Answer:

To find the mean you must add up all the numbers you have together and then divide the buy the amount of numbers you added. When you add these numbers up you get 30, and we have 5 numbers here, when we divide 30 by 5 we get 6. So, Tara is correct in saying that the mean is 6.

Evaluate the function
insens350 [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For a. you are asked to evaluate f(0).  This is a piecewise function with different domains for each piece of the function.  You can only evaluate f(0) in the function that has a domain that allows 0 in it.  In the first domain, it says

x < -3.  0 is not less than -3, so 0 is not in that domain, so you will not use that "piece" of the function to evaluate f(0).

In the next domain, it says that x is greater than or equal to -3 and less than 0.  Again, 0 is not included in that domain, so we can't use that "piece" of the function to evaluate f(0).

The last domain says that x is greater than OR EQUAL TO 0, so this is where we evaluate f(0):

f(0) = -0 - 4 so

f(0) = -4

When we want to evaluate f(2), we follow the same rules.  Find the piece of the function that allows 2 in its domain.  That's the middle piece:

f(2) = 2(2) - 6 so

f(2) = -2

There are 47 people attending a play at an outdoor theater. There are 11 groups of people sitting in groups of 3 or 5. How many
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

  • <u>The number of groups in 3 is 4 groups.</u>
  • <u>The number of groups in 5 is 7 groups.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of groups in 3 ⇒ x

Let the number of groups in 5 ⇒ y

There are 11 groups. ⇒ x + y = 11         →(1)

There are 47 people. ⇒ 3x + 5y = 47  →(2)

Solve (1) and (2) to get x and y.

From (1)  ⇒ y = 11 - x  →(3)

By substitution from (3) at (2) with y

∴ 3x + 5(11-x) = 47

3x + 55 - 5x = 47

-2x = 47 - 55 = -8

∴ x = -8/-2 = 4

∴ y = 11 - x = 11 - 4 = 7

So, the number of groups in 3 is 4 groups.

the number of groups in 5 is 7 groups.

(2x + y = -2<br> (5x + 3y = -8<br> Solve by substitution
aliya0001 [1]

(2, -6)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -2 - 2x

5x + 3 (-2-2x) = - 8

5x - 6 - 6x = - 8

-x - 6 = 8

- 6 + 8 = x

2 = x

x = 2

y = -2 -2x

y = -2 -2(2)

y = -2 -4

y = -6

(x, y) = (2, -6)
