Since:
ax(2x + y - 5) = 6x^2 +3xy - 15x,

we should factor X out of the second equation to find out the value of a:
6x^2 + 3xy - 15x =
x(6x + 3y - 15),

Now that we factored X out, to find a, we need to find the other common factor:

(6x + 3y - 15) / (2x + y - 5),

which is 3.

Hence the value of a is 3

Answer:

a=3

Step-by-step explanation:

If ax(2x + y - 5) simplifies to 6x² +3xy - 15x

ax(2x + y - 5)=2ax^2+axy-5ax

Comparing Coefficients of 2ax^2+axy-5ax with 6x^2 +3xy - 15x

For x^2; 2a=6===>a=3

     xy: a=3

     x: -5a=-15==>a=3

Clearly, a=3

ra1l [238]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>Sample space</u> = {10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44}

∴ n(S) = 20 .

[i] <u>Let A be the event that the number so formed is a prime number</u>.

∴ A = {11,13,23,31,41,43}

∴ n(A) = 6

So, P(A) = n(A)/n(S) = 6/20

∴ P(A) = 3/10.

[ii] <u>Let B be the event that the number so formed is a multiple of 4</u>.

∴ B = {12,20,24,32,40,44}

∴ n(B) = 6

So, P(B) = n(B)/n(S) = 6/20

∴ P(B) = 3/10.

[iii] <u>Let C be the event that the number so formed is a multiple of 11</u>.

∴ C = {11,22,33,44}

∴ n(C) = 4

So, P(C) = n(C)/n(S) = 4/20

∴ P(C) = 1/5.

What does a residual value of –4.5 mean in reference to the line of best fit?
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

The residual value is the difference between the observed value (from the scatter plot) and the predicted value (from the line of best fit).


Step-by-step explanation:

The residual value is the difference between the observed value (from the scatter plot) and the predicted value (from the line of best fit).

Residual Value = Observed Value - Predicted Value

<em>Since the residual value of -4.5 is negative, we can say the predicted value is larger than the observed value. In other words, the line of best fit is "above" the scatter plot point in that specific point.</em>
