If x=-2 and y=6 is a solution of equation 3ax+2by=6, then find the value of b

1 answer:

7 0

$\text{Substitute the values of x and y to the equation}\\\\x=-2,\ y=6,\ 3ax+2by=6\\\\3a(-2)+2b(6)=6\\\\-6a+12b=6\qquad|\text{add 6a to both sides}\\\\12b=6a+6\qquad|\text{divide both sides by 12}\\\\b=\dfrac{6a}{12}+\dfrac{6}{12}\\\\\boxed{b=\dfrac{1}{2}a+\dfrac{1}{2}}$

Let x represent the amount of frozen yogurt (in hundreds of gallons) sold by the G&T restaurant on any day during the summer

musickatia [10]

Answer:

a) The probability of selling less than 100 gallons (x≤1) is P=0.16.

b) The mean number of gallons is M=80 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of selling x, in hundred of gallons, on any day during the summer is y(x)=0.32x, in a range for x from [0;2.5].

The probability of selling less than 100 gallons (x≤1) is then:

$P(x\leq1)=\int_0^{100}0.32x\cdot dx\\\\P(x\leq1)=0.16(x_b^2-x_a^2)\\\\P(x\leq1)=0.16(1^2-0^2)=0.16$

The mean number of gallons can be calculated as:

$M=\int_0^{2.5}(y(x)/x)\cdot dx=\int_0^{2.5}(0.32)\cdot dx\\\\M=0.32(x_b-x_a)=0.32(2.5-0)=0.32*2.5=0.8$

Solve equation, check for extraneous solutions

fiasKO [112]

Start with

$1=\dfrac{1}{n^2}+\dfrac{n^2-4n-5}{3n^2}$

We observe that both fractions are not defined if $n=0$ . So, we will assume $n \neq 0$ .

We multiply both numerator and denominator of the first fraction by 3 and we sum the two fractions:

$1=\dfrac{3}{3n^2}+\dfrac{n^2-4n-5}{3n^2} = \dfrac{n^2-4n-2}{3n^2}$

We multiply both sides by $3n^2$ :

$n^2-4n-2=3n^2$

We move everything to one side and solve the quadratic equation:

$2n^2+4n+2=0 \iff 2(n^2+2n+1)=0 \iff 2(n+1)^2=0 \iff n+1=0 \iff n=-1$

We check the solution:

$1=\dfrac{1}{1}+\dfrac{1+4-5}{3} \iff 1 = 1+0$

which is true

Hello,

function minmax(int p1,int p2,int p3, int adr_big, int adr_small)
{ int mini=p1,maxi=p1;
if (p1>p2) {mini=p2;}
else {maxi=p2;};

if (p3>maxi) maxi=p3;
if (p3<mini) mini=p3;
*adr_big=maxi;
*adr_small=mini;
};

A passenger rode the subway 2 blocks west and then 10 south. If all the blocks are the same length what is the value of the slop

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

The slope of the line is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Great question, it is always good to ask away and get rid of any doubts that you may be having.

I have created an illustration which is attached below in order to help you understand the situation. As we are told the passenger rode the subway from point (0 , 0) to point (-2, 0). Then he rode the subway from point (-2, 0) to the final destination of point (-2 , -10). In order to find the value of the slope we need to use the slope formula which is

$Slope = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}- x_{1} }$

Now we just plug in the values of the starting point and final destination in order to find the slope of the line.

$Slope = \frac{(-10) - (0)}{(-2)-(0)}$

$Slope = \frac{-10}{-2}$

$Slope =5$

Finally we can see that the slope of the line is 5

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.
