Answer:
Shortest side = 39 cm.
Median side = 65 cm.
Longest side = 91 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter in total is 195 cm. The ratio of the sides are 3 : 5 : 7.
First, find how much parts there are as a whole, by combining the ratios:
3 + 5 + 7 = 15 parts.
Divide the total of parts from the total measurement:
195/15 = 13
Each part has the measurement of 13 cm.
1 part = 13 cm.
Use the following ratio to solve for each of the sides:
Shortest side: 3
3 x 13 = 39
Shortest side = 39 cm.
Median side: 5
5 x 13 = 65
Median side = 65 cm.
Longest side: 7
7 x 13 = 91
Longest side = 91 cm.
Check. Combine all side measurements together. They should equal 195:
39 + 65 + 91 = 195
(39 + 65) + 91 = 195
(104) + 91 = 195
195 = 195 (True).

Let's represent the two numbers by x and y. Then xy=60. The smaller number here is x=y-7.
Then (y-7)y=60, or y^2 - 7y - 60 = 0. Use the quadratic formula to (1) determine whether y has real values and (2) to determine those values if they are real:
discriminant = b^2 - 4ac; here the discriminant is (-7)^2 - 4(1)(-60) = 191. Because the discriminant is positive, this equation has two real, unequal roots, which are
-(-7) + sqrt(191)
y = -------------------------
-2(1)
and
-(-7) - sqrt(191)
y = ------------------------- = 3.41 (approximately)
-2(1)
Unfortunately, this doesn't make sense, since the LCM of two numbers is generally an integer.
Try thinking this way: If the LCM is 60, then xy = 60. What would happen if x=5 and y=12? Is xy = 60? Yes. Is 5 seven less than 12? Yes.
Answer:
a. at zero years of education, income equals $1500
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for income 'I', as a function of years of education 't' is given by:
Where b is the regression coefficient and a is the intercept.
The intercept is the value assumed by the function for t = 0 years of education:
Since the income function measures income in $1,000s, at zero years of education, income equals $1500
