Hi. In order to solve this word problem, you must make two equations and solve them together. To make it easy, we will let the letter "p" represent the pigs and the letter "c" for the chickens. So our first equation will be:

p + c = 13

Now to count the legs - we know that pigs have 4 legs and chickens have 2 so our next equation will be:

2c + 4p = 40

Using the first equation we see that c = 13 - p Now we insert this into the second equation and solve:

2x(13-p) +4 pm = 40
26 - 2p + 4p = 40
2p = 14
p = 7 (there are 7 pigs so now we know there are 6 chickens.

Answer: 7 pigs and 6 chickens

I hope this helps.

Take care,
Diana

For f(x) = x2 + 2x + 3, and g(x) = x2 + 5, Find F(g(2)).
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

f(g(2)) = 102

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) and f(g(2))

As we can see, we can find g(2) and substitute this value into

f(x)=x² + 2x + 3 instead of x.

g(x) = x² + 5,  g(2) = 2² + 5 = 9

f(x)=x² + 2x + 3

f(9)=9² + 2*9 + 3= 102

Two-Stage Least Squares (2SLS) Regression Analysis

Two-Stage least squares (2SLS) regression analysis is a statistical technique that is used in the analysis of structural equations. This technique is the extension of the OLS method. It is used when the dependent variable’s error terms are correlated with the independent variables. Additionally, it is useful when there are feedback loops in the model. In structural equations modeling, we use the maximum likelihood method to estimate the path coefficient. This technique is an alternative in SEM modeling to estimate the path coefficient. This technique can also be applied in quasi-experimental studies.

you are a freelancer and were offered two gigs. one will pay you $25,000today and the other will pay you $5,000 per year over th
guajiro [1.7K]

The preferred gig is the first one since its today's worth is greater than the today's value of the second gig

What is the today's worth of $5000 each year?

The worth of the second gig, which pays $5000 every year for the next 6 years in today's dollar is the present value of all the six annual cash flows discounted using the present value formula of an ordinary annuity as shown below:

PV=PMT*(1-(1+r)^-N/r

PV=present value of annual payments for 6 years=unknown

PMT=annual payment=$5000

r=required return=discount rate=8%

N=number of annual cash flows=6

PV=$5000*(1-(1+8%)^-6/8%

PV=$5000*(1-(1.08)^-6/0.08

PV=$5000*(1-0.630169626883105)/0.08

PV=$5000*0.369830373116895

/0.08

PV=$23,114.40

The fact that the present value of the second option which pays $5000 annually is lesser than the amount receivable immediately, which is $25,000, hence, the first gig is preferred
