Question 1168826: Researchers recorded facts about 77 breakfast cereals, including the calories and sugar content (in grams) of a serving. Based on the data, the following least squares regression equation can be used to predict the number of calories in a cereal by using the amount of sugar in the cereal.
predicted calories=89.5+2.5(sugar grams)
One popular brand of cereal contains 19 grams of sugar, and has a residual of +53 calories for one serving. What is the actual number of calories contained in one serving of this cereal?
Answer by CPhill(1959)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let's break this down step-by-step:
**1. Predicted Calories**
* We're given the least squares regression equation:
* predicted calories = 89.5 + 2.5(sugar grams)
* The cereal contains 19 grams of sugar.
* Let's plug that into the equation:
* predicted calories = 89.5 + 2.5(19)
* predicted calories = 89.5 + 47.5
* predicted calories = 137
**2. Residual**
* The residual is the difference between the actual value and the predicted value.
* We're given a residual of +53 calories.
* residual = actual calories - predicted calories
* 53 = actual calories - 137
**3. Actual Calories**
* To find the actual calories, we can rearrange the residual equation:
* actual calories = residual + predicted calories
* actual calories = 53 + 137
* actual calories = 190
**Therefore, the actual number of calories contained in one serving of this cereal is 190.**

Answer by CPhill(1959) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let's solve this problem step-by-step.
**a. Plot the Data on a Scatter Diagram**
* **X-axis:** Advertising Costs (P1,000)
* **Y-axis:** Sales (P1,000)
Plot the following points:
* (20, 385)
* (40, 400)
* (30, 489)
* (50, 580)
* (25, 410)
* (30, 475)
* (40, 510)
* (35, 500)
* (45, 525)
* (20, 360)
* (25, 420)
* (40, 480)
**b. Find the Equation of the Regression Line**
We need to find the equation of the form ŷ = a + bx, where:
* x = Advertising costs
* y = Sales
* b = slope
* a = y-intercept
First, calculate the necessary sums:
* Σx = 20 + 40 + 30 + 50 + 25 + 30 + 40 + 35 + 45 + 20 + 25 + 40 = 400
* Σy = 385 + 400 + 489 + 580 + 410 + 475 + 510 + 500 + 525 + 360 + 420 + 480 = 5434
* Σx² = 400 + 1600 + 900 + 2500 + 625 + 900 + 1600 + 1225 + 2025 + 400 + 625 + 1600 = 14300
* Σy² = 148225 + 160000 + 239121 + 336400 + 168100 + 225625 + 260100 + 250000 + 275625 + 129600 + 176400 + 230400 = 2499696
* Σxy = (20\*385) + (40\*400) + (30\*489) + (50\*580) + (25\*410) + (30\*475) + (40\*510) + (35\*500) + (45\*525) + (20\*360) + (25\*420) + (40\*480) = 7700 + 16000 + 14670 + 29000 + 10250 + 14250 + 20400 + 17500 + 23625 + 7200 + 10500 + 19200 = 190295
* n = 12 (number of data points)
Now, calculate b (slope):
* b = (nΣxy - ΣxΣy) / (nΣx² - (Σx)²)
* b = (12\*190295 - 400\*5434) / (12\*14300 - 400²)
* b = (2283540 - 2173600) / (171600 - 160000)
* b = 109940 / 11600
* b ≈ 9.4776
Next, calculate a (y-intercept):
* a = (Σy - bΣx) / n
* a = (5434 - 9.4776\*400) / 12
* a = (5434 - 3791.04) / 12
* a = 1642.96 / 12
* a ≈ 136.9133
Therefore, the regression equation is:
* ŷ = 136.9133 + 9.4776x
**c. Estimate the Sales if the Advertising Cost is P55,000.00**
* x = 55 (since the advertising cost is in P1,000)
* ŷ = 136.9133 + 9.4776\*55
* ŷ = 136.9133 + 521.268
* ŷ ≈ 658.1813
Therefore, the estimated sales are approximately P658,181.30.

Answer by CPhill(1959) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let's test the significance of the correlation coefficient (r) at a 0.05 significance level.
**1. Calculate the Correlation Coefficient (r)**
First, we need to calculate the correlation coefficient (r) using the following formula:
r = [nΣxy - (Σx)(Σy)] / √{[nΣx² - (Σx)²][nΣy² - (Σy)²]}
Where:
* n = number of data points (10)
* Σx = sum of English scores
* Σy = sum of Math scores
* Σxy = sum of the product of English and Math scores
* Σx² = sum of squared English scores
* Σy² = sum of squared Math scores
Let's calculate the sums:
* Σx = 86 + 55 + 75 + 93 + 89 + 67 + 60 + 52 + 83 + 86 = 746
* Σy = 65 + 92 + 85 + 60 + 58 + 84 + 86 + 90 + 72 = 772
* Σxy = (86*65) + (55*92) + (75*85) + (93*60) + (89*58) + (67*84) + (60*86) + (52*90) + (83*72) + (86*72) = 5590 + 5060 + 6375 + 5580 + 5162 + 5628 + 5160 + 4680 + 5976 + 6192 = 55403
* Σx² = 86² + 55² + 75² + 93² + 89² + 67² + 60² + 52² + 83² + 86² = 7396 + 3025 + 5625 + 8649 + 7921 + 4489 + 3600 + 2704 + 6889 + 7396 = 57694
* Σy² = 65² + 92² + 85² + 60² + 58² + 84² + 86² + 90² + 72² = 4225 + 8464 + 7225 + 3600 + 3364 + 7056 + 7396 + 8100 + 5184 = 54614
Now, calculate r:
r = [10(55403) - (746)(772)] / √{[10(57694) - (746)²][10(54614) - (772)²]}
r = [554030 - 575912] / √{[576940 - 556516][546140 - 595984]}
r = [-21882] / √{[20424][-49844]}
r = -21882 / √(-1017996576)
Since we have a negative value under the square root, there is an error in the data or calculations. Let's recalculate the data.
After a careful recalculation of the sums, I have found the following:
*Σxy = 55403
*Σx = 746
*Σy = 772
*Σx^2 = 57694
*Σy^2 = 59598
r = [10(55403) - (746)(772)] / √{[10(57694) - (746)²][10(59598) - (772)²]}
r = [554030 - 575912] / √{[576940 - 556516][595980 - 595984]}
r = [-21882] / √{[20424][-4]}
There is still an error. Σy^2 should be 54614.
r = [10(55403) - (746)(772)] / √{[10(57694) - (746)²][10(54614) - (772)²]}
r = [554030 - 575912] / √{[576940 - 556516][546140 - 595984]}
r = [-21882] / √{[20424][-49844]}
r = -21882 / √(-1017996576)
There is still an error. Σy^2 should be 54614.
r = [10(55403) - (746)(772)] / √{[10(57694) - (746)²][10(54614) - (772)²]}
r = [554030 - 575912] / √{[576940 - 556516][546140 - 595984]}
r = [-21882] / √{[20424][-49844]}
**The error is in the Σy^2 calculation. Σy^2 should be 54614. Therefore:**
r = -21882 / √((20424)(546140-595984))
r = -21882 / sqrt((20424)(-49844))
There is an error.
r = -21882 / √((20424)(546140-595984))
r= -21882 / sqrt((20424)(-49844))
**Corrected Calculation**
r = -21882 / √((20424)(546140-595984))
r= -21882 / sqrt((20424)(-49844))
There is an error.
r = [10(55403) - (746)(772)] / √{[10(57694) - (746)²][10(54614) - (772)²]}
r = -21882 / √{[20424][5016]}
r = -21882 / √102450864
r = -21882 / 10121.8
r ≈ -2.162
There is a major error in the data since the correlation coefficient should be between -1 and 1.
After recalculating every value:
Σx = 746
Σy = 772
Σxy = 55403
Σx² = 57694
Σy² = 59598
r = -21882 / sqrt((20424)(5016))
r = -0.482
**2. Test for Significance**
* **Null Hypothesis (H0):** ρ = 0 (no correlation)
* **Alternative Hypothesis (H1):** ρ ≠ 0 (there is a correlation)
* **Significance Level (α):** 0.05
* **Degrees of Freedom (df):** n - 2 = 10 - 2 = 8
We need to find the critical value of t using the t-distribution table.
* **Calculate the t-statistic:**
* t = r * √(n - 2) / √(1 - r²)
* t = -0.482 * √8 / √(1 - (-0.482)²)
* t = -0.482 * 2.828 / √(1 - 0.2323)
* t = -1.363 / √0.7677
* t = -1.363 / 0.87

I'll use the data to determine the equation of the LSRL, predict when the prison population reached one and a half million, interpret the slope, and assess the model's appropriateness.

a) The equation of the LSRL is: Prison Population = -45371862.57 + 23430.79 * Year
b) The predicted year when the prison population reached 1.5 million is: 1993
c) Interpretation of slope: The prison population is estimated to increase by 23430.79 per year.

In 2001, there were 878,400 African Americans in the prison population.
Based on the scatterplot, the residual plot, and the value of the coefficient of determination (r^2), the LSRL appears to be a good fit for the data. However, there is a slight bend in the residual plot, indicating that a non-linear model might be slightly better.
The statistics provided clearly demonstrate that mass incarceration has disproportionately affected communities of color. Black men, who make up only 6.5% of the US population, account for 40.2% of the prison population. The lifetime likelihood of imprisonment for Black men is significantly higher than for White men, and the same trend is observed for women. These statistics highlight the urgent need for criminal justice reform to address the racial disparities in the US prison system.

* **Intercept:** Represents the estimated sales of Kahwa when all independent variables (advertising spending, number of sales representatives, and customer satisfaction) are zero.
* **Advertising:**
* **Coefficient:** Represents the estimated increase in sales for each unit increase in advertising spending, holding other variables constant.
* **Standard Error:** Measures the variability of the estimated coefficient.
* **t-statistic:** Tests the statistical significance of the coefficient. A higher t-statistic (in absolute value) indicates stronger evidence that advertising spending has a significant impact on sales.
* **P-value:** The probability of observing a t-statistic as extreme or more extreme than the one observed, assuming the null hypothesis (that the coefficient is zero) is true. A low p-value (typically less than 0.05) suggests that advertising spending has a statistically significant impact on sales.
* **Number of Sales Representatives:**
* Interpretation similar to the "Advertising" coefficient.
* **Customer Satisfaction:**
* Interpretation similar to the "Advertising" coefficient.

| Regression | [Value] | [Value] | [Value] | [Value] | [Value] |
| Residual | [Value] | [Value] | [Value] | | |
| Total | [Value] | [Value] | | | |
* **Model Sum of Squares (Regression SS):** Variation in sales explained by the regression model (i.e., by the independent variables).
* **Residual Sum of Squares (Residual SS):** Variation in sales not explained by the model (i.e., unexplained by the independent variables).
* **Total Sum of Squares (Total SS):** Total variation in sales.
* **Degrees of Freedom (df):**
* Model df: Number of independent variables (3 in this case)
* Residual df: Number of observations - number of predictors - 1
* Total df: Number of observations - 1
* **Mean Square (MS):** Sum of Squares divided by degrees of freedom.
* **F-statistic:** Tests the overall significance of the regression model. A higher F-statistic with a low p-value indicates that the model is statistically significant in explaining the variation in sales.
* **P-value:** The probability of observing an F-statistic as large as the one obtained, assuming the null hypothesis that the model has no explanatory power. A low p-value indicates that the model is statistically significant.
**Key Considerations:**
* **Statistical Significance:** Look for low p-values (typically less than 0.05) for both individual coefficients and the overall model (F-statistic). This indicates that the independent variables have a statistically significant impact on sales.
* **Coefficient Interpretation:** Pay close attention to the signs and magnitudes of the coefficients. A positive coefficient indicates a positive relationship between the independent variable and sales.
* **Model Fit:** Evaluate the R-squared and Adjusted R-squared values to assess how well the model fits the data.
* **Residual Analysis:** Examine the residuals (the difference between actual and predicted sales) to check for any patterns or trends. Ideally, residuals should be randomly distributed around zero.
By analyzing the regression statistics and ANOVA table, you can gain valuable insights into the factors that drive sales of Kashmiri Kahwa and make informed decisions regarding marketing and sales strategies.
**Note:** To obtain the actual numerical values for the coefficients, standard errors, t-statistics, p-values, and ANOVA table, you would need to run the regression analysis using statistical software such as R, Python (with libraries like statsmodels or scikit-learn), or specialized statistical packages.
Question 1206032: If the regression is Y = 3 + 4X then for a unit increase in X, Y will increase by 4 units - do you agree, why or why not?
Found 2 solutions by math_tutor2020, josgarithmetic:
Answer by math_tutor2020(3816) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I agree.
We can look at an example involving something like x = 5
y = 3+4x = 3+4*5 = 23
Then increase x by 1 to try x = 6,
y = 3+4x = 3+4*6 = 27
y has increased by 4 since 27-23 = 4
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Or,
y = mx+b has slope m
y = 3+4x aka y = 4x+3 has slope 4
which can be broken down as follows.
slope = rise/run
slope = (change in y)/(change in x)
slope = 4/1
slope = 4
Equate the corresponding values to see that:
rise = change in y = 4
run = change in x = 1
Therefore, each time x goes up by 1, y goes up by 4.

Question 1202362: At a baseball game, a vender sold a combined total of 179 sodas and hot dogs. The number of sodas sold was 35 more than the number of hot dogs sold. Find the number of sodas sold and the number of hot dogs sold.
Answer by math_helper(2461)  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
H = # of hot dogs sold
H + 35 = # of sodas sold
(H+35) + H = 179
2H + 35 = 179
2H = 179 - 35
2H = 144
H = 144/2
H = 72 --> H+35 = 107
Ans: 72 hot dogs and 107 sodas were sold
Question 1201133: The population of the Bothellville neighborhood has been growing steadily since 1985. In 1992, the population was 42300 people. In 2000, it was 57500 people. Find an equation in the form
y =mx +b where x is the number of years past 1985 and y is the population of Bothellville.
Answer by josgarithmetic(39617) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Points on a line, (1992, 42300) and (2000, 57500);
easier if you put a reset of the x variables component to match 0 for 1985.
Then your two points are (7, 42300) and (15, 57500).
You could choose to use the point-slope form for a line and convert to slope-intercept form.

Answer: -24.960
============================================================
Explanation:
x = total length (cm)
y = weight (kg)
Use technology to find the equation of the regression line
I used GeoGebra to get y = 1.69417x - 142.47092 approximately.
You could use a spreadsheet program or any linear regression calculator to get the same thing.
I'll go into further detail where this equation comes from in the next section below.
Plug in x = 149.0 to find that,
y = 1.69417x - 142.47092
y = 1.69417*149.0 - 142.47092
y = 109.96041
The length of x = 149.0 cm leads to a predicted weight of about y = 109.96041 kg
The true weight associated with this x value should be y = 85 kg instead.
The residual is the error between the observed y value and predicted y value
residual = (observed y value) - (predicted y value)
residual = 85 - 109.96041
residual = -24.96041
residual = -24.960
This is approximate and rounded to three decimal places (nearest thousandth)
---------------------------------------------
This section will go into further detail where the regression line came from.
Depending on your teacher, this section is optional.
In real world settings, you won't need to know the formulas. It's much more efficient to use calculators, software, or spreadsheets.
However, it's still good to know what's going on under the hood. I'll leave out the proofs and derivations of each formula.
Those are better suited for calculus and linear algebra settings.
Here's the original data set of x and y values paired up together
| x | y | | 139 | 110 | | 138 | 60 | | 139 | 90 | | 120.5 | 60 | | 149 | 85 | | 141 | 100 | | 141 | 95 | | 150 | 85 | | 166 | 155 | | 151.5 | 140 | | 129.5 | 105 | | 150 | 110 |
We'll form the following columns:
x^2
xy
The x^2 column is where we square each x value
eg: 139 squares to 139^2 = 139*139 = 19321
The xy column has us multiply each x and y value together (separately per row).
Eg: 139.0*110 = 15290 in the first row of this column.
I strongly recommend using spreadsheet software rather than doing it all by hand.
Here's what all that looks like
| x | y | x^2 | xy | | 139 | 110 | 19321 | 15290 | | 138 | 60 | 19044 | 8280 | | 139 | 90 | 19321 | 12510 | | 120.5 | 60 | 14520.25 | 7230 | | 149 | 85 | 22201 | 12665 | | 141 | 100 | 19881 | 14100 | | 141 | 95 | 19881 | 13395 | | 150 | 85 | 22500 | 12750 | | 166 | 155 | 27556 | 25730 | | 151.5 | 140 | 22952.25 | 21210 | | 129.5 | 105 | 16770.25 | 13597.5 | | 150 | 110 | 22500 | 16500 |
Next we add up the values of each column
P = sum of the x values = 1714.5
Q = sum of the y values = 1195
R = sum of the x^2 values = 246447.75
S = sum of the xy values = 173257.5
The linear regression equation is of the form y = mx+b
m = slope
b = y intercept
To calculate m and b, we use these two formulas
where P,Q,R,S were mentioned in the previous paragraph above.
The numerators are different, but the denominators are identical.
The n refers to the sample size. It's the number of x,y pairs of values. In this case we have n = 12 such items.
So,
is the approximate slope
And,
is the approximate y intercept.
Therefore, the template y = mx+b updates to the approximation of y = 1.69417x - 142.47092
This was the linear regression equation (aka line of best fit) mentioned in the previous section.
Follow the steps mentioned in the previous section to get an answer of -24.960

You could find the linear regression equation by hand, but it's a tedious process that may take a while.
I strongly recommend using a graphing calculator or computer software. There are many free options online if you don't have a graphing calculator.
Whichever method you use, the linear regression equation is approximately this:
y = -0.0929x + 5.1832
The correlation coefficient (r value) is a similar story to finding the regression equation. It's better to use a calculator.
You should find that r = -0.1004 approximately
Since this is much closer to r = 0 than it is to r = 1, this makes the negative linear correlation fairly weak.
It's not a good idea to use a linear model here.
Because you mentioned the data is periodic, a sine or cosine model would likely provide a better fit.
Question 1184417: A factory manufactures three types of golf balls: Eagle, Birdie, and Bogey. The daily production is 10,000 balls. The number of Eagle and Birdie balls combined equals the number of Bogey balls produced. If the factory makes three times more Birdie than Eagle balls, find the daily production of each type of ball.
Answer by greenestamps(13200) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
"The number of Eagle and Birdie balls combined equals the number of Bogey balls produced"
That means half of the 10,000 balls are Bogey balls. So 5000 Bogey balls.
"the factory makes three times more Birdie than Eagle balls"
The statement of a math problem should never use that language, because it doesn't mean what most people think it means.
If one number is x and a second number is three times AS GREAT AS the first, then clearly the second number is 3 times x, or 3x.
But if one number is x and a second number is three times GREATER THAN x, then the second number is the first number, plus that number three MORE times -- x+3x=4x.
Unfortunately, in sloppy everyday usage, "3 times as great as" and "3 times greater than" are used to mean the same thing.
So in this case we don't really know whether the ratio of Eagle to Birdie balls is 1:3 or 1:4. In many badly written problems like this, you can tell which is the intended meaning, because only one of the meanings leads to answers that are whole numbers. But in this case both meanings do -- so we can't know what the intended answer is.
Correct answer: x Eagle balls and 4x Birdie balls; 5000 total; so 1000 Eagle balls and 4000 Birdie balls.
Incorrect answer (but very likely the intended one): x Eagle balls and 3x Birdie balls; 5000 total; so 1250 Eagle balls and 3750 Birdie balls.

Question 1166805: Determine the distance of the line 4x - 3y = -5 from the point (2, 1). Write the numerical value only.
Found 2 solutions by Theo, solver91311:
Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! you want to find the equation of the line perpendicular to the equation of the given line that passes through the point (2,1).
you then want to find the intersection of the given line with the line perpendicular to it.
you'll have two points which you will then want to find the distance between.
the slope of the line perpendicular to the given line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line.
translate the equation of the given line into slope intercept form.
start with 4x - 3y = -5
add 3y to both sides of this equation and add 5 to both sides of this equation to get:
4x + 5 = 3y
this is the same as 3y = 4x + 5.
divide both sides of this equation by 3 to get:
y = 4/3 * x + 5
that's the slope intercept form of the equation for the given line.
the slope of the line perpendicular to it will be the negative reciprocal of 4/3 which is equal to -3/4.
the equation for the line perpendicular to the given line will be y = -3/4 * x + b.
you want to find the value of b.
since the perpendicular line goes through the point (2,1), then replace x with 2 and y with 1 to get 1 = -3/4 * 2 + b
solve for b to get b = 1 + 3/4 * 2.
this makes b = 2.5
the equation of the line perpendicular to the given line becomes:
y = -3/4 * x + 2.5
to find the intersection of the line perpendicular to the given line and the given line, solve those two equations simultaneously.
the two equations are:
y = 4/3 * x + 5 (given line)
y = -3/4 * x + 2.5 (line perpendicular to given line)
subtract the second equation from the first to get:
0 = (4/3 - -(3/4)) * x + 2.5
simplify to get:
0 = (4/3 + 3/4) * x + 2.5
simplify further to get:
0 = 25/12 * x + 2.5
solve for x to get:
x = -2.5 / (25/12) = -1.2
that's the x-value of the intersection point.
the y value can be found by replacing x in either equation with -1.2.
in the equation of y = 4/3 * x + 5, replace x with -1.2 to get y = 3.4
in the equation of y = -3/4 * x + 2.5, replace x with -1.2 to get y = 3.4
the y values are the same because the same point is in both lines.
the intersection point is (-1.2, 3.4)
you now have two point that will allow you to find the distance between them.
the points are (-1.2,3.4) and (2,1).
the distance between them is given by the formula d = sqrt((x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2).
that becomes d = sqrt((2+1.2)^2 + (1-3.4)^2) = sqrt(16) = 4
that's the distance between the point (2,1) and the given line.
those equations can be graphed as shown below.

Question 1162744: cot(theta)=-0.3
find theta to the nearest tenth of degree
Found 2 solutions by Theo, Alan3354:
Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! cot(x) = -.3
solve for cot(x) = .3
since cot(x) = 1/tan(x), solve for 1/tan(x) = .3
multiply both sides by tan(x) and divide both sides by .5 to get:
tan(x) = 1/.3 = 73.30075577 degrees.
that's in the first quadrant which makes it the reference angle.
cotangent is negative in the second and fourth quadrants.
your angle will therefore be in the second and fourth quadrant.
the equivalent angle in the second quadrant is 180 minus 73.30075577 = 106.6992442 degrees.
the equivalent angle in the fourth quadrant is 360 minus 73.30075577 = 286.6992442 degrees.
use your calculator to find 1/tan(each of those angles) = -.3
this is cot(x) = -.3 looks like on a graph.
note that this is only in the 0 to 360 degree range.
since the cot(x) funcion repeats every 180 degrees, then the full answer would be:
cot(x) = 106.6992442 degrees plus or minus 180 * k where k is a positive integer greater than or equal to 0.
alternatively, you could say:
cot(x) = 286.6992442 degrees plus or minus 180 * k where k is a posiive integer greater than or equal to 0.
for example, when the angle is 106.699 degrees, then:
k = 0 gets you 106.699
k = 1 gets you 286.699
k = 2 gets you 466.699
k = 3 gets you 646.699
k = -1 gets you -73.305
k = -2 gets you -253.301
this can be seen on the graph.
the primary domain of x would be 0 to 180 degrees.
that gets you 106.699 = 106.7 degrees as the most likely answer.
since the domain of x was not specified, however, then the answer as shown below would be applicable.
cot(x) = 106.7 degrees plus or minus 180 * k where k is a positive integer greater than or equal to 0.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the capacity in liter of a bucket 24cm in diameter at the top,16cm in diameter at the bottom and 18cm deep.
------------
r1 = 12 cm
r2 = 8 cm
h = 18 cm
----
 cubic cms
1000 cubic cms = 1 liter
========================================
If you don't have that formula, you can find the volume of the extended cone to a point, then subtract the volume of the cone with a 16 cm diameter base.
Question 1161446: Business. A small company has an assembly line that
produces three types of widgets. The basic widget is sold for
$10 per unit, the midprice widget for $12 per unit, and the
top-of-the-line widget for $15 per unit. The assembly line
has a daily capacity of producing 325 widgets that may be
sold for a total of $3825. Find the quantity of each type of
widget produced on a day when twice as many basic widgets
as top-of-the-line widgets are produced.
Answer by ikleyn(52781) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
Let x be the number of the top-of-the-line widgets.
Then the number of the basic widgets is 2x, according to the condition,
and the rest (325-x-2x) = (325-3x) widgets are mid-price.
Then the total revenue equation is
10*(2x) + 12*(325-3x) + 15x = 3825 dollars.
From the equation,
x =  = 75.
ANSWER. 75 top-of-the-line widgets; 2*75 = 150 basic widgets; and the rest (325 - 75 - 150) = 100 are mid-price widgets.
Solved // using one single equation in one unknown (!)
Question 1154555: Chole is 5 years older than Mia and Emma is triple choles age. Double the sum of Chloe's and Mia's age is 1 more then Emma's age. What are their ages now?
Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Chole is 5 years older than Mia
----
C = M + 5
---
and Emma is triple choles age.
---
E = 3C
---
Double the sum of Chloe's and Mia's age is 1 more then Emma's age.
---
2*(C+M) = E + 1
---
What are their ages now?
----------
2*(C+M) = E + 1
2*(C+M) = 3C + 1
2*(M+5 + M) = 3(M+5) + 1
4M+10 = 3M+16
M = 6
C = 11
E = 33

It is very standard Calculus problem, typical for beginner Calculus students,
and the solution by @MathLover1 is A B S O L U T E L Y W R O N G.
Below find the correct solution, instead.
Consider ANTIderivative, which is the general solution to the given differential equation
y = 2x^3 + 2x^2 - 5x + C, (1)
where C is an arbitrary constant.
We define the value of this constant from the given condition y= 10 at x= 2.
Substitute x= 2 into (1) to get
10 = 2^2^3 + 2*2^2 - 5x + c,
10 = 2*8 + 2*4 - 5*2 + C = 16 + 8 - 10 + C = C + 14,
which implies
C = 10 - 14 = -4.
So, the specific solution to the given differential equation under the given condition at the point x= 2 is
y = 2x^3 + 2x^2 - 5x - 4. (2)
Now the value of y at x= 3 is
y = 2*3^3 + 2*3^2 - 5*3 - 4 = 53. ANSWER
Solved, answered, explained (in all details) and completed.

Having this text before your eyes, printed or in the screen of your computer,
you may boldly go to a Calculus class and to give a PRESENTATION (a lecture)
to students, using my post as a mantra, even if you do not understand the subject, at all.
You may use this post for many other similar problems, with the equal success.
(It is partly a joke, of course, but partly is TRUTH, in great part . . . )

Find the equations whose perpendicular distance is of length 3 units and at 60(degree) from the x-axis.
Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the equations whose perpendicular distance is of length 3 units and at 60(degree) from the x-axis.
================
A perpendicular distance of 3 units implies it's parallel to the x-axis. If it's not parallel, the distance varies.
No solution.
