Answer:

He was supposed to cross multiply the equation in the original equation. Step 2 was a wrong expression

Explanations:

The given equation is:

$\frac{1}{4}(x\text{ + 12) = 2}$

Cross multiply the equation, the equation becomes:

$x\text{ + 12 = 8}$

x = 8 - 12

x = -4

His mistake was in step 2, he did not properly expand the equation

The proper step was to cross multiply in step 2

Differentiate. The answer is supposed to be -3/ sqrt 4-x^2

Margarita [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$g(x)=\cos^{-1} (\frac{x}{2})\\g'(x)= \frac{- 1}{\sqrt{1-(\frac{x}{2})^2}}*\frac{1}{2} \\=\frac{-1}{\sqrt{4-x^2} }$

Use the drawing tool(s) to form the correct answer on the provided graph.

Kitty [74]

Answer:

The graph in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$y> \frac{1}{4}x+6$ ------>inequality A

The solution of the inequality A is the shaded area above the dashed line $y=\frac{1}{4}x+6$

The y-intercept of the dashed line is (0,6)

The x-intercept of the dashed line is (-24,0)

The slope of the dashed line is positive m=1/4

$y> 2x-1$ ------>inequality B

The solution of the inequality B is the shaded area above the dashed line $y=2x-1$

The y-intercept of the dashed line is (0,-1)

The x-intercept of the dashed line is (0.5,0)

The slope of the dashed line is positive m=2

The solution of the system of inequalities is the shaded area between the two dashed lines

using a graphing tool

see the attached figure

Write the expression as one<br> involving only sin x and cos x.<br> sin 2x + cos x

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

sin 2x + cos x = 2 sin x cos x + cos x = (2 sin x + 1)cos x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression: sin 2x + cos x,

then we can use the formula: sin 2x = 2 sin x cos x, which gives:

sin 2x + cos x = 2 sin x cos x + cos x = (2 sin x + 1)cos x

So there you have two expressions in terms of sin x and cos x, as requested. :D

Which of the following are true about regression with one predictor variable (often called "simple regression")? Check all that

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

<h3>A. The slope describes the amount of change in Y for a one-unit increase in X .</h3><h3>B. The regression equation is the line that best fits a set of data as determined by having the least squared error.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

In statistics, linear regression is a analysis we do to describe the relationship between two variables. With this study, we pretend to know if there's a positive or negative correlation between those variables, if that correlation is strong or weak.

In a linear regression analysis, we modeled the data set using a regression equation, which is basically the line that best fits to the data set, this line is like the average where the majority of data falls. That means choice A is right.

When we use linear equations, we need to know its characteristics, and the most important one is the slope, which is the ratio between the dependent variable and the independent variable. Basically, the slope states the unit rate between Y and X, in other words, it states the amount of Y per unit of X. That means choice B is correct.

Therefore, the correct answers are A and B.
