What is the solution to the system of equations? you must show all work to recieve full credit!

1 answer:

5 0

Use the substitution method:
2x - 6y = -12
x - 2y = -8
Then x = 2y - 8
Substitute in the first equation:
2(2y - 8) - 6y = -12
4y - 16 - 6y = -12
-2y = 4
y = -2
Now substitute y in one of the two equations given you prefer:
For example x-2*(-2) = -8
x + 4 = -8
x = -12
The solutions are x = -12 and y = -2

The latest poll from ESPN asked fans what their favorite sport was, considering pro, college and highschool levels. Out of 1000

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Confidence interval is $0.2911$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 32% of fans sport is basketball as favorite sport. So total number of fans is,

$32\%\times 1000$

$= \dfrac{32}{100}\times 1000$

$=320$

So 320 fans favorite sport is basket ball.

Now find sample proportion ,

$\widehat{p}=\dfrac{number\:of\:people\:in\:the\:sample}{total\:number\:of\:people}$

Substituting the value,

$\widehat{p}=\dfrac{320}{1000}$

$\widehat{p}=0.320$

Formula for confidence interval is,

$CI=\widehat{p}\pm z\sqrt{\dfrac{\widehat{p}\left (1-\widehat{p}\right )}{n}}$

To calculate the z value.

$Confidence Level=1-\alpha$

$0.95=1-\alpha$

$0.05=\alpha$

Now divide above value by 2,

$\dfrac{0.05}{2}=\dfrac{\alpha}{2}$

$0.025=\dfrac{\alpha}{2}$

To find the value of z score calculate the area under the curve as follows

$A=\dfrac{1+CL}{2}$

$A=\dfrac{1+0.95}{2}$

$A=\dfrac{1.95}{2}$

$A=0.975$

On z table, find the value of 0.975. So the row corresponding to 0.975 is 1.9 and column corresponding to 0.975 is 0.06. Adding these two values the z score is 1.96.

or find the value from excel by using command as follows,

=NORM.S.INV(0.025)= -1.959963985

Now substituting the value,

$CI=0.320\pm 1.96\sqrt{\dfrac{0.320\left (1-0.320\right )}{1000}}$

$CI=0.320\pm 0.02891$

Lower end of the interval is,

$CI=0.320- 0.02891$

$CI=0.2911$

Upper end of the interval is,

$CI=0.320+ 0.02891$

$CI=0.3489$

Therefore 95% confidence interval is $0.2911$

$ax^2+bx+c=0\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-b-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a};\ x_2=\dfrac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$We\ have:\\\\15x^2+7x-12=0\\\\a=15;\ b=7;\ c=-12\\\\substitute\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-7-\sqrt{7^2-4\cdot15\cdot(-12)}}{2\cdot15}=\dfrac{-7-\sqrt{49-5(15)(-12)}}{30}\\\\x_2=\dfrac{-7+\sqrt{49-4(15)(-12)}}{30}$
