Answer:

y = -6.5 and x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one negative number be -y and another number be x

We are given that one negative number is 4.5 more than another number

So, -y=x+4.5

We are also given that The sum of the squares of these numbers is 46.25.

So,x^2+(-y)^2=46.25\\x^2+(x+4.5)^2=46.25\\x^2+x^2+20.25+18x=46.25\\2x^2+18x=26.25\\x^2+9x=13.125\\x^2+9x-13.125=0\\

x=-6.5,2

When x = -6.5

-y=x+4.5

-y=-6.5+4.5

-y=-2

y=2

When x = 2

-y=x+4.5

-y=2+4.5

-y=6.5

y=-6.5

So, y = -6.5 and x = 2

The probability distribution for the rate of return on an investment is
babymother [125]

Answer:

a)0.7

b) 10.03

c)  0.0801

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of return   Probability

9.5                           0.1

9.8                           0.2

10                             0.3

10.2                          0.3

10.6                          0.1

a.

P(Rate of return is at least 10%)=P(R=10)+P(R=10.2)+P(R=10.6)

P(Rate of return is at least 10%)=0.3+0.3+0.1

P(Rate of return is at least 10%)=0.7

b)

Expected rate of return=E(x)=sum(x*p(x))

Rate of return(x)   Probability(p(x))    x*p(x)

9.5                           0.1                       0.95

9.8                           0.2                      1.96

10                             0.3                        3

10.2                          0.3                        3.06

10.6                          0.1                       1.06

Expected rate of return=E(x)=sum(x*p(x))

Expected rate of return=0.95+1.96+3+3.06+1.06=10.03

c)

variance of the rate of return=V(x)=sum(x^2p(x))-[sum(x*p(x))]^2

Rate of return(x)   Probability(p(x))    x*p(x)    x²*p(x)

9.5                           0.1                       0.95       9.025

9.8                           0.2                      1.96         19.208

10                             0.3                       3             30

10.2                          0.3                       3.06        31.212

10.6                          0.1                       1.06         11.236

sum[x²*p(x)]=9.025+19.208+30+31.212+11.236=100.681

variance of the rate of return=V(x)=sum(x²*p(x))-[sum(x*p(x))]²

variance of the rate of return=V(x)=100.681-(10.03)²

variance of the rate of return=V(x)=100.681-100.6009

variance of the rate of return=V(x)=0.0801

Kylie explained that (negative 4 x + 9) squared will result in a difference of squares because (negative 4 x + 9) squared = (neg
Eva8 [605]

Given:

The given expression is:

(-4x+9)^2

According to Kylie,

(-4x+9)^2=(-4x)^2+(9)^2

(-4x+9)^2=16x^2+81

To find:

The correct statement for Kylie's explanation.

Solution:

We have,

(-4x+9)^2

According to the perfect square trinomial (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2.

(-4x+9)^2=(-4x)^2+2(-4x)(9)+(9)^2

(-4x+9)^2=16x^2-72x+81

Kylie did not understand that this is a perfect square trinomial, and she did not determine the product correctly.

Therefore, the correct option is C.

Whats slope intercept form for 2x- 5y=10
damaskus [11]

Answer:

y=-2/5x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you put x to the other side of the equation so you get y alone, getting the equation of -5y=-2x+10. In order to just have y on one side, you need to divide the whole equation by -5. This leads to the final answer of y=-2/5x-2.
