Answer:

SMALLER INTEGER = 3

LARGER INTEGER = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Five times the larger of two consecutive odd integers is equal to one more than eight times the smaller

Let the larger = L, smaller = L - 2

5 × L = 8(L - 2) + 1

5L= 8L - 16 + 1

5L = 8L - 15

5L - 8L = - 15

-3L = - 15

Divide both sides by 3

L = 5

The smaller integer will be (L - 2)

(L - 2) = (5 - 2) = 3

HENCE, SMALLER INTEGER = 3

LARGER INTEGER = 5

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{y}{2} =x^{2} -7$

$\frac{a}{2} =2^{2} -7$

$\frac{a}{2} =-3$

$a=-6$

$\frac{b}{2} =1^{2} -7$

$\frac{b}{2} =-6$

$b=-12$

From the calculations above, we learn that line l and the curve intersect at (2, -6) and (1, -12). Next, we will set up a system of linear equations to solve for the slope and the y-intercept of line l.

$-6=2m+b$

$-12=m+b$

$-24=2m+2b$

$18=-b$

$b=-18$

$-12=m-18$

$m=6$

Therefore, the slope of line l is 6.

Answer:

12.4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Everything is done right so far.

Now to calculate the height of the tree, 12tan46, put the equation into a calculator.

Either a graphing calculator (make sure it is in degrees, not radians),

or the one on your phone (turn your phone landscape in the calculator app to get the trig functions.))

Answer:

The Pearson's coefficient of correlation between the is 0.700.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correlation coefficient is a statistical degree that computes the strength of the linear relationship amid the relative movements of the two variables (i.e. dependent and independent).It ranges from -1 to +1.

The formula to compute correlation between two variables <em>X</em> and <em>Y</em> is:

$r(X, Y)=\frac{Cov(X, Y)}{\sqrt{V(X)\cdot V(Y)}}$
