Solve the system of equations by using substitution.<br> x+8y=-2<br> x-3y=20

zysi [14]

Answer:

(14, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve by using substitution, begin by solving for a variable in the first equation. Let's solve for x:

$x+8y=-2\\x=-2-8y$

Now we know what <em>x</em> equals. Let's substitute this into the second equation:

$x-3y=20\\(-2-8y)-3y=20$

We can then simplify:

$-2-8y-3y=20$ Given equation

$-2-11y=20$ Combine y terms

$-11y=22$ Add 2

$y=-2$ Divide by -11

So, we now know the value of y = -2.

To find the value of X, we can substitute the value of Y into one of the equations. Let's use the first one:

$x+8y=-2$

$x+8(-2)=-2$ Substitute for y

$x-16=-2$ Distribute 8

$x=14$ Add 16

So, we now know the value of x = 14.

Therefore, we know a solution to the system of equations is (14, -2).

In a study of the accuracy of fast food drive-through orders, McDonald’s had 33 orders that were not accurate among 362 orders o

melomori [17]

Answer:

A. We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion of inaccurate orders p is 0.1.

B. Null hypothesis: $p=0.1$

Alternative hypothesis: $p \neq 0.1$

C. $z=\frac{0.0912 -0.1}{\sqrt{\frac{0.1(1-0.1)}{362}}}=-0.558$

D. $z_{\alpha/2}=-1.96$ $z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96$

E. Fail to the reject the null hypothesis

F. So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we have $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the true proportion of inaccurate orders is not significantly different from 0.1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=362 represent the random sample taken

X=33 represent the number of orders not accurate

$\hat p=\frac{33}{363}=0.0912$ estimated proportion of orders not accurate

$p_o=0.10$ is the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.05$ represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value (variable of interest)

A: Write the claim as a mathematical statement involving the population proportion p

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion of inaccurate orders p is 0.1.

B: State the null (H0) and alternative (H1) hypotheses

Null hypothesis: $p=0.1$

Alternative hypothesis: $p \neq 0.1$

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:

$z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}$ (1)

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion $\hat p$ is significantly different from a hypothesized value $p_o$ .

C: Find the test statistic

Since we have all the info required we can replace in formula (1) like this:

$z=\frac{0.0912 -0.1}{\sqrt{\frac{0.1(1-0.1)}{362}}}=-0.558$

D: Find the critical value(s)

Since is a bilateral test we have two critical values. We need to look on the normal standard distribution a quantile that accumulates 0.025 of the area on each tail. And for this case we have:

$z_{\alpha/2}=-1.96$ $z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96$

P value

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.

The significance level provided $\alpha=0.05$ . The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.

Since is a bilateral test the p value would be:

$p_v =2*P(z$

E: Would you Reject or Fail to Reject the null (H0) hypothesis.

Fail to the reject the null hypothesis

F: Write the conclusion of the test.

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we have $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the true proportion of inaccurate orders is not significantly different from 0.1.

Marsha wants to determine the vertex of the quadratic function f(x) = x2 – x + 2. What is the function’s vertex?

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

$Vertex = (\frac{1}{2},\frac{7}{4})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$f(x) = x^2 - x +2$

Required

The vertex

We have:

$f(x) = x^2 - x +2$

First, we express the equation as:

$f(x) = a(x - h)^2 +k$

Where

$Vertex = (h,k)$

So, we have:

$f(x) = x^2 - x +2$

--------------------------------------------

Take the coefficient of x: -1

Divide by 2: (-1/2)

Square: (-1/2)^2

Add and subtract this to the equation

--------------------------------------------

$f(x) = x^2 - x +2$

$f(x) = x^2 - x + (-\frac{1}{2})^2+2 -(-\frac{1}{2})^2$

$f(x) = x^2 - x + \frac{1}{4}+2 -\frac{1}{4}$

Expand

$f(x) = x^2 - \frac{1}{2}x- \frac{1}{2}x + \frac{1}{4}+2 -\frac{1}{4}$

Factorize

$f(x) = x(x - \frac{1}{2})- \frac{1}{2}(x - \frac{1}{2})+2 -\frac{1}{4}$

Factor out x - 1/2

$f(x) = (x - \frac{1}{2})(x - \frac{1}{2})+2 -\frac{1}{4}$

$f(x) = (x - \frac{1}{2})^2+2 -\frac{1}{4}$

$f(x) = (x - \frac{1}{2})^2+ \frac{8 -1 }{4}$

$f(x) = (x - \frac{1}{2})^2+ \frac{7}{4}$

Compare to: $f(x) = a(x - h)^2 +k$

$h = \frac{1}{2}$

$k = \frac{7}{4}$

Hence:

$Vertex = (\frac{1}{2},\frac{7}{4})$

Which of the following represents the sum of the polynomials below?

zysi [14]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to align the like terms next to each other so that it will be easier to combine like terms. (Like terms have the same variables and powers)

$6x^3+(-2x^3)+2x^2+5x^2+9x+3x$

Combine like terms:

(When combining like terms all you have to do is add/subtract the coefficients, number in front of variables, and leave the variable and exponents)

$6x^3+(-2x^3)= > 6x^3-2x^3=4x^3$

$2x^2+5x^2=7x^2$

$9x+3x=12x$

So, we get $4x^3+7x^2+12x$
