The correct parameterization for the line through (-9, 2, -6) parallel to the y-axis is option B: x = -9t, y = 2 + t, z = -6t, -∞ < t < ∞.

Since the line is parallel to the y-axis, the x and z coordinates remain constant (-9 and -6, respectively), while the y-coordinate varies. We can represent this variation using a parameter t. By setting x = -9t, we ensure that the x-coordinate stays constant at -9. Similarly, setting z = -6t keeps the z-coordinate constant at -6.

To determine the variation in the y-coordinate, we choose y = 2 + t. Adding t to the constant y-coordinate of 2 allows the y-coordinate to change as the parameter t varies. This ensures that the line remains parallel to the y-axis.

Thus, the correct parameterization is x = -9t, y = 2 + t, z = -6t, with -∞ < t < ∞.

The required t-score with a sample size of 30 is 2.756.

Here we want to calculate a confidence interval for the population mean (μ) when the population is normally distributed and the sample size is small (less than 30). We would typically use the t-distribution instead of the standard normal distribution.

Since here mentioned that the sample contains 30 observations which is considered a moderately large sample, we can use either the t-distribution or the standard normal distribution to calculate the confidence interval. However, for consistency, let's use the t-distribution.

For a 98% confidence level, we need to find the critical value (t-score) that corresponds to a 2% tail on both ends of the distribution.

Since the confidence interval is two-tailed, we need to find the t-score that leaves 1% in each tail.

The degrees of freedom for a sample size of 30 are equal to the sample size minus 1, so in this case, the degrees of freedom would be 30 - 1 = 29.

Using a t-table or a statistical calculator, the t-score for a 1% tail with 29 degrees of freedom is approximately 2.756.

Therefore, the appropriate t-score for a 98% confidence estimate with a sample size of 30 is 2.756.

The scale factor of the dilation is √2/3.

To find the scale factor of the dilation, we can compare the distances between corresponding points of the original and dilated triangles.

Let's consider the distance between the center of dilation and a point in the original triangle, and the distance between the center of dilation and the corresponding point in the dilated triangle.

Distance between center of dilation (-3, -3) and point A(0, 0):

d₁ = √(0 - (-3))² + (0 - (-3))²) =√(3² + 3²) = √(18) = 3√2

Distance between center of dilation (-3, -3) and the corresponding point A'(-2, -2):

d₂ = √(-2 - (-3))² + (-2 - (-3))²)

= √1² + 1²

= √2

The scale factor of the dilation is given by the ratio of the distances:

Scale factor = d₂ / d₁ =√2/3√2

Scale factor = √2 / (3√2) × (√2 / √2)

=√4 /3 ×√2

The function f(x) = 4x/(x² + 1) in the interval [-4, 0] has absolute maximum at x = 1 and absolute minimum at x = -1.

Given the function is f(x) = 4x/(x² + 1)

Differentiating the function with respect to 'x' we get,

f'(x) = d/dx [4x/(x² + 1)] = ((x² + 1)d/dx [4x] - 4x d/dx [(x² + 1)])/((x² + 1)²) = (4(x² + 1) - 8x²)/((x² + 1)²) = (4 - 4x²)/((x² + 1)²)

f''(x) = ((x² + 1)²(-8x) - (4 - 4x²)(2(x² + 1)*2x))/(x² + 1)⁴ = (8x(x² + 1) [-x² - 1 - 2 + 2x²])/(x² + 1)⁴ = (8x[x² - 3])/(x² + 1)³

Now, f'(x) = 0 gives

(4 - 4x²) = 0

1 - x² = 0

x² = 1

x = -1, 1

So at x = -1, f''(-1) = (-8(1 - 3))/((1 + 1)³) = 2 > 0

at x = 1, f''(1) =  (8(1 - 3))/((1 + 1)³) = -2 < 0

The population will be one-half the initial amount after 7 years i.e., in 2014.

To find out when the population will be one-half the initial amount, we need to solve for t in the equation:

0.5P(0) = P(t)

where P(0) is the initial population of 500,000. Hence,

1. Set P(t) equal to half of the initial population:

250,000 = 500,000 * e^(-0.099t)

2. Divide both sides by 500,000:

0.5 = e^(-0.099t)

3. Take the natural logarithm (ln) of both sides:

ln(0.5) = ln(e^(-0.099t))

4. Use the property of logarithms ln(a^b) = b * ln(a):

ln(0.5) = -0.099t * ln(e)

5. Since ln(e) = 1, the equation simplifies to:

ln(0.5) = -0.099t

6. Divide both sides by -0.099:

t = ln(0.5) / -0.099

Now, calculate the value of t:

t ≈ ln(0.5) / -0.099 ≈ 6.99

So, approximately 7 years after 2007, the population will be one-half the initial amount. That means in the year 2014.

So the series solution to the differential equation is:

y(x) = a_0 + a_1 x - 2a_2 x^2 + 2a_2 x^3 + (a_2/2) x^4 + ...

where a_0 and a_1 are arbitrary constants, and a_n can be recursively calculated using the recurrence relation.

Let's assume that the solution to the given differential equation is of the form:

y(x) = ∑(n=0)^∞ a_n x^n

where a_n are constants to be determined, and we substitute this into the differential equation.

First, we need to find the first and second derivatives of y(x):

y'(x) = ∑(n=1)^∞ n a_n x^(n-1)

y''(x) = ∑(n=2)^∞ n(n-1) a_n x^(n-2)

Now we can substitute these into the differential equation and simplify:

(x – 3) ∑(n=2)^∞ n(n-1) a_n x^(n-2) + 2 ∑(n=1)^∞ n a_n x^(n-1) + ∑(n=0)^∞ a_n x^n = 0

Next, we need to make sure the powers of x on each term match. We can do so by starting the sums at n=0 instead of n=2:

(x – 3) ∑(n=0)^∞ (n+2)(n+1) a_(n+2) x^n + 2 ∑(n=0)^∞ (n+1) a_n x^n + ∑(n=0)^∞ a_n x^n = 0

Expanding the summations gives us:

(x – 3) [2a_2 + 6a_3 x + 12a_4 x^2 + ...] + 2 [a_1 + 2a_2 x + 3a_3 x^2 + ...] + [a_0 + a_1 x + a_2 x^2 + ...] = 0

Simplifying and collecting terms with the same powers of x gives us:

[(2a_2 + a_1) x^0 + (2a_3 + 2a_2 - 3a_1) x^1 + (2a_4 + 3a_3 - 6a_2) x^2 + ...] = 0

Since this equation must be true for all values of x, we can equate the coefficients of each power of x to zero:

2a_2 + a_1 = 0

2a_3 + 2a_2 - 3a_1 = 0

2a_4 + 3a_3 - 6a_2 = 0

...

Using the first equation to solve for a_1, we get:

a_1 = -2a_2

Substituting this into the second equation allows us to solve for a_3:

2a_3 + 2a_2 - 3(-2a_2) = 0

2a_3 = 4a_2

a_3 = 2a_2

Substituting these two equations into the third equation allows us to solve for a_4:

2a_4 + 3(2a_2) - 6a_2 = 0

2a_4 = a_2

a_4 = a_2/2

We can continue this process to find the coefficients for higher powers of x. The recurrence relation for the coefficients is:

a_(n+2) = [(3-2n)/(n+2)(n+1)] a_(n+1) - [(1-n)/(n+2)(n+1)] a_n

Applying the distance formula, we get:

Distance = [tex]|(3 * 1 + 2 * (-6) + 6 * 6 - 5)| \sqrt(3^2 + 2^2 + 6^2)[/tex]

           = [tex]|3 - 12 + 36 - 5| \sqrt(9 + 4 + 36)[/tex]

The total surface area of the square pyramid is 394.24 cm², and the lateral surface area is 230.4 cm².

To determine the total and lateral surface area of a square pyramid, we need to use the given measurements: the lengths of the base and the height of the pyramid.

In this case, the base of the square pyramid has sides of length 12.8 cm, and the height is 9 cm.

To calculate the lateral surface area of a square pyramid, we need to find the area of the four triangular faces that surround the pyramid.

Each triangular face is an isosceles triangle with two equal sides and a height equal to the height of the pyramid.

The area of an isosceles triangle can be calculated using the formula: area = 0.5 [tex]\times[/tex]  base [tex]\times[/tex] height.

Since the base of each triangular face is equal to the length of the square base (12.8 cm), and the height is equal to the height of the pyramid (9 cm), we can calculate the area of one triangular face as follows:

Area of one triangular face [tex]= 0.5 \times 12.8 cm \times 9 cm = 57.6 cm ^{2} .[/tex]

Since there are four triangular faces in total, the lateral surface area of the square pyramid is 4 times the area of one triangular face:

Lateral surface area = 4 * 57.6 cm² = 230.4 cm².

To calculate the total surface area of the square pyramid, we also need to consider the area of the square base.

The area of a square can be calculated by squaring one side length.

Area of the square base = (12.8 cm)² = 163.84 cm².

The total surface area is the sum of the lateral surface area and the area of the square base:

Total surface area = Lateral surface area + Area of the square base

= 230.4 cm² + 163.84 cm²

= 394.24 cm².

Felipe can create 840 different sequences of fireworks using the given 7 fireworks, assuming no repetition is allowed.

To determine the number of different sequences of fireworks Felipe can create, we can use the concept of permutations. Since Felipe has 7 different fireworks to choose from and he needs to select 4 of them in a specific order, we can calculate the number of permutations.

The formula to calculate permutations is P(n, r) = n! / (n - r)!, where n is the total number of items and r is the number of items selected.

In this case, Felipe has 7 fireworks to choose from, and he needs to select 4 of them in a specific order. Plugging in the values, we have:

P(7, 4) = 7! / (7 - 4)!

        = 7! / 3!

The angular displacement of the wheel after 12.6 s is approximately -477.51 rad. This means that the wheel has rotated counterclockwise by 477.51 radians.

To determine the angular displacement of the wheel, we can use the equations of angular motion.

The angular displacement (θ) is related to the initial angular velocity (ω₀), the final angular velocity (ω), and the angular acceleration (α) through the equation: θ = ω₀t + (1/2)αt²

In this case, the initial angular velocity (ω₀) is not given, but we can assume it to be zero since the problem states that the wheel has slowed down.

The final angular velocity (ω) is given as 1.32 rad/s, and the angular acceleration (α) is given as -6.07 rad/s². The time (t) is given as 12.6 s.

Substituting these values into the equation, we have:

θ = 0 + (1/2)(-6.07)(12.6)²

Calculating this expression, we find:

θ ≈ -477.51 rad

The negative sign indicates that the angular displacement is in the opposite direction of the initial motion.

The appropriate answer for the time complexity of merge sort for a list of n elements is T(n) = 2T(n/2) + n. Therefore, the correct option is D.

This is because merge sort recursively divides the list into two halves and sorts each half separately, and then merges the two sorted halves back together. The time complexity of sorting each half separately is T(n/2), and merging the two halves takes linear time, which is represented by n.

Therefore, the overall time complexity of merge sort is the sum of the time complexity of sorting each half and merging them back together, which gives us the equation T(n) = 2T(n/2) + n. This equation represents the divide and conquer strategy of merge sort and is used to calculate the time complexity of the algorithm for a given list size. Hence, the correct answer is option D.

Note: The question is incomplete. The complete question probably is: We have already learned that merge sort is a typical divide and conquer algorithm. Let T(n) be the time complexity of merge sort for a list of n elements, which of the following is appropriate? A) T(n) = 2Tn/2) B) T(n) = T(n/2) +n C) T(n) = F(n-1) + Tn-2) + n D) T(n) = 2T(n/2) + n.

the probability that Michael's first flight is less than 75 minutes is 7/12 or approximately 0.5833.

To find the probability that Michael's first flight is less than 75 minutes, we need to calculate the cumulative probability for the first flight duration.

Given that the flight duration from Orange County to Phoenix follows a uniform distribution ranging from 68 to 80 minutes, we can calculate the cumulative probability as follows:

P(first flight < 75 minutes) = (75 - 68) / (80 - 68)

P(first flight < 75 minutes) = 7 / 12

The probability that a random selection of 6 legislators would include 2 Democrats, 2 Republicans, and 2 Independents is 1, or 100%.

To find the probability that a random selection of 6 legislators would include 2 Democrats, 2 Republicans, and 2 Independents, we can use the concept of combinations and probabilities.

First, we need to calculate the total number of possible combinations of selecting 6 legislators out of the total 17 + 13 + 4 = 34 legislators. This can be done using the combination formula:

C(n, r) = n! / (r!(n-r)!)

where n is the total number of items and r is the number of items to be selected.

In this case, we want to select 2 Democrats, 2 Republicans, and 2 Independents, so we can calculate the total number of combinations as follows:

Total Combinations = C(17, 2) * C(13, 2) * C(4, 2)

Next, we need to calculate the number of combinations that include 2 Democrats, 2 Republicans, and 2 Independents. We can calculate this by multiplying the number of ways to select 2 Democrats from 17, 2 Republicans from 13, and 2 Independents from 4:

Desired Combinations = C(17, 2) * C(13, 2) * C(4, 2)

Finally, we can find the probability by dividing the number of desired combinations by the total number of combinations:

Probability = Desired Combinations / Total Combinations

Let's calculate this probability:

Total Combinations = C(17, 2) * C(13, 2) * C(4, 2) = (17! / (2!(17-2)!)) * (13! / (2!(13-2)!)) * (4! / (2!(4-2)!))

= (17 * 16 / 2) * (13 * 12 / 2) * (4 * 3 / 2)

= 408 * 78 * 6

= 190512

Desired Combinations = C(17, 2) * C(13, 2) * C(4, 2) = 190512

Probability = Desired Combinations / Total Combinations = 190512 / 190512 = 1

Therefore, the probability that a random selection of 6 legislators would include 2 Democrats, 2 Republicans, and 2 Independents is 1, or 100%.

a) Stefan's hourly rate of pay in a year with 52 weekly paydays is approximately $10.19 per hour.

b) Stefan's gross earnings for a pay period working an extra 15 hours of overtime, paid 2 times the regular rate, would be approximately $3,504.89.

a) The first thing we need to do is to convert the annual salary to an hourly rate, based on a 39-hour workweek.

To do this, we can use the following formula:

Hourly rate = Annual salary / (Number of weeks worked per year * Number of hours worked per week)

The number of weeks worked per year is equal to 52, since there are 52 weeks in a year.

Therefore, Hourly rate = $20,665.32 / (52 weeks * 39 hours per week)

Hourly rate = $20,665.32 / 2,028 hours

Hourly rate = $10.19.

Therefore, Stefan's hourly rate of pay is $10.19 per hour (rounded to the nearest cent).

b) To find Stefan's gross earnings for a pay period working an extra 15 hours of overtime paid 2 times the regular rate of pay, we need to use the following formula:

Gross earnings = Regular earnings + Overtime earnings

Regular earnings = Hours worked * Hourly rate

Overtime earnings = Overtime hours worked * (Hourly rate * Overtime pay rate)

Stefan's regular earnings for the pay period can be found by multiplying his regular hourly rate by the number of hours he worked:

Regular earnings = 39 hours * $10.19/hour

Regular earnings = $397.41

For his overtime earnings, Stefan worked 15 overtime hours, and was paid twice his regular rate of pay for those hours.

Therefore, his overtime pay rate is 2 * $10.19/hour = $20.38/hour.

Using this overtime pay rate, his overtime earnings can be found:

Overtime earnings = 15 hours * ($10.19/hour * $20.38/hour)

Overtime earnings = $3,107.48

Therefore, his gross earnings for the pay period are the sum of his regular earnings and his overtime earnings:

Gross earnings = $397.41 + $3,107.48

Gross earnings = $3,504.89

Therefore, Stefan's gross earnings for a pay period working an extra 15 hours of overtime paid 2 times the regular rate of pay would be $3,504.89 (rounded to the nearest cent).

A statement which would be the best measures of center and variation to use to compare the data include the following: B. Both distributions are nearly symmetric, so the mean and the standard deviation are the best measures for comparison.

In Mathematics and Statistics, skewness can be defined as a measure of the asymmetry of a box plot (box-and-whisker plot) and as such, a box plot (box-and-whisker plot) has a normal distribution when it is symmetrical.

By critically observing the table which represent the test scores of students who studied for a test as a group (Group A) and students who studied individually (Group B), we can reasonably infer and logically deduce that the mean and the standard deviation are the best measures for comparison because both data distributions are nearly symmetric.
