What is the standard form of the equation y=-5/2x-3 ?

1 answer:

6 0

The standard form of an equation is the form where that equation has no fractions and is written in the form ax + by = c.

To get rid of the fractions in y = -5/2 x - 3, we need to multiply both sides by 2. That makes the equation become:

2y = -5x - 6

Now we need to get it into the form ax + by = c. We can do this by adding 5x to each side.

5x + 2y = -6 is our answer

From the table we can see:
Number of songs:         Cost:
          0                         $ 0
          1                         $1.25
          2                         $2.50

          4                         $5.00
Therefore the rate of change is: (2.50 - 1.25) / ( 2 - 1 ) = $1.25
Answer:
It means that : C. The cost increases $1.25 for each additional song that is downloaded.

Answer:

a) $160,000

b) $55,000

c) $332264.804

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that there are 10 employees in a particular division of a company and their salaries have a mean of $70,000, a median of $55,000, and a standard deviation of $20,000.

And also the largest number on the list is $100,000 but By accident, this number is changed to $1,000,000.

a) Value of mean after the change in value is given by;

Original Mean = $70,000

$\frac{\sum X}{n}$ = $70,000 ⇒ $\sum X$ = 70,000 * 10 = $700,000

New $\sum X$ after change = $700,000 - $100,000 + $1,000,000 = $1600000

Therefore, New mean = $\frac{1600000}{10}$ = $160,000 .

b) Median will not get affected as median is the middle most value in the data set and since $1,000,000 is considered to be an outlier so median remain unchanged at $55,000 .

c) Original Variance = $20000^{2}$ i.e. $20000^{2}$ = $\frac{\sum x^{2} - n*xbar }{n -1}$

Original $\sum x^{2}$ = ( $20000^{2}$ * (10-1)) + (10 * 70,000) = $3,600,700,000

New $\sum x^{2}$ = $3,600,700,000 - $100,000^{2} + 1,000,000^{2}$ = 9.936007 * $10^{11}$

New Variance = $\frac{new\sum x^{2} - n*new xbar }{n -1}$ = $\frac{9.936007 *10^{11} - 10*160000 }{10 -1}$ = 1.103999 * $10^{11}$ Therefore, standard deviation after change = $\sqrt{1.103999 * 10^{11} }$ = $332264.804 .
