Answer:

s = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Goal is to isolate the variable (s)

1/2s = 4s - 21

Subtract 4s from both sides - this cancels out the 4s on the right side and moves it to the left side

1/2s - 4s = -21

To add or subtract fractions, they must have a common denominator

Convert 4s to a fraction over 2

1/2s - 8/2s = -21

Subtract the numerators and keep the denominators

-7/2s = -21

Remember the goal is to isolate the variable

In order to get rid of the -7/2, we multiply by its reciprocal (which is -2/7)

What we do to one side, we must do to the other (this means multiply by -2/7 on both sides

-7/2s × -2/7 = -21 × -2/7

s = -21 × -2/7

Negative × negative = positive

s = 42/7

Divide 42 by 7

s = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

To transform a function vertically, add 3 to the constant.

$5 + 3 = 8$

So the function is

$3 {x}^{2} + 8$

Graph the function in desmos to show the translation vertically if you want proof

You are paid 1.5 times your normal hourly rate for each hour you work over 30 hours in a week. You work 34 hours this week and e

natulia [17]

Answer: $15.94

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r be your rate you get paid per hour normally. Let's set up this equation.

(30 * r) + 4(1.5 * r) = 573.83

30r + 6r = 573.83

36r = 573.83

r = 15.94 (rounded)

You get paid $15.94 hourly.

Researchers would like to test if the mean bone mineral density is different for the three different groups. Conduct an ANOVA te

laiz [17]

Answer:

H₀: μ₁ = μ₂= μ₃

Hₐ: At least one of the means is different.

Step-by-step explanation:

Analysis of variance or ANOVA test is used to determine whether the means of different groups are similar or not.

The hypothesis of an ANOVA test for n homogeneous groups is:

$H_{0}: \mu_{1}= \mu_{2}= \mu_{3}...= \mu_{n}\\H_{a}: At\ least\ one\ of\ the\ means\ is\ different$

In this case the researcher is testing whether the mean bone mineral density is different for the three different groups.

The hypothesis for this test can be defined as follows:

H₀: The mean bone mineral density is not different for the three different groups, i.e. μ₁ = μ₂= μ₃

Hₐ: The mean bone mineral density is different for the three different groups, i.e. at least one of the means is different.
