Answer:

  (x, y) = (1.25, 8.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

I choose to put these equations into reduced general form, then use the "cross multiplication method" to solve.

  2x -y +6 = 0

  10x -y -4 = 0

d1 = 2(-1) -10(-1) = 8

d2 = -1(-4) -(-1)(6) = 10

d3 = 6(10) -(-4)(2) = 68

Solutions are ...

  x = d2/d1 = 10/8 = 1.25

  y = d3/d1 = 68/8 = 8.5

The solution is (x, y) = (1.25, 8.5).

<em>Additional comment</em>

I like a graphing calculator for a quick and easy solution. When the values are not integers, I like an algebraic solution to see what the exact values are.

The "cross multiplication method" is similar to Cramer's rule in that determinants of pairs of coefficients are computed. If you look up this method, videos will show you a variation that is slightly different. Here, we determined d1, d2, and d3 as the 2×2 determinant of the coefficients in adjacent columns of the array you get from the general form equations with the first column repeated:

  \begin{array}{cccc}2&-1&6&2\\10&-1&-4&10\end{array}

In each pair, the determinant is the difference between the product of numbers on the down-diagonal and the product of numbers on the up-diagonal.

The determinants relate to the x- and y-values by ...

  1/d1 = x/d2 = y/d3   ⇒   x = d2/d1, y = d3/d1

There is a Vedic solution method for linear equations that is similar to this, but starts from equations in standard form. As a consequence, the cross-differences are done in a different order.

Standard form: ax +by = c

General form: ax +by +c = 0

Find an equation of the line that passes through the points (1,2) and (2,3).
klemol [59]

Answer:

y=x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(3-2)/(2-1)

m=1/1

m=1

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-2=1(x-1)

y-2=x-1

y=x-1+2

y=x+1

HELPP!!! 30 POINTS!!! WILL MARK BRAINLYIST!! Step 1: Written Response (30 points) Using complete sentences, compare the fat cont
yan [13]

Answer:

median a= 65 b= 75 c=68

This shows the median of each fat content of each restaurant showing that restaurant c is closer to that of 'restaurant a ' than a is to 'restaurant b' and near to 1/7 lower than that of restaurant b which shows they are all highly skewed with each other upon their graph.

The measures of spread start with 55 to 72 for 'restaurant a' where the upper and lower quartiles  are 70-60 showing a distribution 10-17 into the whisker plot.

Compared to restaurant b which shows a measure of spread start with 65 to 90 for 'restaurant b' where the upper and lower quartiles are 85 - 68 into the whisker plot and show a spread of 3 in the left exterior and 5 spread in the right exterior to the upper quartile. So in comparison to restaurant a that restaurant b has a greater spread in the interquartile range = 15  where restaurant a =10.

For the outer quartile the comparison to restaurant a is twice as small meaning restaurant a is greater by over double and shown as   53 <a < 60 which when showing both outer quartiles we can use the amounts being 7 and 70<a<72 = 2

and show closed dots on equality line number line separately showing a<-7  and a>2 for each outer exterior quartile. For restaurant b this shows opposite similar equalities 65<b< 68 = b>-3 and   82<b<89 = b>7

So the differences are smaller for b for left side by 4 and larger for b by 5 up on the right side.

We compare both to restaurant c and find c =   60<c<61 = c>-1 and 70<c<71 = c>1 so the differences are that the outer quartile for c through the other quartiles = -2> c < -6 . This shows how smaller c is compared to a and b outer quartiles). We can also prove that while the outer quartiles are much more smaller for c than a and b we cna prove that c actually has an inner quartile more similar to c and closer distribution of b as the median is more closer for a and c where b has a greater output for median as restaurant b has the higher fat content and greater distribution within the inner quartiles over all.

Summary findings Restaurant c outer quartile is moderately skewed as they show -1 -0.5  on the left side and 1-0.5 on the right side. Restaurant a has a closer median inner quartile to c and closer distribution of inner distribution of c. It's output outer quartile distribiution is a distribution that is higher than b but a smaller inner quartile compared to b, when this happens then the distribution spread shows less range and fewer products to account for.

So i think restaurant b has the higher fat content to its menu.

Where restaurant a must be the healthiest as it holds the lowest range and larger gap is such range for healthier food.ie) when compared to the others. 

Meanings of what we are asked.

In a box and whisker plot: the ends of the box are the upper and lower quartiles, so the box spans the interquartile range. the median is marked by a vertical line inside the box. the whiskers are the two lines outside the box that extend to the highest and lowest observations.

Skewness refers to distortion or asymmetry in a symmetrical bell curve, or normal distribution, in a set of data. If the curve is shifted to the left or to the right, it is said to be skewed. Skewness can be quantified as a representation of the extent to which a given distribution varies from a normal distribution.

As a general rule of thumb:

If skewness is less than -1 or greater than 1, the distribution is highly skewed.

If skewness is between -1 and -0.5 or between 0.5 and 1, the distribution is moderately skewed.

If skewness is between -0.5 and 0.5, the distribution is approximately symmetric.

A right triangle has side lengths 7, 24, and 25 as shown below.
ddd [48]

Answer:

Steps below

Step-by-step explanation:

The value depends on which angle is B, suppose ∠B is the opposite angle of side length 7

sin B = 7/25

cos B = 24/25

tan B = 7/24

if ∠B opposite to side length of 24

sin B = 24/25

cos B = 7/25

tan B = 24/7
