Answer:

x = -1/4, y = 5/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because of the absolute value equation y = |x - 1| the value of y must be positive.

Solving x - 1 = 3x + 2 :

2x = -3

x = -3/2 and y = -5/2 so x= -3/2 is not a solution.

x - 1 xcan also be negative so we have the equation

- (x - 1) = 3x + 2

1 - x = 3x + 2

-1 = 4x

x = -1/4

y = 1 - - 1/4 = 5/4.

Which polynomial identity will prove that 49-4=45

goldfiish [28.3K]

Consider the polynomial identity (difference of squares):
(x+y)(x-y) = x² - y²

Set x =7 and y = 2 to obtain
(7+2)*(7-2) = 7² - 2²
9*5 = 49 - 4
45 = 49 - 4
This is the result required, obtained by using difference of squares.

Answer: Difference of squares.

Recipe calls for 2 parts grape juice and 6 parts water. Make 80 ounces of grape drink. How many ounces of grape juice and ounces

Marysya12 [62]

First, see how many parts in total (6+2=8) then divide 80 by 8 which is ten. you then know that each part must be 10 ounces so 2 parts becomes 20 ounces of grape juice and 6 parts becomes 60 ounces of water

Suppose the parent population has an exponential distribution with a mean of 15 and standard deviation of 12. Use the Central Li

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

The sampling distribution of the sample mean of size 30 will be approximately normal with mean 15 and standard deviation 2.19.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
