Thus,

and

Therefore, the linearlized form of the equation is y = 9.234 - 2.12x
Part B:
At x = 1.6,
Rearrange

to give

Let

be a variable 'p' and so we can write

as

Rewrite the equation in terms of 'p'

where

using the quadratic formula

and subsitute the value of



There are two value of p; 125 and -27
Now we find the value of x
Earlier we substitute

for

and

for

When

,
![x= \sqrt[3]{125}=5](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B125%7D%3D5%20)
When
![p = -27, x= \sqrt[3]{-27}=-3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=p%20%3D%20-27%2C%20x%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B-27%7D%3D-3%20)
So the final answer is the two values of x;
x = 5 OR x = -3
Answer:
The CD player's price decreased by 35%
If line AB and BC are intersecting at point B and ray BD bisect the angle ABC, then the value of x is 23
The line AB and BC are intersecting at point B.
Ray BD bisect the angle ABC
∠ABD = x+8 degrees
∠ABD=∠DBC = x+8
Because the ray BD bisect the ∠ABC, so ∠ABD and ∠DBC will be equal
∠ABD+∠DBC= 4x-30 degrees
Because both are vertically opposite angles
Substitute the values in the equation
x+8 + x+8 = 4x-30
2x+16 = 4x-30
2x-4x = -30-16
-2x = -46
x = 23
Hence, if line AB and BC are intersecting at point B and ray BD bisect the angle ABC, then the value of x is 23
The complete question is
