Consider the following pair of equations:

1 answer:

4 0

The pair of equations:
y = x + 4
y = -2x - 2

To solve the system of equation by substitution, you would substitute one variable for it's equivalent expression. Combining the pair of equations into one equation in only one variable. The easiest way to do this is by substituting out the variable y because it is already alone on one side of the equal sign. Substitute the y in the second equation for: x+4

x+4 = -2x - 2
solve for x
x + 2x = -2 -4
3x = -6
x = -2

now use the value for x to find y by putting into either equation.

y = x + 4
y = (-2) + 4
y = 2

solution is: (-2, 2)

What is the value of "x" if -2(3x+2)>-8x+6

lukranit [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(3x+2) > -8x+6

Expand the terms

That's

- 6x - 4 > - 8x + 6

- 6x + 8x > 6 + 4

2x > 10

Divide both sides by 5

Hope this helps you.

Increase £14187.13 by 14.5%

zhenek [66]

Answer:

16,244.26

Step-by-step explanation:

14,187.13 + (14.5% × 14,187.13) =

14,187.13 + 14.5% × 14,187.13 =

(1 + 14.5%) × 14,187.13 =

(100% + 14.5%) × 14,187.13 =

114.5% × 14,187.13 =

114.5 ÷ 100 × 14,187.13 =

114.5 × 14,187.13 ÷ 100 =

1,624,426.385 ÷ 100 =

16,244.26385 ≈

Let f(x)=2x-1 and g(x)=x^2 -3. Find (f o g)(-3)

anzhelika [568]

(f o g)(-3) = (f(g(-3))
Because g is on the inside, we carry out g first.

g(x) = x^2 - 3
Substitute -3 in for x.
g(-3) = (-3)^2 - 3 = 9 - 3 = 6
g(-3) = 6

Next, carry out f on the result of g(-3)
f(6) = 2(6) - 1
= 12 - 1
= 11
So the answer is 11.

A marketing firm is considering making up to three new hires. Given its specific needs, the management feels that there is a 50%

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

a) 0.9

b) Mean = 1.58

Standard Deviation = 0.89

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

A marketing firm is considering making up to three new hires.

Let X be the variable describing the number of hiring in the company.

Thus, x can take values 0,1 ,2 and 3.

$P(x\geq 2) = 50\%= 0.5\\P(x = 0) = 10\% = 0.1\\P(x = 3) = 18\% = 0.18$

a) P(firm will make at least one hire)

$P(x\geq 2) = P(x=2) + P(x=3)\\0.5 = P(x=2) + 0.18\\ P(x=2) = 0.32$

Also,

$P(x= 0) +P(x= 1) + P(x= 2) + P(x= 3) = 1\\ 0.1 + P(x= 1) + 0.32 + 0.18 = 1\\ P(x= 1) = 1- (0.1+0.32+0.18) = 0.4$

$\text{P(firm will make at least one hire)}\\= P(x\geq 1)\\=P(x=1) + P(x=2) + P(x=3)\\ = 0.4 + 0.32 + 0.18 = 0.9$

b) expected value and the standard deviation of the number of hires.

$E(X) = \displaystyle\sum x_iP(x_i)\\=0(0.1) + 1(0.4) + 2(0.32)+3(0.18) = 1.58$

$E(x^2) = \displaystyle\sum x_i^2P(x_i)\\=0(0.1) + 1(0.4) + 4(0.32) +9(0.18) = 3.3\\V(x) = E(x^2)-[E(x)]^2 = 3.3-(1.58)^2 = 0.80\\\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{V(x)} = \sqrt{0.8036} = 0.89$
