What’s 2(-4x + 1) +6x= -8 simplified?

Almost got it!

x + 3 = 3(y + 2)/2 [Multiplied both sides by 3]
so x + 3 = (3y + 6)/2
2(x + 3) = 3y + 6 [Multiplied both sides by 2]
2x + 6 = 3y + 6
2x = 3y [Subtracted 6 from both sides]
x = 3y/2 [Divided both sides by 2]
x/3 = y/2 [Divided both sides by 3]

So you wrote y/3 instead of y/2
Hope this helped!

Scores on the SAT Mathematics test are believed to be normally distributed. The scores of a simple random sample of five student

AysviL [449]

Answer:

The mean calculated for this case is $\bar X=584$

And the 95% confidence interval is given by:

$584-2.776\frac{86.776}{\sqrt{5}}=476.271$

$584+2.776\frac{86.776}{\sqrt{5}}=691.729$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (476.271;691.729)

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".

$\bar X$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s represent the sample standard deviation

n represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

In order to calculate the mean and the sample deviation we can use the following formulas:

$\bar X= \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{n}$ (2)

$s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-\bar X)}{n-1}}$ (3)

The mean calculated for this case is $\bar X=584$

The sample deviation calculated $s=86.776$

In order to calculate the critical value $t_{\alpha/2}$ we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

$df=n-1=5-1=4$

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a tabel to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.025,4)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=2.776$

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

$584-2.776\frac{86.776}{\sqrt{5}}=476.271$

$584+2.776\frac{86.776}{\sqrt{5}}=691.729$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (476.271;691.729)

Solve. x2 + 14 = 9x A) x = 2, x = 7 B) x = 3, x = 5 C) x = −2, x = −7 D) x = −3, x = −5

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

A) x = 2, x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 14 = 9x

Subtract 9x from each side

x^2-9x + 14 = 9x-9x

x^2-9x + 14 = 0

What 2 numbers multiply to 14 and add to -9

-7*-2 = 14

-7+-2 = -9

(x-7)(x-2) = 0

Using the zero product property

x-7 = 0 x-2 =0

x=7 x=2
