Answer:

A. x < -3 or x > -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start with the equation -4x + 60 < 72.

-4x + 60 < 72

First using the order of operations, subtract 60 from both sides.

-4x + 60 - 60 < 72 - 60

- 4x < 12

Next we want to divide -4 from both sides to isolate the variable.

-4x/-4 < 12/-4

x > -3

When you divide a negative number, always make sure the change the sign.

Solve the next equation, 14x + 11 < -31, the same way we solved the last.

14x + 11 < -31

Subtract 11 from both sides.

14x + 11 - 11 < -31 -11

14x < -42

Divide 14 from both sides.

14x/14 < -42/14

x < -3

The equations have different signs.

A. x < -3 or x > -3

Find the equation in standard form of the line with slope

Serhud [2]

$\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1\\
% (a,b)
&({{ 5}}\quad ,&{{ 7}})
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies \cfrac{7}{2}
\\\\\\
% point-slope intercept
\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y-{{ y_1}}={{ m}}(x-{{ x_1}})}\implies y-7=\cfrac{7}{2}(x-5)\implies y-7=\cfrac{7}{2}x-\cfrac{35}{2}
\\\\\\
y=\cfrac{7}{2}x-\cfrac{35}{2}+7\implies \stackrel{standard~form}{-\cfrac{7}{2}x+y=-\cfrac{21}{2}}$

Which of the following integrals represents the area of the region bounded in the first quadrant by x = pi/ 4 and the functions

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

option B is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that two functions

f(x)= $sec^2x$ and g(x)=sin x and a line x = $\frac{\pi}{4}$

We have to find the area of the region bounded in the first quadrant by x= ${\pi}{4}$ and two functions

We know that the area bounded by two functions

=Integration of region(Upper curve- lower curve)

Therefore, function of sec square x is upper curve and function of sin x is lower function

Therefore, limit of x changing from 0 to $\frac{\pi}{4}$

Hence, the area of the region bounded in the first quadrant and two functions is given by

$=\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} (sec^2x-sinx) dx$

Therefore, option B is true.

In order to estimate the difference between the average hourly wages of employees of two branches of a department store, two ind

liberstina [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

You have two populations of interest and want to compare them. If you define the study variables as:

X₁: average hourly wages of an employee of the Downtown store.

n₁= 25

X[bar]₁= $9

S₁= $2

X₂: average hourly wages of an employee of the North Mall store.

n₂= 20

X[bar]₂= $8

S₂= $1

Both samples taken are independent, assuming that both populations are normal and that their population variances are equal I'll use the Student's-t statistic with a pooled sample variance to calculate the Confidence interval:

95% CI for μ₁ - μ₂

(X[bar]₁-X[bar]₂) ± $t_{n_1+n_2-2; 1-\alpha /2} * (Sa*\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1} +\frac{1}{n_2} } )$
