You bought a video game for

Temka [501]

Answer: $0

Step-by-step explanation:

every six months means the game loses 25%*2 per year = 50%

2 years would be 50%*2 = 100%

Therefore, if the game loses 100% of its value in 2 years, it will be free.

Does increase in sample size increases degrees of freedom for t-tests.

Elena-2011 [213]

Basically degrees of freedom are related to sample size (n-1). If the df increases, it also stands that the sample size is increasing; the graph of the t-distribution will have skinnier tails, pushing the critical value towards the mean.

What are the solutions to the following system?

bija089 [108]

The solutions are $(\sqrt{2},-1) \text { and }(-\sqrt{2},-1)$ .

Solution:

Given equation:

$-2 x^{2}+y=-5$

Add $2 x^{2}$ on both sides.

$-2 x^{2}+y+2 x^{2}=-5+2 x^{2}$

$y=-5+2 x^{2}$ -------- (1)

$y=-3 x^{2}+5$ (given) -------- (2)

Equate (1) and (2).

$-5+2 x^{2}=-3 x^{2}+5$

Add $3 x^{2}$ on both sides.

$-5+2 x^{2}+3 x^{2}=-3 x^{2}+5 +3 x^{2}$

$-5+5x^{2}=5$

Add 5 on both sides.

$-5+5x^{2}+5=5+5$

$5x^{2}=10$

Divide by 5 on both sides, we get

$x^{2}=2$

Taking square root on both sides, we get

$x=\sqrt{2}, x=-\sqrt{2}$

Substitute $x=\sqrt{2}$ in (1).

$y=-5+2(\sqrt{2})^2$

$y=-5+4$

$y=-1$

Substitute $x=-\sqrt{2}$ in (1).

$y=-5+2(-\sqrt{2})^2$

$y=-5+4$

$y=-1$

Therefore the solutions are $(\sqrt{2},-1) \text { and }(-\sqrt{2},-1)$ .

Option C is the correct answer.

At 107°F, a certain insect chirps at a rate of 92 times per minute, and at 113°F, they chirp 116 times per minute. Write an equa

dsp73

Answer:

The equation in slope-intercept form that represents the situation is y=0.25*x + 84 where y represents the temperature in ° F and x the number of chirps per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear equation can be expressed in the form y=m*x + b. In this equation, x and y are coordinates of a point, m is the slope and b is the y coordinate of the y-intercept. Since this equation describes a line in terms of its slope and its y-intercept, this equation is said to be in its slope-intercept form.

When there are two points of a line (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), the slope is determined by the quotient between the difference of the ordinate of these two points and the difference of the abscissa of the same points. This is:

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

Having a point on the line, you can substitute the values of m, x and y in the equation y = mx + b and thus find b.

In this case:

(x1, y1): (92, 107)
(x2, y2): (116, 113)

So:

$m=\frac{113-107}{116-92}$

m= 0.25

substituting the values of m, x1 and y1 in the equation y = mx + b you have:

107= 0.25*92 + b

107 - 0.25*92= b

84=b

A restaurant earns $1073 on Friday and $1108 on Saturday. Write and solve an equation to find the amount xx (in dollars) the res

Brums [2.3K]

(1073 + 1108 + x) / 3 = 1000
(2181 + x) / 3 = 1000 ....multiply both sides by 3
2181 + x = 1000 * 3
2181 + x = 3000
x = 3000 - 2181
x = 819 <== they would need to earn $ 819 on Sunday
