Solve these simultaneous equations:

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

1) We have the system:

5*x - 3*y = 15

4*x + 3*y = 6

To solve this, we first need to isolate one of the variables in one of the equations, let's isolate x in the first equation:

x = 15/5 + (3/5)*y = 3 + (3/5)*y

Now we can replace this in the other equation to get:

4*( 3 + (3/5)*y) + 3*y = 6

and solve this for y.

12 + (12/5)*y + 3*y = 6

(12/5 + 3)*y = 6 - 12 = -6

(12/5 + 15/5)*y = -6

(27/5)*y = -6

y = -6*(5/27) = 1.11

Now we can replace this in the equation:

x = 3 + (3/5)*y

To get the value of x.

x = 3 + (3/5)*1.11 = 3.67

Then the solution of this system is the point (3.67, 1.11)

2) Now we have the system:

2*x + 5*y = 26

4*x + 3*y = 24

The solution method is the same as before:

x = 26/2 - (5/2)*y = 13 - (5/2)*y

Now we replace this in the other equation:

4*( 13 - (5/2)*y) + 3*y = 24

52 - 10*y + 3*y = 24

52 - 7*y = 24

52 - 24 = 7*y

28 = 7*y

28/7 = y

4 = y

now we replace this in the equatio:

x = 13 - (5/2)*y

x = 13 - (5/2)*4 = 13 - 10 = 3

The solution of this sytem is (3, 4)

3) Now we have the system:

3*x + 3*y = 39

2*x - 3*y = -2

first we isolate x in the first equation:

x = 39/3 - 3*y/3 = 13 - y

Now we can replace this in the other equation:

2*(13 - y) - 3*y = -2

26 - 2*y - 3*y = -2

26 - 5*y = -2

26 + 2 = 5*y

28 = 5*y

28/5 = y = 5.6

Now we can replace this in the equation:

x = 13 - y

To get the x-value

x = 13 - 5.6 = 7.4

Then the solution for this system is (7.4, 5.6)

Which is greater? The square root of 121 or the cube root of 125. Explain your answer.

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

The square root of 121.

Step-by-step explanation:

The square root of 121 is 11. 11x11=121 which makes the square root of 121, 11. The cube root of 125 is 5. Cube roots are numbers that are multiplied by each other to make a number, 125 is 5x5x5 so the cube root is 5. 11 is a greater number than 5 which makes the square root of 121 greater.

In the United States, 35% of households own a 4K television. Suppose we take a random sample of 150 households. (a) Describe the

sattari [20]

Answer:

(a) The distribution of the sample proportion is Normal distribution.

(b) The probability that in this sample of 150 households that more than 50% own a 4K television is 0.00012.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in the United States, 35% of households own a 4K television.

Suppose we take a random sample of 150 households.

Let $\hat p$ = sample proportion of households who own a 4K television.

The z-score probability distribution for sample proportion is given by;

Z = $\frac{ \hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\hat p$ = sample proportion

p = population proportion of households own a 4K television = 35%

n = sample of households = 150

(a) The distribution of the sample proportion is related to the Normal distribution.

(b) Probability that in this sample of 150 households more than 50% own a 4K television is given by = P( $\hat p$ > 0.50)

P( $\hat p$ > 0.50) = P( $\frac{ \hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ > $\frac{ 0.50-0.35}{\sqrt{\frac{0.50(1-0.50)}{150} } }$ ) = P(Z > 3.67) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 3.67)

= 1 - 0.99988 = 0.00012

Now, in the z table the P(Z $\leq$ x) or P(Z < x) is given. So, the above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 3.67 in the z table which has an area of 0.99988.

Therefore, probability that in this sample of 150 households more than 50% own a 4K television is 0.00012.
