Answer:

-3 and -4

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 1st number

y = 2nd number

set up system of equations:

2x + 3y = -18

3x + 2y = -17

elimination method:  multiply 1st equation by -2 and second by 3

 -4x - 6y = 36

+

<u>  9x + 6y = -51</u>

  5x = -15

   x = -3

find y:  2(-3) + 3y = -18

           -6 + 3y = -18

            3y = -12

             y = -4

Determine the domain of the function f(x)=1/3x^2+10x+8
cricket20 [7]
The function is
f(x) = (1/3)x² + 10x + 8

Write the function in standard form for a parabola.
f(x) = (1/3)[x² + 30x] + 8
      = (1/3)[ (x+15)²- 225] + 8
      = (1/3)(x+15)² -75 + 8
f(x) = (1/3)(x+15)² - 67

This is a parabola with vertex at (-15, -67).
The axis of symmetry is x = -15
The curve opens upward because the coefficient of x² is positive.
As x -> - ∞, f -> +∞.
As x -> +∞, f -> +∞
The domain is all real values of x (see the graph below).

Answer: The domain is (-∞, ∞)

What is the constant of proportionality in the table below?
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:  \dfrac{2}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

The constant of proportionality 'k' between two variables ( one independent and one dependent ) is given by :-

k=\dfrac{\text{Value of dependent variable}}{\text{Value of independent variable}}

In the given table, independent variable = Days

Dependent variable = Total Miles

From first row,  Days = 3

Total Miles = 1\dfrac{1}{5}=\dfrac{6}{5}

Then, the constant of proportionality in the table

k=\dfrac{\dfrac{6}{5}}{3}=\dfrac{6}{5\times3}=\dfrac{2}{5}

Hence, the constant of proportionality in the table is \dfrac{2}{5} .

Your friend, Susannah, manages a sandwich shop. She collects data on the number of turkey sandwiches sold per day for a week. Ex
ExtremeBDS [4]

Susannah's data are illustration of measure of central tendencies

<u>(a) The mean</u>

To calculate the mean, she needs to divide the total number of turkey sandwiches sold, by the number of days.

The total is:

\mathbf{Total = 73 +88+85+88+99+134+129}

\mathbf{Total = 696}

The number of days is:

\mathbf{Day = 7}

So, the mean is:

\mathbf{Mean =\frac{Total}{Days}}

\mathbf{Mean =\frac{696}{7}}

\mathbf{Mean =99.4}

Hence, the mean number of turkey sandwiches sold is 99.4

<u>(b) The median</u>

To calculate the median, she needs to arrange the data in ascending or descending order, then select the middle item.

In ascending order, we have: 73, 85, 88, 88, 99, 129, 134

The middle item is 88

So:

\mathbf{Median = 88}

Hence, the median number of turkey sandwiches sold is 88

<u>(c) The mode</u>

This is the data that occurs most.

From the dataset, 88 appears twice (more than others).

So:

\mathbf{Mode = 88}

Hence, the mode number of turkey sandwiches sold is 88

<u>(d) The range</u>

This is the difference between the highest and least data

From the dataset,

The highest is 134, and the least is 73

So:

\mathbf{Range =134 - 73}

\mathbf{Range =61}

Hence, the range of turkey sandwiches sold is 61

The measure that would be most helpful is the median, because it is not affected by outliers.
