Answer:

<h3>Option 4: y = 3 – 2a</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the simultaneous equation;

ax + by = ab  ......... 1

2ax + 3by = 3b .....2

Required

Express y in terms of a

Using elimination method to eliminate x variable.

eqn 1 * 2 and eqn 2 *1 will give;

2ax + 2by = 2ab

2ax + 3by = 3b

Subtract

2by - 3by = 2ab - 3b

-by = 2ab - 3b

-by = b(2a-3)

-y = 2a-3

multiply through by -1

y = -2a + 3

y = 3-2a

Hence the value of y in terms of a is y = 3-2a

Find the average rate of change of the function defined by the following table. x y -2 -5 2 35 6 75 10 115
Pani-rosa [81]

By definition we have that the average rate of change of the function is:

 AVR =  \frac{f(x2) - f(x1)}{x2 - x1}

 Evaluating the function for the complete interval we have that the AVR is given by:

 AVR = \frac{115 - (-5)}{10 - (-2)}

 Rewriting we have:

 AVR = \frac{115+5}{10+2}

 Simplifying the expression we have:

 AVR = \frac{120}{12}

 AVR = 10

 Answer:

 the average rate of change of the function defined by the table is:

 AVR = 10

The first task of the Segment Two Honors Project is to select the Power Pill study participants’ groups and research board offic
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

Part 1: There are 4.7*10^21 ways to select 40 volunteers in subgroups of 10

Part 2: The research board can be chosen in 32760 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1:

The number of ways in which we can organized n elements into k groups with size n1, n2,...nk is calculate as:

\frac{ n!}{ n1!*n2!*...*nk! }

So, in this case we can form 4 subgroups with 10 participants each one, replacing the values of:

  • n by 40 participants
  • k by 4 groups
  • n1, n2, n3 and n4 by 10 participants of every subgroups

We get:

\frac{ 40!}{10!*10!*10!*10!} = 4.7*10^{21}

Part 2:

The number of ways in which we can choose k element for a group of n elements and the order in which they are chose matters is calculate with permutation as:

nPk = \frac{ n!}{(n-k)!}

So in this case there are 4 offices in the research board, those are director,  assistant director, quality control analyst and correspondent. Additionally this 4 offices are going to choose from a group of 5 doctors.

Therefore, replacing values of:

  • n by 15 doctors
  • k by 4 offices

We get:

\frac{ 15!}{ (15-4)! } = 32760

Consider the conjecture that the sum of a rational number and an irrational number is ALWAYS irrational. To try to prove this co
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

B) irrational. Since an irrational number cannot equal a rational number.  

The premise that c is rational is false

Step-by-step explanation:

The assumption that c is rational means that the difference c-a must be rational. That difference is b, so b=c-a would mean that b must be rational. But b is defined to be irrational. Since an irrational number cannot equal a rational number, a contradiction arises and the assumption that c is rational must be false. Therefore the sum (c) must be irrational. (B)
