Answer:

A) (-17+5k,17-4k)

B) (-4+3k,4-2k)

C) No integer pairs.

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this, I'm going to use Euclidean's Algorithm.

4x+5y=17

5=4(1)+1

4=1(4)

So going backwards through those equations:

5-4(1)=1

-4(1)+5(1)=1

Multiply both sides by 17:

4(-17)+5(17)=17

So one integer pair satisfying 4x+5y=17 is (-17,17).

What is the slope for this equation?

Let's put it in slope-intercept form:

4x+5y=17

Subtract 4x on both sides:

5y=-4x+17

Divide both sides by 5:

y=(-4/5)x+(17/5)

The slope is down 4 and right 5.

So let's show more solutions other than (-17,17) by using the slope.

All integer pairs satisfying this equation is (-17+5k,17-4k).

Let's check:

4(-17+5k)+5(17-4k)

-68+20k+85-20k

-68+85

That was exactly what we wanted since we were looking for integer pairs that satisfy 4x+5y=17.

Onward to the next problem.

6x+9y=12

9=6(1)+3

6=3(2)

Now backwards through the equations:

9-6(1)=3

9(1)-6(1)=3

Multiply both sides by 4:

9(4)-6(4)=12

-6(4)+9(4)=12

6(-4)+9(4)=12

So one integer pair satisfying 6x+9y=12 is (-4,4).

Let's find the slope of 6x+9y=12.

6x+9y=12

Subtract 6x on both sides:

9y=-6x+12

Divide both sides by 9:

y=(-6/9)x+(12/9)

Reduce:

y=(-2/3)x+(4/3)

The slope is down 2 right 3.

So all the integer pairs are (-4+3k,4-2k).

Let's check:

6(-4+3k)+9(4-2k)

-24+18k+36-18k

-24+36

That checks out since we wanted integer pairs that made 6x+9y=12.

Onward to the last problem.

4x+10y=9

10=4(2)+2

4=2(2)

So the gcd(4,10)=2 which means this one doesn't have any solutions because there is no integer k such that 2k=9.

I need some help with graphing?

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

The graph passes through the points (2,1) and (4,2) and the graph lies to the right of the y-axis

<h3>How to determine the properties of the graph?</h3>

The form of the equation is given as:

$f(x) = \log_a(x)$

Let a = 2.

So, we have:

$f(x) = \log_2(x)$

Next, we plot the graph of the function f(x) (see attachment)

From the attached graph, we have the following highlights:

The graph passes through the points (2,1) and (4,2)
The graph lies to the right of the y-axis

Despite tuition skyrocketing, a college education is still valuable. Recent calculation by the federal reserve bank in San Franc

insens350 [35]

Answer:

The variance is: $169,367,949

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Tuition: $40,632, $35,554, $42,192, $33,432, $69,479, and $43,598

Required

Determine the variance

First, calculate the mean

$\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n}$

Where

$n =6$

$\bar x = \frac{40,632+35,554+42,192+33,432+69,479+43,598}{6}$

$\bar x = \frac{264,887}{6}$

$\bar x = 44147.8333333$

$\bar x = 44148$ --- approximated

The sample variance (s^2) is calculated using:

$s^2 = \frac{\sum(x - \bar x)^2}{n-1}$

This gives:

$s^2 = \frac{(40,632-44148)^2+(35,554-44148)^2+(42,192-44148)^2+(33,432-44148)^2+(69,479-44148)^2+(43,598-44148)^2}{6-1}$

$s^2 = \frac{846839745}{5}$

$s^2 = 169367949$

<em>The variance is: $169,367,949</em>

qaws [65]

So, we write a fraction, which would be 12/100. Then we would do 12/100 = x/550. You could divide 100 by 550, which is 5.5. Then we would multiply 5.5 by 12, which is 66. So 66 people would be wearing glasses.
