Answer:

x= 62

y= 54

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

let the numbers be x and y and the larger be x the smaller be y

The difference between two numbers is 8

x-y= 8-----------1

If the larger is subtracted from three times the smaller, the difference is 100

3y-x=100------------2

from eqn 1, x= 8+y

put this in eqn 2

3y-(8+y)=100

3y-8-y=100

collect liker terms

3y-y-8=100

2y=108

y= 54

put y= 54 in eqn 1

x-y=8

x-54= 8

x= 8+54

x=62

A line passes through the point (-4,-5) and had a slope of 5/2. Write an equation in slope-intercept form

daser333 [38]

Step-by-step explanation:

as we have a point and the slope, we can start with the point-slope form and then transform.

the point-slope form is

y - y1 = a(x - x1)

(x1, y1) being a point on the line, a being the slope.

the slope-interceot form is

y = ax + b

a being the slope again, b being the y-intercept (the y value for x = 0).

so, we have

y - -5 = 5/2 × (x - -4)

y + 5 = 5/2 × (x + 4) = 5x/2 + 5×4/2 = 5x/2 + 10

y = 5x/2 + 5

y = (5/2)x + 5

and this is already the slope-intercept form. all done.

Sanjay begins to correctly graph the function f(x) = (x + 1)2 – 3. Based on the axis of symmetry and the vertex, which graph cou

Vilka [71]

Given the function f(x) = (x + 1)^2 - 3, we recognize that because of the x^2 factor we have a parabola that opens up. Its vertex is (-1, -3), which I have swiped from the given equation. The axis of symm is x= -1.

For the following hypothesis test, H0: μ ≥ 150Ha: μ < 150the test statistic a. must be positive. b. must be negative. c. can

Virty [35]

Answer:

$t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

And since we are conducting a lower unilateral lest then we expected that the value for the statistic would be negative. And the correct answer would be:

b. must be negative

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

$\bar X$ represent the sample mean

$s$ represent the standard deviation for the sample

$n$ sample size

$\mu_o =150$ represent the value that we want to test

$\alpha$ represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to determine if the mean is lower than 150, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu \geq 150$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu < 150$

We don't know the population deviation, so for this case is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:

$t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

And since we are conducting a lower unilateral lest then we expected that the value for the statistic would be negative. And the correct answer would be:

b. must be negative
