Solve for X: 3(x+1)=-2(x-1)-4

Distributions and Comparing Data Project

Answer:

1. The shape of the histogram created with MS Excel is approximately bell shaped and approximately evenly spread about the central (largest counts) values

The shape of the box plot created with MS Excel is approximately evenly distributed

2. The appropriate measure of central tendency for a bell shaped histogram is the mean and median, due to the approximately equal distribution about the highest frequency class

3. Part A

The 15 numbers between 1 and 20 generated by a random generator are;

1, 8, 8, 15, 4, 18, 11, 6, 17, 1, 18, 15, 10, 12, 11

The measure of center is the mean = (1+8+8+15+4+18+11+6+17+1+18+15+10+12+11)/15 = 155/15 = 31/3

The measure of spread used is the variance, s² = 32.38

$Where, \,s^2 =\dfrac{\sum \left (x_i-\bar x \right )^{2} }{n - 1}$

${\sum \left (x_i-\bar x \right )^{2} }$ = 453.333

n = 15

s² = 453. $\overline 3$ /(15 - 1) = 32.38

Part B

The measure of central tendency are the mean and the median because the size of the data (n = 15), is 75% of the population (N = 20) nd therefore the data is approximately normal and can be represented by the mean and the standard deviation

Given:

The equation is,

$2\log _3x-\log _3(x-2)=2$

Explanation:

Simplify the equation by using logarthimic property.

$\begin{gathered} 2\log _3x-\log _3(x-2)=2 \\ \log _3x^2-\log _3(x-2)=2_{}\text{ \lbrack{}log(a)-log(b) = log(a/b)\rbrack} \\ \log _3\lbrack\frac{x^2}{x-2}\rbrack=2 \end{gathered}$

Simplify further.

$\begin{gathered} \log _3\lbrack\frac{x^2}{x-2}\rbrack=2 \\ \frac{x^2}{x-2}=3^2 \\ x^2=9(x-2) \\ x^2-9x+18=0 \end{gathered}$

Solve the quadratic equation for x.

$\begin{gathered} x^2-6x-3x+18=0 \\ x(x-6)-3(x-6)=0 \\ (x-6)(x-3)=0 \end{gathered}$

From the above equation (x - 6) = 0 or (x - 3) = 0.

For (x - 6) = 0,

$\begin{gathered} x-6=0 \\ x=6 \end{gathered}$

For (x - 3) = 0,

$\begin{gathered} x-3=0 \\ x=3 \end{gathered}$

The values of x from solving the equations are x = 3 and x = 6.

Substitute the values of x in the equation to check answers are valid or not.

For x = 3,

$\begin{gathered} 2\log _3(3^{})-\log _3(3-2)=2 \\ 2\log _33-\log _31=2 \\ 2\cdot1-0=2 \\ 2=2 \end{gathered}$

Equation satisfy for x = 3. So x = 3 is valid value of x.

For x = 6,

$\begin{gathered} 2\log _36-\log _3(6-2)=2 \\ 2\log _36-\log _34=2 \\ \log _3(6^2)-\log _34=2 \\ \log _3(\frac{36}{4})=2 \\ \log _39=2 \\ \log _3(3^2)=2 \\ 2\log _33=2 \\ 2=2 \end{gathered}$

Equation satifies for x = 6.

Thus values of x for equation are x = 3 and x = 6.

Five times the sum of 3 and twice some numbers is 70. What is the number?

Anna11 [10]

Let x represent some number
Sum of 3 and twice some number = 3 +2x
Five times the sum of 3 and twice some number: 5(3+2x)

5(3+2x)=70
15+10x=70
Subtract 15 from both sides to have 10x by itself
10x=55
Divide 10 on both sides to get x by itself
x=55/10
x=5.5

Hope this helped

Plsssss help me im begging u

choli [55]

Answer:

180

Step-by-step explanation:

8x15 is 120. The formula to find the area of a right triangle is base x height divided by two.
120/2 is 60
60x3 is 180.
