Hello!

To solve this we will use a system of equations, where x is the first number and y is the second.

x=y-3
2y=4x-16

To solve for y we will need to find x first. In the first equation x is equal to y-3. In the second equation we will replace x with y-3 and solve for y.

2y=4(y-3)-16
2y=4y-12-16
2y+16=4y-12+12
2y+28=4y
2y=28
y=14

Now we can use our y value to solve for x.

x=14-3
x=11

Just to check, we will plug the two numbers into the second equation to see if it is true.

28=44-16
28=28

Therefore, the smaller of the two numbers is 11.

I hope this helps!

The number is 11
4n-16 = 2(n+3)
4-16n= 2n+6
4n-=2n+22
2n=22
n=11

4×11=44
44-16=28

2(11+3)=2x14=28

Find the regression equation, letting the first variable be the
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

y=0.00673(253) +90.190=91.894

And the difference is given by:

r_i =91.894-83=8.894

Step-by-step explanation

We assume that th data is this one:

x: 242-255 -227-251-262-207-140

y: 91- 81 -91 - 92 - 102 - 94 - 91

Find the least-squares line appropriate for this data.  

For this case we need to calculate the slope with the following formula:

m=\frac{S_{xy}}{S_{xx}}

Where:

S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}

S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}

So we can find the sums like this:

\sum_{i=1}^n x_i =242+255+227+251+262+207+140=1584

\sum_{i=1}^n y_i =91+ 81 +91 + 92 + 102 + 94 + 91=642

\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i =242^2 +255 ^2 +227^2 +251^2 +262^2 +207^2 +140^2=369212

\sum_{i=1}^n y^2_i =91^2 + 81 ^2 +91 ^2 + 92 ^2 + 102 ^2 + 94 ^2 + 91^2=59108

\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i =242*91 +255*81 +227*91 +251*92 +262*102 +207*94 +140*91=145348

With these we can find the sums:

S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}=369212-\frac{1584^2}{7}=10775.429

S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}=145348-\frac{1584*642}{7}=72.571

And the slope would be:

m=\frac{72.571}{10775.429}=0.00673

Now we can find the means for x and y like this:

\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}=\frac{1584}{7}=226.286

\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}=\frac{642}{7}=91.714

And we can find the intercept using this:

b=\bar y -m \bar x=91.714-(0.00673*226.286)=90.190

So the line would be given by:

y=0.00673 x +90.190

The prediction for 253 seconds is:

y=0.00673(253) +90.190=91.894

And the difference is given by:

r_i =91.894-83=8.894

A study dealing with health care issues plans to take a sample survey of 1500 Americans to estimate the proportion who have heal
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) A parameter of a population measures the characteristics of the population, In the question the proportion of all the persons who have health insurance and the mean of the entire dollar amount that Americans spent on health care in the past year measure the population.

Invariably, the proportion of persons having health insurance, and the mean dollars spent on health care for all Americans are the population parameter

(b)  A statistics  measure the characteristics of the sample.

In the question, the sample of 1500 Americans are considered to estimate the proportion of all Americans, proportion of all the persons who have health insurance among 1500 and the sample mean of all the dollar amounts that the selected Americans spent on healthy care in the past year describe  the sample.

Invariably, the sample proportion of persons having health insurance, and the mean dollars spent on health care for 1500 selected Americans are sample statistics

For ax^2+bx+c
when a=1
take 1/2 of b and square it
that is what c should be ideally

p^2-30p=c
-30/2=-15
(-15)^2=225
c=225
(p-15)^2 is factored form


k^2-5k+c
-5/2
(-5/2)^2=25/4
c=25/4
factored form is (x-5/2)^2

Evaluate the expression when g=3 and h= 17 <br> h−5g
Aleks04 [339]
2.
EXPLANATION:
If g= 3 we can replace g with 3.

Now we have h-5 x 3

and if h= 17, we can replace h with 17.

Now we have 17 - 5 x 3.

because of pemdas, multiplication is first

5 x 3 is 15,

17 - 15 is 2.

Solve this URGENT! Differentiation
Sophie [7]

Instead of using the quotient rule, you can first expand <em>y</em> :

<em>y</em> = (4<em>x</em> - 1)^2 / <em>x</em> ^2 = (16<em>x</em> ^2 - 8<em>x</em> + 1) / <em>x</em> ^2 = 16 - 8/<em>x</em> + 1/<em>x</em> ^2

Then the derivative is

d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> = -8/<em>x</em> ^2 - 2/<em>x</em> ^3

The tangent to the curve at (-1, 25) then has a slope or gradient of

d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> = -8/(-1)^2 - 2/(-1)^3 = -6
