The distance from Gillette, New Jersey, to Irvington, New Jersey, is 1 mile more than four times the distance from Irvington to

Newark. If the total distance from Gillette to Newark is 2 miles less than six times the distance from Irvington to Newark, what is the distance from Irvington to Newark if all three cities are in a straight line?

Answer:

distance from Irvington to Newark

.= 3 Miles

Step-by-step explanation:

distance from Irvington to Newark.= X

distance from Gillette, New Jersey, to Irvington, New Jersey,= y

Y= 1+4x

total distance from Gillette to Newark

= z

Z= 6x-2

But total distance = x+y

Total distance= x+1+4x

Total distance= 1+5x

1 +5x= 6x-2

1+2= 6x-5x

3= x

distance from Irvington to Newark.= X

distance from Irvington to Newark

.= 3 Miles

distance from Gillette, New Jersey, to Irvington, New Jersey,= 1+4x

distance from Gillette, New Jersey, to Irvington, New Jersey,= 1+4(3)

distance from Gillette, New Jersey, to Irvington, New Jersey,= 1+12

distance from Gillette, New Jersey, to Irvington, New Jersey,= 13 miles

Total distance= 1+5x

Total distance= 1+5(3)

Total distance= 16 miles

Construct a residual plot of the amount of money in a person’s bank account and their age that would indicate a linear model.
stepladder [879]

Answer:

The regression line is not a good model because there is a pattern in the residual plot.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a  residual plot for a data set

The residual plot shows scatter plot of x and y

The plotting of points show that there is not likely to be a linear trend of relation between the two variables. It is more likely to be parabolic or exponential.

Hence the regression line cannot be a good model as they do not approach 0.

Also there is not a pattern of linear trend.

D) The regression line is not a good model because there is a pattern in the residual plot.

What is the solution to 2 log Subscript 9 Baseline (x) = log Subscript 9 Baseline 8 + log Subscript 9 Baseline (x minus 2) x = n
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

\large\boxed{\large\boxed{x=4}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to solve is:

            2\log_9 x=\log_9 8+\log_9 (x-2)

1. <u>On the left-hand side </u>use: "The product of a constant by a logarithm is equal to the logarithm raised to the constant"

Thus, the left-hand side is:

               2\log_9 x=\log_9 x^2

2. On the <u>right-hand side</u> use "The sum of two logarithms with the same base is the logarithm of the product":

Then, on the right-hand side:

        \log_9 8+\log_9 (x-2)=\log_9 8(x-2)

3. <u>Make them equal</u>:

      \log_9 x^2=\log_9 8(x-2)

4. Since the two functions are the same, <u>make the arguments equal</u>:

     x^2=8(x-2)

5. <u>Solve the equation</u>:

        x^2=8x-16\\\\x^2-8x+16=0\\\\(x-4)^2=0\\\\x-4=0\\\\x=4\leftarrow solution
