find the standard deviation of 3, 7, 4, 6, 5 if necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth
3, 7, 4, 6, 5
First, find the mean.
Mean = Sum of the values / number of values
Mean = (3+7+4+6+5) /5 = 25/5 = 5
Then, find the variance:
Calculate each value difference from the mean
5-3 = 2
7-5 = 2
5-4= 1
6-5=1
5-5= 0
Square each difference, add them, and divide by the number of values.
Variance : (2^2+2^2+1^2+1^2+0^2 )/ 5 = (4+4+1+1) /5 = 10 /5 = 2
Standard deviation= square root of the variance:

Find the equation of the line through (2,-4) and parallel to the line 5x-2y-4=0. Write your answer in general form.
We can find the equation of a line given one point and its slope.
Remember that two parallel lines have the same slope; therefore, the slope of 5x-2y-4=0 is equal to the slope of the line we are trying to find.
[tex]\begin{gathered} 5x-2y-4=0 \\ \Rightarrow2y=5x-4 \\ \Rightarrow y=\frac{5x}{2}-\frac{4}{2}=\frac{5x}{2}-2 \\ \Rightarrow y=\frac{5x}{2}-2 \\ \Rightarrow m=\frac{5}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]Then, we have got everything we need, the slope is equal to 5/2 and a point in the line is (2,-4)
The equation is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} y-(-4)=\frac{5}{2}(x-2) \\ \Rightarrow y+4=\frac{5}{2}(x-2) \\ \Rightarrow y+4=\frac{5x}{2}-5 \\ \Rightarrow y=\frac{5x}{2}-9 \\ \Rightarrow y+9=\frac{5}{2}x \\ \Rightarrow2y+18=5x \\ \Rightarrow5x-2y-18=0 \end{gathered}[/tex]The answer is 5x-2y-18=0

Given
A rare manuscript increased in value 400% over the past 4 years.
This was an increase of $1,000.
To find:
a) What was the value of the manuscript 4 years ago?
b) What is the value of the manuscript now?
Explanation:
It is given that,
A rare manuscript increased in value 400% over the past 4 years.
This was an increase of $1,000.
Then, let x be the value of manuscript 4 years ago.
That implies,
[tex]\begin{gathered} 400\%\times4x=1000+x \\ \frac{400}{100}\times4x=1000+x \\ 16x=1000+x \\ 16x-x=1000 \\ 15x=1000 \\ x=\frac{1000}{15} \\ x=\text{ \$}66.67 \end{gathered}[/tex]And, the value of the manuscript now is,
[tex]\begin{gathered} 4x=4(66.67) \\ =\text{ \$}266.67 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the value of the manuscript is $66.67, and the value off the manuscript now is $266.67.
Find the slope of the line(Question in photo sorry) (Pre algebra)
Given that
There are two points and we have to find the slope of the line passing through these points.
Explanation -
The given two points are (19/2, -8/3) and (-7/2, -1/15)
The general formula to find the slope through two points is given as
[tex]\begin{gathered} If\text{ points are \lparen x}_1,y_1)\text{ and \lparen y}_1,y_2) \\ Then \\ slope=m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \end{gathered}[/tex]So on substituting the values we have
[tex]\begin{gathered} Slope=m=\frac{-\frac{1}{15}-(-\frac{8}{3})}{-\frac{7}{2}-\frac{19}{2}}=\frac{-\frac{1}{15}+\frac{8}{3}}{-\frac{7}{2}-\frac{19}{2}} \\ \\ m=\frac{\frac{-1\times1+5\times8}{15}}{\frac{-7-19}{2}}=\frac{\frac{-1+40}{15}}{\frac{-26}{2}}=\frac{\frac{39}{15}}{-\frac{13}{1}} \\ \\ m=\frac{39}{15}\times\frac{-1}{13}=-\frac{3}{15}=-\frac{1}{5} \end{gathered}[/tex]So the required slope passing through the given two points is -1/5.
Final answer -
Therefore the final answer is -1/5.Create a table of values for the function and use the result to estimate the limit. Use a graphing utility to graph the function to confirm your result. (Round your answers to four decimal places. If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)
Answer:
Explanations:
Given the limit of the function expressed as:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \lim _{n\to0}\frac{\sin8x}{x} \\ f(x)=\frac{\sin 8x}{x} \end{gathered}[/tex]First, we need to create a table for the given values in the table:
If x = -0.1
[tex]\begin{gathered} f(-0.1)=\frac{\sin8(-0.1)}{-0.1} \\ f(-0.1)=\frac{\sin(-0.8)}{-0.1} \\ f(-0.1)=0.1396 \end{gathered}[/tex]If x = -0.01
[tex]\begin{gathered} f(-0.01)=\frac{\sin8(-0.01)}{-0.01} \\ f(-0.01)=\frac{\sin(-0.08)}{-0.01} \\ f(-0.01)=0.1396 \end{gathered}[/tex]If x = -0.001
[tex]\begin{gathered} f(-0.001)=\frac{\sin8(-0.001)}{-0.001} \\ f(-0.001)=\frac{\sin(-0.008)}{-0.008} \\ f(-0.001)=0.1396 \end{gathered}[/tex]From the values above, we can conclude that the values of f(x) will all tend to be 0.1396 for the positives values of x
Therefore, we can conclude that as you approach the value 0 from the positive and negative directions, they approach the same value, hence the limit does exist.
Which shows another way to write 6*3? A.3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 B.3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 C.6 × 6 × 6 D.6 + 6 + 6
Another way to write the given expression 6×3 is by use of addition operator 6+6+6 .
We know that multiplying a number by another number is another way of adding the number that many times.
If we multiply a with n it can be written as
a × n = a + a + a + a +.... n terms
Similarly we can use the same formula for 6×3.
6×3 = 6+6+6
Addition can be defined and carried out using abstractions known as numbers, such as integers, real numbers, and complex numbers, in addition to counting things.
Addition is a part of the arithmetic branch of mathematics. In algebra, a different area of mathematics, addition can also be performed on abstract objects like vectors, matrices, subspaces, and subgroups.
The words, addends, or summands collectively refer to the quantities or components that must be combined to make a whole number; this terminology also includes the summing of multiple terms. This needs to be differentiated from multiple factors.
Hence the given expression can be written as 6+6+6 .

Number 11. Find a quadratic equation with (-2,3) and y intercept of 11
Answer:
[tex]y=2x^2+8x+11[/tex]Explanation:
A quadratic equation in vertex form is generally given as;
[tex]y=a(x-h)^2+k[/tex]where (h, k) is the coordinate of the vertex.
Given the coordinate (-2, 3), we'll have that;
h = -2
k = 3
Given a y-intercept of 11 and we know that at the y-intercept x = 0.
Substituting the above values into the vertex form equation and solving for a, we'll have;
[tex]\begin{gathered} 11=a\lbrack0-(-2)\rbrack^2+3 \\ 11=4a+3 \\ 4a=8 \\ a=\frac{8}{4} \\ a=2 \end{gathered}[/tex]Substituting a = 2, h = -2 and k = 3 into the vertex form equation and taking it to standard form, we'll have;

What will the value be in the year2005 ?value = $Round to the nearest 50 dollars.
Givn:
Value of the car in 1995 = $32,000
Value of the car in 2001 = $14,000
Let's solve for the following:
• (A). What was the annual rate of change between 1995 and 2001?
Apply the exponential decay formula:
[tex]f(t)=a(1-r)^t[/tex]Where:
• t is the number of years between 2001 and 1995 = 2001 - 1995 = 6
,• a is the initial value = $32000
,• r is the rate of decay.
,• f(t) is the present value
Thus, we have
[tex]\begin{gathered} 14000=32000(1-r)^6 \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]Divide both sides by 32000:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{14000}{32000}=\frac{32000(1-r)^6}{32000} \\ \\ 0.4375=(1-r)^6 \end{gathered}[/tex]Take the 6th root of both sides:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \sqrt[6]{0.4375}=\sqrt[6]{(1-r)^6} \\ \\ 0.87129=1-r \end{gathered}[/tex]Solving further:
[tex]\begin{gathered} r=1-0.87129 \\ \\ r=0.1287 \\ \\ r=0.1287*100=12.87\text{ \%} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the rate of change between 1995 and 2001 is 0.1287
• (B). What is the correct answer to part A written in percentage form?
In percentage form, the rate of change is 12.87 %
• (C),. Assume that the car value continues to drop by the same percentage. What will the value be in the year 2005?
We have the equation which represents this situation below:
[tex]f(t)=32000(1-0.1287)^t[/tex]Here, the value of t will be the number of years between 1995 and 2005.
t = 2005 - 1995 = 10
Now, substitute 10 for t and solve for f(10):
[tex]\begin{gathered} f(10)=32000(1-0.1287)^{10} \\ \\ f(10)=32000(0.8713)^{10} \\ \\ f(10)=32000(0.25216) \\ \\ f(10)=8069.14\approx8100 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the value in the year 2005 rounded to the nearest 50 dollars is $8100

• (a). 0.1287
,• (b). 12.87%
,• (c). $8100

Part A in. (a) For the following figure, the value of x is 45° 8 in. 459 B 45
Answer
The value of x = 8 in.
y = 8√2 = 11.31 in.
For the second question,
x = 8.3 units
Explanation
Isoscelles triangles have two of their sides being of the same lengths and those two sides are the ones whose base angles are the same.
From the image, we can see that two angles of the triangle have the same measures, hence, we can easily conclude that
x = 8 inches.
To find y, we will use pythagoras theorem.
The Pythagorean Theorem is used for right angled triangle, that is, triangles that have one of their angles equal to 90 degrees.
The side of the triangle that is directly opposite the right angle or 90 degrees is called the hypotenuse. It is normally the longest side of the right angle triangle.
The Pythagoras theorem thus states that the sum of the squares of each of the respective other sides of a right angled triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse. In mathematical terms, if the two other sides are a and b respectively,
a² + b² = (hyp)²
For this triangle,
hyp = y
a = 8 in
b = x = 8 in
a² + b² = (hyp)²
8² + 8² = y²
64 + 64 = y²
y² = 128
Take the square roots of both sides
√(y²) = √128
y = 8√2 = 11.31 in
For the other question.
In a right angle triangle, the side opposite the right angle is the Hypotenuse, the side opposite the given angle that is non-right angle is the Opposite and the remaining side is the Adjacent.
For that triangle,
Hyp = 11 units
Opp = ?
Adj = x
θ = 41°
We can then use trignometrical identities to solve this
CAH allows us to say
Cos 41° = (Adj/Hyp)
Cos 41° = (x/11)
x = 11 Cos 41°
x = 11 (0.7547)
x = 8.3 units
Hope this Helps!!!
Find the slope and y intercept of the line shown below question number 4
The image of the line provided seems to go through the following points:
(0, 4) , (-4, 5), and (4, 3)
Knowing at least two points is essential to calculate the slope via the formula:
[tex]\text{slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]so, for example if we use the points (0, 4) and (-4, 5) to calculate the slope, we get:
[tex]\text{slope}=\frac{5-4}{-4-0}=-\frac{1}{4}[/tex]Therefore, the slope is -1/4 (negative one fourth)
Notice as well that one of the points we chose is (0, 4) which in fact is the y-intercept of the line (the point at which the line crosses the y-axis ).
so we have al the elements to built the equation of this line:
slope = -1/4
y intercept = 4 for the (0, 4) on the plane
Then the equation could be built using:
y = (-1/4) x + 4
Choose a natural number between 1 and 36, inclusive. What is the probability that the number is a multiple of 3 (enter the probability as a fraction.)
List of multiples of 3 in the interval:
3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24,27,30,33,36. (12 numbers)
The probability of choosing a number multiple of 3 is:
Number of multiples of 3 in the interval / Total number of values in the interval
12/36 (Replacing)
1/3 ( Simplifying the fraction)
The answer is 1/3.
