Answer:x=5,-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Edna says that when \left ( x-2\right )^2=9[/tex]

then x-2=3

such that x=5

but this is not true as when we put the value of x in equation then it will not satisfy the equation.

It can be solved by taking the terms either on LHS or RHS

\left ( x-2\right )^2-9=0

x-2=\pm 3

x=5

x=-1

Assuming the given equation is (x-2)^2 = 9, Edna is partially correct. Saying x-2 = 3 is halfway there in terms of getting the ful solution. She forgot about the minus form of the plus minus. If (x-2)^2 = 9, then applying the square root to both sides leads to these two equations: x-2 = 3 or x-2 = -3. So we have a plus 3 and then a minus 3.

In an article in Statistics and Computing [""An Iterative Monte Carlo Method for Nonconjugate Bayesian Analysis"" (1991, pp. 119
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

a)

The dependent variable is

Y: length of a dugong

The explanatory variable is

X: age of a dugong

You need to estimate the linear regression of the length of the dugongs as a function of their age.

Using the given data I've estimated the regression using a statistic software:

The regression model is E(Yi)= α + βXi

The estimated model is ^Yi= a + bXi

Where a is the estimate of the intercept and b is the estimate of the slope:

a= 2.02

b= 0.03

And the estimate of the population variance of the error is Se²= 0.03

The estimated regression equation is ^Yi= 2.02 + 0.03Xi

b)

You have to estimate the length of a dugong when its age is 11 years using the model, for this all you have to do is replace X=11 in the regression line and calculate the corresponding ^Y value:

^Yi= 2.02 + 0.03*11= 2.35

The average length of an 11-year-old dugong should be 2.35.

I hope it helps!

An internet service provider is implementing a new program based on the number of connected devices in each household. Currently
erica [24]

The current rate is simply equal to $175 per month, let us call this as rate A:

A = 175

 

The new rate is $94 plus $4.50 per devices, let us call this as rate B:

B = 94 + 4.50 x

where x is the number of devices connected to the network

 

The inequality equation for us to find x which the new plan is less than current plan is:

94 + 4.50 x < 175

 

Solving for x:

4.50 x < 81

x < 18

So the number of devices must be less than 18.

 

 

- From the graph, we can actually see that the new rate intersects the current rate at number of devices equal to 18. So it should really be below 18 devices.

The points plotted below are on the graph of a polynomial. In what range of x-values must the polynomial have a root?
joja [24]

Actually, I think the question should be, "In what range(s) of x-values must there be a root of the POLYNOMIAL?" Unless you are working with some real strange maths, polynomials are smooth and continuous. If you drew a smooth and continuous line through the points in the graph, where would the line have to cross the x-axis?
