Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The student currently has $50 and plans to save $15 every month.

Let x represent the number of months that the student will save enough money to buy the microscope.

Let y represent the amount that the student saves after x months.

The function that represents the amount y (in dollars) of money that the student saves after x months will be

y = 50 + 15x

The 50 remains constant because she has already saved it

A card is drawn from a standard deck of 52 cards. Find the probability of drawing red card or a face card
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

12/104 or around 11% chance

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because there is a total of 26 red cards (1/2) and a total of 12 face cards (12/52). So, you multiply 1/2 x 12/52 and get 12/104 or around 11% chance

Find the intersection points using substitution or elimination for each system of equations:
natka813 [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so I think I know what the equations are, but I might have misinterpreted them because of the syntax- I think when you ask a question you can use the symbols tool to input it in a more clear way, otherwise you can use parentheses and such.

Problem 1:

(x²)/4 +y²= 1

y= x+1

*substitute for y*

Now we have a one-variable equation we can solve-

x²/4 + (x+1)² = 1

x²/4 + (x+1)(x+1)= 1

x²/4 + x²+2x+1= 1

*subtract 1 from both sides to set equal to 0*

x²/4 +x^2+2x=0

x²/4 can also be 1/4 * x²

1/4 * x² +1*x² +2x = 0

*combine like terms*

5/4 * x^2+2x+ 0 =0

now, you can use the quadratic equation to solve for x

a= 5/4

b= 2

c=0

the syntax on this will be rough, but I'll do my best...

x= (-b ± √(b²-4ac))/(2a)

x= (-2 ±√(2²-4*(5/4)*(0))/(2*(5/4))

x= (-2 ±√(4-0))/(2.5)

x= (-2±2)/2.5

x will have 2 answers because of ±

x= 0 or x= 1.6

now plug that back into one of the equations and solve.

y= 0+1 = 1

y= 1.6+1= 2.6

Hopefully this explanation was enough to help you solve problem 2.

Problem 2:

x² + y² -16y +39= 0

y²- x² -9= 0

The accompanying data on x = current density (mA/cm2) and y = rate of deposition (m/min)μ appeared in a recent study.
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

a) r=\frac{4(333)-(200)(5.37)}{\sqrt{[4(12000) -(200)^2][4(9.3501) -(5.37)^2]}}=0.9857  

The correlation coefficient for this case is very near to 1 so then we can ensure that we have linear correlation between the two variables

b) m=\frac{64.5}{2000}=0.03225  

Now we can find the means for x and y like this:  

\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}=\frac{200}{4}=50  

\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}=\frac{5.37}{4}=1.3425  

b=\bar y -m \bar x=1.3425-(0.03225*50)=-0.27  

So the line would be given by:  

y=0.3225 x -0.27  

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

The correlation coeffcient is given by this formula:

r=\frac{n(\sum xy)-(\sum x)(\sum y)}{\sqrt{[n\sum x^2 -(\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2 -(\sum y)^2]}}  

For our case we have this:

n=4 \sum x = 200, \sum y = 5.37, \sum xy = 333, \sum x^2 =12000, \sum y^2 =9.3501  

r=\frac{4(333)-(200)(5.37)}{\sqrt{[4(12000) -(200)^2][4(9.3501) -(5.37)^2]}}=0.9857  

The correlation coefficient for this case is very near to 1 so then we can ensure that we have linear correlation between the two variables

Part b

m=\frac{S_{xy}}{S_{xx}}  

Where:  

S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}  

S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}  

With these we can find the sums:  

S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}=12000-\frac{200^2}{4}=2000  

S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i){n}}=333-\frac{200*5.37}{4}=64.5  

And the slope would be:  

m=\frac{64.5}{2000}=0.03225  

Now we can find the means for x and y like this:  

\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}=\frac{200}{4}=50  

\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}=\frac{5.37}{4}=1.3425  

And we can find the intercept using this:  

b=\bar y -m \bar x=1.3425-(0.03225*50)=-0.27  

So the line would be given by:  

y=0.3225 x -0.27
