Answer:

Suppose 3 consecutive integers are X-1,X,X+1

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum = X-1+X+X+1= -78

            3X=-78

             X= -78/3

             X= -26

3 consecutive integers are, -27, -26,-25.

smallest integer is -27

The cost price of a box and a pen is Rs 80 The box is sold at 10% profit and the pen is sold at 20% loss. If the selling price o
uysha [10]

Answer:

61.84%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of the box be x. Since the price of the box and the pen is Rs 80, the pen's price can be represented as 80 - x. The box is sold at a ten percent profit, and an added ten percent is equal to 1.1. Therefore, the price the box sells at is 1.1(x). A 20% loss is the same a keeping 80% or multiplying by 0.8. This means the pen sold at 0.8(80 - x). Now, we are given the box went for Rs 28 more than the pen, so we can create an equation:

1.1x = 0.8(80 - x) + 28

We can simplify and solve:

1.1x = 64 - 0.8x + 28

1.9x = 92

x = 92/1.9

x = 920/19

The cost of the box after the increase would be 1.1(920/19) and the pen would be 0.8(80 - 920/19).

The sum of these two can be written as a percent x of 80.

80x = 0.8(80 - 920/19) + 1.1(920/19)

80x = 64 - 0.8(920/19) + 1.1(920/9)

80x = 64 - 0.3(920/19)

80x = 64 - 276/19

80x = 940/19

x = 940/1520

x = 0.6184

This is 61.84%

I HAVE ASKED THIS THREE TIMES. PLEASE ANSWER <3
Andru [333]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For Question 3, we are simply taking an input for the function, as a value of x and solving the equation. For part a, we substitute 3/14 into the first function, and solve it:

f(x) = 7(3/14) + 2

f(x) = 21/14 + 2

f(x) = 49/14

f(x) = 7/2

For part b, we take the input of -3 into the second function and solve the equation:

h(x) = 4(-3)^2

h(x) = 4(9)

h(x) = 36

For Question 4, we are simply solving this equation by isolating the x variable. First, we simplify the equation to 4-5x+15+2x = -2 and simplify this again to -3x+19 = -2. Now, we can subtract 19 from both sides of the equation to get -3x = -21. Lastly, we isolate the x variable by dividing both sides of this equation by -3, to get x = 7.

Test the claim that the mean GPA of night students is larger than 3.1 at the .10 significance level. The null and alternative hy
Alborosie

Answer:

H 0 : μ = 3.1    H 1 : μ > 3.1

And this test is defined a a right tailed test since the symbol for the alternative hypothesis H1 is >.

t = \frac{3.13-3.1}{\frac{0.03}{\sqrt{75}}}= 8.66

df = n-1=75-1 =74

The p value is:

p_v = P(t_{74} >8.66) =3.65x10^{-13}

The significance level is: 0.1 or 10%

And since the p value is very low compared to the significance level we have enough evidence to:

Reject the null hypothesis

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we want to test the claim that mean GPA of night students is larger than 3.1 at the .10 significance level. The claim needs to be on the alternative hypothesis so then we have the following system of hypothesis:

H 0 : μ = 3.1    H 1 : μ > 3.1

And this test is defined a a right tailed test since the symbol for the alternative hypothesis H1 is >.

We have the following info given:

\bar X = 3.13 , s =0.03 , n =75

The statistic to check the hypothesis is given by:

t = \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}

Replacing the info given we got:

t = \frac{3.13-3.1}{\frac{0.03}{\sqrt{75}}}= 8.66

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df = n-1=75-1 =74

The p value since is a right tailed ted is given by:

p_v = P(t_{74} >8.66) =3.65x10^{-13}

The significance level is 0.1 or 10%

And since the p value is very low compared to the significance level we have enough evidence to:

Reject the null hypothesis

What product is positive ?​
s344n2d4d5 [400]
<h3>Answer: Choice D</h3>

=======================================================

Explanation:

The long way to do this is to multiply all the fractions out by hand, or use a calculator to make shorter work of this.

The shortest way is to simply count how many negative signs each expression has.

The rule is: if there are an even number of negative signs, then the product will be positive. Otherwise, the product is negative.

For choice A, we have 3 negative signs. The result (whatever number it is) is negative. Choice B is a similar story. Choice C is also negative because we have 1 negative sign. Choices A through C have an odd number of negative signs.

Only choice D has an even number of negative signs. The two negatives multiply to cancel to a positive. The negative is like undoing the positive. So two negatives just undo each other. This is why the multiplied version of choice D will be some positive number.

Or you can think of it as opposites. If you are looking up (positive direction) and say "do the opposite" then you must look down (negative direction). Then if you say "do the opposite", then you must look back up in the positive direction.
