1. You already did it.
2. Table
3. t (years since 1990)
4. n (# of cigarettes sold)
5. (t, n)
6. You can see the distribution of the data pretty neatly. There are also many more advantages including it's easier to calculate standard deviation, easier to see the mean, mode and median, and it's also much easier to just tell the extrema of the dataset by just looking at the scattergram.
Since both are equivalent to y, the equations must be equivalent.
x^2-x-3= -3x+5
x^2+2x-8=0
(x+4)(x-2)=0
x=-4, x=2
Plug the values of x in to either equation
y=-3(-4)+5
y= 12+5
y=17
y= -3(2)+5
y=-6+5
y=-1
Final answer: (-4,17) and (2,-1)
<span>Simplifying
7p + 2 = 5p + 8
Reorder the terms:
2 + 7p = 5p + 8
Reorder the terms:
2 + 7p = 8 + 5p
Solving
2 + 7p = 8 + 5p
Solving for variable 'p'.
Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-5p' to each side of the equation.
2 + 7p + -5p = 8 + 5p + -5p</span>
Linear function: d = -4m+50 (that's a negative 4 btw)
Slope: -4
y-intercept: 50
I'm truly sorry but I forgot how to do the last one :(
65%...
26 divided by 40 = 0.65 x 100 = 65%
hope this helps!
