3x - 5 = -26

step 1:

subtract +5 on each side because you have to do the inverse operation

step 2:

3x= -21

step 3:

now divide 3 on each side

the answer is -7

Answer:

x=-7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi student! Let me help you out.

_________________

First, add 5 to both sides.

$\sf 3x=-26+5$ . Upon simplifying, we obtain this.

$\sf 3x=-21$ .

↪

Now divide both sides, by 3.

$\sf x=-7$

$\therefore,\sf the \quad value \quad of \quad x \quad is \quad -7$ . Which is our final answer.

Divide 3 1/2 by 2/3. 3 1/2 = 7/2 as an improper fraction, so we have 7/2 ÷ 2/3 = 7/2 * 3/2 = 21/4 = 5 1/4 L

What is the vertex of the graph of the function below? y = x2 + 8x + 12

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Hello,

$The\,\,formula\,\,for\,\,the\,\,vertex\,\,of\,\,a\,\,quadratic\,\,equation\,\,is: \\ V=( -\frac{b}{2a},f(-\frac{b}{2a}) )$

That means that we must first obtain x, then we replace x in the function to get y, so:

$x=- \frac{b}{2a} \\ \\ x=- \frac{8}{2*(1)} \\ \\ \boxed{x=-4} \\ \\ Reeplacing \,\,x: \\ y=(-4)^{2} +8*(-4)+12 \\ y=16-32+12 \\ \boxed{y=-4}$

Answer: V=(-4 , -4)

A random sample of size n1= 25, taken from a normal population with a standard deviation σ1= 5, has a mean X1= 80. A second rand

sesenic [268]

Answer:

The 94% confidence interval would be given by $2.898 \leq \mu_1 -\mu_2 \leq 7.102$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X_1 =80$ represent the sample mean 1

$\bar X_2 =75$ represent the sample mean 2

n1=25 represent the sample 1 size

n2=36 represent the sample 2 size

$\sigma_1 =5$ sample standard deviation for sample 1

$\sigma_2 =3$ sample standard deviation for sample 2

$\mu_1 -\mu_2$ parameter of interest.

The confidence interval for the difference of means is given by the following formula:

$(\bar X_1 -\bar X_2) \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\sigma^2_1}{n_1}+\frac{\sigma^2_2}{n_2}}$ (1)

The point of estimate for $\mu_1 -\mu_2$ is just given by:

$\bar X_1 -\bar X_2 =80-75=5$

Since the Confidence is 0.94 or 94%, the value of $\alpha=0.06$ and $\alpha/2 =0.03$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.03,0,1)".And we see that $z_{\alpha/2}=1.88$
