4x-7y=15 and 5x-2y=12

Presumably we're being asked to solve the system.  

4x - 7y = 15

5x - 2y = 12

We don't really have any common factors among the coefficients of x, or among the coefficients of y, so we can do the general thing. To eliminate y multiply the first equation by (typically the absolute value of) the coefficient of y in the second equation and vice verse, then add or subtract equations to eliminate.  

First equation times 2:

8x - 14y = 30

Second equation times 7:

35x - 14y = 84

Subtract,

27x = 54

x = 54/27 = 2

2y = 5x - 12 = 10 - 12 = -2

y = -1

Answer: x=2, y = -1

Check:

4(2)-7(-1)=8+7=15, good

5(2) -2(-1) = 10 + 2 = 12, good

-----

If you do enough of these 2x2 linear systems you can learn to just write down the answer.  I usually remember the matrix inverse, but if you haven't gotten there you can just remember the pattern:  

ax + by = c    

dx + ey = f

has solutions

x = (ce-bf)/(ae-bd), y = (a f-cd)/(ae-bd)

4x - 7y = 15    

5x - 2y = 12

has solutions

denom = ae-bd = 4(-2) - (-7)(5) = 27

x = (15(-2) - (-7)(12))/27 = (-30 + 84)/27 = 2

y = (4(12)-15(5))/27 = (48-75)/27 = -27/27 = -1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-7y=15                          

Add '-7y' to each side of the equation.    

Add '2y' to each side of the equation.

5x + -2y + 2y = 12 + 2y

Combine like terms: -2y + 2y = 0

5x + 0 = 12 + 2y

5x = 12 + 2y

Divide each side by '5'.

x = 2.4 + 0.4y

Simplifying

x = 2.4 + 0.4y

4x + 7y + -7y = 15 + -7y

Combine like terms: 7y + -7y = 0

4x + 0 = 15 + -7y

4x = 15 + -7y

Describe the sampling distribution of p(hat). Assume the size of the population is 30,000.
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

a) \mathbf{\mu_ \hat p = 0.6}

b) \mathbf{\sigma_p =0.01732}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

population mean \mu = 30,000

sample size n = 800

population proportion p = 0.6

a)

The mean of the the sampling distribution is equal to the population proportion.

\mu_ \hat p =  p

\mathbf{\mu_ \hat p = 0.6}

b)

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution can be estimated by using the formula:

\sigma_p = \sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}

\sigma_p = \sqrt{\dfrac{0.6(1-0.6)}{800}}

\sigma_p = \sqrt{\dfrac{0.6(0.4)}{800}}

\sigma_p = \sqrt{\dfrac{0.24}{800}}

\sigma_p = \sqrt{3 \times 10^{-4}}

\mathbf{\sigma_p =0.01732}

Quadrilateral WILDWILDW, I, L, D is inscribed in circle OOO. \overline{WI} WI start overline, W, I, end overline is a diameter o
VARVARA [1.3K]

Question not well presented and diagram is missing

Quadrilateral WILD is inscribed in circle O.

WI is a diameter of circle O.

What is the measure of angle D?

See attached for diagram

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Summation of opposite angles of a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle is 180°, given that the vertices are on the circle.

Given

<WIL = 45°

<ILD = 109°

In the attached;

<WIL + <WDL = 180° (Opposite angle of quadrilateral)

Substitute 45° for <WIL in the above expression

45° + <WDL = 180° ---- Collect like terms

<WDL = 180° - 45°

<WDL = 135°

Hence, the measure of angle D is 135° (See attached)
