Answer:

x = 3/2

y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Elimination

4x - 2y = 8 | ×1 |

2x + y = 2 | ×2 |

4x - 2y = 8

4x + 2y = 4

__________--

-4y = 4

y = 4/-4

y = -1

Subsitution

2x + y = 2

2x + (-1) = 2

2x = 2 + 1

x = 3/2

What are the solutions to the nonlinear system of equations below?

Sonbull [250]

Substitute y=4x to the second equation:

x^2 + (4x)^2 = 17
x^2 + 16x^2 = 17
17x^2 = 17
x^2 = 17/17
x^2 = 1
x = 1 and -1

When x=1, y=4(1) = 4
When x=-1, y=4(-1) = -4

Thus the solutions would be (1,4) and (-1,-4). That would correspond to D. and A.

A random variable x follows a normal distribution with mean d and standard deviation o=2. It is known that x is less than 5 abou

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

The mean of this distribution is approximately 3.96.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's how to solve this problem using a normal distribution table.

Let $z$ be the

$\displaystyle z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}$ .

In this question, $x = 5$ and $\sigma = 2$ . The equation becomes

$\displaystyle z = \frac{5 - \mu}{2}$ .

To solve for $\mu$ , the mean of this distribution, the only thing that needs to be found is the value of $z$ . Since

The problem stated that $P(X \le 5) = 69.85\% = 0.6985$ . Hence, $P(Z \le z) = 0.6985$ .

The problem is that the normal distribution tables list only the value of $P(0 \le Z \le z)$ for $z \ge 0$ . To estimate $z$ from $P(Z \le z) = 0.6985$ , it would be necessary to find the appropriate

Since $P(Z \le z) = 0.6985$ and is greater than $P(Z \le 0) = 0.50$ , $z > 0$ . As a result, $P(Z \le z)$ can be written as the sum of $P(Z < 0)$ and $P(0 \le Z \le z)$ . Besides, $P(Z < 0) = P(Z \le 0) = 0.50$ . As a result:
