Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

Question 15

We can search x such that:

$x^2-4x+4=2x-5\\\\\text{*** subtract 2x-5 from both sides ***}\\ \\x^2-4x-2x+4+5=0\\ \\\text{*** simplify ***}\\ \\x^2-6x+9=0 \\ \\\text{*** we can notice a perfect square ***}\\ \\x^2 -2\cdot x \cdot 3 + 3^2=(x-3)^2=0\\\\\text{*** taking the root ***}\\\\x-3=0\\\\\large \boxed{\sf \ \ x=3 \ \ }$

There is 1 solution.

Question 16

Again, we search x such that:

$x^2-8x+15=2x-6\\\\\text{*** subtract 2x-6 from both sides ***}\\\\x^2-8x-2x+15+6=0\\\\\text{*** simplify ***}\\\\x^2-10x+21=0 \\ \\\text{*** we are looking for two roots where the sum is 10 and the product is 21 = 7 x 3 ***} \\\\x^2-7x-3x+21=x(x-7)-3(x-7)=(x-3)(x-7)=0\\\\\large \boxed{\sf \ \ x= 3 \ or \ x =7 \ \ }$ There are two solutions.

Hope this helps.

Do not hesitate if you need further explanation.

Thank you

Describe how the range of a data set can help describe its variability.

katovenus [111]

Answer:

The range is defined as the difference between the term with the highest value and the term with the lowest value. This statistic is used to measure the variability of a series of data because it provides information on how far apart the values of a tail of the distribution are from the values at the other end of the tail.

Imagine that you manufacture a type of spare part for cars that must have a measurement of 10 cm with a margin of error of 1 cm.

This is:

10 ± 1 cm

Then you expect your manufacturing process to produce pieces with identical dimensions, that is, with little variability.

If you randomly select a sample of n pieces and measure them, the variability is expected to be low, so that your process is of quality, then expect a low range preferably less than 1 cm.

{10, 10.1, 10.5, 9.8, 9,6, 10.2} Range= 10.5 - 9.6 = 0.9 cm low variability

But if you find that the range is up to 8 cm, this would mean that not all pieces measure around 10 cm, it means that the variability of the measurements is high.

{14, 12, 11, 8, 7, 11, 12, 15} Range = 15 - 7 = 8 cm high variability

What value of b will cause the system to have an infinite number of solutions?

irga5000 [103]

b must be equal to -6 for infinitely many solutions for system of equations $y = 6x + b$ and $-3 x+\frac{1}{2} y=-3$

Solution:

Need to calculate value of b so that given system of equations have an infinite number of solutions

$\begin{array}{l}{y=6 x+b} \\\\ {-3 x+\frac{1}{2} y=-3}\end{array}$

Let us bring the equations in same form for sake of simplicity in comparison

$\begin{array}{l}{y=6 x+b} \\\\ {\Rightarrow-6 x+y-b=0 \Rightarrow (1)} \\\\ {\Rightarrow-3 x+\frac{1}{2} y=-3} \\\\ {\Rightarrow -6 x+y=-6} \\\\ {\Rightarrow -6 x+y+6=0 \Rightarrow(2)}\end{array}$

Now we have two equations

$\begin{array}{l}{-6 x+y-b=0\Rightarrow(1)} \\\\ {-6 x+y+6=0\Rightarrow(2)}\end{array}$

Let us first see what is requirement for system of equations have an infinite number of solutions

If $a_{1} x+b_{1} y+c_{1}=0$ and $a_{2} x+b_{2} y+c_{2}=0$ are two equation

$\Rightarrow \frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}=\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}=\frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}$ then the given system of equation has no infinitely many solutions.

In our case,

$\begin{array}{l}{a_{1}=-6, \mathrm{b}_{1}=1 \text { and } c_{1}=-\mathrm{b}} \\\\ {a_{2}=-6, \mathrm{b}_{2}=1 \text { and } c_{2}=6} \\\\ {\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}=\frac{-6}{-6}=1} \\\\ {\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}=\frac{1}{1}=1} \\\\ {\frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}=\frac{-b}{6}}\end{array}$

As for infinitely many solutions $\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}=\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}=\frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}$

$\begin{array}{l}{\Rightarrow 1=1=\frac{-b}{6}} \\\\ {\Rightarrow6=-b} \\\\ {\Rightarrow b=-6}\end{array}$

Hence b must be equal to -6 for infinitely many solutions for system of equations $y = 6x + b$ and $-3 x+\frac{1}{2} y=-3$
