Which brand should Casey buy if brand A has a mean battery life of 96 hours and a standard deviation of 15 hours, and brand B has a mean battery life of 81 hours and a standard deviation of 3 hours?

answer: integers are just whole numbers: positive, negative, and zero.

i = {-∞, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ∞}

let x = 1st integer

let y = 2nd integer

x = 3y + 17   {equation 1}

xy = -24         {equation 2}

substitute 3y+17 in place of x n equation 2

and solve for y.

(3y+17)y = -24

3y2 + 17y = -24

3y2 + 17y + 24 = 0

from quadratic equation:

y = [-17±√(172-4(3)(24))]/(2(3))

y = (-17 ±√1)/6

y = (-17+1)/6   or     y = (-17-1)/6

y = -16/6           or     y = -18/6

y = -2 2/3         or   y = -3

since we are dealing with

y = -3

x = 3y+17 = -9+17 = 8

the integers are -3, 8

step-by-step explanation:

c

step-by-step explanation:

d

step-by-step explanation:

the two points from this line are   (0,4)   & (2,-2)

we can call

now, lets find the slope (m):

now finding b (the y intercept). this is the point at the y-axis where the line cuts the axis. looking at the graph, it is y = 4. so the point is 4. hence b = 4

the slope-intercept form is given by  

putting the points, we have:

d is the correct answer.
