Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First simplify the first expression.

Distribute.

1/4(8y-12) = 1/4 * 8y + 1/4 * -12

8y * 1/4 = 8y / 4 = 2y

-12 * 1/4 = -12 / 4 = -3

1/4(8y-12) = 2y - 3

2y - 12 != 2y - 3

So it is not equivalent.

Brayden, Howard, and Vincent are on the football team. During a game, Brayden gains 1 less than 5 times the average number of ya

Gnoma [55]

Answer: If two pair is parallel then it has no solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Let the number of gained yards by each player be y

For the case of Brayden:

Equation will be

$y=5x-1\\\\y-5x=-1$

For the case of Howard :

Equation will be

$y=5x+1\\\\y-5x=1$

For the case of Vincent :

$y=4x+5\\\\y-4x=5$

Since First two equations are parallel so it has no solution.

Reason:

$y-5x=1\\\\y-5x=-1\\\\\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{b_1}{b_2}=\frac{c_1}{c_2}\\\\\frac{1}{1}=\frac{5}{5}\neq \frac{1}{-1}$

Hence, if two pair is parallel then it has no solution.

Let X be a positive continuous random variable with density fXpxq. Let Y " lnpXq. (a) Find the density fY pyq of Y in terms of t

salantis [7]

Answer:

X density = fXpxq and

Y" =InpXq

Now to find Y density FYpyq interms of the density of X we compare the density of X with Y"

fX = In

And PXq =pxq

Thus replacing x with y,

PXq = pyq

(a) Hence the density of Y is FYpyq

(b) at p0, fYpyq =fYp0q= 0

At 5s, FYpyq =5

The difference between rational and irrational

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

Every integer is a rational number, since each integer n can be written in the form n/1. For example 5 = 5/1 and thus 5 is a rational number. However, numbers like 1/2, 45454737/2424242, and -3/7 are also rational, since they are fractions whose numerator and denominator are integers.
