<h3>Answer: No solutions (system is inconsistent)</h3>

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

Explanation:

Rearrange the first equation into $-x^2+y^2 = 16$

So we have this equivalent system

$\begin{cases}-x^2+y^2 = 16\\\\x^2-y^2=16\end{cases}$

If you add the terms straight down, then you'll find that the x^2 and y^2 terms add to 0. The right hand side terms add to 16+16 = 32

We are left with the equation 0 = 32, which is a false equation or contradiction. Therefore, there are no solutions. We say the system is inconsistent. The two graphs do not intersect at all as shown in the diagram below. We have two hyperbolas in which the branches extend off to infinity to slowly approach the asymptotes. They never actually get to the asymptotes, but only get closer.

Suppose the number of children in a household has a binomial distribution with parameters n=12n=12 and p=50p=50%. Find the proba

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

a) 20.95% probability of a household having 2 or 5 children.

b) 7.29% probability of a household having 3 or fewer children.

c) 19.37% probability of a household having 8 or more children.

d) 19.37% probability of a household having fewer than 5 children.

e) 92.71% probability of a household having more than 3 children.

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem, we have that:

$n = 12, p = 0.5$

(a) 2 or 5 children

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 2) = C_{12,2}.(0.5)^{2}.(0.5)^{10} = 0.0161$

$P(X = 5) = C_{12,5}.(0.5)^{5}.(0.5)^{7} = 0.1934$

$p = P(X = 2) + P(X = 5) = 0.0161 + 0.1934 = 0.2095$

20.95% probability of a household having 2 or 5 children.

(b) 3 or fewer children

$P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{12,0}.(0.5)^{0}.(0.5)^{12} = 0.0002$

$P(X = 1) = C_{12,1}.(0.5)^{1}.(0.5)^{11} = 0.0029$

$P(X = 2) = C_{12,2}.(0.5)^{2}.(0.5)^{10} = 0.0161$

$P(X = 3) = C_{12,3}.(0.5)^{3}.(0.5)^{9} = 0.0537$

$P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.0002 + 0.0029 + 0.0161 + 0.0537 = 0.0729$

7.29% probability of a household having 3 or fewer children.

(c) 8 or more children

$P(X \geq 8) = P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) + P(X = 11) + P(X = 12)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 8) = C_{12,8}.(0.5)^{8}.(0.5)^{4} = 0.1208$

$P(X = 9) = C_{12,9}.(0.5)^{9}.(0.5)^{3} = 0.0537$

$P(X = 10) = C_{12,10}.(0.5)^{10}.(0.5)^{2} = 0.0161$

$P(X = 11) = C_{12,11}.(0.5)^{11}.(0.5)^{1} = 0.0029$

$P(X = 12) = C_{12,12}.(0.5)^{12}.(0.5)^{0} = 0.0002$

$P(X \geq 8) = P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) + P(X = 11) + P(X = 12) = 0.1208 + 0.0537 + 0.0161 + 0.0029 + 0.0002 = 0.1937$

19.37% probability of a household having 8 or more children.

(d) fewer than 5 children

$P(X < 5) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{12,0}.(0.5)^{0}.(0.5)^{12} = 0.0002$

$P(X = 1) = C_{12,1}.(0.5)^{1}.(0.5)^{11} = 0.0029$

$P(X = 2) = C_{12,2}.(0.5)^{2}.(0.5)^{10} = 0.0161$

$P(X = 3) = C_{12,3}.(0.5)^{3}.(0.5)^{9} = 0.0537$

$P(X = 4) = C_{12,4}.(0.5)^{4}.(0.5)^{8} = 0.1208$

$P(X < 5) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.0002 + 0.0029 + 0.0161 + 0.0537 + 0.1208 = 0.1937$

19.37% probability of a household having fewer than 5 children.

(e) more than 3 children

Either a household has 3 or fewer children, or it has more than 3. The sum of these probabilities is 100%.

From b)

7.29% probability of a household having 3 or fewer children.

p + 7.29 = 100

p = 92.71

92.71% probability of a household having more than 3 children.

Which equation is the inverse of y = 16x2 + 1?

Llana [10]

Answer:

$y=\frac{\sqrt{x-1} }{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

$y=16x^2+1$

For this function to have an inverse, we must restrict the domain, say $x\ge0$

We interchange x and y to get,

$x=16y^2+1$

We now make y the subject to get;

$x-1=16y^2$

We divide through by 16 to get;

$\frac{x-1}{16}=y^2$

We now take the square root of both sides to get;

$\pm \sqrt{\frac{x-1}{16}}=y$

$y=\pm \frac{\sqrt{x-1} }{4}$

Since $x\ge 0$ , the inverse function is

$y=\frac{\sqrt{x-1} }{4}$

What is the sum of all measures of the interior angles of a regular pentagon?

Ugo [173]

There are 540 degrees total in the interior angles of a regular pentagon.

Just so you know, the total degrees of interior angles goes up by 180 degrees.

A triangle is 180 degrees, a quadrilateral 360, and a pentagon 540.
