leading coeeficient equal to 1.
Then, the horizontal asymptote is:
y = 5/1 = 5

Because the line is pass through zero
So, the constant of proportionality = y/x
It can be calculated using any point from the given points
So ,
Using the point ( 0.5 , 1/10)
the constant = 0.1/0.5 = 0.2
We can check the answer using the other point ( 7, 1 2/5)
The constant = (1 2/5)/7 = 1.4/7 = 0.2
So, the constant of proportionality = 0.2

If you have a 77.2% and you got 34% on a test and it’s worth 60% of your grade, what would you grade be now?
Answer:
51.28%
Step-by-step explanation:
since the test is worth 60% of your grade, the rest is worth 40%
calculate your new grade by multiplying each grade percent (as written) by the percent of your grade (as a decimal):
77.2(0.4) = 30.88
34(0.6) = 20.4
then add them together: 30.88 + 20.4

describe your so how to find the following product using both an algorithm in the diagram 3 * 3/4
To multiply the given numbers, we can use 0.75 instead of 3/4.
Then, we multiply using the standard algorithm.
Notice that the result must have 4 decimal numbers since that's the number of decimals both numbers have at the beginning.
Now, we can use the areas model to show a diagram about the multiplication.
Notice that we've got 3 wholes with 3/4 each, that gives us 2.25 because it's the sum 0.75 + 0.75 + 0.75 = 2.25.

you are selling snacks at the border trade fair. you are selling nachos and lemonade. each nachos costs $2.50 and each lemonade cost $2.25. at the end of the night you made a total of $112.50. you sold a total of 94 nachos and lemonade combined. how many nachos and lemonades were sold?
In order to determine the number of nachos and lemonade sold, you first write the given situation in an algebraic way.
If x is the number of nachos and y the number of lemonades, then, you have:
2.50x + 2.25y = 112.50 cost of the nachos and lemonade sold
x + y = 94 nachos and lemonade sold
Next, solve the previous system.
Multiply the second equation by 2.50. Next, subtract the equation to the first one:
(x + y = 94)(2.50)
2.50x + 2.50y = 235
2.50x + 2.25y = 112.50
-2.50x - 2.50y = -235
-0.25y = -122.5
solve the previous equation for y:
y = -122.5/(-0.25)
y = 490
Next, replace the previous value of y into the expression x + y = 94 and solve for x:
x + y = 94
x + 490 =

Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following function:
p(x) = 7x³ - 2x² + 3x + 10
To evaluate it at x = -3, we replace x by -3. So
p(-3) = 7x³ - 2x² + 3x + 10 = 7*(-3)³ - 2*(-3)² + 3*(-3) + 10 = 7*(-27) - 2*9 - 9 + 10 = -189 - 18 + 1 = -189 - 17 = -206
a) What were the ranges of typing speeds for the two groups?Group 1: Group 2:b) Which group had more typing speed in the 40s1) Group 1 2)Group 2 3) Each had the samec) Which group had the greater median typing speed?1) Group 1 2)Group 2 3) Each had the same
The given stem and leaf plot shows the typing speeds of two groups of students.
Group 1 has n1= 20 students
Group 2 has n2= 19 students
The stem and leaf plot is two sided, meaning that they share the same stem.
The observed values are the number of words per minute.
In the steam the ten of each value is placed and in the leafs you find the units:
This way you can determine the observations for both samples. I'll do so and arrange them form least to greatest:
Group 1:
33, 34, 37, 42, 44, 44, 45, 47, 48, 49, 49, 50, 51, 52, 52, 55, 55, 63, 66, 67
Group 2:
33, 36, 41, 42, 44, 46, 46, 51, 52, 52, 52, 53, 53, 56, 59, 60, 66, 67, 69
Part a
The range is calculated as the difference between the maximum and minimum observations of a sample. To determine those values you need the sample ordered from least to greatest.
For group 1:
Minimum value: 33 words/min
Maximum value: 67 words/min
Range= maximum-minimum=67-33=34words/min
For group 2:
Minimum value: 33words/min
Maximum value: 69 words/min
Range: 69-33=36words/min
→ the range for group 1 is 34words/min while the range for group 2 is 36words/min
Part b
To determine which group had more typing speeds in the fourties you have to count said observations for both of them.
You can do it directly from the stem and leaf plot, go to the row correpsonding to the 4 in the plot and count or use the values:
For group 1: in the second row there are 8 leafs, corresponding to the observations: 42, 44, 44, 45, 47, 48, 49, 49,
For group 2: in the second row there are 5 leafs, corresponding to the observations: 41, 42, 44, 46, 46
→There are more typing speeds in the 40s in group 1.
Part c:
The median is a measure of center that divides the sample in two halves. To calculate it you have to determine its position and then look for the corresponding value in the sample that was previously ordered from least to greatest.
To determine the position of the mean you have to use the following fomula:
For even samples: n/2
For odd samples: (n+1)/2
Median of group 1
n1=20 students
The sample is even, calculate its position using the first formula:
Position: n/2 = 20/2= 10
The median is in the tenth position, look in the sample for the tenth observation:
33, 34, 37, 42, 44, 44, 45, 47, 48, 49, 49, 50, 51, 52, 52, 55, 55, 63, 66, 67
→The median typing speed for group 1 is 49 words/min
Median of group 2
n2=19 students
The sample is odd, you have to use the second formula to find its position:
Position: (n+1)/2= (19+1)/2= 20/2= 10
The median of this group is the 10th observation:
33, 36, 41, 42, 44, 46, 46, 51, 52, 52, 52, 53, 53, 56, 59, 60, 66, 67, 69
→The median typing speed for group 2 is 52 words/min
→Group 2 has the greater median typing speed.
Creating and solving equationstwo-thirds a number plus 4 is 7
Given:
two-thirds a number plus 4 is 7
First Part: Converting the statement into equation
Let x be the number in the given statement.
The phrase "two-thirds a number" can be expressed as
[tex]\frac{2}{3}x[/tex]Pair it with "... plus 4" and we get
[tex]\frac{2}{3}x+4[/tex]Finally, it is stated it is equal to 7, and we complete the equation
[tex]\frac{2}{3}x+4=7[/tex]Second Part: Solving for the number
Now, that we have the equation, we can now solve for the missing number x.
Subtract both sides by 4, to remove the constant 4 on the left side of the equation
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{3}x+4=7 \\ \frac{2}{3}x+4-4=7-4 \\ \frac{2}{3}x\cancel{+4-4}=3 \\ \frac{2}{3}x=3 \end{gathered}[/tex]Multiply both sides by 3/2, and we get
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{3}x=3 \\ \frac{2}{3}x\cdot\frac{3}{2}=3\cdot\frac{3}{2} \\ \frac{\cancel{2}}{\cancel{3}}x\cdot\frac{\cancel{3}}{\cancel{2}}=\frac{9}{2} \\ x=\frac{9}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the number is 9/2 or nine-halves.
the perimeter of the original rectangle is 16 ft. what is the perimeter of the enlarged rectangle? round to the nearest tenth if necessary.
To calculate the perimeter of the enlarged rectangle, we need to get the breadth first.
The original rectangle is similar to the enlarged rectangle, so the ratio of thier corresponding sides must be equal
Let b represent the breadth of the enlarged rectangle,
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ Ratio of corresponding sides is given as } \\ \frac{1.8}{b}=\frac{6.2}{12.4} \\ \text{cross multiply} \\ 6.2b=12.4\text{ x 1.8} \\ 6.2b=22.32 \\ b=\frac{22.32}{6.2} \\ b=3.6\text{ ft} \end{gathered}[/tex]Now, the length of the enlarged rectangle is 12.4ft while the breadth is 3.6ft
The perimeter = 2(L+B)
= 2(12.4 + 3.6)
=2(16)
=32ft
The perimeter of the enlarged rectangle is 32 ft

hello
the yearly income was $2100
the appraised value = $40,000
one of the stocks pays 4% annually
the other pays $690 yearly
let's find how much the 4% stock pays annually
to do this, let's subtract the income of one of the stocks from the total income. i.e 690 from 2100
[tex]2100-690=1410[/tex]the other stock pays $1410 annually
now we can simply find the value of each stock
[tex]\begin{gathered} 4\text{\% of x gives 1410 annually} \\ \frac{4}{100}=\frac{1410}{x} \\ \text{cross multiply both sides } \\ 4\times x=100\times1410 \\ 4x=141000 \\ \text{divide both sides by 4} \\ \frac{4x}{4}=\frac{141000}{4} \\ x=35250 \end{gathered}[/tex]the value of one of the stock is $35250
we can proceed to find the value of the other stock by subtracting 35250 from 40000 which is the value of the two stock
[tex]40000-35250=4750[/tex]from the calculations above, the value of the stocks is $35250 and $4750

Describe the end behavior for the polynomial function described below.
ANSWER
As x → ∞, f(x) → ∞
As x → -∞, f(x) → -∞
EXPLANATION
The degree of this polynomial is 5, which is odd. Therefore, the ends of the graph will point one up and the other down.
The coefficient is positive - the coefficient is the coefficient of the variable with the highest degree, in this case x⁵ - so the right end (when x → ∞) points up (to ∞) and the left end points down (to -∞).

Solve. Show all your work!The digits of a positive two-digit integer N are interchanged to form an integer K. Find allpossibilities for N if N is even and exceeds K by more than 50.
Let the units place digit be U and the tens place digit be T.
The number N is given by:
[tex]N=10T+U\ldots(i)[/tex]The number K is given by:
[tex]K=10U+T\ldots(2)[/tex]It is given that N is even that means U can be only from 0,2,4,6,8.
It is also given that N exceeds K by more than 50 so it follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} N-K\ge50 \\ 10T+U-(10U+T)\ge50 \\ 9T-9U\ge50 \end{gathered}[/tex]So it can be said that:
[tex]T-U\ge\frac{50}{9}\approx5.5556\approx6[/tex]Since the value of T-U will always be an integer and it should be greater than or equal to 6.
The number T can be 1 to 9 and U can be only 0,2,4,6,8 so it follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} T=9,U=0\Rightarrow T-U=9 \\ T=9,U=2\Rightarrow T-U=7 \\ T=8,U=0\Rightarrow T-U=8 \\ T=7,U=0\Rightarrow T-U=7 \\ T=6,U=0\Rightarrow T-U=6 \\ T=8,U=2\Rightarrow T-U=6 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence the possible values for integer N are 90,92,80,70,60,82 and the respective integer K will be 09,29,08,07,06,28.
In all cases the difference is more than 50 as you can check.

ANSWER
[tex]\text{ P\lparen both students are junior\rparen = }\frac{1}{10}[/tex]EXPLANATION
Given information
The total number of junior students = 2
The total number of senior students = 3
The total number of students = 5
To determine the probability of picking two junior students, follow the steps below
Step 1: Define probability
[tex]\text{ Probability = }\frac{\text{ possible outcome}}{\text{ total outcome}}[/tex]Step 2: Find the probability of picking the first junior students

Therefore, the new total outcome can be calculated below
1 + 3 = 4 students
Step 3: Find the probability that the second picking will be a junior student
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ Probability = }\frac{\text{ possible outcome}}{\text{ total outcome}} \\ \text{ P\lparen picking the second junior student\rparen = }\frac{1}{4} \end{gathered}[/tex]Step 4: Find the probability that both students are junior students
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ P\lparen both students are junior students\rparen = }\frac{2}{5}\times\frac{1}{4} \\ \text{ P\lparen both students are junior students\rparen = }\frac{2}{20} \\ \text{ P \lparen both students are junior students \rparen = }\frac{1}{10} \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the probability that both students selected are juniors is 1/10
A carpenter cuts a 5-ft board in two pieces. One piece must be three times as longas the other. Find the length of each piece.
3.75 ft and 1.25 ft
Explanation
Step 1
Diagram
Step 2
set the equations
let x represents the longest piece
lety represents the smaller piece
so
a)A carpenter cuts a 5-ft board in two pieces, hence
[tex]x+y=5\Rightarrow equation(1)[/tex]b)One piece must be three times as long as the other,then
[tex]x=3y\Rightarrow equation(2)[/tex]Step 3
finally, solve the equations:
a) replace the x value from equation (2) into equation(1)
[tex]\begin{gathered} x+y=5\Rightarrow equation(1) \\ (3y)+y=5 \\ add\text{ like terms} \\ 4y=5 \\ divide\text{ both sides by 4} \\ \frac{4y}{4}=\frac{5}{4} \\ y=1.25 \end{gathered}[/tex]b) now, replace the y value into equation (2) to find x
[tex]\begin{gathered} x=3y\Rightarrow equation(2) \\ x=3(1.25) \\ x=3.75 \end{gathered}[/tex]therefore, the lengths of the pieces are
3.75 ft and 1.25 ft

What is the mean of the data?Number of Letters inOur First Name3 XX4 XX5 XXXX6 X7 X8 X I keep getting 3 but it was marked wrong with the correct answer of 5. Where am I going wrong?
Answer
Mean = 5
Explanation
The mean is the average of the distribution. It is obtained mathematically as the sum of variables divided by the number of variables.
Mean = (Σx)/N
x = each variable
Σx = Sum of the variables
N = number of variables
Since the number of X in front of each number denotes how many times that number occurs,
Σx = 3 + 3 + 4 + 4 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 = 55
N = Total number of X = 11
Mean = (Σx)/N
Mean = (55/11) = 5
Hope this Helps!!!
