Answer:

The equations have one solution at (5, -5).

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a system of equations:

$\displaystyle{\left \{ {{-2x+5y=-35} \atop {7x+2y=25}} \right.}$

This system of equations can be solved in three different ways:

Graphing the equations (method used)
Substituting values into the equations
Eliminating variables from the equations

<u>Graphing the Equations</u>

We need to solve each equation and place it in slope-intercept form first. Slope-intercept form is $\text{y = mx + b}$ .

Equation 1 is $-2x+5y = -35$ . We need to isolate y.

$\displaystyle{-2x + 5y = -35}\\\\5y = 2x - 35\\\\\frac{5y}{5} = \frac{2x - 35}{5}\\\\y = \frac{2}{5}x - 7$

Equation 1 is now $y=\frac{2}{5}x-7$ .

Equation 2 also needs y to be isolated.

$\displaystyle{7x+2y=25}\\\\2y=-7x+25\\\\\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{-7x+25}{2}\\\\y = -\frac{7}{2}x + \frac{25}{2}$

Equation 2 is now $y=-\frac{7}{2}x+\frac{25}{2}$ .

Now, we can graph both of these using a data table and plotting points on the graph. If the two lines intersect at a point, this is a solution for the system of equations.

The table below has unsolved y-values - we need to insert the value of x and solve for y and input these values in the table.

$\begin{array}{|c|c|} \cline{1-2} \textbf{x} & \textbf{y} \\ \cline{1-2} 0 & a \\ \cline{1-2} 1 & b \\ \cline{1-2} 2 & c \\ \cline{1-2} 3 & d \\ \cline{1-2} 4 & e \\ \cline{1-2} 5 & f \\ \cline{1-2} \end{array}$

$\bullet \ \text{For x = 0,}$

$\displaystyle{y = \frac{2}{5}(0) - 7}\\\\y = 0 - 7\\\\y = -7$

$\bullet \ \text{For x = 1,}$

$\displaystyle{y=\frac{2}{5}(1)-7}\\\\y=\frac{2}{5}-7\\\\y = -\frac{33}{5}$

$\bullet \ \text{For x = 2,}$

$\displaystyle{y=\frac{2}{5}(2)-7}\\\\y = \frac{4}{5}-7\\\\y = -\frac{31}{5}$

$\bullet \ \text{For x = 3,}$

$\displaystyle{y=\frac{2}{5}(3)-7}\\\\y= \frac{6}{5}-7\\\\y=-\frac{29}{5}$

$\bullet \ \text{For x = 4,}$

$\displaystyle{y=\frac{2}{5}(4)-7}\\\\y = \frac{8}{5}-7\\\\y=-\frac{27}{5}$

$\bullet \ \text{For x = 5,}$

$\displaystyle{y=\frac{2}{5}(5)-7}\\\\y=2-7\\\\y=-5$

Now, we can place these values in our table.

As we can see in our table, the rate of decrease is $-\frac{2}{5}$ . In case we need to determine more values, we can easily either replace x with a new value in the equation or just subtract $-\frac{2}{5}$ from the previous value.

For Equation 2, we need to use the same process. Equation 2 has been resolved to be $y=-\frac{7}{2}x+\frac{25}{2}$ . Therefore, we just use the same process as before to solve for the values.

$\bullet \ \text{For x = 0,}$

$\displaystyle{y=-\frac{7}{2}(0)+\frac{25}{2}}\\\\y = 0 + \frac{25}{2}\\\\y = \frac{25}{2}$

$\bullet \ \text{For x = 1,}$

$\displaystyle{y=-\frac{7}{2}(1)+\frac{25}{2}}\\\\y = -\frac{7}{2} + \frac{25}{2}\\\\y = 9$

$\bullet \ \text{For x = 2,}$

$\displaystyle{y=-\frac{7}{2}(2)+\frac{25}{2}}\\\\y = -7+\frac{25}{2}\\\\y = \frac{11}{2}$

$\bullet \ \text{For x = 3,}$

$\displaystyle{y=-\frac{7}{2}(3)+\frac{25}{2}}\\\\y = -\frac{21}{2}+\frac{25}{2}\\\\y = 2$

$\bullet \ \text{For x = 4,}$

$\displaystyle{y=-\frac{7}{2}(4)+\frac{25}{2}}\\\\y=-14+\frac{25}{2}\\\\y = -\frac{3}{2}$

$\bullet \ \text{For x = 5,}$

$\displaystyle{y=-\frac{7}{2}(5)+\frac{25}{2}}\\\\y = -\frac{35}{2}+\frac{25}{2}\\\\y = -5$

And now, we place these values into the table.

$\begin{array}{|c|c|} \cline{1-2} \textbf{x} & \textbf{y} \\ \cline{1-2} 0 & 25/2 \\ \cline{1-2} 1 & 9 \\ \cline{1-2} 2 & 11/2 \\ \cline{1-2} 3 & 2 \\ \cline{1-2} 4 & -3/2 \\ \cline{1-2} 5 & -5 \\ \cline{1-2} \end{array}$

When we compare our two tables, we can see that we have one similarity - the points are the same at x = 5.

Equation 1 Equation 2

$\begin{array}{|c|c|} \cline{1-2} \textbf{x} & \textbf{y} \\ \cline{1-2} 0 & -7 \\ \cline{1-2} 1 & -33/5 \\ \cline{1-2} 2 & -31/5 \\ \cline{1-2} 3 & -29/5 \\ \cline{1-2} 4 & -27/5 \\ \cline{1-2} 5 & -5 \\ \cline{1-2} \end{array}$ $\begin{array}{|c|c|} \cline{1-2} \textbf{x} & \textbf{y} \\ \cline{1-2} 0 & 25/2 \\ \cline{1-2} 1 & 9 \\ \cline{1-2} 2 & 11/2 \\ \cline{1-2} 3 & 2 \\ \cline{1-2} 4 & -3/2 \\ \cline{1-2} 5 & -5 \\ \cline{1-2} \end{array}$

Therefore, using this data, we have one solution at (5, -5).

The box plots below show attendance at a local movie theater and high school basketball games:

cricket20 [7]

The standard deviation is a better measure of spread for movies than it is for basketball games.

A box plot is a graphical rendition of statistical data based on the minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum.

As, Movies is more centric to mean and not skewed on a particular side whereas basketball games is not centric to mean but is skewed right then left.

Now, Standard deviation just measures the deviation or spread with respect to mean of collected data.

So, In the movies the data is more collected. Thus standard deviation is best suited for movie data.

Now, interquartile range. IQR relies on if the data is skewed.

So, in the basketball data the standard deviation will not give the information.

Hence, the standard deviation is a better measure of spread for movies than it is for basketball games.
