How can you tell if a function is linear by looking at the graph or the equation

1 answer:

Every linear graph is just a straight line, so if there are any curves or unnatural shapes, than you know it is not linear. As for equations, if it can be shaped into y=mx+b where m and b are numbers, then it will be a linear equation.

Jessica, Lauren and Kimmie were paid a total of $120 for babysitting in a ratio of 2:3:5. How much less did Jessica make than Ki

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Jessica makes $36 less than Kimmie

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> amount paid to Jessica

y ----> amount paid to Lauren

z ----> amount paid to Kimmie

we know that

$x+y+z=120$ ------> equation A

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{2}{3}$

$x=\frac{2}{3}y$ -----> equation B

$\frac{y}{z}=\frac{3}{5}$

$z=\frac{5}{3}y$ -----> equation C

substitute equation B and equation C in equation A and solve for y

$\frac{2}{3}y+y+\frac{5}{3}y=120$

$\frac{10}{3}y=120$

$y=120(3)/10$

$y=36$

<em>Find the value of x</em>

$x=\frac{2}{3}(36)=24$

<em>Find the value of z</em>

$z=\frac{5}{3}(36)=60$

therefore

The amount paid to Jessica was $24

The amount paid to Lauren was $36

The amount paid to Kimmie was $60

To find out how much less Jessica did than Kimmie, subtract the amount paid to Jessica from the amount paid to Kimmie.

$\$60-\$24=\$36$

therefore

Jessica makes $36 less than Kimmie

Answer:

The degrees of freedom for this sample are 27.

The sample size to get a margin of error equal or less than 0.3656 is n=4450.

Step-by-step explanation:

The degrees of freedom for calculating the value of t are:

$df=n-1=28-1=27$

With 27 degrees of freedom and 95% confidence level, from a table we can get that the t-value is t=2.052.

The sample size to get a margin of error equal or less than 0.3656 can be calculated as:

$MOE=t\cdot s/\sqrt{n}\\\\n=\left(\dfrac{t\cdot s}{MOE}\right)^2=\left(\dfrac{2.052\cdot 11.8841}{0.3656}\right)^2=66.7^2\\\\\\n=4449.13\approx4450$
