Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It’s easier to isolate y in the first equation because the coefficient of y there is just 1.

the coefficient of x in the first equation is -3 and in the second equation is 2 then it’s not easy to isolate x in both equation.

solving the system:

−3x + y = 9

2x + 4y = 8

⇔

y = 3x + 9 (*)

2x + 4y = 8

now, we substitute y by 3x + 9 in equation 2:

2x + 4(3x + 9) = 8 ⇔ 14x + 36 = 8 ⇔ 14x = - 28 ⇔ x = -28/14 = -2

at this stage we substitute x by -2 in (*) to get y:

y = 3x + 9 ⇒ y = 3(-2) + 9 = -6 + 9 = 3

finally, the solution of the system is the ordered pair (-2 , 3).

For the first one is definitely 0.12
The second one I was having trouble with, but I know it is not .25 or .75. Looking at the leftover answers I would say .36 because I already used .12. Also .52 and .25 are the givens.

Answer:

X ~ B(n, p)

Given: X ~ B(2, 5/17)

⇒ n = 2

⇒ p = 5/17

Binomial distribution formula:

$\sf P(X = x) = nC_x (1-p)^{(n-x)}p^x$

As n = 2, calculate P(X = 0), P(X = 1) and P(X = 2):

$\sf P(X = 0) = 2C0 (\frac{12}{17})^{(2-0)}(\frac{5}{17})^0=\dfrac{144}{289}}$

$\sf P(X = 1) = 2C1 (\frac{12}{17})^{(2-1)}(\frac{5}{17})^1=\dfrac{120}{289}}$

$\sf P(X = 2) = 2C2 (\frac{12}{17})^{(2-2)}(\frac{5}{17})^2=\dfrac{25}{289}}$

Without graphing f(x)=3x-1.3, determine if the graph goes through each point. <br> (0,-1.3)

jekas [21]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation, -1.3 is the y-intercept. The y-intercept always has a x value of 0. On the point (0,-1.3), it matches the y-intercept and is therefore part of the function/equation.

Hope this helps :)
