Answer:

m=-\frac{7600}{8250}=-0.921

Nowe we can find the means for x and y like this:

\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}=\frac{550}{10}=55

\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}=\frac{1042}{10}=104.2

And we can find the intercept using this:

b=\bar y -m \bar x=104.2-(-0.921*55)=104.707

So the line would be given by:

y=-0.921 x +104.707

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following data given:

Demand (x): 10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100

Price (y): 141 , 133,126, 128,113,97, 90, 82,79,53

We want to construct a linear model like this:

y = mx +b

For this case we need to calculate the slope with the following formula:

m=\frac{S_{xy}}{S_{xx}}

Where:

S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}

S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}

So we can find the sums like this:

\sum_{i=1}^n x_i =550

\sum_{i=1}^n y_i =1042

\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i =38500

\sum_{i=1}^n y^2_i =115882

\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i =49710

With these we can find the sums:

S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}=38500-\frac{550^2}{10}=8250

S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}=49710-\frac{550*1042}{10}=-7600

And the slope would be:

m=-\frac{7600}{8250}=-0.921

Nowe we can find the means for x and y like this:

\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}=\frac{550}{10}=55

\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}=\frac{1042}{10}=104.2

And we can find the intercept using this:

b=\bar y -m \bar x=104.2-(-0.921*55)=104.707

So the line would be given by:

p(x)=-0.921 x +104.707

Find the value of x - Step by step answer please
Ugo [173]

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

\frac{8}{x+1} = \frac{-16}{x+4}

=============================================================

Cross multiplying the terms :

⇒ 8 (x + 4) = -16 (x + 1)

⇒ 8x + 32 = -16x - 16

⇒ 24x = -48

⇒ x = -2

What is 3/4 as a decimal
PolarNik [594]
3/4 would be .75 because you would think of 100/4 which is 25 so you multiply 3 by 25. Hope this helped!

the right rectangular prism shown has a length of 8ft a width of 2ft and a height of 6ft the dimensions of the prism are doubled
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Part 1) The scale factor is 2

Part 2) The dimensions of the enlarged prism are

a.Length=(8)(2)=16 ft

b.Width=(2)(2)=4 ft

c.Height=(6)(2)=12 ft

Part 3) The surface area of the smaller rectangular prism is 152 ft^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

we now that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal and this ratio is called the scale factor

Part 1)

Find the scale factor

we know that

If the dimensions of the smaller prism are doubled , then the scale factor from the smaller rectangular prism to the larger rectangular prism is equal to 2

Part 2)

we know that

To find the dimensions of the enlarged figure, multiply the dimensions of the smaller prism by the scale factor

so

Length=(8)(2)=16 ft

Width=(2)(2)=4 ft

Height=(6)(2)=12 ft

Part 3) Find the surface area of the smaller rectangular prism

we know that

The surface area of the rectangular prism is equal to the area of its six rectangular faces

SA=2(8)(2)+2(2)(6)+2(8)(6)=152 ft^{2}

Question is in the picture
irakobra [83]

Answer:

49.4 (rounded to the nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to use the Pythagorean theorem -> a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2} -> c^{2} is the hypotenuse

         a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}

(7x + 7)^{2} + 5x = c^{2}

(7x7)^{2} + (5x7) = c^{2}

      49^{2} + 35 = c^{2}

          2436 = c^{2}

         \sqrt{2436} = c

                 c = 49.355850717

                 c = 49.4 (round to the nearest tenth)

hope this helps, sorry if it is not right
