Answer:
See proof below
Step-by-step explanation:
We will use properties of inequalities during the proof.
Let
. then we have that
. Hence, it makes sense to define the positive number delta as
(the inequality guarantees that these numbers are positive).
Intuitively, delta is the shortest distance from y to the endpoints of the interval. Now, we claim that
, and if we prove this, we are done. To prove it, let
, then
. First,
then
hence
On the other hand,
then
hence
. Combining the inequalities, we have that
, therefore
as required.

Answer:
- s + a = 250
- 3s + 5a = 1050
Step-by-step explanation:
Let s and a represent the numbers of student and adult tickets sold. The system of equations that can be written from the given information is ...
s + a = 250 . . . . . . total of tickets sold
3s +5a = 1050 . . . dollar value of tickets sold
_____
The solution is (s, a) = (100, 150). 100 student tickets and 150 adult tickets were sold.

Answer:
x = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram can be misleading because angle A does not correspond to angle F. Rather angle F corresponds to angle C.
In congruent triangles, corresponding angles have the same measure. The sum of angles is always 180°, so we have ...
... m∠A +m∠B +m∠C = 180°
... (3x+6)° +50° +(9x -68)° = 180°
... 12x -12 = 180 . . . . . divide by °, collect terms
... x -1 = 15 . . . . . . . . . .divide by the coefficient of x
... x = 16 . . . . . . . . . . . add 1
_____
<em>Check</em>
m∠A = (3x+6)° = 54°
m∠C = (9x -68)° = 76°
The total of angles is 54° +50° +76° = 180°. . . . . as it should be
Answer:
Due to the higher z-score, he did better on the SAT.
Step-by-step explanation:
When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.
In a set with mean
and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Determine which test the student did better on.
He did better on whichever test he had the higher z-score.
SAT:
Scored 1070, so 
SAT scores have a mean of 950 and a standard deviation of 155. This means that
.



ACT:
Scored 25, so 
ACT scores have a mean of 22 and a standard deviation of 4. This means that 



Due to the higher z-score, he did better on the SAT.
