Some students planned for a get-together. The budget for food was $500. Five of the students failed to come because of the distance and therefore the cost of food for each member increased by $5. How many students attended the get-together?
LET N BE NUMBER OF STUDENTS ATTENDED.
TOTAL NUMBER OF STUDENTS = N+5
FOOD BUDGET = 500 $
BUDGETED COST PER HEAD = 500/(N+5)
ACTUAL COST INCURRED PER HEAD ATTENDED = [500/(N+5)]+5 = (500+5N+25)/(N+5)
TOTAL ACTUAL COST =N*(5N+525)/(N+5)
HENCE
(5N^2+525N)/(N+5)=500
5N^2+525N=500(N+5)=500N+2500
5N^2+25N-2500=0
N^2+5N-500=0
N^2+25N-20N-500=0
N(N+25)-20(N+25)=0
(N-20)(N+25)=0
N=20

x = 4y + 1
GENERALLY WE ARE GIVEN Y=F(X)=SOME FUNCTION OF X SAY Y=F(X)=4X+1...OR..SOME THING LIKE THAT THEN PROCEDURE IS
PUT
1.Y=4X+1
2.SOLVE FOR X
4X=Y-1
X=(Y-1)/4
3.NOW PUT X IN PLACE OF Y ON THE RIGHT SIDE AND THEN WE GET
F INVERSE X =(X-1)/4
TO CHECK
F OF [F INVERSE X] = X
TO SIMPLIFY UNDERSTANDING AND FOR EASE OF WORK
PUT F INVERSE X =Z= (X-1)/4
F[F INVERSE X]=F[Z]= 4Z+1 =[4(X-1)/4]+1 = (4X-4+4)/4 = 4X/4=X
TO CHECK
F INVERSE OF [F(X)]=X
F INVERSE OF[4X+1] .....
TO SIMPLIFY UNDERSTANDING AND FOR EASE OF WORK....
PUT Z=4X+1
F INVERSE OF[Z]=(Z-1)/4 =[4X+1-1]/4=4X/4=X
HOPE YOU UNDERSTOOD
BUT YOU GAVE
X=4Y+1..........LET US FIND F INVERSE Y IN THE SAME MANNER
4Y=X-1
Y=(X-1)/4
HENCE
F INVERSE Y = (Y-1)/4

For what Values of p will the expression p+8x-3x^2 always be positive?
FOR NO VALUE OF P WILL IT BE ALWAYS POSITIVE.
QUADRATIC WILL ALWAYS HAVE ONE SIGN POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE IF ITS
DISCRIMINANT IS NEGATIVE.
THEN IT WILL ALWAYS BE +VE IF COEFFICIENT OF X^2 IS POSITIVE
OR IT WILL ALWAYS BE - VE. IF COEFFICIENT OF X^2 IS NEGATIVE,AS
IS THE CASE HERE.HENCE IF
D=8^2-4P(-3)<0...THAT IS 64-12P<0...THAT IS....P>64/12=16/3,THE FUNCTION WILL BE ALWAYS NEGATIVE.

HERE X IS CALLED INDEPENDENT VARIABLE AND Y DEPENDENT VARIABLE.
OUR UNIVERSE IS REAL NUMBERS FOR THIS PURPOSE.
NOW , THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT X CAN TAKE ANY VALUE IN REAL NUMBERS.
IT CAN TAKE ONLY SUCH VALUES WHICH MAKE THE GIVEN FUNCTION F(X) OR Y IN SHORT MEANINGFUL.THAT IS A MATHEMATICALLY ALLOWED OPERATION.
CERTAIN OPERATIONS LIKE DIVISION BY ZERO , SQUARE ROOT OF A NEGATIVE NUMBER,LOG OF ZERO OR NEGATIVE NUMBER ARE NOT DEFINED.EITHER THEY ARE CALLED INFINITY(PLUS OR MINUS)OR IMAGINARY.
SO WE SAY X CAN NOT TAKE SUCH VALUES WHICH REQUIRES US TO PERFORM SUCH OPERATIONS.
X CAN TAKE VALUES OF ALL OTHER REAL NUMBERS.THE SET OF THESE REAL NUMBERS IS CALLED DOMAIN OF THE FUNCTION.
IF YOU HAVE
Y=1/(X-3)...DOMAIN IS ALL REAL VALUES EXCEPT 3 AS IT WILL LEAD TO DIVISION BY ZERO .
IN YOUR EXAMPLE THE FIRST TERM BECOMES MEANING LESS IF
9-X^2<0.HENCE
9-X^2>=0
9>=X^2
X^2<=9
|X|<=3......THAT IS X SHOULD BE BETWEEN -3 AND +3
WE SHOW IT AS X = [-3,3]......[..]..BRACKETS INDICATE X CAN EQUAL THE BORDER VALUES
THAT IS X=3 AND X=-3 ARE ALLOWED.
NOW THERE IS A SECOND TERM.SQRT.(1-X^2)
SIMILAR ARGUMENT LEADS US TO CONCLUDE X = [-1,1]
THE COMBINATION OF THE I AND II CONDITIONS MAKE US TO CONCLUDE THAT X = [-1,1]
YOUR ANSWER IS [1,3]WHICH IS NOT CORRECT.
ON THE OTHER HAND,IF SECOND TERM IS SQ.RT(X^2-1)....THEN |X| >=|
X<=-1......OR............X>=1...COMBINING THIS WITH I CONDITION , WE GET
X=[1,3] AND [-3,-1]

i need to know:
when the problem is log base2 X + log base2 (X + 7) = 3
doesnt that need to be rewritten and then solved?
LOG[X(X+7)] TO BASE 2 =3
X(X+7)=2^3=8
X^2+7X-8=0
X^2+8X-X-8=0
X(X+8)-1(X+8)=0
(X-1)(X+8)=0
X=1..OR.......-8.........
SING LOG OF NEGATIVE NUMBER DOES NOT EXIST
X=1 IS THE ANSWER


Probability-and-statistics/84213: This question is from textbook Elementary Statistics in Social Research
A focus group of 10 adults was chosen to evaluate the performance of a candidate during a presidential debate. Each member of the group rated the overall performane on a scale of 1 (poor) to 10 (superior). The ratings given the candiates were as follows:
4 5 8 7 9 8 7 3 6 7
Calculate the (a) range (b) mean deviation (c) variance and standard deviation for these rating scores.

a)What is d, the difference between any 2 terms?
Answer:
Show work in this space.
D= COMMON DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 2 CONSECUTIVE TERMS
4-2=6-4=8-6=10-8=2....CONSTANT...THIS IS THE PROPERTY
OF ARITHMATIC PROGRESSION
b)Using the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic
sequence, what is 101st term? Answer:
Show work in this space.
TN=A+(N-1)D=2+(N-1)2=2N
T101=2*101=202
c)Using the formula for the sum of an arithmetic
series, what is the sum of the first 20 terms?
Answer:
Show work in this space.
SN=(N/2){2A+(N-1)D}=(N/2){2*2+(N-1)2}=(N/2)(2N+2)=N^2+N
S20=20^2+20=420
d)Using the formula for the sum of an arithmetic
series, what is the sum of the first 30 terms?
Answer:
Show work in this space.
S30=30^2+30=930
e)What observation can you make about these sums of
this series (HINT: It would be beneficial to find a
few more sums like the sum of the first 2, then the
