Answer:

x^2 + 5x - 84 = 0

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

let the sister's age = y

sister's age (y)  = 5 + x  equation 1

xy = 84  equation 2

Make y the subject of the formula in equation 2

y = 84/x

equate equation 1 and 2

84/x = 5 + x  equation 3

Multiply equation 3 by x

84 = 5x + x^2

x^2 + 5x - 84 = 0

tjis can be solved using quadratic equation

x^2 -7x + 12x -84 = 0

x(x + 12) -7(x + 12)

x = 7 or - 12

age cant be negative so his age is 7

If f(x)=2x^3+5√(x-2) complete the following statement, f(6)=
solong [7]

Answer: 442

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=2x^3+5\sqrt{(x-2)}

f(6)

Simply replace all the x's in the equation for 6

f(6)=2(6)^3+5\sqrt{(6-2)}\\ f(6)=2(216)+5\sqrt{4}\\ f(6)=432+5*2\\f(6)=432+10\\f(6)=442

Assume you have noted the following prices for books and the number of pages that each book contains. Book Pages (x) Price (y) A
belka [17]

Answer:

a) y=0.00991 x +1.042  

b) r^2 = 0.7503^2 = 0.563

c) r=\frac{7(30095)-(4210)(49)}{\sqrt{[7(2595100) -(4210)^2][7(354) -(49)^2]}}=0.7503  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given

x: 500, 700, 750, 590 , 540, 650, 480

y: 7.00, 7.50 , 9.00, 6.5, 7.50 , 7.0, 4.50

Part a

We want to create a linear model like this :

y = mx +b

Wehre

m=\frac{S_{xy}}{S_{xx}}  

And:  

S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}  

S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}  

With these we can find the sums:  

S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}=2595100-\frac{4210^2}{7}=63085.714  

S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i){n}}=30095-\frac{4210*49}{7}=625  

And the slope would be:  

m=\frac{625}{63085.714}=0.00991  

Nowe we can find the means for x and y like this:  

\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}=\frac{4210}{7}=601.429  

\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}=\frac{49}{7}=7  

And we can find the intercept using this:  

b=\bar y -m \bar x=7-(0.00991*601.429)=1.042  

And the line would be:

y=0.00991 x +1.042  

Part b

The correlation coefficient is given by:

r=\frac{n(\sum xy)-(\sum x)(\sum y)}{\sqrt{[n\sum x^2 -(\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2 -(\sum y)^2]}}  

For our case we have this:

n=7 \sum x = 4210, \sum y = 49, \sum xy = 30095, \sum x^2 =2595100, \sum y^2 =354  

r=\frac{7(30095)-(4210)(49)}{\sqrt{[7(2595100) -(4210)^2][7(354) -(49)^2]}}=0.7503  

The determination coefficient is given by:

r^2 = 0.7503^2 = 0.563

Part c

r=\frac{7(30095)-(4210)(49)}{\sqrt{[7(2595100) -(4210)^2][7(354) -(49)^2]}}=0.7503

Let x be the middle integer of three consecutive integers. What is the sum of these three integers
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

because x is the middle integer of three consecutive integers

=> The remaining 2 numbers respectively are x - 1 and x + 1

=> the sum of these three integers is

x - 1 + x + x + 1 = 3x
