We'll use Cramer's rule for 2 equations:

ax + by = e

cx + dy = f

5x -3y = 18 a=5 b=-3 e=18

2x + 7y = -1 c=2 d=7 f=-1

denominator determinant (dn) = (a * d) - (c * b) = 5 * 7 - (2 * -3) = 41

x = [(e * d) - (f * b)] / dn

[18 * 7 - (-1 * -3)] / 41 =

123 / 41 = 3

y = [(a * f) - (c * e)] / dn

= (5 * -1) -(2 * 18) / 41 =

-41 / 41 = -1

Use completing the square to solve the equation x2 - 10x = -8.

Kay [80]

Answer:

x^2 - 10x + 25 = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Please use " ^ " to denote exponentation:

x^2 - 10x = -8

x^2 - 10x + 25 = 17

x^2 - 10x + 25 = -8

x^2 - 10x - 25 = -33

Begin with x^2 - 10x = -8. Here's the process for completing the square:

1. Take half of the coefficient of x and square the result:

(1/2)(-10) = -5, and then (-5)^2 = + 25

2. Add this 25 to the first two terms of x^2 - 10x = -8 and also to the constant -8: x^2 - 10x + 25 = -8 + 25, or x^2 - 10x + 25 = 17

3. Match this result to one of the given possible answers. Turns out that the given possible answer matching our result is the first one:

x^2 - 10x + 25 = 17

Daily low temperatures in Columbus, OH in January 2014 were approximately normally distributed with a mean of 15.45 and a standa

Alona [7]

Answer: 12.10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Mean : $\mu = 15.45$

Standard deviation : $\sigma = 13.70$

The formula to calculate the z-score :-

$z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

For x= 5 degrees

$z=\dfrac{5-15.45}{13.70}=-0.7627737226\approx-0.76$

For x= 10 degrees

$z=\dfrac{10-15.45}{13.70}=-0.397810218\approx-0.40$

The P-value : $P(-0.76$

$=0.3445783-0.2236273=0.120951\approx0.1210$

In percent , $0.1210\times100=12.10\%$

Hence, the percentage of days had a low temperature between 5 degrees and 10 degrees = 12.10%
