Answer:

(-3,2) is the solution to the system of equation

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know the point that serves as a solution to the system of equation

We equate the y

-2x + 4 = -1/3x-1

Multiply through by 3

-6x + 12 = -x-3

-6x + x = -3-12

5x = 15

x = 15/5

x = 3

Substitute x into one of the y

y = -2(3) + 4

y = -6 + 4 = -2

So the solution is;

(3,-2)

I need help with like terms

professor190 [17]

I’m guessing you mean like this.
2x+4y+5x+8y.
2x and 5x are like terms because the x’s are alike. If you add 2+5, the answer is 7. So therefore 2x+5x=7x.

4y and 8y are like terms because the y’s are alike. So the answer to 4y+8y would be 12y.

If you need extra help, give me a problem and I will help you solve it.

For the function defined by y = StartFraction 1 Over x squared EndFraction, if x is doubled, what is the effect on y?

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

a. y is quartered.

Step-by-step explanation:

y=1/x^2

when x is doubled, the equation becomes:

y=1/(2x)^2=1/(4x^2)

PLEASE HELP what is the next term what is A in the sequence and what is the common ratio for 2 4 8 16 32

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

The next term is 64, a is 2, and the common ratio is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at what's happening from each number to the next. What do you need to do to get from 2 to 4, or 4 to 8? Multiply by 2. That's your common ratio. To get the next number in the sequence, multiply the last number by the common ratio of 2. 32 x 2 = 64, so the next number in the sequence is 64. "a" is just the very first term, meaning it's 2.

A recent survey by the New Statesman on British social attitudes asked respondents if they believe that inequality is too large.

Reika [66]

Answer:

(a) The probability that in a a sample of six British citizens two believe inequality is too large is 0.0375.

(b) The probability that in a a sample of six British citizens at least two believe inequality is too large is 0.9944.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable X can be defined as the number of British citizens who believe that inequality is too large.

The proportion of respondents who believe that inequality is too large is, p = 0.74.

Thus, the random variable X follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n and p = 0.74.

The probability mass function of X is:

$P(X=x)={n\choose x}\ 0.74^{x}(1-0.74)^{n-x};\ x=0,1,2,3...n$

(a)

Compute the probability that in a a sample of six British citizens two believe inequality is too large as follows:

$P(X=2)={6\choose 2}\ 0.74^{2}(1-0.74)^{6-2}\\=15\times 0.5476\times 0.00456976\\=0.03753600864\\\approx 0.0375$

Thus, the probability that in a a sample of six British citizens two believe inequality is too large is 0.0375.

(b)

Compute the probability that in a a sample of six British citizens at least two believe inequality is too large as follows:

P (X ≥ 2) = 1 - P (X < 2)

= 1 - P (X = 0) - P (X = 1)

$=1-[{6\choose 0}\ 0.74^{0}(1-0.74)^{6-0}]-[{6\choose 1}\ 0.74^{1}(1-0.74)^{6-1}]\\\\=1-[1\times 1\times 0.000308915776]-[6\times 0.74\times 0.0011881376]\\\\=1-0.00031-0.0053\\\\=0.99439\\\\\approx 0.9944$

Thus, the probability that in a a sample of six British citizens at least two believe inequality is too large is 0.9944.

(c)

Compute the probability that in a a sample of four British citizens none believe inequality is too large as follows:

$P(X=0)={4\choose 0}\ 0.74^{0}(1-0.74)^{4-0}\\=1\times 1\times 0.00456976\\=0.00456976\\\approx 0.0046$

Thus, the probability that in a a sample of four British citizens none believe inequality is too large is 0.0046.
