Mathematics
1 answer:
Oksana_A [137]3 years ago

There is a special kind of substitution which some books call it by comparison.

When the two equations are both 
y=some function of x
y=some other function of x, then
we can substitute the second equation into the first giving
some function of x = some other function of x and start solving.

For example,
<span>y = –2x + 8 
y = x – 1
substitute second into first
x-1=-2x+8
isolate x on left,
3x=9
x=3
second step is to substitute x=3 into second equation to get
y=x-1=3-1=2
Therefore the solution is (3,2)</span>

Find the value of a and of b for which<br>(a) the solution of x2 + ax &lt; b is<br>-2&lt;x &lt; 4​
KengaRu [80]

Answer: a = -2

b = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

x^{2} +ax

re - writing the equation , we have

x^{2} +ax-b

we need to find the value of a and b for which -2<x < 4 , this means that the roots of the quadratic equation are -2<x < 4.

The formula for finding the quadratic equation when the roots are known is :

x^{2} - sum of roots(x) + product of root = 0

sum of roots = -2 + 4 = 2

product of roots = -2 x 4 = -8

substituting into the formula , we have:

x^{2} -2x-8=0 , which could be written in inequality form as

x^{2} -2x-8

comparing with x^{2} +ax-b , it means that :

a = -2

b = 8

Which statement is true about whether A and B are independent events? A and B are independent events because P(A∣B) = P(A) = 0.1
love history [14]
The events A and B are independent if the  probability that event A occurs does not affect the probability that event B occurs.
A and B are independent if the equation P(A∩B) = P(A) P(B) holds true.
P(A∩B) is the probability that both event A and B occur.
Conditional probability is the probability of an event given that some other event first occurs.
P(B|A)=P(A∩B)/P(A)
In the case where events<span> A and B are </span>independent<span> the </span>conditional probability<span> of </span>event<span> B given </span>event<span> A is simply the </span>probability<span> of </span>event<span> B, that is P(B).</span>
Statement 1:A and B are independent events because P(A∣B) = P(A) = 0.12. This is true.
Statement 2:<span>A and B are independent events because P(A∣B) = P(A) = 0.25.
This is true.
 Statement 3:</span><span>A and B are not independent events because P(A∣B) = 0.12 and P(A) = 0.25. 
This is true.
Statement 4:</span><span>A and B are not independent events because P(A∣B) = 0.375 and P(A) = 0.25
This is true.</span>

on a piece of paper, graph y&lt;-3/4x+2. Then determine which answer choice matches the graph you drew.
exis [7]

Answer:

  D.  Graph D

Step-by-step explanation:

The  "y <" tells you two things: (1) shading will be below the line, where y-values are less than those on the line, and (2) the line will be dashed, because the "equal to" case is not included.

Only one graph has a dashed line with shading below: Graph D.

If a = i - 9k and b = j + k , find ab .
Orlov [11]

Answer:

solution

given a=1_9k and b=j+k

Now,ab=(1_9k)(j+k)

=1((j+k)-9k(j+k)

=j+k_9jk-9k^2

=k_9k^2+j_9jk

=k((1_9k)+j(1_9k)

=(1_9k)(k+k)
