Solve the below system of equations using the best method. Please describe the method used [substitution, graphing, elimination,

etc], and give your answer in the form (x,y).

1). Since you have -2y and 4y, elimination is easy to do for solving for x..
Keep the first equation and multiply the second equation by 2. Then add.

5x - 2y = -1
8x + 4y = 56

10x - 4y = -2
8x + 4y = 56
-----------------
18x       = 54

x = 3

Now we can use substitution to solve for y.
Substitute 3 for x in the first original equation and solve for y.

5x - 2y = -1

5(3) - 2y = -1

15 - 2y = -1

-2y = -16

y = 8

(3, 8)


2.)

3x - y = =16
-4x - y = 21

Multiply both sides of the first equation by -1 to change all signs. Then when you add the equations, you eliminate y and solve for x.

-3x + y = 16
-4x - y = 21
-----------------
-7x       = 37

x = -37/7

Now multiply the first original equation by 4 and the second original by 3 to eliminate x and solve for y.

 12x - 4y = -64
-12x - 3y =  63
---------------------
         -7y   = -1

y = 1/7

Solution: (-37/7, 1/7)

Work out length of BC
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

assume 13 = z \\ 8 =x  \\ bc = y

by phytagorean theorem

{y}^{2}  +  {x}^{2}  = z^{2}

so

bc = y =  \sqrt{ {z}^{2}  -  {x}^{2} } =  \sqrt{169 - 64}   =  \sqrt{105}

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (6,5) and (7,7)
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

The slope of the line is m = 2.

The y-intercept is (0,7).

The equation of the line in the slope-intercept form is y = 2 x - 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line passing through two points P = \left(x_{1}, y_{1}\right) and Q = \left(x_{2}, y_{2}\right)

is given by  m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2} -x_{1} }

We have that x_{1} = 6 , y_{1} = 5y , and y_{2} =7.

Plug the given values into the formula for a slope: m=\frac{7-5}{7-6} =2.

Now, the y-intercept is b=y_{1} -mx_{1} (or b =y_{2} -mx_{2}, the result is the same).

b=5-(2)*(6)=-7

Finally, the equation of the line can be written in the form y=b+mx:

y=2x-7

A population of values has a normal distribution with
Naily [24]

Using the normal distribution, we have that:

  • For a single value, P(X < 79.1) = 0.5517.
  • For the sample of n = 155, P(X < 79.1) = 0.9463.

<h3>Normal Probability Distribution</h3>

The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

  • The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean.
  • Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.
  • By the Central Limit Theorem, the sampling distribution of sample means of size n has standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

The mean and the standard deviation are given, respectively, by:

\mu = 76.2, \sigma = 22.4.

The probability is the <u>p-value of Z when X = 79.1</u>, hence:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = (79.1 - 76.2)/22.4

Z = 0.13

Z = 0.13 has a p-value of 0.5517.

Hence: P(X < 79.1) = 0.5517.

For the sample of 155, applying the Central Limit Theorem, the standard error is:

s = 22.4/sqrt(155) = 1.8

Hence:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = (79.1 - 76.2)/1.8

Z = 1.61

Z = 1.61 has a p-value of 0.9463.

P(X < 79.1) = 0.9463.
