What is the maximum number of possible solutions for the system shown below?

Mathematics

vekshin13 years ago

Answer:

B:  4 solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Combining the two equations results in 2x² = 52, or x² = 26.

This equation has two solutions:  x = ±√26.

As before, x² = 26.  If we substitute 26 for x² in the 1st equation, we get:

26 - 4y² = 16, or 4y² = 10, or y = ±√5/2.  Again:  two solutions.

If we take x to be +√26, y could be ±√(5/2).

Check:  is ( √26, √(5/2) ) a solution of the system?

Subbing these values into the first equation, we get:

26 - 4(5/2) = 16.  Is this true?

Then 10 = 10.  Yes.

Through three more checks, we find that this system has FOUR solutions.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that evolution theory hypothesizes that people should spontaneously follow a​ 24-hour cycle of sleeping and wakingdash–even if they are not exposed to the usual pattern of sunlight.

Sample size n = 8

df = 8- 1=7

Since population std deviation is not known, and sample size is small we can use only t test

H-0: x bar = 24\\H_a: x bar \neq 24

(two tailed test at 5% level of significance)

sd 3.142857143

 

se 1.111167799

Test statistic = Mean diff/se = 1.595

p = 0.1546

since p >0.05, accept null hypothesis.

There is no evidence to prove that the steady cycle is different from 24 hours.

Solve for substitution 8x+2y=13 and 4x+y=11
damaskus [11]
Solving for X:
1) y=-8x+6.5   y=-4x+11
2) -8x+6.5=-4x+11
3) -8x=-4x+11-6.5        (Subtract 6.5 from both sides)
4) -8x+4x=11-6.5         (Add 4x to both sides)
5)-4x=4.5
5)x=-1.125

Solving for Y:
y=-8(-1.125)+6.5
y=9+6.5
y=15.5

y=-4(-1.125)+11
y=4.5+11
y=15.5

x=-1.125
y=15.5
or
(-1.125,15.5)
