Alright...simple...showing all steps.. ;)

You have the equations...

2x+y=7
and
3x+5y=14

To be able to even solve for any of the variables...multiply the equations by...2...and..3...

2x+y=7----*3--> 6x+3y=21
and
3x+5y=14-----*2--->6x+10y=28

Thus,

6x+3y=21
-
6x+10y=28

=========

-7y=-7

y=1

Now, plug y back into any of the original equations....we'll use 2x+y=7 in this case....

2x+(1)=7

2x+1=7
-1 -1

2x=6

x=3

Thus, the point of intersection for these two equations is (3,1)

Write an exponential function in the form y = ab that goes through points (0,19)<br>and (5,4617).

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

y = 1/2 (2)x

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the equation y = abx , substitute both of your given points into that equation.

2 = ab2 and 4 = ab3 Solve each equation for a.

2⁄b2 and 4⁄b3 = a Therefore, 2⁄b2 = 4⁄b3

Cross multiply: 2b3 = 4b2 Divide both sides by b2

2b = 4 a = 2/4 = 1/2

b = 2

Answer:

You're answer is 42

Step-by-step explanation:

if you add all the numbers together, you would get 336. since there are eight numbers in the data set, you should divide it by eight.. with that said, 336/8 is 42

Rainbow [258]

Answer: 0.7887

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the random variable that represents the diameters of the corks .

Given : The first produces corks with diameters that are normally distributed with mean 3 cm and standard deviation 0.08 cm.

i.e. $\mu=3\ cm\ \ ,\sigma=0.08\ cm$
