Answer:

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the slope formula when given two points

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= ( 5-2)/(1 - -3)

= (5-2)/(1+3)

= 3/4

Solve for x in the equation.

labwork [276]

Answer:

The solution is $\displaystyle x=1\pm \sqrt{47}$ . Fourth option

Explanation:

Solve for x:

$2x^2+3x-7=x^2+5x+39$

Move all the terms from the right to the left side of the equation, a zero in the right side:

$2x^2+3x-7-x^2-5x-39=0$

Join all like terms:

$x^2-2x-46=0$

The general form of the quadratic equation is:

$ax^2+bx+c=0$

Solve the quadratic equation by using the formula:

$\displaystyle x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

In our equation: a=1, b=-2, c=-46

Substituting into the formula:

$\displaystyle x=\frac{-(-2)\pm \sqrt{(-2)^2-4(1)(-46)}}{2(1)}$

$\displaystyle x=\frac{2\pm \sqrt{4+184}}{2}$

$\displaystyle x=\frac{2\pm \sqrt{188}}{2}$

Since 188=4*47

$\displaystyle x=\frac{2\pm \sqrt{4*47}}{2}$

Take the square root of 4:

$\displaystyle x=\frac{2\pm 2\sqrt{47}}{2}$

Divide by 2:

$\displaystyle x=1\pm \sqrt{47}$

Listed below are prices in dollars for one night at different hotels in a certain region. Find the range, variance, and standar

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Range = 115$

Standard Deviation = 43.76$

Variance = 1915.142$

Option A) The measures of variation are not very useful because when searching for a room, low prices, location, and good accommodations are more important than the amount of variation in the area.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the data for prices in dollars for one night at different hotels in a certain region.

234, 160, 119, 131, 218, 207, 146, 141

Range:

Sorted data: 119, 131, 141, 146, 160, 207, 218, 234

$\text{Range} = 234-119 = 115\$$

Standard Deviation:

$\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{\sum (x_i -\bar{x})^2}{n-1}}$

where $x_i$ are data points, $\bar{x}$ is the mean and n is the number of observations.

$Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}$

$Mean =\displaystyle\frac{1356}{8} = 169.5$

Sum of squares of differences = 4160.25 + 90.25 + 2550.25 + 1482.25 + 2352.25 + 1406.25 + 552.25 + 812.25 = 13406

$\sigma = \sqrt{\dfrac{13406}{7}} = 43.76\$$

Variance =

$\sigma^2 = 1915.142\$$

Measure of variance for someone searching for room:

Option A) The measures of variation are not very useful because when searching for a room, low prices, location, and good accommodations are more important than the amount of variation in the area.
