Solve for a. Show (All steps must be shown): -2(a-3)=12

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

first distrubute the parenthesis -2(a-3)

-2a+ 6= 12

then move the like terms

6 becomes -6 and subtract to both sides so 6-6 cancels out and you are left with 12-6 which gives you 6

then you have -2a = 6

lastly divide on both sides and you get

-2a÷ -2 (cancels out)

6÷ -2

and the answer is

a= -3

Complete Question

Country financials, a financial services company, uses surveys of adults age 18 and older to determine if personal financial fitness is changing over time. In February 2012, a sample of 1000 adults showed 410 indicating that their financial security was more that fair. In Feb 2010, a sample of 900 adults showed 315 indicating that their financial security was more than fair.

a

State the hypotheses that can be used to test for a significant difference between the population proportions for the two years.

b

What is the sample proportion indicating that their  financial security was more that fair in 2012?In 2010?

c

Conduct the hypothesis test and compute the p-value.At a .05 level of significance what is your conclusion?

Answer:

a

The null hypothesis is  [tex]H_o : p_1 = p_2[/tex]

The  alternative hypothesis is   [tex]H_a : p_1 \ne p_2[/tex]

b

in 2012  [tex]\r p_1 =0.41[/tex]

in 2010  [tex]\r p_2 =0.35[/tex]  

c

The  p-value  is  [tex]p-value = 0.0072 [/tex]

The conclusion is

There is  sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of those indicating that  financial security is more fair in Feb 2010 is different from the proportion of  those indicating that financial security is more fair in Feb 2012.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  sample size in 2012 is  [tex]n_1 = 1000[/tex]

    The  number that indicated that their finance was more than fail is  k  =  410  

     The  sample  size in 2010  is  [tex]n_2 = 900[/tex]

   The  number that indicated that their finance was more than fail is  u  =  315

     The  level of significance is  [tex] \alpha  =  0.05[/ex]

The null hypothesis is  [tex]H_o : p_1 = p_2[/tex]

The  alternative hypothesis is   [tex]H_a : p_1 \ne p_2[/tex]

Generally the sample proportion for  2012 is mathematically represented as

     [tex]\r p_1 = \frac{k}{n_1}[/tex]

=>   [tex]\r p_1 = \frac{410}{1000}[/tex]

=>   [tex]\r p_1 =0.41[/tex]

Generally the sample proportion for  2010 is mathematically represented as

      [tex]\r p_2 = \frac{u}{n_2}[/tex]

=>   [tex]\r p_2 = \frac{315}{900}[/tex]

=>   [tex]\r p_2 =0.35[/tex]    

Generally the pooled sample proportion is mathematically represented as

      [tex]\r p = \frac{k + u }{n_1 + n_2}[/tex]

=>     [tex]\r p =  \frac{410 + 315 }{1000+ 900}[/tex]

=>      [tex]\r p = 0.3816 [/tex]

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

     [tex]z = \frac{( \r p_1 - \r p_2 ) - 0}{\sqrt{\r p (1 - \r p ) ( \frac{1}{n_1} +\frac{1}{n_2} )} }[/tex]

 [tex]z = \frac{( 0.41 -0.35 ) - 0}{\sqrt{0.3816 (1 - 0.3816 ) ( \frac{1}{1000} +\frac{1}{900} )} }[/tex]    

 

 [tex]z = \frac{( 0.41 -0.35 ) - 0}{\sqrt{0.3816 (1 - 0.3816 ) ( \frac{1}{1000} +\frac{1}{900} )} }[/tex]

   [tex]z  =  2.688[/tex]

Generally the p- value  is mathematically represented as  

      [tex]p-value = 2 P(Z >2.688  )[/tex]

From the z -table  

      [tex]P(Z > 2.688) = 0.0036 [/tex]

So  

      [tex]p-value = 2 *0.0036 [/tex]

        [tex]p-value = 0.0072 [/tex]

So from the p-value  obtained we see that p-value  <  [tex]\alpha[/tex] so we reject the null hypothesis

Thus there is  sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of financial security is more fair in Feb 2010 is different from the proportion of financial security is more fair in Feb 2012.

John ran 3 miles in 25.2 minutes. The equation y = 8.5x, where x represents the number of miles and y represents the total time in minutes, represents this situation. What is the constant of proportionality? What does the constant of proportionality represent in the context of the problem?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

John ran 3 miles in 25.2 minutes. We can find the speed of john as follows :

Speed = distance/time

v = [tex]\dfrac{3\ \text{miles}}{25.2\ \text{minutes}}=0.1190\ \text{miles/minutes}[/tex]

The equation y = 8.5x, where x represents the number of miles and y represents the total time in minutes, represents this situation. y is proportional to x with constant of proportionality 8.5.

Velocity of John is 0.1190 miles/minute. We can write it in the form of equation as :

y = 0.1190x

In this problem, the constant of proportionality is 0.1190.

Answers

Answer:

x = -18

Step-by-step explanation:

Well you just have to do the this formula to find the slope

[tex]\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}[/tex]  Plug in

[tex]\frac{5 - 12}{x - -4 }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-7}{?}[/tex]=[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

So we know x will have to be a negative to get 1/2

I would think x = -18 because -18 - -4 = -14 so it would look like this

[tex]\frac{5 - 12}{-18 - -4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-7}{-14}[/tex] =[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

When you further simplify -7/-14 you get 1/2

if f(x)=3^x+10 and g(x)=2x-4, find (f-g)(x)

Answers

Answer:   3^x - 2x + 14

=====================================

Work Shown:

(f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)

(f - g)(x) = ( f(x) ) - ( g(x) )

(f - g)(x) = ( 3^x + 10 ) - ( 2x-4 )

(f - g)(x) = 3^x + 10 - 2x+4

(f - g)(x) = 3^x - 2x + (10+4)

(f - g)(x) = 3^x - 2x + 14

The vertex of the function is (-8,5).
The axis of symmetry is x = 5.
The y-intercept of the function is (0.5).
The function crosses the x-axis twice

Answers

Answer:

A, D, E

Step-by-step explanation:

The statements that are true about the graph of the function are

The function in vertex form is f(x) = (x - 4)^2 - 11.The y-intercept of the function is (0,5).The function crosses the x-axis twice

Vertex and intercept of a function

The standard equation of a function in vertex form is expreseed as:

a(x-h)^2 + k

Given the quadaratic function  f(x) = x^2 - 8x + 5, the expression in vertex form is given as:
f(x) = (x^2-8x + 4^2) - 16 + 5

f(x) = (x-4)^2 - 16 + 5
f(x) = (x-4)^2 - 11

Find the y-intercept.

This is the point here x = 0
f(0) = 0^2 - 8(0) + 5
f(0) = 5

Hence the y-intercept of the function is at (0, 5)

Since the quadratic function has a leading degree of 2, hence the  function crosses the x-axis twice

A person places $290 in an investment account earning an annual rate of 2.2%, compounded continuously. Using the formula V = Pe^{rt}V=Pe rt , where V is the value of the account in t years, P is the principal initially invested, e is the base of a natural logarithm, and r is the rate of interest, determine the amount of money, to the nearest cent, in the account after 18 years.

Answers

Answer:

$430.90

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the principal p= $290

rate r= 2.2%  2.2/100 =0.022  

time t= 18years

by applying the expression

[tex]V = Pe^{rt}[/tex]

We have

[tex]V = 290e^{0.022*18}\\\\V=290e^{0.396}\\\\V=290*1.48586931755\\\\V=$430.90[/tex]

Hence after 18years the money in the account will be $430.90

What are sets and subsets?

A set is a collection of well-defined objects.

A subset contains all the elements or a few elements of the given set.

The improper subset is when it contains all the elements of the given set and the proper subset is when it doesn't contain all the elements of the given set.

In this example, we search for the group of students who participate in both sports because we are aware that p is the set formed by the students who play basketball and q is the group formed by the students who play tennis. In other words, we seek the point at where the sets p and q intersect.

Each set is represented by a circle in the Venn diagram, and the set produced by the intersection of p and q is represented by the area where the two circles overlap.

This graph demonstrates that there are 4 kids that participate in both basketball and tennis.

The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain, a fast development of society following the introduction of machines. The United States was slower than Great Britain to fully embrace the changes. Yet key technological developments caused a rapid growth in American urban areas.Better farming methods and tools in the 1800s increased food production. Americans were able to grow enough food for their families as well as to sell. The abundance caused food prices to fall.The expansion of cotton and the growth of textile factories in northern states helped produce the first wave of American industry. More people turned to work in northern factories as a way to support their families. Thousands of immigrants to the United States also settled in or near port cities, looking for work. Even today, the need for work is a common reason people move to urban areas.As a result, cities grew in numbers of people and physical space. As more people and businesses moved in, they needed buildings for living and working. They needed ways to move around the city. We call this process urbanization.In 1820, the United States had only a few cities of 10,000 residents or more. About seven percent of U.S. residents lived in urban areas. The number of cities with more than 10,000 people grew quickly over the next 40 years, especially in the Northeast and Midwest. By 1860, about 20 percent lived in cities. Philadelphia and New York City were the most populated cities in 1860 and would soon reach one million residents.The urbanization of the United States quickened due to technology improvements. Without innovations in food production, the factories could not have grown so quickly. The trend quickened after 1860 and continued throughout the 21st century as well.
