<h2>Answer:</h2>

The number of solutions will be one.

( i.e. the system of equation has a unique solution )

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We are given a system of equations such that:

One of the equation has a negative reciprocal slope as compared to the other.

This means that the two lines are perpendicular.

Hence, the two lines will definitely meet or intersect at just one point and at right angles.

Also we know that the solutions  of a system of linear equations are the points where the two lines intersect.

Hence, we will have just one solution.

( since here the two lines will intersect at just one point )

The distribution of the number of viewers for the American Idol television show follows a normal distribution with a mean of 26
hjlf

Answer:

Probability that next week's show will have between 30 and 37 million viewers is 0.2248.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the distribution of the number of viewers for the American Idol television show follows a normal distribution with a mean of 26 million with a standard deviation of 8 million.

<em>Let X = number of viewers for the American Idol television show</em>

So, X ~ N(\mu=26,\sigma^{2}=8^{2})

Now, the z score probability distribution is given by;

          Z = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean = 26 million

            \sigma = standard deviation = 8 million

So, probability that next week's show will have between 30 and 37 million viewers is given by = P(30 < X < 37) = P(X < 37) - P(X \leq 30)

    P(X < 37) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{37-26}{8} ) = P(Z < 1.38) = 0.91621

    P(X \leq 30) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} \leq \frac{30-26}{8} ) = P(Z \leq 0.50) = 0.69146

<em>Therefore, P(30 < X < 37) = 0.91621 - 0.69146 = 0.2248</em>

Hence, probability that next week's show will have between 30 and 37 million viewers is 0.2248.

Create a question like
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

x = (+ - ) 9

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 = 81

u know how u can sometimes cancel something out by doing the opposite.

This is one of those times as well. the opposite of ^2 = square root.

so if we take the square root of both sides, this will cancel out the^2 on the left side.

sqrt (x^2) = sqrt(81)

x = (+-) 9.....thats a positive and a negative sign...because the sqrt of 81 is both 9 and -9.
