Answer:

m = 2, n = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2m + 3n = - 5 → (1)

5m + 3n = 1 → (2)

Subtract (2) from (1) term by term to eliminate n

2m - 5m = - 5 - 1

- 3m = - 6 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

m = 2

Substitute m = 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for n

Substituting into (1)

2(2) + 3n = - 5

4 + 3n = - 5 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

3n = - 9 ( divide both sides by 3 )

n = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

2m + 3n = -5

5m + 3n = 1

(Multiply each equation by a suitable number so that the two equations have the same leading coefficient)

6m + 9n = -15

15m + 9n = 3

(Subtract the second equation from the first)

15m- 6m = -15-3

-9m= -18

-9m/-9= -18/-9

m= 2

(Solve this new equation for m)

5(2) +3n = 1

10+3n=1

3n=1-10

3n=-9

3n/3 = -9/3

n= -3

(Substitute m = 2 into either Equation 1 or Equation 2 above and solve for n )

Which of the following represents the prime factorization of 72?
Katena32 [7]
If you would like to write the prime factorization of 72, you can do this using the following steps:

72 / 2 = 36
36 / 2 = 18
18 / 2 = 9
9 / 3 = 3
3 / 3 = 1

72 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 = 2^3 * 3^2

The correct result would be <span>2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 3</span>.

Using a discrete probability distribution, it is found that:

a) There is a 0.3 = 30% probability that he will mow exactly 2 lawns on a randomly selected day.

b) There is a 0.8 = 80% probability that he will mow at least 1 lawn on a randomly selected day.

c) The expected value is of 1.3 lawns mowed on a randomly selected day.

<h3>What is the discrete probability distribution?</h3>

Researching the problem on the internet, it is found that the distribution for the number of lawns mowed on a randomly selected dayis given by:

  • P(X = 0) = 0.2.
  • P(X = 1) = 0.4.
  • P(X = 2) = 0.3.
  • P(X = 3) = 0.1.

Item a:

P(X = 2) = 0.3, hence, there is a 0.3 = 30% probability that he will mow exactly 2 lawns on a randomly selected day.

Item b:

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8

There is a 0.8 = 80% probability that he will mow at least 1 lawn on a randomly selected day.

Item c:

The expected value of a discrete distribution is given by the <u>sum of each value multiplied by it's respective probability</u>, hence:

E(X) = 0(0.2) + 1(0.4) + 2(0.3) + 3(0.1) = 1.3.

The expected value is of 1.3 lawns mowed on a randomly selected day.

You are debating about whether to buy a new computer for $800.00 or a refurbished computer with the same equipment for $640.00.
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

$167.2

Step-by-step explanation:

It has been given that the price of a new computer is $800.00 and refurbished computer with the same equipment has a  price of $640.00.

Let us find the amount that we will save with a refurbished computer if we put the difference into the savings account for a year using simple interest formula.  

A=P(1+rt), where A= Amount after t years, P=principal amount, r = interest rate (decimal form) and t=time.

Our principal amount will be the difference of prices of new computer and refurbished computer.

\text{Principal amount}=800-640=160

\text{Interest rate}=\frac{4.5}{100}=0.045  

Upon substituting our given values in above formula we will get,

\text{Amount we will save with a refurbished computer}=160(1+0.045\times 1)

\text{Amount we will save with a refurbished computer}=160(1+0.045)  

\text{Amount we will save with a refurbished computer}=160(1.045)

\text{Amount we will save with a refurbished computer}=167.2

Therefore, we will save $167.2 with refurbished computer when we put the difference into the savings account for a year.

Select the correct answer.
vovangra [49]

Step-by-step explanation:

let f(x) be y

∴ y = 10x/9 +11

(y - 11 )× 9/ 10 = x

Interchange x->y and y->x

(x - 11)×9/10 = y

here y is your f⁻¹(x)

∴ f⁻¹(x) = (x - 11 )× 9/10

or, f⁻¹(x) = 9x/10 - 99/10

Option (D) is correct
