Graphs/64955: can i see graphing of equations

You didn't specify the kind of equation you wanted to graph, here's something I did for someone else:
Solve by graphing
E1: y=2x+3
E2: x+y=3
:
For E1:
(I'm graphing this line by plotting points.)
Let x=0 and solve for y:
y=2(0)+3
y=0+3
y=3 Plot (0,3)
Now let x=2 and solve for y (Pick any point within reason.)
y=2(2)+3
y=4+3
y=7 Plot (2,7)
Connect the points and you should have this line:
graph%28300%2C200%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C2x%2B3%29
For E2:
(I'm graphing this line by the intercept method.)
Let x=0 and solve for y:
0+y=3
y=3 Plot (0,3)
Notice that both lines have the same y-intercept. This is the solution to the system. (We're not supposed to know that yet, and most of the time we won't, so let's keep graphing.)
Let y=0 and solve for x:
x+0=3
x=3 Plot (3,0)
Connect the points and you have a second line:
graph%28300%2C200%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C2x%2B3%2C-x%2B3%29
The lines intersect at the solution: (0,3)

find an equation of the line satisfying the given conditions.
parallel to the line 2x+y=3 and through (-2,3)
The equation of any line parallel to this one would have the same slope as this one. We need to find out what that is by putting this equation into slope intercept form:highlight%28y=mx%2Bb%29, m=slope and b=y-intercept.
2x%2By=3
2x-2x%2By=-2x%2B3
y=-2x%2B3 the slope, m=-2
Now that we have a slope and a point, we can use the point slope formula to find the equation of the line: highlight%28y-y1=m%28x-x1%29%29
m=-2 and (x1,y1)=(-2,3)
y-3=-2%28x-%28-2%29%29
y-3=-2%28x%2B2%29
y-3=-2x-4
y-3%2B3=-2x-4%2B3
highlight%28y=-2x-1%29

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
write in slope-intercept form
:
1.a slope -4 and y intercept of 3/4
The slope intercept form of a line is: highlight%28y=mx%2Bb%29, where m=slope and b=y-intercept.
In this case, m=-4 and b=3/4, so the equation is:
highlight%28y=-4x%2B3%2F4%29
:
2.a line passing through (-3,-6) with slope 9/5
When given a point and a slope, we can find the equation of the line with the point-slope formula: highlight%28y-y1=m%28x-x1%29%29, where m=slope and (x1,y1)=given point
In this case, m=9/5 and (x1,y1)=(-3,-6)
y-%28-6%29=%289%2F5%29%28x-%28-3%29%29
y%2B6=%289%2F5%29%28x%2B3%29

highlight%28y=%289%2F5%29x-3%2F5%29
:
3.line that passes through (5,2) and m=9/5
You have a point and a slope, use the point slope formula that we used for the last one:
m=9/5 and (x1,y1)=(5,2)
y-2=%289%2F5%29%28x-5%29
5%28y-2%29=5%289%2F5%29%28x-5%29

Functions/64824: FOR THE FUNCTION DEFINED BY f%28x%29=2-x%5E2,0%3Cx, USE A SKETCH TO HELP FIND A FORMULA FOR f^-1(x).

Answer 45334 by funmath(2925) About Me  on 2006-12-12 15:04:18 (Show Source):

FOR THE FUNCTION DEFINED BY f%28x%29=2-x%5E2,0%3Cx, USE A SKETCH TO HELP FIND A FORMULA FOR f^-1(x).
f%28x%29=2-x%5E2 Is graphed below. Ignore the left side of the graph because the domain includes only positive values. I have also graphed the line y=x, because inverse functions are reflected about that line.
graph%28300%2C200%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C2-x%5E2%2Cx%29
Notice that the graph has a y-intercept of (0,2), therefore the inverse will have an x-intercept of (2,0). Notice also that the graph goes toward -infinity as x goes towards +infinity, therefore its inverse will have x's that go to -infinity as y goes to positive infinity.
The parent f(x)=x^2, therefore the parent f^-1(x)=sqrt(x), it has a horizontal reflection so f^-1(x)=sqrt(-x). It also has a horizontal shift right 2 units, so the inverse function is:
f^-1(x)=sqrt%282-x%29
The graph of the inverse is below:
graph%28300%2C200%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2Csqrt%282-x%29%29
If you aren't being taught about reflections and shifts, plot the points for f(x) and then reverse the x's and y's and you'll have the inverse.

Polynomials-and-rational-expressions/64411: If the sides of a square are decreased by 3 cm, the area is decreased by 81 cm^2. What were the dimensions of the original square?
1 solutions

Answer 45040 by funmath(2925) About Me  on 2006-12-09 07:53:07 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If the sides of a square are decreased by 3 cm, the area is decreased by 81 cm^2. What were the dimensions of the original square?
Let the original side be: x
Then the area is:x^2
Then if we decreased it by 3 the new sides would be: x-3
The area of the original decreased by 81 is: x^2-81
The area of the new square is:(x-3)^2
%28x-3%29%5E2=x%5E2-81
x%5E2-6x%2B9=x%5E2-81
x%5E2-x%5E2-6x%2B9=x%5E2-x%5E2-81
-6x%2B9=-81
-6x%2B9-9=-81-9
-6x=-90
-6x%2F-6=-90%2F-6
x=15
The original sides were 15 cm.
Sanity Check:
If the original sides were 15 cm, the area would be 15^2=225.
If the new sides were 15-3=12 cm, the area would be 12^2=144
If we subtract the two areas we get: 225-144=81

Probability-and-statistics/64412: If in an hypothesis test the null hypothesis is rejected, then do I reject the alternative or motivated hypothesis as well?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If in an hypothesis test the null hypothesis is rejected, then do I reject the alternative or motivated hypothesis as well?
Your null hypothesis always contains an =, your alternative never contains an =. They are opposites. If you reject the null, you are not finding evidence that rejects the alternative.
In our book, we don't use the term, "motivated hypothesis." If that means the same thing as our "claim" does then, sometimes your claim is your null and sometimes its the alternative. If your claim is this=that, then your null is your claim and when you reject your null, you reject your claim. If your claim is this Different teachers and books are real specific about the way you need to word your conclusions. The book used at our college has a flow chart that tells you what to conclude based on your claim and rejection or failure to reject your null. If yours doesn't and this hasn't cleared things up for you, let me know and I will type a chart based on our flow chart.

Is x=2,y=9 a parallel line, perpendicular line, or neither of these two lines. thanks for your help.
x=2 is a vertical line going through the x-axis at 2 with an undefined slope.
y=9 is a horizontal line going through the y-axis at 9 with a slope of 0.
horizontal and vertical lines hit each other at a 90 degree angle and are therefore perpendicular.

You have a type-o for m's value.
find the constant of variation k.
m varies directly with n; m - 144 when n = 8.
m=kn <---m varies directly with n is written this way.
-144=k(8) <---substitute your values in for m and n and solve for k.
-144/8=8k/8
-18=k
highlight%28k=-18%29
If you meant m=144 instead of m=-144, just remove all the negatives. k=18.

You can't take the square root of anything and get a negative number, so you can look at this and know that this has no solution, however, if you didn't notice that, you would try to solve it this way.

There are two ways to do this, if your class is putting the equation in vertex form to do this, let me know and I'll redo this.

a=3, b=-6 and c=5
x=-%28-6%29%2F%282%283%29%29

x=1 Now plug that in for x in the equation to find y.

Aloha Steven,
The standard form of a linear equation is highlight%28Ax%2BBy=C%29, where A,B, and C are intergers. Some books also require that A be positive.
If we had a linear equation in slope intercept form like this: y=%283%2F4%29x-5 and we were asked to put it in standard form, the first thing that I would notice is that the x term is in the wrong place, so I would move it.
-%283%2F4%29x%2By=-%283%2F4%29x%2B%283%2F4%29x-5
-%283%2F4%29x%2By=0-5
-%283%2F4%29x%2By=-5
Now I would notice that the coefficient of x is both negative and a fraction. To change that I would multiply everything by the -denominator, -4. (If your book doesn't require that A be positive, you can multiply by 4.)
%28-4%29%28-3%2F4%29x%2B%28-4%29y=%28-4%29%28-5%29
%2812%2F4%29x-4y=20
highlight%283x-4y=10%29
I hope that clarifies things. Let me know if you don't understand something that I showed you.
