solutions are: x ≈ and x ≈ .
2 answers:
Answer:
- See the graph attached
- x₁ ≈ - 2.1
- x₂ ≈ 0.2
Explanation:
To solve log (−5.6x + 1.3) = −1 − x graphycally, you must graph this system of equations on the same coordinate plane:
- Equation 1: y = log (5.6x + 1.3)
- Equatin2: y = - 1 - x
1) To graph the equation 1 you can use these features of logarithmfunctions:
- Domain: positive values ⇒ -5.6x + 1.3 > 0 ⇒ x < 13/56 (≈ 0.23)
- Range: all real numbers (- ∞ , ∞)
- x-intercept:
log ( -5.6x + 1.3) = 0 ⇒ -5.6x + 1.3 = 1 ⇒x = 0.3/5.6 ≈ 0.054
- y-intercept:
x = 0 ⇒ log (0 + 1.3) = log (1.3) ≈ 0.11
- Pick some other values and build a table:
x log (-5.6x + 1.3)
-1 0.8
-2 1.1
-3 1.3
- You can see such graph on the picture attached: it is the red curve.
2) Graphing the equation 2 is easier because it is a line: y = - 1 - x
- slope, m = - 1 (the coeficient of x)
- y - intercept, b = - 1 (the constant term)
- x - intercept: y = 0 = - 1 - x ⇒ x = - 1
- The graph is the blue line on the picture.
3) The solution or solutions of the equations are the intersection points of the two graphs. So, now the graph method just requires that you read the x coordinates of the intersection points. From the least to the greatest, rounded to the nearest tenth, they are:
- <u><em>x₁ ≈ - 2.1</em></u>
- <u><em>x₂ ≈ 0.2</em></u>

Answer:
The average change in rent can be determined by substituting the value of <em>X</em> as 5000 in the regression equation.
Step-by-step explanation:
A simple linear regression line is used to predict the value of the dependent variable from the independent variable.
The general form is:
Dependent variables are those variables that are under study, i.e. they are being observed for any changes when the other variables in the model are changed.
The dependent variables are also known as response variables.
In this case the dependent variable is the average change in rent for a 1-bedroom apartment.
Independent variables are the variables that are being altered to see a proportionate change in the dependent variable. In a regression model there can be one or more than one independent variables.
The independent variables are also known as the predictor variables.
In this case the independent variable is the average income in a city.
So, for an increase of $5,000 in incomes the average change in rent can be determined by substituting the value of <em>X</em> as 5000 in the regression equation.
