-3x -4y = 20 x - 10y =16 if (x, y) is the solution to the system of equations above what is the value of x?

1 answer:

6 0

Multiply first equation by -5 and 2nd by 2, add them

15x+20y=-100
<u>2x-20y=32 +</u>
17x+0y=-68

17x=-68
divide both sides by 17
x=-4

the x value is -4

The graph below is a portion of a complete graph. Which graph below is the complete graph assuming it is an even function?

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

Option b

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is even if and only if f(-x) = f(x).

This means that there is the same value of y for $x_0$ and for $-x_0$

Where $x_0$ is any point belonging to the function .

Therefore you must select a graph whose ordered pairs are of the form $(x_0, y_0)$ and $(-x_0, y_0)$

Therefore the correct answer is option b. Assume that each box in the graph equals 1 unit. Then, for x = 2 y = -3 and for x = -2 y = -3. Then it is shown that the function is even.

It’s a positive slope, constant slope, and increasing function. Because it’s a straight line going diagonally to the top right, you know the slope is positive, constant, and the function is positive.

If the probability of being hospitalized during a year is 0.15 find the probability that no one in the family of 4 will be hospi

Goryan [66]

The probability that no one in the family of 4 will be hospitalized during a year is 0.52

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability for a person to be hospitalized during one year is

$p(h)=0.15$

As a consequence, the probability for a person of NOT being hospitalized during one year is

$p(h^{-1})=1-0.15=0.85$

If we have 4 people in the family, the probability of each of them of NOT being hospitalized during the year is independent from the probability of the others - therefore, these are independent events. This means that the total probability of the 4 people of not being hospitalized during a year is:

$p(h^{-1})^4=(0.85)^4=0.52$
