Answer:

60 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

We don't know how far Jimmy drives in each direction.  Let this distance be d.  Then, d = rate * time, and d = r(2 hours)  (where r represents his speed while driving to the ferry).

But it's also true that d = (r - 20 mph)(3 hours).

Equating d = r(2 hours)  and  d = (r - 20 mph)(3 hours), we get:

r(2) = (r - 20)(3), or 2r = 3r - 60.

Subtracting 2r from both sides yields 0 = r - 60, so that r = 60 mph.

Jimmy averaged 60 mph on the outbound trip.

Remove the parentheses from the following expression and combine like terms. 3(ax + b2 - c) + 2
melisa1 [442]
To remove the parentheses, you just distribute. 
So, it will become 3ax + 3b^2 - 3c +2. I don't think there is any like term in this expression.

Find an equation of the line containing the given pair of points (5,2) and (-3,5)
anzhelika [568]
(5,2)(-3,5)
slope = (5 - 2) / (-3 - 5) = -3/8

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -3/8
use either of ur points...(5,2)...x = 5 and y = 2
now we sub and find b, the y int
2 = -3/8(5) + b
2 = - 15/8 + b
2 + 15/8 = b
16/8 + 15/8 = b
31/8 = b

so ur equation is : y = -3/8x + 31/8....or 3x + 8y = 31

Stella [2.4K]
Given the table below of the prices for the Lenovo zx-81 chip during the last 12 months

\begin{tabular}&#10;{|c|c|c|c|}&#10;Month&Price per Chip&Month&Price per Chip\\[1ex]&#10;January&\$1.90&July&\$1.80\\&#10;February&\$1.61&August&\$1.83\\&#10;March&\$1.60&September&\$1.60\\&#10;April&\$1.85&October&\$1.57\\&#10;May&\$1.90&November&\$1.62\\&#10;June&\$1.95&December&\$1.75&#10;\end{tabular}

The forcast for a period F_{t+1} is given by the formular

F_{t+1}=\alpha A_t+(1-\alpha)F_t

where A_t is the actual value for the preceding period and F_t is the forcast for the preceding period.

Part 1A:
Given <span>α ​= 0.1 and the initial forecast for october of ​$1.83, the actual value for october is $1.57.

Thus, the forecast for period 11 is given by:

F_{11}=\alpha A_{10}+(1-\alpha)F_{10} \\  \\ =0.1(1.57)+(1-0.1)(1.83) \\  \\ =0.157+0.9(1.83)=0.157+1.647 \\  \\ =1.804

Therefore, the foreast for period 11 is $1.80


Part 1B:

</span>Given <span>α ​= 0.1 and the forecast for november of ​$1.80, the actual value for november is $1.62

Thus, the forecast for period 12 is given by:

F_{12}=\alpha&#10; A_{11}+(1-\alpha)F_{11} \\  \\ =0.1(1.62)+(1-0.1)(1.80) \\  \\ &#10;=0.162+0.9(1.80)=0.162+1.62 \\  \\ =1.782

Therefore, the foreast for period 12 is $1.78</span>



Part 2A:

Given <span>α ​= 0.3 and the initial forecast for october of ​$1.76, the actual value for October is $1.57.

Thus, the forecast for period 11 is given by:

F_{11}=\alpha&#10; A_{10}+(1-\alpha)F_{10} \\  \\ =0.3(1.57)+(1-0.3)(1.76) \\  \\ &#10;=0.471+0.7(1.76)=0.471+1.232 \\  \\ =1.703

Therefore, the foreast for period 11 is $1.70

</span>
<span><span>Part 2B:

</span>Given <span>α ​= 0.3 and the forecast for November of ​$1.70, the actual value for november is $1.62

Thus, the forecast for period 12 is given by:

F_{12}=\alpha&#10; A_{11}+(1-\alpha)F_{11} \\  \\ =0.3(1.62)+(1-0.3)(1.70) \\  \\ &#10;=0.486+0.7(1.70)=0.486+1.19 \\  \\ =1.676

Therefore, the foreast for period 12 is $1.68



</span></span>
<span>Part 3A:

Given <span>α ​= 0.5 and the initial forecast for october of ​$1.72, the actual value for October is $1.57.

Thus, the forecast for period 11 is given by:

F_{11}=\alpha&#10; A_{10}+(1-\alpha)F_{10} \\  \\ =0.5(1.57)+(1-0.5)(1.72) \\  \\ &#10;=0.785+0.5(1.72)=0.785+0.86 \\  \\ =1.645

Therefore, the forecast for period 11 is $1.65

</span>
<span><span>Part 3B:

</span>Given <span>α ​= 0.5 and the forecast for November of ​$1.65, the actual value for November is $1.62

Thus, the forecast for period 12 is given by:

F_{12}=\alpha&#10; A_{11}+(1-\alpha)F_{11} \\  \\ =0.5(1.62)+(1-0.5)(1.65) \\  \\ &#10;=0.81+0.5(1.65)=0.81+0.825 \\  \\ =1.635

Therefore, the forecast for period 12 is $1.64



Part 4:

The mean absolute deviation of a forecast is given by the summation of the absolute values of the actual values minus the forecasted values all divided by the number of items.

Thus, given that the actual values of october, november and december are: $1.57, $1.62, $1.75

using </span></span></span><span>α = 0.3, we obtained that the forcasted values of october, november and december are: $1.83, $1.80, $1.78

Thus, the mean absolute deviation is given by:

\frac{|1.57-1.83|+|1.62-1.80|+|1.75-1.78|}{3} = \frac{|-0.26|+|-0.18|+|-0.03|}{3}  \\  \\ = \frac{0.26+0.18+0.03}{3} = \frac{0.47}{3} \approx0.16

Therefore, the mean absolute deviation </span><span>using exponential smoothing where α ​= 0.1 of October, November and December is given by: 0.157



</span><span><span>Part 5:

The mean absolute deviation of a forecast is given by the summation of the absolute values of the actual values minus the forecasted values all divided by the number of items.

using </span><span>α = 0.3, we obtained that the forcasted values of october, november and december are: $1.76, $1.70, $1.68

Thus, the mean absolute deviation is given by:

&#10; \frac{|1.57-1.76|+|1.62-1.70|+|1.75-1.68|}{3} = &#10;\frac{|-0.17|+|-0.08|+|-0.07|}{3}  \\  \\ = \frac{0.17+0.08+0.07}{3} = &#10;\frac{0.32}{3} \approx0.107

Therefore, the mean absolute deviation </span><span>using exponential smoothing where α ​= 0.3 of October, November and December is given by: 0.107

The mean absolute deviation of a forecast is given by the summation of the absolute values of the actual values minus the forecasted values all divided by the number of items.

using </span><span>α = 0.5, we obtained that the forcasted values of october, november and december are: $1.72, $1.65, $1.64

Thus, the mean absolute deviation is given by:

&#10; \frac{|1.57-1.72|+|1.62-1.65|+|1.75-1.64|}{3} = &#10;\frac{|-0.15|+|-0.03|+|0.11|}{3}  \\  \\ = \frac{0.15+0.03+0.11}{3} = &#10;\frac{29}{3} \approx0.097

Therefore, the mean absolute deviation </span><span>using exponential smoothing where α ​= 0.5 of October, November and December is given by: 0.097</span></span>
