Answer:

a) (2x+7)(x-4)

b) x = -7/2 and x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

a) (2x ?)(x ?)

set up the above and considered factors of 28 that, when paired with 2, would give me -1x and -28 → (1·28, 2·14, 4·7)

after trial-and-error, found that 4 and 7 worked (used un-FOIL)

b) 2x + 7 = 0

2x = -7

x = -7/2

*********

x-4 = 0

x = 4

b) The sample collected = 3,095. These are the benefited employees who participated in the study.

c) Indication of demographic variables as categorical or numerical:

Demographic data: Categorical or Numerical

Gender = Categorical

Age (years) = Numerical

Education level = Numerical

(years completed)

Marital status = Categorical

Household income ($) = Numerical

Employment Category = Categorical

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Population of interest = 10,000 benefited employees

Sample = 3,095 participants

Demographic data:

Gender

Age (years)

Education level (years completed)

Marital status

Household income ($)

Employment Category

b) A variable is numerical value (e.g. length, test scores, etc.). It is a continuous variable. A categorical variable assumes a limited or fixed number of possible values, or it is categorized in groups.

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

option: C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

since, we are given a parent function f(x) as: f(x)=x.

We are asked to find what change will occur in the function when the parent function f(x) is replaced by f(9x).

let g(x) be the function formed by replacing f(x) with f(9x) i.e.

g(x)=f(9x)=9x.

clearly the slope of the function g(x)=f(9x) is 9. ( since on comparing the equation with the slope intercept form y=mx+c; where m is the slope of the line and c is the y- intercept).

whereas the slope of the function f(x)=x is 1.

Hence there is an increment of slope by a factor of 9.

Hence, option C is correct.

Which of the following equations below is a linear inequality?

Ket [755]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A <u>linear inequality</u> is an inequality which involves a linear function. A linear inequality contains one of the symbols of inequality: <, >, ≤, ≥.

Consider all options:

A. The inequality $\dfrac{y}{x}>3\cdot x+2$ is not linear linear inequality, because x is in the left part denominator and in the right part numerator.
