Answer:

a= 5    and   b=1

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we will follow the steps below:

2x + 3y = 7

(a-b)x + (a+b)y = 3a + b - 2​

We should note that since it has infinitely many solutions then,

\frac{a_{1} }{a_{2} }   =  \frac{b_{1} }{b_{2} }  = \frac{c_{1} }{c_{2} }

Hence

2/a-b  =  3/a+b   =     7/3a +b-2

2/a-b  =  3/a+b

cross-multiply

3(a-b) = 2( a+b)

open the bracket

3a - 3b = 2a + 2b

collect like term

3a - 2a = 2b + 3b

a = 5b  -------------------------------------------(1)

Similarly

3/a+b   =     7/3a +b-2

cross-multiply

7(a+b)  = 3(3a+b -2)

7a + 7b = 9a + 3b -6

take all the variables to the left-hand side of the equation

7a - 9a+ 7b-3b =   -6

-2a + 4b = -6 ---------------------------------(2)

but a = 5b

substitute a= 5b in equation (2)   and solve for b

-2(5) + 4b = -6

-10  +  4b  = -6

add 10 to both-side of the equation

-10  + 10+ 4b  = -6+10

4b = 4

divide both-side of the equation by 4

b = 1

substitute b= 1 in equation (1)

a = 5b

a =5(1)

a=5

Therefore,   a= 5    and   b=1

find the value of x2 values that separate the middle 90% from the rest of the distribution for 8 degrees of freedom
Anettt [7]

Answer:

With alpha 0.95 and 8 degrees of freedom χ²= 2.73

And with alpha 0.05 and 8 degrees of freedom χ²=15.51

Step-by-step explanation:

The significance level ∝ = 1- 0.9 = 0.1

But we need the area of the middle so we divide this significance level with 2

so that we get exactly the middle area .

Dividing 0.1/2= 0.05

So we will have two values for chi square

One with  0.9 + 0.05 = 0.95 alpha and one with 0.05 alpha . This is because the chi square is right tailed.

So with alpha 0.95 and 8 degrees of freedom χ²= 2.73

And with alpha 0.05 and 8 degrees of freedom χ²=15.51

This can be shown with a graph.

Find the derivative of g(y)=(y-4)*(2y+y^2)
sasho [114]

Answer:

g'(y)=3y^2-4y-8

Step-by-step explanation:

start by foiling out the given function

g(y)=(y-4)(2y+y^2)\\=2y^2+y^3-8y-4y^2\\=y^3-2y^2-8y

next, use the power rule to find the derivative

power rule: To use the power rule, multiply the variable's exponent n, by its coefficient a, then subtract 1 from the exponent. If there's no coefficient (the coefficient is 1), then the exponent will become the new coefficient.

g'(y)=3y^2-4y-8
