Answer:

For any value of b different from 2 the system will have no solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$3x-b=3x-2$

we know that

If b=2

then

the system has infinite solutions (the equations on both sides would be the same)

therefore

For any value of b different from 2 the system will have no solution. (parallel lines with different y-intercept)

Complete the coordinate proof of the theorem. Given: A B C D is a rectangle. Prove: The diagonals of A B C D are congruent.

Inessa05 [86]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given coordinates of the rectangle ABCD:

A(0, 0), B(a, 0), C(x, y), D(0, b)

Lets first find coordinates of C

We can see that A and B are on same line horizontally, so C and D will be on the parallel line

The distance AB and CD are equal also distance AD and BC are equal, therefore

AB = a - 0 = a, CD = a
AD = b - 0 = b, BC = b

So the coordinates of C are:

x = a, y = b

Now the diagonals:

AC = √(a-0)² + (b-0)² = √a²+b²
BD =√(0-a)² + (b -0)² = √a² + b²

Since AC = BD, we can state they are congruent

Suppose that a brand of lightbulb lasts on average 1730 hours with a standard deviation of 257 hours. Assume the life of the lig

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

P [ 1689 ≤ X ≤ 2267 ] = 54,88 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Distribution

Mean μ₀ = 1730

Standard Deviation σ = 257

We need to calculate z scores for the values 1689 and 2267

We apply formula for z scores

z = ( X - μ₀ ) /σ

X = 1689 then

z = (1689 - 1730)/ 257 ⇒ z = - 41 / 257

z = - 0.1595

And from z table we get for z = - 0,1595

We have to interpolate

- 0,15 0,4364

- 0,16 0,4325

Δ = 0.01 0.0039

0,1595 - 0,15 = 0.0095

By rule of three

0,01 0,0039

0,0095 x ?? x = 0.0037

And 0,4364 - 0.0037 = 0,4327

Then P [ X ≤ 1689 ] = 0.4327 or P [ X ≤ 1689 ] = 43,27 %

And for the upper limit 2267 z score will be

z = ( X - 1730 ) / 257 ⇒ z = 537 / 257

z = 2.0894

Now from z table we find for score 2.0894

We interpolate and assume 0.9815

P [ X ≤ 2267 ] = 0,9815

Ths vale already contains th value of P [ X ≤ 1689 ] = 0.4327

Then we subtract to get 0,9815 - 0,4327 = 0,5488

Finally

P [ 1689 ≤ X ≤ 2267 ] = 0,5488 or P [ 1689 ≤ X ≤ 2267 ] = 54,88 %
