Answer:

One number, let's call it x, is 6 more than twice the other number, let's say this number is y.

x= 2y+6

x+y=21

We're left with a system of equations.

If we substitute the first equation in the second we find the value of y.

(2y+6)+y=21

3y+6=21

3y=15

y=5

Now that we have found the value of y, we can take that value and substitute it in the second equation (since it's easier) to find the value of x.

x+ (5)=21

x=16

Now to check if our answers are correct, we plug in both values into any equation and see if they equate.

x+y=21

(16)+(5)=21

21=21

Our solution is correct!

Darren wants to estimate the mean age in a population of trees. He'll sample nnn trees and build a 90\%90%90, percent confidence

Alchen [17]

Using the z-distribution, as we have the standard deviation for the population, it is found that the smallest sample size required to obtain the desired margin of error is of 77.

<h3>What is a z-distribution confidence interval?</h3>

The confidence interval is:

$\overline{x} \pm z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which:

$\overline{x}$ is the sample mean.

z is the critical value.

n is the sample size.

$\sigma$ is the standard deviation for the population.

The margin of error is given by:

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In this problem, we have that the parameters are given as follows:

$M = 3, z = 1.645, \sigma = 16$ .

Hence, solving for n, we find the sample size.

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$3 = 1.645\frac{16}{\sqrt{n}}$

$3\sqrt{n} = 1.645 \times 16$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.645 \times 16}{3}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = \left(\frac{1.645 \times 16}{3}\right)^2$

$n = 76.97$

Rounding up, the smallest sample size required to obtain the desired margin of error is of 77.

What is the solution, vertex , and y-intercept ?

MrMuchimi

F(x) = -(x+7)² + 4

f(x) = -(x+7)(x+7) + 4
f(x) = -(x² + 7x + 7x + 49) + 4
f(x) = -x² - 14x - 49 + 4
f(x) = -x² - 14x - 45

True for f(x)
the equation is quadratic.
the vertex is (7,4)
the y-intercept is (0,4)
