Step-by-step explanation:

  • v = speed of the wind

5(550 + v) = 6(550 - v)

2.750 + 5v = 3.330 - 6v

5v + 6v = 3.300 - 2.750

11v = 550

v = 550 ÷ 11

v = 50mph

Step-by-step explanation:

let v is the speed of the wind,

the equation of the speed:

(550 + v ) × 5 = (550 - v) × 6

2750 +5v = 3300 - 6v

11v = 3300 - 2750

11v = 550

v = 550/11

v = 50

therefore, the speed of the wind =

50 mph

Ahh yes, negative exponents always give us a scare once and a while. All the negative means is to flip the position of its base. For instance, if x has a negative exponent and x in the denominator, all you would have to do is move x to the numerator with the same power (except it's no longer negative). Before we substitute x and all the other variables which the values given, let's eliminate the negatives first.

After flipping positions/eliminating the negative exponents it should look like this:

\frac{ 2^{2} x^{3} }{ y^{5} }
which simplifies to 
\frac{ 4 x^{3} }{ y^{5} }
now that everything is simplified, and all negative exponents are eliminated we can substitute x with 2, and y with (-4).
\frac{4 (2)^{3} }{ (-4)^{5} }
which simplifies to 
\frac{4(8)}{(-1024)} = \frac{32}{-1024} = - \frac{1}{32}

Final Answer: - \frac{1}{32} [/tex]

It would be an average of about 8.00 (7.99 to be somewhat exact). You get this by dividing the total amount by 200, the dividing that by 363.

Answer:

The correct option is C) 21.1 and 0.68  

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The mean composite score was 21.1 with a standard deviation of 4.8. The ACT composite score ranges from 1 to 36, with higher scores indicating greater achievement in high school.

Therefore μ = 21.1 and σ = 4.8

It is given that the sample of 50 students;

Thus, sample size ( n ) = 50

According to the central limit theorem,

\mu_{\bar x}=\mu\ and \ \sigma_{\bar x}=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Therefore

\mu_{\bar x}=21.1

\sigma_{\bar x}=\frac{4.8}{\sqrt{50}}

\sigma_{\bar x}=0.68

Hence, the correct option is C) 21.1 and 0.68

(12x + y + z = 26
mel-nik [20]

Option D. D has the matrix of constants [[12], [11], [4]].

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

With the given equations, we can form matrices to represent them.

The coefficients of x, y, and z form a matrix of order 3 ×3, the variables x, y, and z form a matrix of order 1 ×3 and the constants form a matrix of order 1 ×3.

Step 2:

The linear system A is represented as

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}12&1&1\\1&-11&0\\1&-1&4\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}26\\17\\23\end{array}\right].

Step 3:

The linear system B is represented as

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4&1&1\\1&-11&0\\1&-1&12\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}23\\17\\26\end{array}\right].

Step 4:

The linear system C is represented as

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1\\1&-1&0\\1&-1&1\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}4\\11\\12\end{array}\right].

Step 5:

The linear system D is represented as

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1\\1&-1&0\\1&-1&1\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}12\\11\\4\end{array}\right].

Step 6:

Of the four options, the linear system D has the matrix of constants [[12], [11], [4]]. So the answer is option D. D.
