$\frac{k-m}{m} = \frac{n-k}{k} 
\\
\\k^2-mk=mn-mk
\\k^2=mn
\\k= \sqrt{mn} 
\\$

$7^2=4n
\\
\\n= \frac{49}{4}$

Solve the equation for x by graphing -2x + 3 = -3(-x) - 2

adoni [48]

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a couple of ways to solve this. One is to graph the left side of the equation, graph the right side of the equation, and look for the point where those graphs intersect. It is at x = 1. The first attached graph shows this solution.

Another method for solving such an equation is to subtract one side from the other and look for the value of x that makes the resulting expression zero.

(-2x +3) -(-3(-x) -2) = 0

A graphing calculator doesn't need to have this simplified. If it is simplified, it becomes ...

-5x +5 = 0

So, the graphed line is y = -5x+5. Its x-intercept is x=1, the solution of the original equation. The graph of this is shown in the second attachment.

Smoothing a time series of observations A. is a form of statistical cheating. B. allows statisticians to use less data than woul

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

D. is used to reveal an underlying pattern in the data.

Step-by-step explanation:

Smoothing a time series is achieved when a computer uses some pre-programmed calculation methods to remove noise from large volumes of data. Smoothing helps a user detect patterns in a set of data, thus making it possible to make future predictions. For example, smoothing can be used in the prediction of the rise and fall of stock prices. This helps the traders to have an idea of what to expect in the cost of trading.

Although smoothing reveals the patterns in a set of data, it provides no explanation as to why it is so. It is left to the researcher to draw conclusions as to the reasons for the patterns.

Suppose that y varies directly with x and y=12 when x=-2. what is when x=-6?

dlinn [17]

Y=4

How?
When they say directly you should multiply the x and y together. You would get -24, now using that number divide -24 by the new x(-6) you would get 4.

Dylan has a bank that sorts coins as they are dropped into it. A panel on the front displays the total number of coins inside as

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

1). System of equations- D + Q = 90 and D + 2.5Q = 175.50

2). There are 33 dimes and 57 quarters in the bank.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dylan has a bank that sorts coins as they are dropped in it.

A panel shows the total number of coins inside as well as the total value of these coins.

Let the number of dimes in the bank = D

and the number of quarters in the bank = Q

If the panel shows total number of coins = 90

Then the equation will be

D + Q = 90 -------(1)

And the panel displays the amount of the coins = $17.55

Then equation will be

0.10D + 0.25Q = 17.55 [1 Dime = $0.10 and 1 quarter = $0.25]

D + 2.5Q = 175.50 ------------(2)

Now we subtract equation (1) form equation (2)

D + 2.5Q - (D + Q) = 175.50 - 90

D + 2.5Q - D - Q = 85.5

1.5Q = 85.5

Q = $\frac{85.5}{1.5}$

= 57

By putting Q = 57 in the equation (1)

D + 57 = 90

D = 90 - 57 = 33

Therefore, there are 33 dimes and 57 quarters in the bank.
