Answer:
1) the signs of the numbers is not in standard form
2) always make sure that the signs of the two equations is standarised and then solve

The difference in gallons per day used is 3.6.
The formula to calculate a z-score is:

,
where X is the value used to calculate the score, μ is the mean and σ is the standard deviation. We have the z-scores so we must work backward:

For both equations, we will cancel the 1.2 by multiplying both sides:

Now we will cancel 2.2 from both equations by adding it to both sides:
3.6+2.2=X-2.2+2.2 and 0+2.2=X-2.2+2.2
5.8=X and 2.2=X
The difference in gas used per day would be given by
5.8-2.2 = 3.6.
Answer:
- Part A: The price of fuel A is decreasing by 12% per month.
- Part B: Fuel A recorded a greater percentage change in price over the previous month.
Explanation:
<u>Part A:</u>
The function
calculates the price of fuel A each month by multiplying the price of the month before by 0.88.
Month price, f(x)
1 2.27 (0.88) = 1.9976 ≈ 2.00
2 2.27(0.88)² = 1.59808 ≈ 1.60
3 2.27(0.88)³ = 1.46063 ≈ 1.46
Then, the price of fuel A is decreasing.
The percentage per month is (1 - 0.88) × 100 = 12%, i.e. the price decreasing by 12% per month.
<u>Part B.</u>
<u>Table:</u>
m price, g(m)
1 3.44
2 3.30
3 3.17
4 3.04
To find if the function decreases with a constant ration divide each pair con consecutive prices:
- ratio = 3.30 / 3. 44 = 0.959 ≈ 0.96
- ratio = 3.17 / 3.30 = 0.960 ≈ 0.96
- ratio = 3.04 / 3.17 = 0.959 ≈ 0.96
Thus, the price of fuel B is decreasing by (1 - 0.96) × 100 =4%.
Hence, the fuel A recorded a greater percentage change in price over the previous month.
x = –6
Solution:
Given expression is
.
Step 1: Isolate the radical by subtracting 5 from both sides of the equation.
![\Rightarrow\sqrt[3]{x-2}+5-5=3-5](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CRightarrow%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx-2%7D%2B5-5%3D3-5)
![\Rightarrow\sqrt[3]{x-2}=-2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CRightarrow%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx-2%7D%3D-2)
Step 2: Cube both sides of the equation to remove the cube root.
![\Rightarrow(\sqrt[3]{x-2})^3=(-2)^3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CRightarrow%28%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx-2%7D%29%5E3%3D%28-2%29%5E3)
Cube and cube root get canceled in left side of the equation.

Step 3: To solve for x.
Add 2 on both sides of the equation.


Hence the solution is x = –6.
