Answer:

1. The system of equations is given as follows;

S + L = $1,300................(1)

S + 2·C = $1,400............(2)

S + L + C = $1,600.........(3)

Where;

S = The cost of a sofa

L = The cost of a love sea

C = The cost of a single chair

2. The cost of a love sea, L is $500

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The given information are;

The price of sofa and love sea = $1,300

The price of sofa and two chairs = $1,400

The price of sofa, love sea, and one chair = $1,600

Let the cost of a sofa = S

Let the cost of a love sea = L

Let the cost of a chair = C

Therefore, we have;

S + L = $1,300................(1)

S + 2·C = $1,400............(2)

S + L + C = $1,600.........(3)

2. From equation (1), we have;

L = $1,300 - S

Similarly, from equation (2),we have;

C = ($1,400 - S)/2

Substituting the values of L and C in equation (3), we have;

S + $1,300 - S + ($1,400 - S)/2 = $1,600

Which gives;

($1,400 - S)/2 = $1,600 - $1,300 = $300

$1,400 - S = 2 × $300 = $600

$1,400 = $600 + S

$600 + S = $1,400

S = $1,400 - $600 = $800

S = $800

The cost of a love seat, L, is given from the relation L = $1,300 - S, above, which gives;

L = $1,300 - $800 = $500

The cost of a love sea, L is $500 .

Train A and train B stops at Swindon at 10:30 . Train A stops every twelve minutes and train B stops every 14 Mins , when do the

Nata [24]

Answer: at 11:54

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define the 10:30 as our t = 0 min.

We know that Train A stops every 12 mins, and Train B stops every 14 mins, they will stop at the same time in the least common multiple of 12 and 14.

To find the least common multiple of two numbers, we must do:

LCM(a,b) = a*b/GCD(a,b)

Where GCD(a, b) is the greatest common divisor of a and b.

In this case the only common divisior of 12 and 14 is 2.

So we have:

LCM(12, 14) = 12*14/2 = 84.

Then the both trains will stop 84 minutes after 10:30

one hour has 60 mins, so we can write 84 minutes as:

1 hour and 24 minutes = 1:24

Then they will stop at the same time at 10:30 + 1:24 = 11:54

Oil leaks out of a tanker at a rate of r=f(t) liters per minute, where t is in minutes. If f(t)=Ae^(−kt), write a definite integ

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

The definite integral expressing the total quantity of oil, 'V', which leaks out of the tanker in the first hour is given as follows;

$V = \int\limits^{60}_0 {A \cdot e^{(-k \cdot t)}} \, dt$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we have;

The rate at which oil leaks out of the tanker, r = f(t)

The unit of the oil leak = Liters per minute

The unit of t = Minutes

$If \ f(t) = A \cdot e^{(-k \cdot t )}$

Therefore, we have;

The definite integral expressing the total quantity, 'V', of oil which leaks out of the tanker in the first hour is given as follows;

$V = \int\limits^{60}_0 {A \cdot e^{(-k \cdot t)}} \, dt$

Therefore, we have;

$\int\limits^{60}_0 {A \cdot e^{(-k \cdot t)}} \, dt = \dfrac{A \cdot e ^{60 \cdot k} - A}{k \cdot e ^{60 \cdot k} }$

Consumers Energy states that the average electric bill across the state is $67.16. You want to test the claim that the average b

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

B: No error has occured

Step-by-step explanation:

In statistical hypothesis testing, we have two types of errors namely Type I error and Type II error.

Type I error occurs when we reject the null hypothesis although it is true. Meanwhile, Type II error occurs when we fail to reject the null hypothesis null hypothesis even though it is false.

Now, we are given the null and alternative hypothesis as;

Null Hypothesis: μ ≤ 67.16

Alternative Hypothesis: μ > 67.16.

Where μ represents the statewide average bill.

We are also given the true statewide average bill is $51.28.

Now, the true statewide average bill falls within the range of the null hypothesis given.

Thus, we can't reject the null hypothesis since it is true.

Now, we are told the null hypothesis is not rejected and that is correct.

Thus, there is no error as it doesn't fall into the type I or the type II error.
