Answer:

  (x, y) = (3.5, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Elimination is easiest if one of the coefficients of a variable is a multiple of the other coefficient of the variable. Here, we have x-coefficients of 4 and 8, so it will be easiest to eliminate x.

Subtract the second equation from 2 times the first.

  2(4x +7y) -(8x +5y) = 2(-14) -(8)

  9y = -36 . . . . . simplify

  y = -4 . . . . . . . divide by 9

  4x +7(-4) = -14 . . . . substitute for y in the first equation

  4x = 14 . . . . . . . add 28

  x = 3.5 . . . . divide by 4

The solution is (x, y) = (3.5, -4).

According to a random sample taken at 12 A.M., body temperatures of healthy adults have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean o
Katarina [22]

Chebyshev’s Theorem establishes that at least 1 - 1/k²  of the population lie among k standard deviations from the mean.

This means that for k = 2,  1 - 1/4 = 0.75. In other words, 75% of the total population would be the percentage of healthy adults with body temperatures that are within 2standard deviations of the mean.

The maximum value of that range would be simply  μ + 2s, where μ is the mean and s the standard deviation. In the same way, the minimum value would be μ - 2s:

maximum = μ + 2s = 98.16˚F + 2*0.56˚F = 99.28˚F

minimum = μ - 2s = 98.16˚F - 2*0.56˚F  = 97.04˚F

In summary, at least 75% of the amount of healthy adults have a body temperature within 2 standard deviations of 98.16˚F, that is to say, a body temperature between 97.04˚F and 99.28˚F.

The length of one side of a square city block is 462 meters. what is the perimeter of the block
trapecia [35]
The perimeter of any shape is just what you get when you add up all of the side lengths. We know that one side is 462 meters, and since a square has four equal sides, we can just mulitply 462 × 4 to get our perimeter, 1,848 meters.

Help! It says that I need to determine If both equations represent lines which are parallel, perpendicular, or none...
12345 [234]
    4x + 2y = 8     (1)
    8x + 4y = -4y  (2)

A) Two lines are parallel if they have the same gradient
       - putting both equations into the gradient- intercept form ( y = mx + c                where m is the gradient)
            (1) 4x + 2y = 8
                          2y = 8 - 4x
                            y = -2x + 4
             
            (2) 8x + 4y = -4y
      <span>                    </span>8x = -4y - 4y
                            y = \frac{-8x}{-8}
                            y = -x
   <span>Thus the gradient of the two equations are different and as such          the two lines are not parallel
</span>
B)  When two lines are perpendicular, the product of their gradient is -1
                   m_{1} * m_{2} = p
                                             p = (-2) * (-1)
                                             p =  2
<span>          ∴ the two lines are not perpendicular either.</span>

Thus these lines are SKEWED LINES

Give two examples of line segments that will make a triangle ?
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

If the length of any one side is greater than the sum of the length of the other two, the line segments cannot be used to create a triangle. It is possible to create a triangle using 3 line segments if the sum of the lengths of any two line segments is greater than the length of the third.
