Answer:

The probability that Kelly will place 1st and Andy will place 2nd is 1/90, or 1.11%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Kelly Slater and Andy Irons are in a surf competition among 10 competitors, to determine, if all surfers are at an equal surfing level, then what is the probability that Kelly will place 1st and Andy will place 2nd, the following calculation must be performed:

1/10 x 1/9 = X

0.1 x 0.11 = X

0.01111 = X

1/90 = 0.011111 = X

Therefore, the probability that Kelly will place 1st and Andy will place 2nd is 1/90, or 1.11%.

Find all solutions of the given system of equations (If the system is infinite many solution, express your answer in terms of x)

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

(a) The system of the equations $\left \{ {2x-3y\:=3} \atop {4x-6y\:=3}} \right.$ has no solution.

(b) The system of the equations $\left \{ {4x-6y\:=10} \atop {16x-24y\:=40}} \right.$ has many solutions $y=\frac{2x}{3}-\frac{5}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) To find the solutions of the following system of equations $\left \{ {2x-3y\:=3} \atop {4x-6y\:=3}} \right.$ you must:

Multiply $2x-3y=3$ by 2:

$\begin{bmatrix}4x-6y=6\\ 4x-6y=3\end{bmatrix}$

Subtract the equations

$4x-6y=3\\-\\4x-6y=6\\------\\0=-3$

0 = -3 is false, therefore the system of the equations has no solution.

(b) To find the solutions of the system $\left \{ {4x-6y\:=10} \atop {16x-24y\:=40}} \right.$ you must:

Isolate x for $4x-6y=10$

$x=\frac{5+3y}{2}$

Substitute $x=\frac{5+3y}{2}$ into the second equation

$16\cdot \frac{5+3y}{2}-24y=40\\8\left(3y+5\right)-24y=40\\24y+40-24y=40\\40=40$

The system has many solutions.

Isolate y for $4x-6y=10$

$y=\frac{2x}{3}-\frac{5}{3}$
