Answer:

w = -1.44 and w = -14.06

Step-by-step explanation:

That "(3) / (4)" in (w+14)/(4w+6)=(3)/(4) looks fishy. Assuming that you really meant 3/4, then we have (w+14)/(4w+6)=3/4.

Mult. both sides by 4 to remove the fraction: 4(w+14)/(4w+6) = 3.

Multiply out (w+14)/(4w+6): 4w^2 + 6w + 56w + 84. Combine the w terms, obtaining 4w^2 + 62w + 84. Then the original equation becomes:

4w^2 + 62w + 84 = 3, or 4w^2 + 62w + 81 = 0.

This is a quadratic equation, with a = 4, b = 62 and c = 81. The two roots (values of

w) are as follows:

-62 plus or minus √(62^2-4(4)(81)

----------------------------------------------------------

-62 plus or minus √(2548) -62 plus or minus 50.48

w = ------------------------------------------- = ---------------------------------------

8 8

Simplifying, we get w = -1.44 and w = -14.06

3. Is the relationship shown by the data linear? If so, model the data with an equation X | Y 1 ,5| 5,10| 9,15| 13,20|

Answer:

$y=\frac{5}{4}x+\frac{15}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

x | y

-------

1 5

5 10

9 15

13 20

This one is linear because as x goes up by the same number so does y. So the ratio of difference of y to difference of x is the same per pair of points.

So a linear equation in slope-intercept form is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

To find the slope, I'm going to line up the points vertically and subtract, then put 2nd difference over 1st difference. Like so,

( 1 , 5)

-( 5 , 10)

----------------

-4 -5

So the slope is 5/4 which makes sense since the y's are going up by 5 each time and the x's are going up by 4 each time.

So we have m=5/4. Let's plug that into our y=mx+b.

y=5/4 x+b

To find b, we need to use y=5/4 x+b along with one of the given points.

Choose; it doesn't matter. I like (1,5) I guess.

y=5/4 x +b with (1,5)

5=5/4 (1)+b

5=5/4 +b

Subtract 5/4 on both sides:

5-5/4=b

20/4-5/4=b (Found a common denominator)

15/4=b

The y-intercept is 15/4 so b=15/4.

So the equation for the line in slope-intercept form is y=5/4 x +15/4.

$y=\frac{5}{4}x+\frac{15}{4}$
