Answer:

b. (1, 3, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

A graphing calculator or scientific calculator can solve this system of equations for you, or you can use any of the usual methods: elimination, substitution, matrix methods, Cramer's rule.

It can also work well to try the offered choices in the given equations. Sometimes, it can work best to choose an equation other than the first one for this. The last equation here seems a good one for eliminating bad answers:

a: -1 -5(1) +2(-4) = -14 ≠ -18

b: 1 -5(3) +2(-2) = -18 . . . . potential choice

c: 3 -5(8) +2(1) = -35 ≠ -18

d: 2 -5(-3) +2(0) = 17 ≠ -18

This shows choice B as the only viable option. Further checking can be done to make sure that solution works in the other equations:

2(1) +(3) -3(-2) = 11 . . . . choice B works in equation 1

-(1) +2(3) +4(-2) = -3 . . . choice B works in equation 2

Answer:

AC ≈ 2.87

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the sine ratio in the right triangle

sin35° = $\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{AC}{AB}$ = $\frac{AC}{5}$

Multiply both sides by 5

5 × sin35° = AC , thus

AC ≈ 2.87 ( to the nearest hundredth )

A manager at a local company asked his employees how many times they had given blood in the last year. The results of the survey

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

$Var(X) = E(X^2) -[E(X)]^2 = 4.97 -(1.61)^2 =2.3779$

And the deviation would be:

$Sd(X) =\sqrt{2.3779}= 1.542 \approx 1.54$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following distribution given:

X 0 1 2 3 4 5 6

P(X) 0.3 0.25 0.2 0.12 0.07 0.04 0.02

For this case we need to find first the expected value given by:

$E(X) = \sum_{i=1}^n X_i P(X_I)$

And replacing we got:

$E(X)= 0*0.3 +1*0.25 +2*0.2 +3*0.12 +4*0.07+ 5*0.04 +6*0.02=1.61$

Now we can find the second moment given by:

$E(X^2) =\sum_{i=1}^n X^2_i P(X_i)$

And replacing we got:

$E(X^2)= 0^2*0.3 +1^2*0.25 +2^2*0.2 +3^2*0.12 +4^2*0.07+ 5^2*0.04 +6^2*0.02=4.97$

And the variance would be given by:

$Var(X) = E(X^2) -[E(X)]^2 = 4.97 -(1.61)^2 =2.3779$

And the deviation would be:

$Sd(X) =\sqrt{2.3779}= 1.542 \approx 1.54$

What is the equation in standard form of the line that passes through the point (1, 24) and has a slope of -0.6.

lana [24]

Answer:

0.6x+y=24.6

Step-by-step explanation:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-24=-0.6(x-1)

y=-0.6x+0.6+24

y=-0.6x+24.6

y-(-0.6x)=24.6

y+0.6x=24.6

0.6x+y=24.6
