the sale compared with its usual price. Then solve the equation to find the usual price of the answer.

x - 17 = 28

so

28 + 17 = x

28 + 17 = $45

so

x = $45

(I'm pretty sure)

Mystery Boxes: Breakout Rooms

ollegr [7]

Answer:

$\begin{array}{ccccccccccccccc}{1} & {3} & {4} & {12} & {15} & {18}& {18 } & {26} & {29} & {30} & {32} & {57} & {58} & {61} \\ \end{array}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\begin{array}{ccccccccccccccc}{1} & {[ \ ]} & {4} & {[ \ ] } & {15} & {18}& {[ \ ] } & {[ \ ]} & {29} & {30} & {32} & {[ \ ]} & {58} & {[ \ ]} \\ \end{array}$

Required

Fill in the box

From the question, the range is:

$Range = 60$

Range is calculated as:

$Range = Highest - Least$

From the box, we have:

$Least = 1$

So:

$60 = Highest - 1$

$Highest = 60 +1$

$Highest = 61$

The box, becomes:

$\begin{array}{ccccccccccccccc}{1} & {[ \ ]} & {4} & {[ \ ] } & {15} & {18}& {[ \ ] } & {[ \ ]} & {29} & {30} & {32} & {[ \ ]} & {58} & {61} \\ \end{array}$

From the question:

$IQR = 20$ --- interquartile range

This is calculated as:

$IQR = Q_3 - Q_1$

$Q_3$ is the median of the upper half while $Q_1$ is the median of the lower half.

So, we need to split the given boxes into two equal halves (7 each)

<u>Lower half:</u>

$\begin{array}{ccccccc}{1} & {[ \ ]} & {4} & {[ \ ] } & {15} & {18}& {[ \ ] } \\ \end{array}$

<u>Upper half</u>

<u></u> $\begin{array}{ccccccc}{[ \ ]} & {29} & {30} & {32} & {[ \ ]} & {58} & {61} \\ \end{array}$ <u></u>

The quartile is calculated by calculating the median for each of the above halves is calculated as:

$Median = \frac{N + 1}{2}th$

Where N = 7

So, we have:

$Median = \frac{7 + 1}{2}th = \frac{8}{2}th = 4th$

So,

$Q_3$ = 4th item of the upper halves

$Q_1$ = 4th item of the lower halves

From the upper halves

<u></u> $\begin{array}{ccccccc}{[ \ ]} & {29} & {30} & {32} & {[ \ ]} & {58} & {61} \\ \end{array}$ <u></u>

<u></u>

We have:

$Q_3 = 32$

$Q_1$ can not be determined from the lower halves because the 4th item is missing.

So, we make use of:

$IQR = Q_3 - Q_1$

Where $Q_3 = 32$ and $IQR = 20$

So:

$20 = 32 - Q_1$

$Q_1 = 32 - 20$

$Q_1 = 12$

So, the lower half becomes:

<u>Lower half:</u>

$\begin{array}{ccccccc}{1} & {[ \ ]} & {4} & {12 } & {15} & {18}& {[ \ ] } \\ \end{array}$

From this, the updated values of the box is:

$\begin{array}{ccccccccccccccc}{1} & {[ \ ]} & {4} & {12} & {15} & {18}& {[ \ ] } & {[ \ ]} & {29} & {30} & {32} & {[ \ ]} & {58} & {61} \\ \end{array}$

From the question, the median is:

$Median = 22$ and $N = 14$

To calculate the median, we make use of:

$Median = \frac{N + 1}{2}th$

$Median = \frac{14 + 1}{2}th$

$Median = \frac{15}{2}th$

$Median = 7.5th$

This means that, the median is the average of the 7th and 8th items.

The 7th and 8th items are blanks.

However, from the question; the mode is:

$Mode = 18$

Since the values of the box are in increasing order and the average of 18 and 18 do not equal 22 (i.e. the median), then the 7th item is:

$7th = 18$

The 8th item is calculated as thus:

$Median = \frac{1}{2}(7th + 8th)$

$22= \frac{1}{2}(18 + 8th)$

Multiply through by 2

$44 = 18 + 8th$

$8th = 44 - 18$

$8th = 26$

The updated values of the box is:

$\begin{array}{ccccccccccccccc}{1} & {[ \ ]} & {4} & {12} & {15} & {18}& {18 } & {26} & {29} & {30} & {32} & {[ \ ]} & {58} & {61} \\ \end{array}$

From the question.

$Mean = 26$

Mean is calculated as:

$Mean = \frac{\sum x}{n}$

So, we have:

$26= \frac{1 + 2nd + 4 + 12 + 15 + 18 + 18 + 26 + 29 + 30 + 32 + 12th + 58 + 61}{14}$

Collect like terms

$26= \frac{ 2nd + 12th+1 + 4 + 12 + 15 + 18 + 18 + 26 + 29 + 30 + 32 + 58 + 61}{14}$

$26= \frac{ 2nd + 12th+304}{14}$

Multiply through by 14

$14 * 26= 2nd + 12th+304$

$364= 2nd + 12th+304$

This gives:

$2nd + 12th = 364 - 304$

$2nd + 12th = 60$

From the updated box,

$\begin{array}{ccccccccccccccc}{1} & {[ \ ]} & {4} & {12} & {15} & {18}& {18 } & {26} & {29} & {30} & {32} & {[ \ ]} & {58} & {61} \\ \end{array}$

We know that:

<em>The 2nd value can only be either 2 or 3</em>

<em>The 12th value can take any of the range 33 to 57</em>

Of these values, the only possible values of 2nd and 12th that give a sum of 60 are:

$2nd = 3$

$12th = 57$

i.e.

$2nd + 12th = 60$

$3 + 57 = 60$

So, the complete box is:

$\begin{array}{ccccccccccccccc}{1} & {3} & {4} & {12} & {15} & {18}& {18 } & {26} & {29} & {30} & {32} & {57} & {58} & {61} \\ \end{array}$

CALCULUS: Determine which function is a solution to the differential equation y ' − y = 0.

Montano1993 [528]

C: none of these are solutions to the given equation.

• If<em> y(x)</em> = <em>e</em>², then <em>y</em> is constant and <em>y'</em> = 0. Then <em>y'</em> - <em>y</em> = -<em>e</em>² ≠ 0.

• If <em>y(x)</em> = <em>x</em>, then <em>y'</em> = 1, but <em>y'</em> - <em>y</em> = 1 - <em>x</em> ≠ 0.

The actual solution is easy to find, since this equation is separable.

<em>y'</em> - <em>y</em> = 0

d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> = <em>y</em>

d<em>y</em>/<em>y</em> = d<em>x</em>

∫ d<em>y</em>/<em>y</em> = ∫ d<em>x</em>

ln|<em>y</em>| = <em>x</em> + <em>C</em>

<em>y</em> = exp(<em>x</em> + <em>C </em>)

<em>y</em> = <em>C</em> exp(<em>x</em>) = <em>C</em> <em>eˣ</em>

slava [35]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to select the option that best describes the commission earned;

In the question, we are told that the commission is a certain percentage variable on the amount of her sales;

Thus , mathematically to get the percentage commission, we simply need to have;

p(x) of f(x)

This simply refer to placing f(x) into p(x) which can be rewritten as ;

p o f(x)

The closest answer to this is the first option A
