Answer:

The forecast for November is 235 if August's forecast was 145.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating forecast using exponential smoothing is:

F_{t} = F_{t-1}  + \alpha (A_{t-1} - F_{t-1} )

Where Ft = New month forecast

           Ft-1 = Previous month forecast

           At-1 = Previous month actual value

            α = smoothing constant

We are given F₈ = 145 (forecast for August), A₈ = 200 (Actual Value for August), α = 2, and we need to compute the forecast for November. So, We will first calculate the forecast for September then October and then November, step-by-step.

So, forecast for September is:

F₉ = F₈ + α (A₈ - F₈)

    = 145 + 2*(200-145)

    = 145 + 2*55

F₉ = 255

Then, forecast for October is:

F₁₀ = F₉ + α (A₉ - F₉)

     = 255 + 2*(220-255)

     = 255 + 2*(-35)

F₁₀ = 185

The forecast for November is:

F₁₁ = F₁₀ + α (A₁₀ - F₁₀)

    = 185 + 2*(210 - 185)

F₁₁ = 235

I need to step-by- step ways on how this is or isn’t a solvable equation. Please HELP
Darya [45]

Answer:

it is a solvable equation

Step-by-step explanation:

(x + 2) -3(x - 4) = 6 and x = 4

if x = 4 then fill in all the x's with 4 so the equation is now:

(4 + 2) -3(4 - 4) = 6

Use PEMDAS

Now the equation is 6 - 3(0) = 6

-3 times 0 is 0 so it's 6-0=6

6 = 6

when you put the 4 in for the x variables and the numbers on both sides of the equal sign are the same it makes the equation true

hope this makes sense and hope it helps :)

Alex

Answer:

<em>C. (-2, 7)</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Put y = 7 to the equation x + y = 5:

x + 7 = 5          <em>subtract 7 from both sides</em>

x = -2
