8x –3(5x–2)=7–10x <br><br> Solve this equation with a clear value for x

Serga [27]

Answer:

x = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

8x –3(5x–2)=7–10x

Distribute

8x - 15x +6 = 7-10x

Combine like terms

-7x + 6 = 7- 10x

Add 10x to each side

-7x +10x+ 6 = 7- 10x+10x

3x+6 = 7

Subtract 6 from each side

3x+6-6 =7-6

3x = 1

Divide each side by 3

3x/3 = 1/3

x = 1/3

find the equation of the line passes through the point (-1,2) and making an angle of 45° with the line x-y+1=0

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

line given is x-y+1= 0

you can rewrite it in slope intercept y=mx+b where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept where the line meets the y-axis

x-y+1 =0 subtract x and 1 from both sides of the equation

-y = -x-1 multiply both sides by -1

y = x+1 so the slope of this line is 1 and the y-intercept is 1

If you draw this line you can see that there are actually 2 lines that form 45° angles with y=x+1 and pass through (-1, 2), one is vertical x= -1 and one horizontal y =2

Suppose twenty-two communities have an average of = 123.6 reported cases of larceny per year. assume that σ is known to be 36.8

Delvig [45]

We are given the following data:

Average = m = 123.6
Population standard deviation = σ= psd = 36.8
Sample Size = n = 22

We are to find the confidence intervals for 90%, 95% and 98% confidence level.

Since the population standard deviation is known, and sample size is not too small, we can use standard normal distribution to find the confidence intervals.

Part 1) 90% Confidence Interval
z value for 90% confidence interval = 1.645

Lower end of confidence interval = $m-z *\frac{psd}{ \sqrt{n} }$
Using the values, we get:
Lower end of confidence interval= $123.6-1.645* \frac{36.8}{ \sqrt{22}}=110.69$

Upper end of confidence interval = $m+z *\frac{psd}{ \sqrt{n} }$
Using the values, we get:
Upper end of confidence interval= $123.6+1.645* \frac{36.8}{ \sqrt{22}}=136.51$

Thus the 90% confidence interval will be (110.69, 136.51)

Part 2) 95% Confidence Interval
z value for 95% confidence interval = 1.96

Lower end of confidence interval = $m-z *\frac{psd}{ \sqrt{n} }$
Using the values, we get:
Lower end of confidence interval= $123.6-1.96* \frac{36.8}{ \sqrt{22}}=108.22$

Upper end of confidence interval = $m+z *\frac{psd}{ \sqrt{n} }$
Using the values, we get:
Upper end of confidence interval= $123.6+1.96* \frac{36.8}{ \sqrt{22}}=138.98$

Thus the 95% confidence interval will be (108.22, 138.98)

Part 3) 98% Confidence Interval
z value for 98% confidence interval = 2.327

Lower end of confidence interval = $m-z *\frac{psd}{ \sqrt{n} }$
Using the values, we get:
Lower end of confidence interval= $123.6-2.327* \frac{36.8}{ \sqrt{22}}=105.34$
Upper end of confidence interval = $m+z *\frac{psd}{ \sqrt{n} }$
Using the values, we get:
Upper end of confidence interval= $123.6+2.327* \frac{36.8}{ \sqrt{22}}=141.86$

Thus the 98% confidence interval will be (105.34, 141.86)

Part 4) Comparison of Confidence Intervals
The 90% confidence interval is: (110.69, 136.51)
The 95% confidence interval is: (108.22, 138.98)
The 98% confidence interval is: (105.34, 141.86)

As the level of confidence is increasing, the width of confidence interval is also increasing. So we can conclude that increasing the confidence level increases the width of confidence intervals.

Assuming that x=-2 and y=3 evaluate xy-x^3

meriva

(-2^3) = -8.
-2 times 3 = -6.

The expression is now -6 - (-8).

-6 + 8 = 2.

The answer should be 2.
