Express the situation as a system of two equations in two variables. Be sure to state clearly the meaning of your x- and y-varia

bles. Solve the system by row-reducing the corresponding augmented matrix. State your final answer in terms of the original question.
For the final days before the election, the campaign manager has a total of $37,000 to spend on TV and radio campaign advertisements. Each TV ad costs $3000 and is seen by 10,000 voters, while each radio ad costs $500 and is heard by 2000 voters. Ignoring repeated exposures to the same voter, how many TV and radio ads will contact 130,000voters using the allocated funds?

x = TV ads
y = radio ads

Answer:

9 TV ads and 20 radio ads

Step-by-step explanation:

He has $37,000 to spend. He has to sum that amount of money between the TV and radio ads. Each TV ad costs $3000 while each radio ad costs $500, so the equation that represents that is 37000 = 3000x  + 500y  

The same happens with the amount of voters he needs to reach, the equation is 130000 = 10000x + 2000y

The system that represents this is

\left \{ {{3000x+500y=37000} \atop {10000x+2000y=130000}} \right.

And the augmented matrix is

\left[\begin{array}{cc|c}3000&500&37000\\10000&2000&130000\end{array}\right]

First we divide the first row by 3000 and the second by 10000:

\left[\begin{array}{cc|c}1&1/6&37/3\\1&1/5&13\end{array}\right]

Then we multiply the second row by (-1) and we add the first row:

\left[\begin{array}{cc|c}1&1/6&37/3\\0&-1/30&-2/3\end{array}\right]

Now we multiply the second row by -30:

\left[\begin{array}{cc|c}1&1/6&37/3\\0&1&20\end{array}\right]

Finally, to the first row we add the second one multiply by (-1/6):

\left[\begin{array}{cc|c}1&0&9\\0&1&20\end{array}\right]

So, x = 9 and y = 20

That means 9 TV and 20 radio ads will contact 130,000 voters using the allocated funds

Evaluate la+b-cl, given a=5, b=_3, and c =-2
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you meant to type b= -3, you would plug in 5 + -3 + -2 to equal 0. The answer would then be 0.

If b was supposed to be +3, then it would be absolute value of 5 + 3 + -2 to equal 6.

What type of graph organizes data into 4 groups of equal size, and is often used to compare two sets of data.
aliina [53]

The plot that organizes the data into 4 groups of equal sizes is box and whisker plot.

The image below shows a box and whisker plot. Following are the elements of box and whisker plot:

Minimum = This is the smallest value of the data set

Q1 = First (Lower) Quartile of the data set. 25% of the data values lie below this point

Q2 = Second Quartile or Median. This is the central value so 50% of the data values lie below this point

Q3 = Third (Upper) Quartile of the data set. 75% of the data values lie below this point.

Maximum = This is the maximum value of the data set.

Based on box and whisker plot we can compare two or more sets of data by comparing the spread of the data. We can also directly observe from the box and whisker plot if the data is uniform, normal or skewed. Using box and whisker plot we can also visualize any outliers that may be in the data.
