Answer:

The solution set is (6,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Begin by multiplying equation 1 by 2. You'll see why in a moment

2y = 2*(1/2) x

2y = x

Substitute this value into equation 2.

2y + 4y = 18 Combine like terms on the left

6y = 18 Divide both sides by 6

6y/6 = 18/6 Do the division

y = 3

To solve for x just use the top equation

y = 1/2x

3 = 1/2x Multiply by 2

3*2 = x

x = 6

Write the quadratic equation whose roots are -3 and 2 , and whose leading coefficient is 5

KiRa [710]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, roots are - 3 & 2

Therefore, (x + 3) & (x - 2) would be factors.

Leading coefficient is 5

Hence, required quadratic equation is:

$5(x + 3)(x - 2) = 0 \\ \therefore \: 5( {x}^{2} - 2x + 3x - 6) = 0\\ \therefore \: 5( {x}^{2} + x - 6) = 0\\ \therefore \: 5 {x}^{2} + 5x - 30 = 0\: \\ is \: the \: required \: quadratic \: equation.$

The computer that controls a bank's automatic teller machine crashes a mean of 0.6 times per day. What is the probability that,

professor190 [17]

Answer:

0.2103 = 21.03% probability that, in any seven-day week, the computer will crash less than 3 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

$\mu$ is the mean in the given interval.

Mean of 0.6 times a day

7 day week, so $\mu = 7*0.6 = 4.2$

What is the probability that, in any seven-day week, the computer will crash less than 3 times? Round your answer to four decimal places.

$P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)$

In which

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-4.2}*(4.2)^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0150$

$P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-4.2}*(4.2)^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.0630$

$P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-4.2}*(4.2)^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.1323$

$P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0150 + 0.0630 + 0.1323 = 0.2103$

0.2103 = 21.03% probability that, in any seven-day week, the computer will crash less than 3 times.
