1 answer:

8 0

There is an estimated rise of 3.58 hatched eggs for every one degree Fahrenheit increment every day. Then the correct option is B.

<h3>What is the linear system?</h3>

A linear system is one in which the parameter in the equation has a degree of one. It might have one, two, or even more variables.

A scientist is interested in the relationship between the number of eggs hatched per day for frogs (y) and temperature.

Based on the collected data, the least-squares regression line is y = 15.66 +3.58x, where x is the number of degrees by which temperature exceeds 60 degrees Fahrenheit.

For each increase of one degree Fahrenheit per day, there is an estimated increase of 3.58 hatched eggs.

Thus, the correct option is B.

The length of the sides of a triangle are 2x +y/2, 5x/3+y + ½ and 2/3x +2y +5/2. If the triangle is equilateral, find its perime

Sav [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the triangle is equilateral :

2x +y/2 = 5x/3+y + ½ = 2/3x +2y +5/2

so the perimeter is : P = 3(2x +y/2) or 3(5x/3+y + ½) or 3(2/3x +2y +5/2)

the simplest is : P = 3(2x +y/2)

P = 6x + (3y)/2

Suppose the average tread-life of a certain brand of tire is 42,000 miles and that this mileage follows the exponential probabil

Ahat [919]

Answer: The probability that a randomly selected tire will have a tread-life of less than 65,000 miles is 0.7872 .

Step-by-step explanation:

The cumulative distribution function for exponential distribution is :-

$P(X\leq x)=1-e^{\frac{-x}{\lambda}}$ , where $\lambda$ is the mean of the distribution.

As per given , we have

Average tread-life of a certain brand of tire : $\lambda=\text{42,000 miles }$

Now , the probability that a randomly selected tire will have a tread-life of less than 65,000 miles will be :

$P(X\leq 65000)=1-e^{\frac{-65000}{42000}}\\\\=1-e^{-1.54761}\\\\=1-0.212755853158\\\\=0.787244146842\approx0.7872$

Hence , the probability that a randomly selected tire will have a tread-life of less than 65,000 miles is 0.7872 .

On a number line, point D is at -3, and point E is at 6. The point F lies on DE. The ratio of DF to FE is 2:3. Where does point

expeople1 [14]

Answer: point F is at <u> 0.6 </u> on the number line

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

Explanation:

The ratio 2:3 scales up to 2x:3x for some positive real number x.

This means the distance from D to F is 2x units, and the distance from F to E is 3x units. Combine those two smaller distances to get 2x+3x = 5x to represent the full distance from D to E.

D is at -3 and E is at 6. This is a distance of 9 units since |-3-6| = |-9| = 9

Set this equal to the 5x from earlier and solve

5x = 9

x = 9/5

x = 1.8

This leads to 2x = 2*1.8 = 3.6

Therefore, we'll move 3.6 units from -3 to -3+3.6 = 0.6 which is the location of point F on the number line.

Notice that from 0.6 to 6 is 5.4 units and that 3x = 3*1.8 = 5.4 matches up to help confirm the answer.

Solve the system of equations. x+y=4 y=x^2 - 8x + 16 a) {(-3,7).(-4, 8)} b) [(4,0)} c) {(3,1),(4,0) d) {(3,7). (4.0)} e) none

Marysya12 [62]

Answer: The required solution of the given system is

(x, y) = (3, 1) and (4, 0).

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to solve the following system of equations :

$x+y=4~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)\\\\y=x^2-8x+16~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)$

From equation (i), we have

$x+y=4\\\\\Rightarrow y=4-x~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(iii)$

Substituting the value of y from equation (iii) in equation (ii), we get

$y=x^2-8x+16\\\\\Rightarrow 4-x=x^2-8x+16\\\\\Rightarrow x^2-8x+16-4+x=0\\\\\Rightarrow x^2-7x+12=0\\\\\Rightarrow x^2-4x-3x+12=0\\\\\Rightarrow x(x-4)-3(x-4)=0\\\\\Rightarrow (x-3)(x-4)=0\\\\\Rightarrow x-3=0,~~~~~~~x-4=0\\\\\Rightarrow x=3,~4.$
