Answer:

R = 4

s = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

r + 4s = -8

3r + 2s = 6

there are several ways to solve this system but i chose the elimination method and multiplied the second equation by -2 to get:

-6r - 4s = -12 and added it to the first equation

+ 1r + 4s = -8

-5r = -20

r = 4

plug in to find 's': 4 + 4s = -8

4s = -12

s = -3

If a/b < c/d with b > 0, d > 0, prove that a+c / b+d lies between the two fractions a/b and c/d .

Tems11 [23]

Divide through everything by b :

$\dfrac{a+c}{b+d} = \dfrac{\dfrac ab + \dfrac cb}{1 + \dfrac db}$

Since a/b < c/d, it follows that

$\dfrac{a+c}{b+d} < \dfrac{\dfrac cd+\dfrac cb}{1 + \dfrac db}$

Multiply through everything on the right side by b/d to get

$\dfrac{a+c}{b+d} < \dfrac{\dfrac{bc}{d^2}+\dfrac cd}{\dfrac bd+1} = \dfrac{\dfrac cd\left(\dfrac bd+1\right)}{\dfrac bd+1} = \dfrac cd$

and so (a + c)/(b + d) < c/d.

For the other side, you can do something similar and divide through everything by d :

$\dfrac{a+c}{b+d} = \dfrac{\dfrac ad + \dfrac cd}{\dfrac bd + 1}$

and a/b < c/d tells us that

$\dfrac{a+c}{b+d} > \dfrac{\dfrac ad + \dfrac ab}{\dfrac bd + 1}$

Then

$\dfrac{a+c}{b+d} > \dfrac{\dfrac ab + \dfrac{ad}{b^2}}{1 + \dfrac db} = \dfrac{\dfrac ab\left(1+\dfrac db\right)}{1 + \dfrac db} = \dfrac ab$

and so (a + c)/(b + d) > a/b.

Then together we get the desired inequality.

The mean amount spent by a family of four on food is $500 per month with a standard deviation of $75. Assuming that the food cos

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

$z=\frac{x- \mu}{\sigma}$

And replacing we got:

$z=\frac{425-500}{75}= -1$

And we can calculate this probabilit using the normal standard distribution or excel and we got:

$P(z$

Step-by-step explanation:

If we define the random variable of interest "the amount spent by a family of four of food per month" and we know the following parameter:

$\mu = 500, \sigma = 75$

And we want to find the following probability:

$P(X$

And we can use the z score formula given by:

$z=\frac{x- \mu}{\sigma}$

And replacing we got:

$z=\frac{425-500}{75}= -1$

And we can calculate this probabilit using the normal standard distribution or excel and we got:

$P(z$
