Solve for x 5x+5x+3=4(2x+1)-2

1 answer:

6 0

We need to add like terms and distribute before we try to isolate X.
10x+3=8x+4-2
10x+3=8x+2

Now let's isolate x. We should start with subtracting 8x from both sides.
2x+3=2
Now, let's subtract 3 from both sides.
2x=-1
Now divide each side by 2.
X=-0.5
We now know x is -0.5, so let's check.
5(-0.5)+5(-0.5)+3=4[2(-0.5)+1]-2
-2.5-2.5+3=4(0)-2
-5+3=0-2
-2=-2

So, X= -0.5

Professor wonders whether a student's homework average (X) could be used to predict their final grade in the course (Y) . She ca

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

The dependent variable is the final grade in the course and is the vriable of interest on this case.

H0: $\beta_1 = 0$

H1: $\beta_1 \neq 0$

And if we reject the null hypothesis we can conclude that we have a significant relationship between the two variables analyzed.

Step-by-step explanation:

On this case w ehave the following linear model:

$Y= 21.839 +0.724 X$

Where Y represent the final grade in the course and X the student's homework average. For this linear model the slope is given by $\beta_1 = 0.724$ and the intercept is $\beta_0 = 21.839$

Which is the dependent variable, and why?

The dependent variable is the final grade in the course and is the vriable of interest on this case.

Based on the material taught in this course, which of the following is the most appropriate alternative hypothesis to use for resolving this question?

Since we conduct a regression the hypothesis of interest are:

H0: $\beta_1 = 0$

H1: $\beta_1 \neq 0$

And if we reject the null hypothesis we can conclude that we have a significant relationship between the two variables analyzed.

What is each power of i with its multiplicative inverse.

pentagon [3]

Answer:

1) multiplicative inverse of i = -i

2) Multiplicative inverse of i^2 = -1

3) Multiplicative inverse of i^3 = i

4) Multiplicative inverse of i^4 = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find multiplicative inverse of each of the following.

1) i

The multiplicative inverse is 1/i

if i is in the denominator we find their conjugate

$=1/i * i/i\\=i/i^2\\=We\,\, know\,\, that\,\, i^2 = -1\\=i/(-1)\\= -i$

So, multiplicative inverse of i = -i

2) i^2

The multiplicative inverse is 1/i^2

We know that i^2 = -1

1/-1 = -1

so, Multiplicative inverse of i^2 = -1

3) i^3

The multiplicative inverse is 1/i^3

We know that i^2 = -1

and i^3 = i.i^2

$1/i^3\\=1/i.i^2 \\=1/i(-1)\\=-1/i * i/i\\=-i/i^2\\= -i/-1\\= i$

so, Multiplicative inverse of i^3 = i

4) i^4

The multiplicative inverse is 1/i^4

We know that i^2 = -1

and i^4 = i^2.i^2

$=1/i^2.i^2\\=1/(-1)(-1)\\=1/1\\=1$

so, Multiplicative inverse of i^4 = 1
