Answer:

$x=2.4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving Equations Using Successive Approximations

We need to find the solution to the equation

$f(x)=g(x)$

where

$f(x)=2x-5$

$g(x)=x^2-6$

The approximation has been already started and reached a state for x=2.5 where

$f(2.5)=0$

$g(2.5)=2.5^2-6=0.25$

The difference between the results is 0.25, we need further steps to reach a good solution (to the nearest tenth)

Let's test for x=2.4

$f(2.4)=-0.2$

$g(2.4)=2.4^2-6=-0.24$

The new difference is -0.2+0.24=0.04

It's accurate enough, thus the solution is

$\boxed{x=2.4}$

Answer:

it will be 634.24 because if you add 551.02 and 93.22 that will be 644.24 then you minus the 10 at the beginning.

Describe how an ordered pair represents a point on a coordinate plane. Include the terms x-coordinate, y-coordinate, and origin

Blababa [14]

When we look at an ordered pair, it will be presented as (x,y)

The first term, x (called the x-coordinate), will tell us how far we should count outwards from 0 (The Origin). The second term, y (called the y-coordinate), will tell us how far we will count outwards from our x coordinate.

I hope this helps! If you would like me to elaborate more just let me know:)

Ten young adults living in California rated the taste of a newly developed sushi pizza topped with tuna, rice, and kelp on a sca

timurjin [86]

Answer: For California: μ = 33.1; σ² = 1120.50; Range = 32;

For Iowa: μ = 24.5; σ² = 32.73; Range = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean is the average of a population or a sample. It is defined as

μ = ∑x / n, where

x is each number of the set;

n is the total individuals in the sample.

Calculating the Mean for sample of taste of pizza in California:

μ₁ = $\frac{34+39+40+46+33+31+34+14+15+45}{10}$ = 33.1

Calculating the Mean for the sample in Iowa:

μ₂ = $\frac{28+25+35+16+25+29+24+26+17+20}{10}$ = 24.5

Variance measures how far the number in the set is from the mean. Its formula is

σ² = (∑x-μ)² / n -1

which means to find the variance, you have to get the difference between the number and the mean, square the result, add all of them and then divide by (n-1) individuals.

The Variance for the sample in California is

σ² = $\frac{(34 - 33.1)^{2}+(39-33.1)^{2}+(40-33.1)^{2}+(46-33.1)^{2}+(33-33.1)^{2}+(34-33.1)^{2}+(14-33.1)^{2}+(15-33.1)^{2}+(45-33.1)^{2}}{9}$ σ² = 120.50

The Variance for the sample in Iowa is

σ² = 32.73

Range is the difference between the highest and the lowest number of the set: range = highest - lowest

For the sample in California, the Range is

range = 46 - 14 = 32

For the sample in Iowa:

range = 35 - 16 = 19

For California:

Mean = 33.1;
Variance = 120.50;
Range = 32;

For Iowa:

Mean = 24.5;
Variance = 32.73;
Range = 19;
