Answer:A rational number is such that when you multiply it by 5/2 and add 2/3 to the product you get -7/12 . What is the number.
Step-by-step explanation:Let p/q (q ≠ 0) denote the rational number. Multiplying it by 5/2 gives (p/q)(5/2). Add 2/3 to the product and we get (p/q)(5/2) + 2/3 . The result is given to be -7/12.
∴ (p/q)(5/2) + 2/3 = -7/12 …………………………..……………………………………..(1)
Transposing 2/3 to right-hand-side and changing the sign to negative,
(p/q)(5/2) = -2/3 -7/12 = -(2/3 + 7/12) =- (2 x 4 + 7)/12 (Taking L.C.M.)
Or, (p/q)(5/2) = -(8+7)/12 = - 15/12
Multiplying both sides by 2/5,
(p/q)(5/2) x (2/5) = -15/12 . 2/5 = -(3x5)/(3x4) . 2/5 =- 5/4 .2/5
Since 2/5 is the multiplicative inverse of 5/2, 5/2 x 2/5 = 1 and we obtain
(p/q).1 = -1/4 . 2/1 = -1/2
⇒ p/q = -1/2 which is a negative rational number in which p = 1 and q = 2 ≠ 0 .
∴ the rational number = -1/2

The given matrix equation is,
![1.5\left[\begin{array}{cc}x&6\\8&4\end{array}\right] +y\left[\begin{array}{cc}1&4\\3&2\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{cc}z&z\\6z&2\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%201.5%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7Dx%266%5C%5C8%264%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%2By%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D1%264%5C%5C3%262%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7Dz%26z%5C%5C6z%262%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%20)

Multiplying the matrices with the scalars, the given equation becomes,
![\left[\begin{array}{cc}1.5x&9\\12&6\end{array}\right] +\left[\begin{array}{cc}y&4y\\3y&2y\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{cc}z&z\\6z&2\end{array}\right] \\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D1.5x%269%5C%5C12%266%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%2B%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7Dy%264y%5C%5C3y%262y%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7Dz%26z%5C%5C6z%262%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%20%5C%5C%20%20)
Adding the matrices,
![\left[\begin{array}{cc}1.5x+y&9+4y\\12+3y&6+2y\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{cc}z&z\\6z&2\end{array}\right] \\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D1.5x%2By%269%2B4y%5C%5C12%2B3y%266%2B2y%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%20%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7Dz%26z%5C%5C6z%262%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%20%5C%5C%20)

Answer:
- y = 0.937976x +12.765
- $12,765
- $31,524
- the cost increase each year
Step-by-step explanation:
1. For this sort of question a graphing calculator or spreadsheet are suitable tools. The attached shows the linear regression line to have the equation ...
... y = 0.937976x + 12.765
where x is years since 2000, and y is average tuition cost in thousands.
2. The y-intercept is the year-2000 tuition: $12,765.
3. Evaluating the formula for x=20 gives y ≈ 31.524, so the year-2020 tuition is expected to be $31,524.
4. The slope is the rate of change of tuition with respect to number of years. It is the average increase per year (in thousands). It amounts to about $938 per year.

Answer:
<h2>a = - 4.8</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the value of a when b=6 we must first find the relationship between them.
The statement
a is inversely proportional to b is written as
where k is the constant of proportionality
When a = 7.2 , b = -4
So we have
k = 7.2 × - 4
k = - 28.8
So the formula for the variation is
When
b = 6
That's
We have the final answer as
<h3>a = - 4.8</h3>
