If y varies inversely with x, and y = -3 when x = 18, find x when y = -2

Answer:

The correct answer would be 12, which isn't one of your options.

Step-by-step explanation:

When finding direct variation, you start with the base equation.

y = kx

Now we can use the initial values of x and y to find k.

-3 = k(18)

-1/6 = k

Now with the value of k, we can model the equation.

y = -1/6x

And we can find the new x by using our new value of y.

-2 = -1/6x

12 = x

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

$301 - $397

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Empirical rule

1) 68% of data falls within 1 standard deviation from the mean - that means between μ - σ and μ + σ .

2)95% of data falls within 2 standard deviations from the mean - between μ – 2σ and μ + 2σ .

3)99.7% of data falls within 3 standard deviations from the mean - between μ - 3σ and μ + 3σ .

From the above question,

Mean = 349 , standard deviation = 24.

Confidence interval = 95%

Using 2)95% of data falls within 2 standard deviations from the mean - between μ – 2σ and μ + 2σ .

μ – 2σ

= 349 - 2(24)

= 349 - 48

= 301

μ + 2σ

349 + 2(24)

= 349 + 48

= 397

Therefore, according to the standard deviation rule, approximately 95% of the students spent between $301 and $397 on textbooks in a semester.

Let E = {(x, y) e R2|xy > 0}. Determine whether E is a subspace of R2 . X3
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

E is not a subspace of \mathbb{R}^2

Step-by-step explanation:

E is not a subspace of  \mathbb{R}^2

In order to see this, we must find two points (a,b), (c,d) in  E such that (a,b) + (c,d) is not in E.

Consider

(a,b) = (1,1)

(c,d) = (-1,-1)

It is easy to see that both (a,b) and (c,d) are in E since 1*1>0 and (1-)*(-1)>0.  

But (a,b) + (c,d) = (1-1, 1-1) = (0,0)

and (0,0) is not in E.

By the way, it can be proved that in any vector space all sub spaces must have the vector zero.
