How to get from 92 to 280 in 4 jumps. This is supposed to be an exponential equation. You have to multiply the same number every
bogdanovich [222]
The exponential function is
f(x)=ab^x, where b is the base, the number to multiply every time x is increased by 1.

If f(x)=92, f(x+4)=280, then
f(x+4)/f(x) = 280/92 = ab^(x+4)/(ab^x) = b^4
to find the base b,
b^4=(280/92)
b=(280/92)^(1/4)    ..... fourth root, or take square-root twice
=3.4035^(1/4)
=1.3208  (accurate to 4 places of decimal).

Edit: 92*1.3208^4 gives 279.9858  (missing little bit because of accuracy).
A slightly better accuracy would be
base = 1.320816698856163
and 92*1.320816698856163^4 would still be 279.9999999999993, but VERY close to 280.  
So it all depends on the accuracy you need.
If you need more accuracy, please tell me how many accurate digits you'd like the results.
Here it is:
base = 1.320816698856163713875997666455513013800337299231824403890097792042432005288739246325005446716740
and if you multiply together
92*base^4, you will get 280 accurate to at least 90 digits after the decimal.  
I think that should be sufficient for what you need.  Recall that these calculations cannot be done or verified on a 10 or 12 digit calculator.

Well, to please you, I have calculated it to 500 digits, don't think that's going to be of much practical use for anybody.  
By the way, that's as far as I will do this evening.  My eyes are almost closing!

base=1.3208166988561637138759976664555130138003372992318244038900977920424320052887392463250054467167408005624428737585147309981331510076693180633495574937759374668399829195521733208637815593771220504215429477168159456265024711237470736388371979840461777898466419772297172931568429339640964205400234392902077320257671263508487367942846685479533507498695981037274512050120058009244868634949261015429944340565311559486391625531554216085859773912355361847787636892603324966350039688974359584811585283183726532

Unoccupied seats on flights cause airlines to lose revenue. Suppose a large airline wants to estimate its average number of unoc
Len [333]

Answer: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Standard deviation : \sigma=4.1\text{ seats}

Margin of error : E=\pm5\text{ seats}

Significance level : \alpha: 1-0.95=0.05

By using the standard normal table of z ,

Critical value : z_{\alpha/2}=1.96

The formula we use to find the minimum sample size required :-

n=(\dfrac{z_{\alpha/2}\ \sigma}{E})^2

i.e. n=(\dfrac{(1.96)(4.1)}{5})^2=2.58309184\approx3

Hence, the number of lights should we select if we wish to estimate μ to within 5 seats and be 95 percent confident =3

Write an equation in standard form of the line that passes through (3, 1) and has a y intercept of -2
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, use substitution to find slope

(1) = m(3) - 2

3 = m3

m = 1

With both the slope and y int, you can write it in y int form

y = 1x - 2

Convert that to standard form

-x + y = -2

Which equation has NO solution? A) 15x + 12 3 = 5x + 4 B) 8 − 4x 10 = 4 + 2x C) 4x − 20 2 = 2x − 10 D) 15x + 5 3 = 5x + 6
jenyasd209 [6]

Assumption:

<em>Something is missing in question. If we see deeply it is apparent that there is some issue with option b i.e. </em><em>B) 8 − 4x 10 = 4 + 2x </em><em>we assume that the questioner want to type </em><em>B) 8-4x^10 = 4 + 2x.</em>

Answer:

The correct answer is <em> </em><em>B) 8-4x^10 = 4 + 2x.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

All equations given is the question can be solve easily to determine the value of x. However if we solve equation mentioned in option b we cannot  get single answer easily.

For example value of x in eq given in option A

15x + 123 = 5x+4

1oX = -119

 X = -119/10
