average, petite, and tall
50 people are surveyed about favorite preference
450 pairs ordered
average = 25/50, which is half
25/50 = ?/450
so ?/450 = 1/2
450 / 2 = 225, so 225 pairs should be average length.
hoped this helped!
Answer:
A has 263 calories
B has 257 calories
Step-by-step explanation:
system of equations:
a + 2b = 777
2a + b = 783
I multiplied the first equation by -2 to eliminate the 'a' terms
-2a - 4b = -1554
+ <u> 2a + b = 783</u>
-3b = -771
b = 257
solve for 'a'
a + 2(257) = 777
a + 514 = 777
a = 263
Answer: β ≠ ±1
Step-by-step explanation: For a system of equations to have an unique solution, its determinant must be different from 0: det |A| ≠ 0. So,
det ![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&\beta&1-\beta\\2&2&0\\2-2\beta&4&0\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D1%26%5Cbeta%261-%5Cbeta%5C%5C2%262%260%5C%5C2-2%5Cbeta%264%260%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
≠ 0
Determinant of a 3x3 matrix is calculated by:
det ![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&\beta&1-\beta\\2&2&0\\2-2\beta&4&0\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&\beta\\2&2\\2-2\beta&4\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D1%26%5Cbeta%261-%5Cbeta%5C%5C2%262%260%5C%5C2-2%5Cbeta%264%260%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D1%26%5Cbeta%5C%5C2%262%5C%5C2-2%5Cbeta%264%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
![8(1-\beta)-[2(2-2\beta)(1-\beta)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=8%281-%5Cbeta%29-%5B2%282-2%5Cbeta%29%281-%5Cbeta%29%5D)
β ≠ ±1
For the system to have only one solution, β ≠ 1 or β ≠ -1.
Ralph's height is y
Ben's height is x
Ben's height is 1/20 of Ralph's height. How tall is Ralph?
You find the x coordinates using x = -b/2a = -6/2(-1) = 3
Substitute 3 in the equation and find y
y = -(3^2) + 6(3) - 12 = -9 + 18 - 12 = -3
