Answer:
c = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
If f(x) = 2x^3 - x + c and f(2) = 10, plug in 2 for the x values in the function and make the function output 10.
10 = 2(2^3) - 2 + c Now, we only have to deal with one variable, that is c.
10 = 2(8) - 2 + c
10 = 16 - 2 + c
10 = 14 + c
-4 = c After simplifying, we get that c is -4.
To check this, plug in 2 for x, and -4 for c in the function. If the function produces 10 as the result, the halleluja!
f(2) = 2(2^3) - 2 - 4
f(2) = 2(8) - 2 - 4
f(2) = 16 - 2 - 4
f(2) = 10
Linear equations are all solved the same way. Figure out the operations performed on the variable. Undo those in reverse order.
Here, the variable is
- divided by 2
- has -7 added.
In reverse order, we undo these operations by
- adding 7
- multiplying by 2.
Whatever we do to one side of an equation, we must also do to the other side. That is how the equal sign remains valid.
2 = m/2 -7
2 +7 = m/2 -7 +7 . . . . . add 7
9 = m/2 . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
2*9 = 2*m/2 . . . . . . . . multiply by 2
18 = m . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify. (You know that 2/2 = 1, and m*1 = m.)
The answer is m = 18.

Check:
.. 2 = 18/2 -7
.. 2 = 9 -7 . . . . . . . true. The answer checks OK.
Answer:
28.95
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The 95% confidence interval is "87.94, 91.86".
Step-by-step explanation:
The given values are:
Sample batches,
n = 25
Sample mean concentration,
= 89.9 mg
Amount of chemical,
σ = 5
α = 0.05
The critical value from Z table will be:
= 
= 
= 
Now,
The confidence interval will be:
= 
On substituting the values, we get
= 
= 
= 
Lower limit will be:
= 
= 
Upper limit will be:
= 
=
