X^2-7x=18 solve for x please show work

1 answer:

3 0

So the answer is, x1=-2, x2=9
x^2-7x=18
x^2-7x-18=0
x^2+2x-9x-18=0
x*(x+2)-9(x+2)=0
(x+2)*(x-9)=o
x+2=0
x-9=0
X=-2
X=9
I hope u understand!

When compared with the independent variable, how many of the graphs represent a linear relationship?

strojnjashka [21]

Since a slope differe, this is not linear relationship. Simply, if you connect all points on the graph, they will not lie on the same line. Two next graphs represent the linear relationships, so they represent the linear relationship.

The price of a DVD is $19 . The price is 12% lower than last week. What was the price of the DVD last week? Round your answer to

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

The original cost of the DVD was $21`.59

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, you first must note that the new price is 88% of the older price. We get this since there was a subtraction of 12%.

Now knowing that, we can divide the new price by the percentage paid and it will give us the original price.

$19/88% = Original Cost

19/.88 = Original Cost

$21.59 = Original Cost

Refer to the following scenario:You want to see if there is a difference between the exercise habits of Science majors and Math

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

1. H0: P1 = P2

2. Ha: P1 ≠ P2

3. pooled proportion p = 0.542

4. P-value = 0.0171

5. The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

At a signficance level of 0.01, there is not enough evidence to support the claim that there is significant difference between the exercise habits of Science majors and Math majors .

6. The 99% confidence interval for the difference between proportions is (-0.012, 0.335).

Step-by-step explanation:

We should perform a hypothesis test on the difference of proportions.

As we want to test if there is significant difference, the hypothesis are:

Null hypothesis: there is no significant difference between the proportions (p1-p2 = 0).

Alternative hypothesis: there is significant difference between the proportions (p1-p2 ≠ 0).

The sample 1 (science), of size n1=135 has a proportion of p1=0.607.

$p_1=X_1/n_1=82/135=0.607$

The sample 2 (math), of size n2=92 has a proportion of p2=0.446.

$p_2=X_2/n_2=41/92=0.446$

The difference between proportions is (p1-p2)=0.162.

$p_d=p_1-p_2=0.607-0.446=0.162$

The pooled proportion, needed to calculate the standard error, is:

$p=\dfrac{X_1+X_2}{n_1+n_2}=\dfrac{82+41}{135+92}=\dfrac{123}{227}=0.542$

The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:

$s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_1}+\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_2}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.542*0.458}{135}+\dfrac{0.542*0.458}{92}}\\\\\\s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{0.001839+0.002698}=\sqrt{0.004537}=0.067$

Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:

$z=\dfrac{p_d-(\pi_1-\pi_2)}{s_{p1-p2}}=\dfrac{0.162-0}{0.067}=\dfrac{0.162}{0.067}=2.4014$

This test is a two-tailed test, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a z-table):

$\text{P-value}=2\cdot P(z>2.4014)=0.0171$

As the P-value (0.0171) is bigger than the significance level (0.01), the effect is not significant.

The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

At a signficance level of 0.01, there is not enough evidence to support the claim that there is significant difference between the exercise habits of Science majors and Math majors .

We want to calculate the bounds of a 99% confidence interval of the difference between proportions.

For a 99% CI, the critical value for z is z=2.576.

The margin of error is:

$MOE=z \cdot s_{p1-p2}=2.576\cdot 0.067=0.1735$

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

$LL=(p_1-p_2)-z\cdot s_{p1-p2} = 0.162-0.1735=-0.012\\\\UL=(p_1-p_2)+z\cdot s_{p1-p2}= 0.162+0.1735=0.335$

The 99% confidence interval for the difference between proportions is (-0.012, 0.335).
