Answer:

The equation of trend line is y = 0.500000x + 16.857143.

The linear trend forecast for period 8 is about 20.86.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data table is

Period            Sales

1                      19

2                     18

3                     15

4                     20

5                     18

6                     22

7                     20

We need to find the linear trend forecast for period 8.

The general form of linear regression is

y=a+bx             .... (1)

where, a is y-intercept and b is slope.

b=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^nx_iy_i-n\overline{x}\overline{y}}{\sum_{i=1}^nx_i^2-n\overline{x}^2}

a=\overline{y}-b\overline{x}

Using the graphing calculator we get

a=16.857143

b=0.500000

Substitute these values in equation (1).

y = 0.500000x + 16.857143

The equation of trend line is y = 0.500000x + 16.857143.

Substitute x=8 to find the linear trend forecast for period 8.

y = 0.500000(8) + 16.857143

y =20.857143

y \approx 20.86

Therefore the linear trend forecast for period 8 is about 20.86.

Can you fine the cube root of a negative number? If so, is it positive or negative? Explain your answer.
Nata [24]

Answer:

Yes, you can find the cube root of a negative number. The answer will be negative!

Step-by-step explanation:

Example: Find the cube root of -27

We know that a cube root is a number multiplied by itself 3 times (NOT MEANING THE NUMBER TIMES 3)

For example, The cube root of 27 positive is 3 because 3 x 3 x 3 = 27

But if we are using a negative number: It is really different because we got to know the rules.

The setup: -3 x -3 x -3 = -27

If we started with -3 x -3 first we know that a negative times a negative equals positive so the answer will be 9 positive, then we have this equation left:

9 x -3 = -27

The rule with this is a number times a negative is negative, so the answer of the question "Find the cube root of -27 is -3"

3c+6=18 how do you work this problem?
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

c = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

3c + 6 = 18

Reorder the terms:

6 + 3c = 18

Solving

6 + 3c = 18

Solving for variable 'c'.

Move all terms containing c to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.

6 + -6 + 3c = 18 + -6

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0

0 + 3c = 18 + -6

3c = 18 + -6

Combine like terms: 18 + -6 = 12

3c = 12

Divide each side by '3'.

c = 4

Simplifying

c = 4

Jennifer wants to net $35,000 on her house. Her closing costs will be 7,500 plus a 7% commission. She owes $185,000 on her loan.
GenaCL600 [577]
7,500 plus the commision is 525 now you add it to the 7,500 that will leave you with 8,025 now you subtract it from 185,000 so the answer will be 176,975                        

I'm glad if it helps :)
