Answer:

b. non-directional

Step-by-step explanation:

A directional hypothesis can be described as a hypothesis which predicts the direction of impact, either positive or negative, of one variable, especially independent variable, on the other variable which is known as an independent variable. For example, the hypothesis "age <u>reduces</u> memory performance" is a directional hypothesis. The reason is that "reduces" show the direction that age has a negative effect on memory performance.

On the other hand, non-directional hypothesis can be described as a hypothesis that does not predict the direction of impact but only states the relationship between two variables. For example, the research hypothesis is in the question that "age is <u>related</u> to memory performance" is non-directional hypothesis. This because the word "related" in the hypothesis only indicate that there is a relationship between the two variables, not the direction of effect of one variable on the other.

What is the value of X
kozerog [31]

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle is isosceles ( 2 congruent sides )

Hence the base angles are congruent, thus

3x = 60 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 20

Find x, y and ab and how to check if the answer is right ​
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

  x = 2, y = -2, AB = 142

Step-by-step explanation:

The fact that X is the midpoint gives you two relations:

  AX = XB

  AX + XB = AB

Since you have two unknowns, this number of equations is sufficient to find their values. Substituting the given expressions in the above equations, you have ...

  • 8(3x+5) -3(y-7) -22x = 5x +y +23 -4(x-12)
  • 8(3x+5) -3(y-7) -22x + 5x +y +23 -4(x-12) = 2x -5y +128

Simplifying the first of these can make simplifying the second one easier.

  24x +40 -3y +21 -22x = 5x +y +23 -4x +48

  2x -3y +61 = x +y +71 . . . . . . we can use this simplification

  x -4y = 10 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract x+y+61

Now, we can simplify the second equation to ...

  2x -3y +61 +x +y +71 = 2x -5y +128

  3x -2y +132 = 2x -5y +128 . . . . . simplify the left side

  x +3y = -4 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add -2x+5y-132

Then the two equations we need to solve are ...

  • x -4y = 10
  • x +3y = -4

Subtracting the second from the first, we get

  -7y = 14

  y = -2

Substituting into the first of these simplified equations, we get

  x -4(-2) = 10 . . . . substitute for y

  x +8 = 10 . . . . . . .evaluate

  x = 2 . . . . . . . . . .subtract 8

So, the solution is (x, y) = (2, -2).

Now, the values of AX and XB are ...

  AX = 2x -3y +61 = 2·2 -3(-2) +61 = 71

  XB = x+y+71 = 2 +(-2) +71 = 71 . . . . . . . . matches AX, a good sign

  AB = 2x -5y +128 = 2·2 -5(-2) +128 = 142 . . . . = AX+XB, another good sign

The desired values are x = 2, y = -2, AB = 142.

_____

You check the answer by filling the values into the expressions given in the problem statement and seeing if you get consistent results. Here, we used the simplified expressions, rather than the original expressions, so if we did the simplification wrong, we may have the wrong answer. It is always best to use the original equations. (A machine solver working with the original equations confirms our result, so "confidence is high.")
