Answer:

A series is used only for n taking the values of natural numbers

But a function or an equation is used for all real values of x. It is not necessary that x should be a natural number.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is used when domain is all real values

f(x) = 3x+5 is valid for all x real. x can take values as irrational also, negative or fractions.

But in a series, such as 2+3n, we have the restriction for domain n as only the set of all natural numbers

Here n cannot take negative or 0 or fractions or irrational numbers.

Thus the domain is the one which makes the difference of using an equation and a series.

A series is used only for n taking the values of natural numbers

But a function or an equation is used for all real values of x. It is not necessary that x should be a natural number.

Luden [163]

9 x 8 = 72
155 - 72 = 83
83 divided by 6 =13.8

So he has to make at least 14 deliveries in order to reach his goal.

Please help, thank you

Answer:

8x + 6y = 28

9x + 3y = 39

Set to equal y.

8x + 6y = 28

6y = -8x + 28

y = -8/6x + 28/6

y = -4/3x + 14/3

9x + 3y = 39

3y = -9x + 39

y = -9/3x + 39/3

y = -3x + 13

Set equal to each other.

-4/3x + 14/3 = -3x + 13

Combine like terms.

5/3x = 25/3

Multiply by 3/5

x = 5

Plug x in.

y = -3(5) + 13

y = -15 + 13

y = -2

(5, -2)

-2x - 9y = -3

-7x - 9y= -33

Set equal to y.

-2x - 9y = -3

-9y = 2x - 3

y = -2/9x + 3/9

y = -2/9x + 1/3

-7x - 9y= -33

-9y = 7x - 33

y = -7/9x + 33/9

y = -7/9x + 11/3

Set equal to each other

-2/9x + 1/3 = -2/9x + 1/3

0 = 0

Suppose the mean SAT verbal score is 525 with a standard deviation of 100, while the mean SAT math score is 575 with a standard

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

The mean of the combined math and verbal scores is 1100, while the standard deviation is 141.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal variables

Normal variables have mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$

When we add normal variables, the combined mean is the sum of both means, and the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of both variances. The distribution is still normal.

In this question:

Verbal: $\mu_{V} = 525, \sigma_{V} = 100$ .

Math: $\mu_{M} = 575, \sigma_{M} = 100$

Combined:

$\mu = \mu_{V} + \mu_{M} = 525 + 575 = 1100$

$\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma_{V}^{2}+\sigma_{M}^{2}} = \sqrt{100^2 + 100^2} = 141$

The mean of the combined math and verbal scores is 1100, while the standard deviation is 141.
