Answer:
a)
i) we have the equation:
3*x - 2*y
We want to find a common multiple of 3 and 2.
One can be:
3*6 = 18
2*9 = 18
And both numbers 6 and 9 are on the list, then if we take:
x = 6, y = 9
we get:
3*6 - 2*9 = 18 - 18 = 0
The solution is x = 6, y = 9.
ii) The greatest possible value of:
3*x - 2*y
Will be when x is the largest value of the list (because it is on the positive term) and y is the smallest value on the list (because it is on the negative term)
then we need to have x = 10, y = 5
The value will be:
3*10 - 2*5 = 30 - 10 = 20
iii) Now we want to have the smallest value on x, and the largest one on y, then:
x = 5, y = 10
The smallest value of the equation will be:
3*5 - 2*10 = 15 - 20 = -5
B) We want to solve:
5*(a - 4*b)
when:
a = -7
b = 1/4
This is kinda easy, we just need to replace the variables in the equation to get:
5*(a - 4*b) = 5*(-7 - 4*(1/4)) = 5*(-7 - 4/4) = 5*-8 = -40

Is the answers to the following questions
Answer:
- gradient is 4.
- y-intercept is -5.
- No.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. In order to find the gradient of equation, you have to make it into slope-form equation y = mx + b :




So m represents gradient. In this question, m is 4.
2. Make it into slope-form equation :



In this question, y-intercept is b which is -5.
3. You have to substitute x-coodinate into the equation to see whether it is equal to y-coordinate :





Answer:
Therefore there's a 99.99% probability the motherboard of your new computer will last for at least 15 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is the general idea to solve the problem.
Suppose that the mean and variance of the your distribution are .
respectively. Then, according to the problem you are looking for the probability.

Consider then the following random variable.

Using the central limit theorem
distribution will be close to normal, and its mean and variance will be
, respectively. Therefore you just have to find the probability that a normally distributed random variable with that mean and that variance which I just mentioned is less than 14.
For this case we have that

Then you have that

and we have that if
is a normally distributed random variables with mean 280 and variance 70 we have that

the actual probability we are looking for is

Therefore there's a 99.99% probability the motherboard of your new computer will last for at least 15 years.
