Answer:

x = 8, and y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this by taking y as (x-8), as it states there.

Since y is equal to x-8, we can rearrange the system of equations into one single equation.

We can multiply y by 8, as it shows in the first equation, which is something like 8x-64.

Since it is a negative 8 being multiplied by y, it would be the inverse of 8x-64, which is -8x+64.

We can now organize our equation here.

3x - 8x + 64 = 24.

We can use subtraction property of equality by subtracing 64 from both sides to get rid of it.

We will get something like:

3x - 8x + 64 - 64 = 24 - 64.

Simplify by solving like terms like the x value and the integers.

-5x = -40

Divide both sides with division property of equality:

-5/5x = -40/5

x = 8

We can then plug the 8 back into x, lets use the second equation because I'm lazy and it looks the easiest to solve for.

y = (8) - 8

y = 0

Therefore, x = 8, and y = 0.

Answer:

3x - 8y = 24 --------(1)

y = x - 8 ---------(2)

substitute y in (1)

3x - 8( x - 8) = 24

3x - 8x + 64 = 24

-5x = 24 - 64

-5x = -40

5x = 40

x= 8

substitute x in (2)

y = 2 - 8

y = - 6

Use a known maclaurin series to obtain the maclaurin series for the given function. f(x = 8x2 tan?1(7x3

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Going out on a limb here and guessing that the function is

$f(x)=8x^2\tan^{-1}(7x^3)$

Please correct me if this isn't the case.

Recall that

$\tan^{-1}x=\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge0}\frac{(-1)^nx^{2n+1}}{2n+1}$

which converges for $|x|$ .

It follows that

$8x^2\tan^{-1}(7x^3)=8x^2\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge0}\frac{(-1)^n(7x^3)^{2n+1}}{2n+1}$
$=\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge0}\frac{56(-49)^nx^{6n+3}}{2n+1}$

A family is trying to pick from different shades of paint for their living room. They have narrowed it down to 10 colors: 3 diff

NeTakaya

Answer:

30%

Step-by-step explanation:

A family is trying to pick from different shades of paint for their living room. They have narrowed it down to 10 colors: 3 different blues and 7 different greens. The family decides to just randomly select a color from these. What is the probability they will pick a shade of blue? Choose the answer in percent form. Question 3 options: 50% 100% 70% 30%

First, we need to convert the probability of picking a blue shade into a fraction.

= 3/10

Since this is by 10, we need to times 0.3 (numerator) by 10 (the number of outcomes) Whatever you do to the numerator, you do to the denominator. This means that you also times 10 by 10

This gives you 30/100

Since a percentage is out of 100, you don't need to change anything, just take away the 100 and put a percentage sign.

=30%

A health study tracked a group of person for five years. At the beginning of the study, 20% were classified as heavy smokers, 30

Aleks04 [339]

Answer: 0.421

Step-by-step explanation:

Heavy smoker = 20%

Light smoker = 30%

Non smokers = 50%

We can assume that the probability that a non-smoker is going to die in the next 5 years be y.

Since light smokers were twice as likely as nonsmokers to die during the five-year study, the probability will be:

= 2 × y = 2y

Probability for the Heavy smokers will be:= 2 × 2y = 4y

The expected number of people that will die for each in the next 5 years will be:

Non smoker:

= 50% × y

= 0.5 × y

= 0.5y

Light smoker:

= 30% × 2y

= 0.3 × 2y.

= 0.6y

Heavy smoker:

= 20% × 4y.

= 0.2 × 4y

= 0.8y

Total = 0.5y + 0.6y + 0.8y = 1.9y

The probability that the participant was a heavy smoker will be:

= 0.8y/1.9y

= 0.421

3x²-9x+1+0 Find the discriminant

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

$\boxed{D = 69}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic equation is:

$3x^2-9x+1 = 0$

Comparing it with the standard form of Quadratic Equation $ax^2+bx+c = 0$ , we get:

a = 3, b = -9 and c = 1

Discriminant = b² - 4ac

D = (-9)²-4(3)(1)

D = 81 - 12

D = 69
