Answer:
(26.6,29.4)
Step-by-step explanation:
The 98% confidence interval can be computed as
Point estimate± Margin of error
Point estimate=mean number of hours watching TV by college students=28.
Margin of error=1.4.
The 98% confidence interval for mean number of hours watching TV per week for all college students
28± 1.4
(28-1.4,28+1.4)
(26.6,29.4).
Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for x, we need to isolate it.
Start by adding 16 to each side to cancel out the -16:
-x=-4
-x is essentially -1 * x which can be written as -1x
-1x=-4
Divide both sides by -1 to isolate x
x=4
We can also plug this back into the equation to check:
-16-x=-20
-16-4=-20
-20=-20 --> correct!
Answer: The min value of Q is Q = 84 and it happens when x = 4 and y = 3
===========================================================
Explanation:
x+y = 7 turns into y = 7-x after subtracting x from both sides
Replace y with 7-x in the other equation to get
Q = 3x^2 + 4y^2
Q = 3x^2 + 4( y )^2
Q = 3x^2 + 4(7-x)^2
Q = 3x^2 + 4(49 - 14x + x^2)
Q = 3x^2 + 196 - 56x + 4x^2
Q = 7x^2 - 56x + 196
We have a function with one variable. Graphing 7x^2-56x+196 produces a parabola in which the vertex point is what we're after
Anything in the form p(x) = ax^2+bx+c will have a vertex (h,k) such that
h = -b/(2a)
k = p(h)
Let's find the x coordinate of the vertex
h = -(-56)/(2*7)
h = 4
Use this to find the y coordinate of the vertex
k = p(h)
p(x) = 7x^2-56x+196
p(h) = 7h^2-56h+196
p(4) = 7(4)^2-56(4)+196
p(4) = 84
The vertex is the lowest point in this case (since a = 7 is positive) and the vertex is (4,84)
Therefore, the minimum value of Q is Q = 84 and this happens when x = 4 and y = 3. Recall that y = 7-x.
We can see that,
Q = 3x^2 + 4y^2
Q = 3(4)^2 + 4(3)^2
Q = 3(16) + 4(9)
Q = 48 + 36
Q = 84
Which helps us verify we have the right Q value.
Answer:
70/9
Step-by-step explanation:
9x-81= -11
9x=-11+81
9x= 70
x= 70/9
