Answer:

$\dfrac{18}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture shows three isosceles tirangles with the same legs. The base of each triangle is 12 units, 5x-3 units and 17 units.

Since the angles at vertex of each isosceles triangles are 27°, 28° and 29°, then the lengths of the bases satisfy the double inequality

15<5x-3<17

Add 3 to this inequality

15+3<5x-3+3<17+3

18<5x<20

Divide it by 5:

$\dfrac{18}{5}$

Answer:

System A has 4 real solutions.

System B has 0 real solutions.

System C has 2 real solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

System A:

x^2 + y^2 = 17 eq(1)

y = -1/2x eq(2)

Putting value of y in eq(1)

x^2 +(-1/2x)^2 = 17

x^2 + 1/4x^2 = 17

5x^2/4 -17 =0

Using quadratic formula:

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

a = 5/4, b =0 and c = -17

$x=\frac{-(0)\pm\sqrt{(0)^2-4(5/4)(-17)}}{2(5/4)}\\x=\frac{0\pm\sqrt{85}}{5/2}\\x=\frac{\pm\sqrt{85}}{5/2}\\x=\frac{\pm2\sqrt{85}}{5}$

Finding value of y:

y = -1/2x

$y=-1/2(\frac{\pm2\sqrt{85}}{5})$

$y=\frac{\pm\sqrt{85}}{5}$

System A has 4 real solutions.

System B

y = x^2 -7x + 10 eq(1)

y = -6x + 5 eq(2)

Putting value of y of eq(2) in eq(1)

-6x + 5 = x^2 -7x + 10

=> x^2 -7x +6x +10 -5 = 0

x^2 -x +5 = 0

Using quadratic formula:

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

a= 1, b =-1 and c =5

$x=\frac{-(-1)\pm\sqrt{(-1)^2-4(1)(5)}}{2(1)}\\x=\frac{1\pm\sqrt{1-20}}{2}\\x=\frac{1\pm\sqrt{-19}}{2}\\x=\frac{1\pm\sqrt{19}i}{2}$

Finding value of y:

y = -6x + 5

y = -6(\frac{1\pm\sqrt{19}i}{2})+5

Since terms containing i are complex numbers, so System B has no real solutions.

System B has 0 real solutions.

System C

y = -2x^2 + 9 eq(1)

8x - y = -17 eq(2)

Putting value of y in eq(2)

8x - (-2x^2+9) = -17

8x +2x^2-9 +17 = 0

2x^2 + 8x + 8 = 0

2x^2 +4x + 4x + 8 = 0

2x (x+2) +4 (x+2) = 0

(x+2)(2x+4) =0

x+2 = 0 and 2x + 4 =0

x = -2 and 2x = -4

x =-2 and x = -2

So, x = -2

Now, finding value of y:

8x - y = -17

8(-2) - y = -17

-16 -y = -17

-y = -17 + 16

-y = -1

y = 1

So, x= -2 and y = 1

System C has 2 real solutions

A real estate agent has 1212 properties that she shows. She feels that there is a 50P% chance of selling any one property during

forsale [732]

Answer:

0.6127 = 61.27% probability of selling no more than 6 properties in one week.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each property, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is sold, or it is not. The probability of a property being sold is independent of any other property. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

12 properties

This means that $n = 12$

She feels that there is a 50% chance of selling any one property during a week.

This means that $p = 0.5$

Compute the probability of selling no more than 6 properties in one week.

This is:

$P(X \leq 6) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{12,0}.(0.5)^{0}.(0.5)^{12} = 0.0002$

$P(X = 1) = C_{12,1}.(0.5)^{1}.(0.5)^{11} = 0.0029$

$P(X = 2) = C_{12,2}.(0.5)^{2}.(0.5)^{10} = 0.0161$

$P(X = 3) = C_{12,3}.(0.5)^{3}.(0.5)^{9} = 0.0537$

$P(X = 4) = C_{12,4}.(0.5)^{4}.(0.5)^{8} = 0.1208$

$P(X = 5) = C_{12,5}.(0.5)^{5}.(0.5)^{7} = 0.1934$

$P(X = 6) = C_{12,6}.(0.5)^{6}.(0.5)^{6} = 0.2256$

$P(X \leq 6) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) = 0.0002 + 0.0029 + 0.0161 + 0.0537 + 0.1208 + 0.1934 + 0.2256 = 0.6127$

0.6127 = 61.27% probability of selling no more than 6 properties in one week.

A line passes through the point (-8, 7) and has a slope of negative 3/4Write an equation in slope-intercept form for this line.

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

$y=-\frac{3}{4}x+1$

Step-by-step explanation:

We do not have enough information for slope intercept form. But we can use the point-slope formula to find the information. The formula is $y -y_{1} =m(x -x_{1})$ where we substitute a point (x,y) for $(x_{1},y_{1})$ .
