Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Easy way to do this is step by step. Your quadratic, from your entry, must be
.
Step by step looks like this, one thing at a time:
becomes
becomes
and this of course is
Do the same with the subtraction sign to get the other solution.
If you're unsure of how to enter it into your calculator, do it step by step so you don't mess up the sign. If you enter it incorrectly, you could end up with an imaginary number when it should be real, or a real one that should be imaginary.
Just my advice as a high school math teacher.

Answer:
There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the liquid diet yields a higher mean weight loss than the powder diet (P-value = 0.15).
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a hypothesis test for the difference between populations means.
The claim is that the liquid diet yields a higher mean weight loss than the powder diet.
Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:
The significance level is 0.05.
The sample 1 (powder diet group), of size n1=49 has a mean of 42 and a standard deviation of 12.
The sample 2 (liquid diet group), of size n2=36 has a mean of 45 and a standard deviation of 14.
The difference between sample means is Md=-3.
The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:
Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:
The degrees of freedom for this test are:
This test is a left-tailed test, with 83 degrees of freedom and t=-1.04, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):
As the P-value (0.15) is greater than the significance level (0.05), the effect is not significant.
The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.
There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the liquid diet yields a higher mean weight loss than the powder diet.
Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
Two ways we can solve this problem:
1. Graphically
2. Mathematically
Because you already solved it graphically, I will show you how to do so mathematically. Of course, graphically is much much easier and more efficient in this problem.
Let's break the problem down.
First, we are given a graph which contains a slope.
To find slope, we use the technique -> rise/run
Picking 2 obvious points from the graph, we can see
1st point -> (10, 20)
2nd point -> (40, 80)
Now, let's find the slope
Now, we have an equation y = 2x, where y = number of pies and x = cups of sugar
We want to find how many cups of sugar we need to bake 80 pies. Simply substitute 80 = number of pies = y
y = 2x -> 80 = 2x
Solving for x, divide both sides by 2
40 = x
We need 40 cups of sugar.
