The sum of 5 consecutive integers is 270

1 answer:

4 0

Hello!

This can be written as

(x) + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) + (x + 4) = 270

Add all the values

5x + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 270

Combine like terms

5x + 10 = 270

Subtract 10 from both sides

5x = 260

Divide both sides by 5

x = 52

So the numbers are 52, 53, 54, 55, 56,

Hope this helps!

Answer:

(–5, 12) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following values:

$cosec\theta = \dfrac{13}{12}\\sec\theta=-\dfrac{13}{5}\\cot\theta =-\dfrac{5}{12}$

Now, we know the following identities:

$sin \theta = \dfrac{1}{cosec\theta}\\cos \theta = \dfrac{1}{sec\theta}\\tan \theta = \dfrac{1}{cot\theta}$

Now, the values are:

$sin\theta = \dfrac{12}{13}\\cos\theta=-\dfrac{5}{13}\\tan\theta =-\dfrac{12}{5}$

Sine value is positive and cos, tan values are negative.

It can be clearly observed that $\theta$ is in 2nd quadrant.

2nd quadrant means, the value of $x$ will be negative and $y$ will be positive.

Let us have a look at the value of $tan\theta$ :

$tan\theta = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}\\OR\\tan\theta = \dfrac{y-coordinate}{x-coordinate} = -\dfrac{12}{5}\\\therefore y = 12,\\x = -5$

Please refer to the attached image for clear understanding and detailed explanation.

Hence, the correct answer is coordinate (x,y) is (–5, 12)

What is the equation of the best-fitting regression line? Find this in two ways. First, using the regression analysis part of th

Lemur [1.5K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Regression analysis is used to infer about the relationship between two or more variables.

The line of best fit is a straight line representing the regression equation on a scatter plot. The may pass through either some point or all points or none of the points.

Method 1:

Using regression analysis the line of best fit is: $y=\alpha +\beta x+e$
