3 0

x =  \frac{c - by}{a}
Ax+By=C
steps:
1) Subtract the By
Ax + By = C
–By = C – By
*Positive and Negative Cross Each Other Out*
Ax = C – By
2)divide by A
Ax = C – By
---- = ----------
A A
*A divided by A is one*

A retangle has a perimeter (p) of 58 inches. The length (L) is one more than 3 times the width (W)
worty [1.4K]

The rectangle has a perimeter P of 58 inches.The length l is one more than 3 times the width w.write and solve a system of linear equations to find the length and width of the rectangle?

Answer:

Length(L)=22 inches

Width(W) = 7 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

GIven:-

Perimeter (p)=58 inches,

Length(L)= one more than 3 times the width(W)

Let, W=x   ---------------------------------(equation 1

L=3x+1  -----------------------(equation 2)

Here x is unknown and to find the Width(W) we have to find the value of x.

Now,

Perimeter of rectangle(p) = 2 times length(L) + 2 times width(W)

p=2L+2W

p=2(3x+1)+2x  ----------------(from equation 1)

58=6x+2+2x   ----------------(given p=58 inches)

58=8x+2

8x=58-2

8x=56

x=\frac{56}{8}

x=7          ----------------------(equation 3)

Now substituting the value of equation 3 in equation 2.

L=3x+1

L=(3\times 7)+1

L=21+1

L=22

L=22 inches

as, W=x   -----------------------(from equation 1)

W=7 inches -------------------(equation 3)

Therefore, Length(L) = 22 inches and Width(W) = 7 inches.

Can anyone help me understand how to evaluate the limit of this complex fraction?
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

-1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{1/x-1/3}{x-3}

For simplicity, let's multiply top and bottom by 3x:

\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{3-x}{3x(x-3)}

Factor out a -1:

\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{-(x-3)}{3x(x-3)}

Divide top and bottom by x−3:

\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{-1}{3x}

Evaluate the limit:

\frac{-1}{3(3)}\\-\frac{1}{9}

It's important to note that the function doesn't exist at x = 3.  As x <em>approaches</em> 3, the function <em>approaches</em> -1/9.

34​% of college students say they use credit cards because of the rewards program. You randomly select 10 college students and a
finlep [7]

Answer:

a) There is a 18.73% probability that exactly two students use credit cards because of the rewards program.

b) There is a 71.62% probability that more than two students use credit cards because of the rewards program.

c) There is a 82% probability that between two and five students, inclusive, use credit cards because of the rewards program.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are only two possible outcomes. Either the student use credit cards because of the rewards program, or they use for other reason. So, we can solve this problem by the binomial distribution.

Binomial probability

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And \pi is the probability of X happening.

In this problem, we have that:

10 student are sampled, so n = 10

34% of college students say they use credit cards because of the rewards program, so \pi = 0.34

(a) exactly​ two

This is P(X = 2).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}

P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.34)^{2}.(0.66)^{8} = 0.1873

There is a 18.73% probability that exactly two students use credit cards because of the rewards program.

(b) more than​ two

This is P(X > 2).

Either a value is larger than two, or it is smaller of equal. The sum of the decimal probabilities must be 1. So:

P(X \leq 2) + P(X > 2) = 1

P(X > 2) = 1 - P(X \leq 2)

In which

P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)

So

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.34)^{0}.(0.66)^{10} = 0.0157

P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.34)^{1}.(0.66)^{9} = 0.0808

P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.34)^{2}.(0.66)^{8} = 0.1873

P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0157 + 0.0808 + 0.1873 = 0.2838

P(X > 2) = 1 - P(X \leq 2) = 1 - 0.2838 = 0.7162

There is a 71.62% probability that more than two students use credit cards because of the rewards program.

(c) between two and five inclusive

This is:

P = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5)

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}

P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.34)^{2}.(0.66)^{8} = 0.1873

P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.34)^{3}.(0.66)^{7} = 0.2573

P(X = 4) = C_{10,4}.(0.34)^{4}.(0.66)^{6} = 0.2320

P(X = 5) = C_{10,5}.(0.34)^{5}.(0.66)^{5} = 0.1434

P = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) = 0.1873 + 0.2573 + 0.2320 + 0.1434 = 0.82

There is a 82% probability that between two and five students, inclusive, use credit cards because of the rewards program.
