Option C: $316$ is the predicted population when $x=15$

Explanation:

The regression equation for an exponential data is $\log y=0.14x+0.4$

Where x is the number of years and

y is the population

We need to determine the predicted population when $x=15$

The population x can be determined by substituting $x=15$ in the equation $\log y=0.14x+0.4$

Thus, we have,

$\log y=0.14(15)+0.4$

$\log y=2.1+0.4$

$\log y=2.5$

Using the logarithmic definition $\log _{a}(b)=c$ then $b=a^{c}$

$\log _{10}(y)=2.5 \Rightarrow y=10^{2.5}$

$y=316.22776 \ldots$

Rounding off to the nearest whole number, we get,

$y=316$

Thus, the predicted population when $x=15$ is 316

Hence, Option C is the correct answer.

We flip a fair coin five times. For every heads you pay me $1 and for every tails I pay you $1. Let X denote the my net winning

TEA [102]

Answer:

The probability mass of X is 0.03

Step-by-step explanation:

If we set the winning requirement of your heads and my tails then the occurring possibility of both is 1/2 or 0.5.

Hence let us make a graph and use the figures to calculate the all the probabilities of you getting a heads.

Where X represents the number of dollars won during the flip of the coin, probability of heads represent the chances of occurrence of the value and of winning the dollars.

The probability of winning start to drop as the winning amount increases.

X 0 1 2 3 4 5

Probability of Heads 0 0.50 0.25 0.13 0.06 0.03

Milton spilled some ink on his homework paper. He can't read the coefficient of $x$, but he knows that the equation has two dist

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

$Sum = -81$

Step-by-step explanation:

See the comment for complete question.

Given

$c = 36$ ----- Constant

No coefficient of x^2

Required:

Determine the sum of all distinct positive integers of the coefficient of x

Reading through the complete question, we can see that the question has 3 terms which are:

x^2 ---- with no coefficient

x ---- with an unknown coefficient

36 ---- constant

So, the equation can be represented as:

$x^2 + ax + 36 = 0$

Where a is the unknown coefficient

From the question, we understand that the equation has two negative integer solution. This can be represented as:

$x = -\alpha$ and $x = -\beta$

Using the above roots, the equation can be represented as:

$(x + \alpha)(x + \beta) = 0$

Open brackets

$x^2 + (\alpha + \beta)x + \alpha \beta = 0$

To compare the above equation to $x^2 + ax + 36 = 0$ , we have:

$a = \alpha + \beta$

$\alpha \beta = 36$

Where: $\alpha, \beta$ and $\alpha \ne \beta$

The values of $\alpha$ and $\beta$ that satisfy $\alpha \beta = 36$ are:

$\alpha = -1$ and $\beta = -36$

$\alpha = -2$ and $\beta = -18$

$\alpha = -3$ and $\beta = -12$

$\alpha = -4$ and $\beta = -9$

So, the possible values of a are:

$a = \alpha + \beta$

When $\alpha = -1$ and $\beta = -36$

$a = -1 - 36 = -37$

When $\alpha = -2$ and $\beta = -18$

$a = -2 - 18 = -20$

When $\alpha = -3$ and $\beta = -12$

$a = -3 - 12 = -15$

When $\alpha = -4$ and $\beta = -9$

$a = -4 - 9 = -13$

At this point, we have established that the possible values of a are: -37, -20, -15 and -9.

The required sum is:

$Sum = -37 -20 -15 - 9$

$Sum = -81$

What is the GCF of x2 and x9?

zepelin [54]

Answer:

x²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the values x² and x^9

The greatest common factor is the factors common to two or more compared values :

Factors of :

x² = x * x

x^9 = x * x * x * x * x * x * x * x * x

Multiplying the Factors in both are : x * x = x²

Similarly :

___|x² | x^9

_ x | x | x^8

_ x | 1 | x^7

There is no factor which can reduce both further simultaneously, Hence the G. C. F = (x * x) = x²
