For what value of the constant a will the system of linear equations 6x-5y=3 and 3x+ay=1 have no solution

1 answer:

5 0

The value of the constant a will the system of linear equations 6x-5y=3 and 3x+ay=1 have no solution is -5/2

<h3>System of equation</h3>

For a system of equation to have no solution, the expression on both sides must be different.

Given the system of equation

6x-5y=3 and

3x+ay=1

For the equations to have no solution, the a1/a2= b1/b2

Substitute

6/3 = -5/a

Cross multiply

2 = -5/a

a= -5/2

Hence the value of the constant a will the system of linear equations 6x-5y=3 and 3x+ay=1 have no solution is -5/2

Calculating cos-1 ( help is gladly appreciated :) )

Answer:

$\frac{3\pi}{4}$

(Assuming you want your answer in radians)

If you want the answer in degrees just multiply your answer in radians by $\frac{180^\circ}{\pi}$ giving you:

$\frac{3\pi}{4} \cdot \frac{180^\circ}{\pi}=\frac{3(180)}{4}=135^{\circ}$ .

We can do this since $\pi \text{ rad }=180^\circ$ (half the circumference of the unit circle is equivalent to 180 degree rotation).

Step-by-step explanation:

$\cos^{-1}(x)$ is going to output an angle measurement in $[0,\pi]$ .

So we are looking to solve the following equation in that interval:

$\cos(x)=-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ .

This happens in the second quadrant on the given interval.

The solution to the equation is $\frac{3\pi}{4}$ .

So we are saying that $\cos(\frac{3\pi}{4})=\frac{-\sqrt{2}}{2}$ implies $\cos^{-1}(\frac{-\sqrt{2}}{2})=\frac{3\pi}{4}$ since $\frac{3\pi}{4} \in [0,\pi]$ .

Answer is $\frac{3\pi}{4}$ .

A manufacturer produces a commodity where the length of the commodity has approximately normal distribution with a mean of 6.5 i

zavuch27 [327]

The probablity that the sample's mean length is greate than 6.3 inches is0.8446.

Given mean of 6.5 inches,standard deviation of 0.5 inches and sample size of 46.

We have to calculate the probability that the sample's mean length is greater than 6.3 inches is 0.8446.

Probability is the likeliness of happening an event. It lies between 0 and 1.

Probability is the number of items divided by the total number of items.

We have to use z statistic in this question because the sample size is greater than 30.

μ=6.5

σ=0.5

n=46

z=X-μ/σ

where μ is mean and

σ is standard deviation.

First we have to find the p value from 6.3 to 6.5 and then we have to add 0.5 to it to find the required probability.

z=6.3-6.5/0.5

=-0.2/0.5

=-0.4

p value from z table is 0.3446

Probability that the mean length is greater than 6.3inches is 0.3446+0.5=0.8446.

Hence the probability that the mean length is greater than 6.3 inches is 0.8446.

6. Describe how we could conduct a simulation to decide whether a simple random sample from this population could produce a samp

BigorU [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have proportion p = 50/100 = 0.50

Probability of success = 1-0.50 = 0.50

To conduct simulation, let's assume experiment is to be done 10 times

1. Use binomial parameters n, number = 10, p = 0.50. we then get the necessary size of population To carry out the sampling.

2. We get a random sample and get the size of people who support an against smoking with kids in the car.

3. We repeat this process after drawing sample and also get the number of those in support of ban.

4. After getting n, we find proportion.
