Answer:

a = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that a point uses (x , y).

y = 1

x = a

Plug in 1 for y in the equation, and a for x:

y = 3x - 5

1 = 3a - 5

Isolate the variable, a. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First add 5 to both sides:

1 (+5) = 3a - 5 (+5)

1 + 5 = 3a

6 = 3a

Next, divide 3 from both sides:

(6)/3 = (3a)/3

a = 6/3

a = 2

2 is your value for a.

Is there a pattern behind prime numbers?

Trava [24]

Answer:

A clear rule determines exactly what makes a prime: it's a whole number that can't be exactly divided by anything except 1 and itself. But there's no discernible pattern in the occurrence of the primes. ... That's because after the number 5, there are only four possibilities — 1, 3, 7 and 9 — for prime last digits

you currently have 24 credit hours and a 2.8 gpa you need a 3.0 gpa to get into the college. if you are taking a 16 credit hours

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

$\sum_{i=1}^n w_i *X_i = 2.8*24 = 67.2$

And for this case we want a gpa of 3.0 taking in count that in this semester he/ she is going to take 16 credits so then the new mean would be given by:

$\bar X_f = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n w_i *X_i+w_f *X_f }{24+16} = 3.0$

And we can solve for $\sum_{i=1}^n w_f *X_f$ and solving we got:

$3.0 *(24+16) =\sum_{i=1}^n w_i *X_i +\sum_{i=1}^n w_f *X_f$

And from the previous result we got:

$3.0 *(24+16) =67.2 +\sum_{i=1}^n w_f *X_f$

And solving we got:

$\sum_{i=1}^n w_f *X_f =120 -67.2= 52.8$

And then we can find the mean with this formula:

$\bar X_2 = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n w_f *X_f}{16}= \frac{52.8}{16}=16=3.3$

So then we need a 3.3 on this semester in order to get a cumulate gpa of 3.0

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we know that the currently mean is 2.8 and is given by:

$\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n w_i *X_i }{24} = 2.8$

Where $w_i$ represent the number of credits and $X_i$ the grade for each subject. From this case we can find the following sum:

$\sum_{i=1}^n w_i *X_i = 2.8*24 = 67.2$

And for this case we want a gpa of 3.0 taking in count that in this semester he/ she is going to take 16 credits so then the new mean would be given by:

$\bar X_f = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n w_i *X_i+w_f *X_f }{24+16} = 3.0$

And we can solve for $\sum_{i=1}^n w_f *X_f$ and solving we got:

$3.0 *(24+16) =\sum_{i=1}^n w_i *X_i +\sum_{i=1}^n w_f *X_f$

And from the previous result we got:

$3.0 *(24+16) =67.2 +\sum_{i=1}^n w_f *X_f$

And solving we got:

$\sum_{i=1}^n w_f *X_f =120 -67.2= 52.8$

And then we can find the mean with this formula:

$\bar X_2 = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n w_f *X_f}{16}= \frac{52.8}{16}=16=3.3$

So then we need a 3.3 on this semester in order to get a cumulate gpa of 3.0
