You might have made an error the first time you solved for x. I got x = -0.5.
When you have your log base 4, the way you cancel that out is by making 4 the base on both sides, so you get 4^(log4) to reduce to 1, and you're left with:
2x + 3 = 4^(1/2) ... Simplify
2x + 3 = 2
2x = -1
x = -1/2
If you plug that back in, everything checks out. Maybe double check your use of logarithm/exponent properties?
Answer:
Range = 13
Mean = 8.3
Variance = 17.61
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the population dataset :
2, 9, 15, 4, 12, 9, 13, 6, 3, 10
1.) Range : (maximum - minimum)
Maximum = 15 ; minimum = 2
Range = (15 - 2) = 13
2.) population mean (μ) :
μ = ΣX / n
n = sample size
μ = (2 + 9 + 15 + 4 + 12 + 9 + 13 + 6 + 3 + 10) / 10
μ = 83 / 10
μ = 8.3
3.) Population variance (s²)
Σ(x - μ)² / n
=[(2 - 8.3)^2 + (9 - 8.3)^2 + (15 - 8.3)^2 + (4 - 8.3)^2 + (12 - 8.3)^2 + (9 - 8.3)^2 + (13 - 8.3)^2 + (6 - 8.3)^2 + (3 - 8.3)^2 + (10 - 8.3)^2] / 10
s² = 176.1 / 10
s² = 17.61
Input (x-value)
Output (y-value)
You need to find the x-value that produces a y-value of -1. Since you know:
y = -1 Use the rule, and substitute/plug this into the equation
y = -2x + 33 Plug in -1 for "y" in the equation since y = -1
-1 = -2x + 33 Subtract 33 on both sides
-1 - 33 = -2x + 33 - 33
-34 = -2x Divide -2 on both sides to get "x" by itself
17 = x
An input of 17 yields an output of -1
Answer:
16,800 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
1. find 20 percent of 21,000= 4,200
2. subtract 4,200 from 21,000
21,000
-4,200
16,800 dollars
