Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

4 x - 2 (x - 8) = -12

-2 (x - 8) = 16 - 2 x:

4 x + 16 - 2 x = -12

4 x - 2 x = 2 x:

2 x + 16 = -12

Subtract 16 from both sides:

2 x + (16 - 16) = -16 - 12

16 - 16 = 0:

2 x = -16 - 12

-16 - 12 = -28:

2 x = -28

Divide both sides of 2 x = -28 by 2:

(2 x)/2 = (-28)/2

2/2 = 1:

x = (-28)/2

The gcd of -28 and 2 is 2, so (-28)/2 = (2 (-14))/(2×1) = 2/2×-14 = -14:

Answer: x = -14

I absolutely suck in math so please just help me

agasfer [191]

All you have to do is substitute the values of x.

h(0) = |-3(0) + 5|

h(0) = |5|

h(0) = 5

The answer for h(0) is 5.

h(5) = |-3(5) +5|

h(5) = |-15 + 5|

h(5) = |-10|

h(5) = 10

The answer to h(5) is 10.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

$\displaystyle y=-0.927x+13.63$

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple Linear Regression

It a function that represents the relationship between two or more variables in a given data set. It uses the method of the least-squares regression line which minimizes the error between the estimate function and the real data.

Let's compute the best-fit line for the data

$x=\{1,5,6,12,15\}$

$y=\{14,11,4,2,1\}$

First, we find the sums

$\displaystyle \sum x=1+5+6+12+15=39$

$\displaystyle \sum y=14+11+4+2+1=32$

Then, we compute the averages values

$\displaystyle \bar{x}=\frac{39}{5}=7.8$

$\displaystyle \bar{y}=\frac{32}{5}=6.4$

We will also compute the sums of the cross-products and the sum of the squares

$\displaystyle \sum xy=(1)(14)+(5)(11)+(6)(4)+(12)(2)+(15)(1)=137$

$\displaystyle \sum x^2=1^2+5^2+6^2+12^2+15^2=1+25+36+144+225$

$\displaystyle \sum x^2=431$

We will compute Sxy and Sxx

$\displaystyle S_{xy}=\sum xy-\frac{\sum x\ \sum y}{n}$

$\displaystyle S_{xy}=137-\frac{(39)(32)}{5}$

$\displaystyle S_{xy}=-117.6$

$\displaystyle S_{xx}=\sum x^2-\frac{(\sum x)^2}{n}$

$\displaystyle S_{xx}=431-\frac{39}{5}^2=126.8$

The slope of the linear regression function is given by

$\displaystyle m=\frac{S_{xy}}{S_{xx}}=\frac{-117.6}{126.8}=-0.927$

The y-intercept ot the linear function is

$\displaystyle b=\bar{y}-b\bar{x}=6.4-(-0.927)(7.8)$

$\displaystyle b=13.63$

Thus the best-fit line is

$\displaystyle y=-0.927x+13.63$

The correct option is the last one

The distance light travels in one year is known as a light year. A light year is equal to 5.87 × 1012 miles. The closest that Ea

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

$6.21\times 10^{-5}\ \text{light years}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance light travels in one year is known as a light year.

$1\ \text{light year}=5.87\times 10^{12}\ \text{miles}$

The closest that Earth ever gets to Jupiter is $3.65\times 10^8\ \text{miles}$

$3.65\times 10^8\ \text{miles}=\dfrac{1}{5.87\times 10^{12}}\times 3.65\times 10^8\ \text{light years}\\\\=6.21\times 10^{-5}\ \text{light years}$

Hence, the distance it will take light to travel from Earth to Jupiter at this distance is $6.21\times 10^{-5}\ \text{light years}$
