Answer:

15 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic regression model:

y = 8x² - 40x+6 ; where

y = Number of people attending graduate school ;

x = number of years

The value of x when y = 1206

The equation becomes :

1206 = 8x² - 40x+6

1206 - 6 = 8x² - 40x

1200 = 8x² - 40x

Divide through by 8

150 = x² - 5x

x² - 5x - 150 = 0

x² - 15x + 10x - 150 = 0

x(x - 15) + 10(x - 15)

x - 15 = 0 or x + 10 = 0

x = 15 or x = - 10

Number of years can't be negative,

Hence, x = 15 years

Answer:

. We assume, that the number 260 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.

2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.

3. If 260 is 100%, so we can write it down as 260=100%.

4. We know, that x is 6.75% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.75%.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 260=100%

2) x=6.75%

where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:

260/x=100%/6.75%

6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 6.75% of 260

260/x=100/6.75

(260/x)*x=(100/6.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

260=14.814814814815*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.814814814815) to get x

260/14.814814814815=x

17.55=x

x=17.55

now we have:

6.75% of 260=17.55

Which are the solutions of x² = 19x + 12​
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

\{x=\frac{19-\sqrt{409} }{2}\ , \  x=\frac{19+\sqrt{409} }{2}\}

Step-by-step explanation:

x² = 19x + 12

⇔ x² - 19x - 12 = 0

Calculating the discriminant :

b² - 4ac = (-19)² - 4×1×(-12) = 409

The discriminant is positive ,then the equation has two solutions.

x=\frac{19-\sqrt{409} }{2} \ \ or\ \ x=\frac{19+\sqrt{409} }{2}

dimaraw [331]
Xy is the number

A) x + y = 7
B) 10y + x = 10x + y + 9
collecting terms of equation B
B) -9x + 9y = 9
multiplying A) by 9
A) 9x + 9y = 63  then adding it to equation B)
B) -9x + 9y = 9
18y = 72
y = 4
x = 3

The number is 34
