An employer uses the linear regression equation y = 0.18 x + 320.22 to predict the weekly salary, y, of an employee who sells x

dollars worth of merchandise. Last week, Joaquin sold $1500 worth of merchandise. The same week, Alex earned $650. Using the regression equation, which is an accurate comparison? Alex sold merchandise worth about $60 more than what Joaquin sold. Joaquin sold merchandise worth about $60 more than what Joaquin sold. Alex earned about $60 more than Joaquin did. Joaquin earned about $60 more than Alex did.

Answer:

Option C is correct.

Alex earned about $60 more than Joaquin did.

Step-by-step explanation:

The linear regression equation

y = 0.18 x + 320.22

is used to predict the weekly salary, y, of an employee who sells x dollars worth of merchandise.

Joaquin sold $1500 worth of goods. Meaning that x for that week for Joaquin is 1500.

Joaquin' s salary for that week is then given as

y = 0.18x + 320.22

y = 0.18(1500) + 320.22 = 590.22

Hence, Joaquin's salary for that week = $590.22

Alex earns $650 that week. Meaning that y for Alex in that week = 650

y = 0.18x + 320.22

650 = 0.18x + 320.22

0.18x = 650 - 320.22 = 329.78

x = (329.78/0.18) = 1832.1

Hence, Alex sold goods worth $1832.1 that week.

Joaquin sold goods worth $1500

Joaquin earned $590.22

Alex sold goods worth $1832.1

Alex earned $650

From this calculation, it is evident that 'Alex earned about $60 more than Joaquin did' is the correct option as $650 is about $60 more than $590.22

Hope this Helps!!!

What is the measure for the following ∠?<br> m∠BOA<br><br> 20<br> 40<br> 60

kaheart [24]

Hello!

First, find angle BOA on the protractor. To do this, look for point B, point O, and point A.

Now, we see some markings that mark what degree point B and point A are at. Point B is marked at 60 degrees, and Point A 40 degrees.

Now, all that's left to do, is subtract the two measurements.

60 degrees - 40 degrees = 20 degrees

Therefore, your answer is 20.

Hope this helps!

Prove the trigonometric identity

Annette [7]

Answer:

Proved See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Man this one is a world of its own :D Just a quick question are you a fellow Add Math student in O levels i remember this question from back in the day :D Anyhow Lets get started

For this question we need to know the following identities:

$1+tan^{2}x=sec^2x\\\\1+cot^2x=cosec^2x\\\\sin^2x+cos^2x=1$

Lets solve the bottom most part first:

$1-\frac{1}{1-sec^2x} \\\\$

Take LCM

$1-\frac{1}{1-sec^2x} \\\\\frac{1-sec^2x-1}{1-sec^2x} \\\\\frac{-sec^2x}{1-sec^2x} \\\\\frac{-(1+tan^2x)}{-tan^2x}$

now break the LCM

$\frac{-1}{-tan^2x}+\frac{-tan^2x}{-tan^2x}\\\\\frac{1}{tan^2x}+1\\\\cot^2x+1$

because 1/tan = cot x

and furthermore,

$cot^2x+1\\cosec^2x$

now we solve the above part and replace the bottom most part that we solved with $cosec^2x$

$\frac{1}{1-\frac{1}{cosec^2x} } \\\\\frac{1}{1-sin^2x} \\\\\frac{1}{cos^2x}\\\\sec^2x$

Hence proved! :D

Use the given information to write an equation and solve the problem.<br> (28-31 in the picture)

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

28. 120 degrees

29. 30 degrees

30. 56 degrees & 124 degrees

31. 72 degrees, 108 degrees, and 18 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

We assign variable x for the answer we are looking for (28-29).

28.

Supplement means x + y = 180 degrees. We also know x = 2y. Substitution gives us 3y = 180 degrees, so y = 60 degrees and x = 120 degrees.

29.

Complement means x + y = 90 degrees. We are given 2x = y. Substitution brings us 3x = 90 degrees, x = 30 degrees.

30.

Supplement means x + y = 180 degrees. We are told that y = 2x + 12, so we substitute. This gives 3x + 12 = 180 degrees, x = 56 degrees. Substituting that back into the equation for y, we get 124 degrees.

31.

Supplement means x + y = 180 degrees. Complement means x + z = 90 degrees. Using our given info, we know y = 6z. We can substitute that in to get x + 6z = 180. Subtracting our second and third equations, we get 5z = 90, z = 18 degrees. Therefore, x = 72 degrees, y = 108 degrees.

Allison wants to buy a game that costs $120. She has saved $30 for the game. She earns $5 per hour babysitting.

sergey [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Cost of game = $120</em>

<em>Current savings = $30</em>

<em>Rate for babysitting (per hour) = $5/hour</em>

<em></em>

<em>So, required equation is :-</em>

<em>120 = 5h + 30</em>

<em>5h = 90</em>

<em>h = 18</em>

<em></em>

<em>She must make $90 by babysitting for 18 more hours.</em>
