Answer:  The correct option is

(A) multiply the first equation by 3, and multiply the second equation by 4.

Step-by-step explanation: The given system of linear equations is:

4x+9y=21~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)\\\\3x-8y=1~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)

We are to select the best possible first step to solve the above system by first eliminating x variable.

Since, we need to eliminate x variable first, so will try to make the coefficients of x in both the equations equal. After that, we will subtract one of the equations from the other to eliminate x.

The co-efficient of x in equation (i) is 4,

and

the co-efficient of x in equation (ii) is 3.

So, to make both of them same, we will take the LCM of the coefficients 4 and 3.

We have

LCM(4, 3) = 12.

Now, we will multiply equation (i) by 3 and equation (ii) by 4 to make both the coefficients in equation (i) and (ii) equal to 12.

Thus, we will multiply first equation by 3 and second equation by 4.

Option (A) is CORRECT.

5. A Major League Baseball stadium sells three types of tickets. Reserved tickets are sold for $20 each, field-level tickets are
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer: A) When all three ticket prices generate the same revenue.

Step-by-step explanation:

Reserved tickets cost $20 each.

Field-level tickets cost $50 each.

Seat tickets cost $100 each.

Then if x represents the number of reserved tickets sold, the total revenue for the reserved tickets will be:

R(x) = x*$20

If w represents the number of field-level tickets sold, the total revenue for field-level tickets will be:

F(w) = w*$50

If y represents the number of seat tickets sold, then the total revenue for the seat tickets will be:

S(y) = y*$100

Those equations will intersect when:

R(x) = F(w) = S(y)

This will mean that they will intersect when all three tickets have the same revenue, then the correct option is:

A) When all three ticket prices generate the same revenue.

The number of violent crimes committed in a day possesses a distribution with a mean of 2.2 crimes per day and a standard deviat
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

And replacing we got:

\mu_{\bar X}= 2.2

\sigma_{\bar X}= \frac{6}{\sqrt{100}}= 0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following info given:

\mu = 2.2 represent the mean

\sigma = 6 represent the deviation

We select a sample size of n=100. This sample is >30 so then we can use the central limit theorem. And we want to find the distribution for the sample mean and we know that the distribution is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

And replacing we got:

\mu_{\bar X}= 2.2

\sigma_{\bar X}= \frac{6}{\sqrt{100}}= 0.6

- What is the complete factorization of 4x2 – 24xy + 36y2 ?​
Rzqust [24]

<u>Answer: </u>

The complete factorization of 4 x^{2}-24 x y+36 y^{2} are 4(x-3y)(x+3y)

<u>Solution:</u>

Given Data:

4 x^{2}-24 x y+36 y^{2}

Take common value in all the three term.so we take 4 as common term in the above expression

4 x^{2}-24 x y+36 y^{2}=4\left(x^{2}-6 x y+9 y^{2}\right)

Now factorize the expression \left(x^{2}-6 x y+9 y^{2}\right)

Find the two numbers, whose product should be 9 and sum should be -6.

-3,-3 are the numbers which satisfy the above condition.

When we add -3-3=Sum is 6

Product of -3 \times -3= 9  

-3 , -3 satisfies the condition.

So the expression will become as x^{2}-6 x y+9 y^{2} = x^{2}-3 x y-3 x y+9 y^{2}

Take the common term

x(x-3y)+3y(x-3y)  

(x-3y)(x+3y)  

hence the complete factorization of 4 x^{2}-24 x y+36 y^{2} are 4(x-3y)(x+3y)
