$\Large\textsc{answer :}$

x≤-7

$\Large\textsc{calculations :}$

First , use the distributive property :

3(x-4)≥5x+2

3x-12≥5x+2

Subtract 5x on both sides :

3x-5x-12≥2

Now , add 12 on both sides :

3x-5x≥2+12

3x-5x≥14

Subtract the x's :

-2x≥14

Divide by -2 on both sides and watch what happens :

x≤-7 (notice that the inequality sign changed from "greater than or equal to" to "less than or equal to")

If we divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number , we change the inequality sign .

The Price family and the Jenkins family each used their sprinklers last summer. The water output rate for the Price family's spr

PIT_PIT [208]

Set up two equations:

1st: P (for Price family) + J (for Jenkins family) = 45 hours

2nd: 20P + 35J = 1200 liters

Rewrite the first equation as P = 45 – J

Replace P in the second equation:

20(45-J) + 35J = 1200

Simplify:

900 -20J + 35J = 1200

900 +15J = 1200

Subtract 900 from both sides:

15J = 300

Divide both sides by 15:

J = 300/15

J = 20

Jenkins used theirs for 20 hours

Price used theirs for 45-20 = 25 hours.

Consider a data set containing the following values: 70 65 71 78 89 68 50 75 The mean of the preceding values is 70.75. The devi

Leokris [45]

Answer:

If this is the sample data, the sample variance is 125.07 and the sample standard deviation is 11.18

If this is a population data, the population variance is 109.44 and the population standard deviation is 10.46

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following data-set:

70, 65, 71, 78, 89, 68, 50, 75

Deviations from the mean

–0.75, –5.75 , 0.25, 7.25, 18.25, –2.75, –20.75, 4.2

Sample size, n = 8

Sample:

$\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{\sum (x_i -\bar{x})^2}{n-1}}$

where $x_i$ are data points, $\bar{x}$ is the mean and n is the number of observations.

Sum of squares of differences =

0.5625 + 33.0625 + 0.0625 + 52.5625 + 333.0625 + 7.5625 + 430.5625 + 18.0625 = 875.5

$s = \sqrt{\dfrac{875.5}{7}} = 11.18$

$\text{ Sample variance} = s^2 = 125.07$

Population:

$\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{\sum (x_i -\bar{x})^2}{n}$

where $x_i$ are data points, $\bar{x}$ is the mean and n is the number of observations.

Sum of squares of differences =

0.5625 + 33.0625 + 0.0625 + 52.5625 + 333.0625 + 7.5625 + 430.5625 + 18.0625 = 875.5

$\sigma = \sqrt{\dfrac{875.5}{8}} = 10.46$

$\text{ Population variance} = \sigma^2 = 109.44$

A model car travels around a circular track with radius 5 feet. Let Z denote the distance between the model car and a fixed poin

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

$\frac{dZ}{dt}$ = $\frac{40}{\sqrt{545} }$ , so the model car is moving away from the fixed point at a rate of approximately 1.7 feet per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

The functions x and y satisfy (x−20)^2+y^2=25 and differentiating gives 2(x−20)dx/dt+2y dy/dt=0. Substituting the three known values and solving for dy/dt yields dy/dt=−32. Since Z=x^2+y^2−−−−−−√, dZ/dt=(2x ^ dx/dt+2y^dy/dt) / 2x2+y2√. Substituting Since Substituting for x, y, $\frac{dx}{dt}$ , and $\frac{dy}{dt}$ gives $\frac{dZ}{dt}$ = $\frac{40}{\sqrt{545} }$ ,
