Mathematics
1 answer:
Serggg [28]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent a first place finish, y represent a second place finish and z represent a third place finish.

Since there is a total of 20 individual events, hence:

x + y + z = 20          (1)

A first place finish is 5 point, a second place finish is 3 point and third place finish is 1 point. Therefore:

5x + 3y + z = 68      (2)

The second  place finishers is as much as first and third-place  finishers combined. Hence:

y = x + z                   (3)

Solving equation 1, 2 and 3 simultaneously gives:

x = 7,  y = 10 and z = 3

This means the number of first place finishes was 7, second place finishes was 10 and third place finishes was 3

  2. $12,765
  3. $31,524
  4. the cost increase each year

Step-by-step explanation:

1. For this sort of question a graphing calculator or spreadsheet are suitable tools. The attached shows the linear regression line to have the equation ...

... y = 0.937976x + 12.765

where x is years since 2000, and y is average tuition cost in thousands.

2. The y-intercept is the year-2000 tuition: $12,765.

3. Evaluating the formula for x=20 gives y ≈ 31.524, so the year-2020 tuition is expected to be $31,524.

4. The slope is the rate of change of tuition with respect to number of years. It is the average increase per year (in thousands). It amounts to about $938 per year.

PLEASE ANSWER QUICK!!
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

A)  B is greater

B) when C = 21, A = 5 and B = 15

C) A must be 0, 5, or 12 for C to be greater than B

Step-by-step explanation:

A)  when a = -3, c = -20 and b = 4(-3)-5 so B = -17

B) when c = 21, a = 5 and b = 4(5)-5 so B = 15

C) C is greater than B when a = 0, 5, and 12

when a = 0, b = 4(0)-5 or -5

when a = 5, b = 4(5)-5 or 15

when a = 12, b = 4(12)-5 or 43
