Answer:

(-5.77, 6.46)

Step-by-step explanation:

15x + 9y = 45 ----------- i

9x + 8y = 12----------------ii

Multiply equation i by 9 the coefficient of x in equ ii

And equation ii by 15 the coefficient of x in equ I

9 x 15x + 9y = 45 ----------- i

15 x 9x + 8y = 12----------------ii

135x+81y = 405

135x+120y= 180

Subtract equation ii from I

135x-135x+81y-(+120y)= 405-180

-39y=225

y = 225/-39 = -5.77

Insert the value of y in equ i

15x + 9y = 45

15x+9(-5.77) = 45

15x-51.92=45

15x = 45+51.92

15x= 96.92

x = 96.92/15= 6.46

(x,y) = (-5.77, 6.46)

x = 6.92/15

The lengths of salamanders have a normal distribution with mean 15cm, and standard deviation 2cm. What length of salamander woul
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

16.68 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Mean , m = 15

Standard deviation, s = 2

Length of salamander that would Place it at 80% of salamander length :

P(Z ≤ x) = 0.8

Zscore equivalent to 0.8 = 0.842

Using the relation :

Zscore = (x - m) /s

0.842 = (x - 15) / 2

1.684 = x - 15

Add 15 to both sides

1.684 + 15 = x - 15 + 15

16.684 = x

Hence, x = 16.68 cm

Sonic rolls up a slope at 9.4 m/s. after 3.0 he is rolling back down ay 7.4 m/s. how far up the hill is he at this time?
vovikov84 [41]
U= 9.4m/s
v= -7.4m/s (Negative sign because it is in the opposite direction as he is rolling back)
t= ?
s= ?
a= ?
Now, a= v-u/t
= -7.4-9.4÷3
=-5.6
By the second equation of motion.
s= ut+1÷2at*2 ( *2 is the power)
s= 9.4×3+1÷2×-5.6×3*2
= 28.2 +(-25.2)
=3
Therefore s or the distance travelled is 3m.

How do i find the shorted distance between the point and the line
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 4y = 8

4y = -3x+8

y = -3/4+2

The shortest distance between a point and a line is the perpendicular line.

Slope of the perpendicular line: 4/3 and point (-3,-2)

b = -2-(4/3)(-3) = 2

Equation of the perpendicular line: y=4/3x+2

y is equal y

4/3x+2= -3/4x+2

4/3x +3/4x = 2-2

x = 0

Plug x=0 into one of the equations to find y

y = 4/3(0) + 2

y = 2

(0,2) and (-3,-2)

Distance = sqrt [(-3-0)^2 + (-2-2)^2]

Sqrt (-3)^2+ (-4)^2

Sqrt 25 = 5
