On a graph, going down or left is a decrease, while going up or right is an increase.
From the origin point, going down 15.5 units would result in negative 15.5 (-15.5).
Think about if you have 4 apples. If you add 2 more, that would an increase and would be represented by a positive number, for positive rate of change. But if you then take away 3 apples, then your amount of apples would go down, it would decrease. And this decrease is represented for a negative number, for a negative rate of change.

So the answer is negative.

What is the solution of the equation? (√2x-1) + 2=x
Gwar [14]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

√(2x − 1) + 2 = x

√(2x − 1) = x − 2

2x − 1 = (x − 2)²

2x − 1 = x² − 4x + 4

0 = x² − 6x + 5

0 = (x − 1) (x − 5)

x = 1 or 5

Check for extraneous solutions.

√(2(1) − 1) + 2 = 1

√(1) + 2 = 1

3 = 1

No solution

√(2(5) − 1) + 2 = 5

√(9) + 2 = 5

5 = 5

x = 5

Describe how a statistical question yields an answer with variability. Give a example.
solniwko [45]
Statistics is not an exact science, meaning that with any answer, there will be variance. This is because the sample size used to obtain values is always smaller than the population being studied.
