Answer:

The value of x is reciprocal of the difference of a and b.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation, ax=bx+1

On simplifying, we get,

ax=bx+1

i.e. ax-bx=1

i.e. (a-b)x=1

i.e. x=\frac{1}{a-b}

So, we get,

The value of x is \frac{1}{a-b}.

That is, the value of x is reciprocal of the difference of a and b.

The equation ax = bx + 1 is the same as x = 1/(a  - b) when solved for x. This means that x is equal to the reciprocal of the difference of a and b.

What is the equation of the graph below?
kherson [118]

Answer:

A. y = sine (x + 90 degrees)

Step-by-step explanation:

  • y = cosine(x) is a curve that crosses the y-axis at y = 1 and completes one cycle at 360 degrees.
  • sine(x) have the same curve than cosine(x), but translated 90° to the right respect cosine(x)
  • f(x + c) translates f(x) horizontally c units to the left.
  • Then, sine(x + 90) is equivalent to cosine(x)

The California State University (CSU) system consists of 23 campuses, from San Diego State in the south to Humboldt State near t
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

For this case since since they not want to differentiate between the campuses, so is good to use a simple random sampling or SRS, that is a procedure in order to select a sample of size n from a population of size N known, and each element of the population have the sample probability of being selected p=\frac{1}{N}

So then the administrator can select a random sample of n students from all the campuses from the CSU University and obtain the distance from hometwon to campuses for the selected sample and then calculate the average and use this to inference.

Other possibility is use a systematic random sampling for example they can define a random number k and they can select 1 student each k individuals and then create a random sample of size n and calculate the average for this in order to do inference.

The convenience sampling is not too useful since is not a probabilistic method.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can clasify this study as an enumerative study and inferential since they want to identify the average distance between the hometowns of students and their campuses.

For this case the sampling frame represent all the 23 campuses, and is known for the researcher,

For this case since since they not want to differentiate between the campuses, so is good to use a simple random sampling or SRS, that is a procedure in order to select a sample of size n from a population of size N known, and each element of the population have the sample probability of being selected p=\frac{1}{N}

What is the approximate length of arc s on the circle below? Use 3.14 for Pi. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
slega [8]

Answer:

The approximate length of arc s is 14.1 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The picture of the question in the attached figure</em></u>

step 1

Find the circumference of the circle

The formula to calculate the circumference is equal to

C=2\pi r

we have

r=6\ in\\\pi=3.14

substitute

C=2(3.14)(6)\\C=37.68\ in

step 2

Find the approximate length of arc s

we know that

The circumference of a circle subtends a central angle of 360 degrees

so

using proportion

Find the arc length s for a central angle of 135 degrees

\frac{37.68}{360}=\frac{x}{135}\\\\x=37.68(135)/360\\\\x= 14.1\ in

Find the hcf of 144 and 180. if it is expressed in the form 13m-3, find the value of m​
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the HCF of 144 and 180

By using product of prime method

Firstly express 144 as a product of it prime and express 180 as a product of it prime

140=2×2×2×2×3×3

180=2×2×3×3×5

Common factor =2×2×3×3

36

in term of m

m=36

13m-3

To find m

Substitute for m when m=36

13(36)-3=

The rejection region is give by 

|z_{test}|\ \textgreater \ z_{\alpha/2}

where the test statistics is given by

\frac{\bar{x}-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}} = \frac{980-1000}{100/\sqrt{75}} \\ \\ = \frac{-20}{100/8.6603} = \frac{-20}{11.5470} =-1.73

i.e. |z_{test}|=|-1.73|=1.73

Thus, z_{\alpha/2}=1.73

Using the statistical table, the level of the test is 0.04.
