Answer:

$V(x) = -\frac{340}{3}x +2220$

$V(8) = 1313.3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let x represent years and V represents the value.

So, we have:

$(x_1,v_1) = (0,2220)$

$(x_2,v_2) = (6,1540)$

Solving (a): The linear function

First, we calculate the slope (m)

$m = \frac{v_2 - v_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

This gives:

$m = \frac{1540-2220}{6-0}$

$m = \frac{-680}{6}$

$m = -\frac{340}{3}$

The linear function is calculated using:

$v - v_2 = m(x - x_2)$

Where:

$(x_2,v_2) = (6,1540)$

$m = -\frac{340}{3}$

So, we have:

$v - 1540 = -\frac{340}{3}(x - 6)$

Open bracket

$v - 1540 = -\frac{340}{3}x +\frac{340}{3}* 6$

$v - 1540 = -\frac{340}{3}x +680$

Make v the subject

$v = -\frac{340}{3}x +680+1540$

$v = -\frac{340}{3}x +2220$

So, the function is:

$V(x) = -\frac{340}{3}x +2220$

Solving (b): When x = 8

Substitute 8 for x in $V(x) = -\frac{340}{3}x +2220$

$V(8) = -\frac{340}{3}*8 +2220$

$V(8) = -\frac{340*8}{3} +2220$

$V(8) = -\frac{2720}{3} +2220$

Take LCM

$V(8) = \frac{-2720+2220*3}{3}$

$V(8) = \frac{-2720+6660}{3}$

$V(8) = \frac{3940}{3}$

$V(8) = 1313.3$

<em>Hence, its value after 8 years is 1313.3</em>

the ratio of boys to girls in janices classroom is 3:5, and there are a total of 32 students in the class, help plss

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

12 boys
20 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of students (32) corresponds to the total number of ratio units (3+5 = 8), so each ratio unit represents 32/8 = 4 students.

The 3 ratio units representing boys will stand for 3×4 = 12 boys.

The 5 ratio units representing girls will stand for 5×4 = 20 girls.

There are 12 boys and 20 girls in Janice's classroom.

<em>Additional comment</em>

I find the above solution to be the easiest.

You can also write a system of equations. Let b and g represent the numbers of boys and girls, respectively.

b/g = 3/5

b +g = 32

Multiplying the first equation by g gives an expression for b that can be substituted into the second equation:

b = (3/5)g

(3/5)g +g = 32

8/5g = 32 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms

g = (5/8)(32) = 5·4 = 20 . . . . . . multiply by 5/8

b = (3/5)(20) = 3·4 = 12 . . . . . . . find b using the value of g

Karen wants to advertise how many chocolate chips are in each Big Chip cookie at her bakery. She randomly selects a sample of 60

Umnica [9.8K]

Sample mean : \overline{x}=10.6x=10.6

Standard deviation : s=1.7s=1.7

Significance level : \alpha:1-0.95=0.05α:1−0.95=0.05

Critical value : z_{\alpha/2}=1.96

Hence the 95% confidence interval for the number of chocolate chips per cookie for big chip cookies= (10.1989,\ 11.0011)(10.1989, 11.0011)
