Mathematics

Answer:

  13

Step-by-step explanation:

Perhaps the most straightforward way to find the value of the given function is to first solve the equations for x and y. The results can be substituted into your expression to find the value you want.

__

<h3>solving the system</h3>

We notice the y-coefficients are opposites, so we can eliminate the y-variable by adding the equations.

  (2x -y) +(x +y) = (3) +(1)

  3x = 4 . . . . . . simplify

  x = 4/3 . . . . . divide by 3

The value of y can be found from the second equation:

  4/3 +y = 1 . . . . substitute for x

  y = -1/3 . . . . . . subtract 4/3

<h3>expression value</h3>

The value of 8x-7y is found by substituting the x- and y-values into this expression:

  8(4/3) -7(-1/3) = 32/3 +7/3 = 39/3 = 13

The value of 8x-7y is 13.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

You can also work out what combination of the two equations will give 8x -7y. That turns out to be 5 times the first minus 2 times the second:

  5(2x -y) -2(x +y) = 5(3) -2(1)

  10x -5y -2x -2y = 15 -2

  8x -7y = 13

__

The coefficients 5 and -2 are found by solving the system of equations ...

  a(2x -y) +b(x +y) ≡ 8x -7y   ⇒   {2a +b = 8, -a +b = -7}

A positive integer from one to six is to be chosen by casting a die. Thus the elements c of the sample space C are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that six integers 1,2,3,4,5 and 6.

We are given that sample space

C={1,2,3,4,5,6}

Probability of each element=\frac{1}{6}

We have to find that P(C_1),P(C_2),P(C_1\cap C_2) \;and\; P(C_1\cup C_2)

Total number of elements=6

C_1={1,2,3,4}

Number of elements in C_1=4

P(E)=\frac{number\;of\;favorable \;cases}{Total;number \;of\;cases}

Using the formula

P(C_1)=\frac{4}{6}=\frac{2}{3}

C_2={3,4,5,6}

Number of elements in C_2=4

P(C_2)=\frac{4}{6}=\frac{2}{3}

C_1\cap C_2={3,4}

Number of elements in (C_1\cap C_2)=2

P(C_1\cap C_2)=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}

C_1\cup C_2={1,2,3,4,5,6}

P(C_1\cup C_2)=\frac{6}{6}=1
