Let's form the difference of the two expressions and see what we can learn.

(2y -x) -(2x -y) = 2y -x -2x +y = 3y -3x = 3(y -x)

Since y > x, this is positive, so 2y -x is greater than 2x -y.

Answer:

  Positive nonlinear association

Step-by-step explanation:

The correlation coefficient is fairly low at 0.28, so there is a positive association, but it is definitely not linear.

(It may not be fair to call it non-linear, either. There seems to be no specific value of correlation coefficient below which you declare there to be "no association.")

Solve for x<br><img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2%20%5Csin%28x%29%20%20-%201.5%20%3D%200.23" id="TexFormula1" title="2 \sin(x)
zhenek [66]

Add 1.5 to both sides:

2\sin(x) = 1.83

Divide both sides by 2:

\sin(x) = 0.915

Consider the arcsin of both sides:

\arcsin(\sin(x)) = \arcsin(0.915)

Arcsin and sin simplify, because they are inverse of each other:

x = \arcsin(0.915)

Nylah spent $16.72 on 12 ice cream bars. Her cost included $1.24 sales tax. How much did each ice cream bar cost?
il63 [147K]
If you use a calculator its easy

16.72 - 1.24 = 15.48
15.48 divided by 12 is 1.29

for sales tax 1.24 divided by 12 is .10

so for each one She spent $1.39
