Write the equation in standard form using integers: y = -2/5x - 3

1 answer:

7 0

Let's assume you meant y = (-2/5)x - 3.

-2/5x could be misinterpreted.

First, clear out the fraction(s). To do this, mult. both sides of the above eq'n by 5.

Result: 5y= -2x - 15. Add 2x to both sides. The resulting equation is what you wanted: an equation in the form Ax + By = C (standard form).

The formula for an arithmetic sequence is An=A1+(n-1)d.
Using this knowledge, you can set up the equation easily to be An=1+(12-1)-5
You then simplify this to 1-55 using PEMDAS, giving you the answer for the twelfth term being -54, you then do this for every term if you want (or you could just subtract 5 by the terms after 14 till you get to -54. After all that, you add the twelve terms up to get -319 as your final answer

A regression was run to determine if there is a relationship between the happiness index (y) and life expectancy in years of a g

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

(A) $y=-0.762+0.119x$

(B) If a country increases its life expectancy, the happiness index will increase.

(C) If the life expectancy is increased by 3.5 years in a certain country, the happiness index will increase by 0.4165.

(D) If the life expectancy is 67 years in a certain country, the happiness index will be 7.21.

Step-by-step explanation:

A regression analysis was performed to determine if there is a relationship between the happiness index (y) and life expectancy in years of a given country (x).

The output of the regression analysis are as follows:

a = -0.762

b = 0.119

r² = 0.8649

r = 0.93

(A)

The equation of the Least Squares Regression line of the form y = _ + _ x is:

$y=-0.762+0.119x$

(B)

The correction between the variables happiness index (y) and life expectancy in years of a given country (x) is, 0.93.

The correlation coefficient is positive. This implies that there is a positive relation between the two variables, i.e. as the value of life expectancy in years increases the happiness index also increases.

Thus, if a country increases its life expectancy, the happiness index will increase.

(C)

Compute the value of y for x = x + 3.5 as follows:

$y=-0.762+0.119x$

$=-0.762+0.119\times (x+3.5)\\\\=(-0.762+0.119x)+0.4165\\\\=y+0.4165$

Thus, if the life expectancy is increased by 3.5 years in a certain country, the happiness index will increase by 0.4165.

(D)

Compute the value of y for x = 67 as follows:

$y=-0.762+0.119x$

$=-0.762+0.119\times 67\\\\=-0.762+7.973\\\\=7.211\\\\\approx 7.21$

Thus, if the life expectancy is 67 years in a certain country, the happiness index will be 7.21.

Answer: $\bold{y=\dfrac{1\pm \sqrt{4x+13}}{2}}$

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Inverse is when you swap the x's and y's and solve for y:

$y+\dfrac{13}{4}=\bigg(x-\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg)^2\\\\\\x+\dfrac{13}{4}=\bigg(y-\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg)^2\rightarrow \text{(swapped the x's and y's)}\\\\\\\sqrt{x+\dfrac{13}{4}}=\sqrt{\bigg(y-\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg)^2}\rightarrow \text{(took square root of both sides)}\\\\\\\sqrt{\dfrac{4x+13}{4}}=\pm \bigg(y-\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg)}\rightarrow \text{(created common denominator in radical)}\\\\\\ \dfrac{\sqrt{4x+13}}{2}=\pm \bigg(y-\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg)}\rightarrow \text{(simplified radical)}$

$\pm \dfrac{\sqrt{4x+13}}{2}=y-\dfrac{1}{2}}\rightarrow \text{(divided both sides by}\ \pm )\\\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}\pm \dfrac{\sqrt{4x+13}}{2}=y\quad \rightarrow \text{(added}\ \dfrac{1}{2}\ \text{to both sides)}\\\\\\\dfrac{1\pm \sqrt{4x+13}}{2}=y\quad \rightarrow \text{(combined numerators)}$

Which inequality represents the interval of tenths that the square root of 14 lies between?

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

3.7 < √14 < 3.8

Step-by-step explanation:

First approximation

9 < 14 < 16, so

3 < √14 < 4

Second approximation

14 is closer to 16 than to 9.

Is √14 between 3.7 and 3.8? If so, then

3.7² < 14 < 3.8²

13.69 < 14 < 14.44. TRUE

The inequality is 3.7 < √14 < 3.8.
