Concept explainers

Equations and Inequations

Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.

Linear Functions

A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.

Textbook Question

Chapter 8.2, Problem 1MC

Student were asked to write an algebraic expression for the sum of five consecutive natural numbers .One student wrote x + ( x + 1 ) + ( x + 2 ) + ( x + 3 ) + ( x + 4 ) = 5 x + 10 . Another wrote ( x − 2 ) + ( x − 1 ) + x + ( x + 1 ) + ( x + 2 ) = 5 x .

a. Explain who is correct and why.

b. Does either approach prove that the sum of five consecutive integers equals 5 times the middle term?

c. Does the statement in part (b) generalize to the sum of consecutive term in every arithmetic sequence? Justify answer.

Apply STATA commands & submit the output for each question only when indicated below i. Apply the command egen to create a variable called "wyd" which is the rowtotal function on variables bwght & faminc. ii. Apply the list command for the first 10 observations to show that the code in part i worked. Include the outcome of this code iii. Apply the egen command to create a new variable called "bwghtsum" using the sum function on variable bwght by the variable high_faminc (Note: need to apply the bysort' statement) iv. Apply the "by high_faminc" statement to find the V. descriptive statistics of bwght and bwghtsum Include the output of this code. Why is there a difference between the standard deviations of bwght and bwghtsum from part iv of this question?
