Answer:

(x, y) = (2, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to find the least common multiple of the denominators of each of the equations. If the denominators have no common factors, a reasonable choice is their product. Here, it works to start with the fractions that must be added, then compare the LCM found to the denominator on the right to see if any further factors must be included.

<u>First equation</u>:

LCM = 3×4 = 12

12(2x/3 -y/4) = 12(7/12) . . . . . multiply the equation by 12

8x -3y = 7 . . . . . . . . . simplify

<u>Second equation</u>:

LCM = 4×5 =20

20(3x/4 -2y/5) = 20(3/10) . . . . multiply equation by 20

15x -8y = 6 . . . . . . simplify

<u>Solve by elimination</u>

We can eliminate the y-variable by subtracting 3 times the second equation from 8 times the first:

8(8x -3y) -3(15x -8y) = 8(7) -3(6)

19x = 38 . . . . . simplify

x = 2 . . . . . . . divide by 19

Substituting into the first equation gives ...

8(2) -3y = 7

3y = 9 . . . . . . add 3y-7

y = 3 . . . . . divide by 3

The solution is ...

(x, y) = (2, 3)

_____

There are many ways to solve such a system of equations. Using the LCM to eliminate fractions is one way to start. You can also do the arithmetic with the fractions intact, though most folks don't care to. In addition to the elimination method used here, you can use matrix or graphical methods, substitution, or any of the variations of Cramer's Rule.

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer: d)In repeated samples of the same size, approximately 95 percent of the intervals constructed from the samples will capture the population difference in means.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval is constructed to estimate a range of values that could possibly contain the population parameter. This could be the population mean or population proportion. A 95 percent confidence interval does not mean 95% probability. It tells how confident that we are that the confidence interval contains the population proportion. If we construct 100 of the given confidence interval, we are confident that 95% of them would contain the true population parameter. Therefore, the correct option is

d)In repeated samples of the same size, approximately 95 percent of the intervals constructed from the samples will capture the population difference in means.

PLEASE HELP: Choose the function whose graph is given by:

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

The function of the graph is y = 3 cos (4x) ⇒ answer A

Step-by-step explanation:

- If the equation is y = A cos (B x)

* A is the amplitude

- The amplitude is the height from highest to lowest points and

divide the answer by 2

* The period is 2π/B

- The period is the distance from one peak to the next peak

* Lets look to the graph

- The maximum value is 3 and the minimum value is -3

∵ The height from the maximum point to the minimum point is

3 - (-3) = 3 + 3 = 6

∴ The amplitude is 6/2 = 3

∵ A is the amplitude

∴ A = 3

- The distance between two consecutive peaks is π/2

∵ The period is the distance from one peak to the next peak

∴ The period = π/2

∵ The period = 2π/B

∴ 2π/B = π/2 ⇒ divide both sides by π

∴ 2/B = 1/2 ⇒ by using cross multiplication

∴ B = 4

- Lets write the form of the function

∵ y = A cos (Bx)

∵ A = 3 and B = 4

∴ y = 3 cos (4x)

* The function of the graph is y = 3 cos (4x)

Let x and y be real numbers satisfying 2/x=y/3=x/y Determine the value of x^3

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If x and y be real numbers satisfying 2/x=y/3=x/y, then any two of the equation are equated as shown;

2/x = y/3 ... 1 and;

y/3 = x/y... 2

From equation 1, 2y = 3x ... 3

and from equation 2; y² = 3x ... 4

Equating the left hand side of equation 3 and 4 since their right hand sides are equal, we will have;

2y = y²

2 = y

y = 2

Substituting y = 2 into equation 3 to get the value of x;

2y = 3x

2(2) = 3x

4 = 3x

x = 4/3

The value of x³ will be expressed as (4/3)³ = 4*4*4/3*3*3 = 64/27

Brody has his computer repaired at store A. His bill was:

PIT_PIT [208]

Initial repair cost = $1200

Gratuity = 15% of the initial repair cost

= 15% of 1200

$=\frac{15}{100} (1200)$

= 15 × 12

= 180

Hence, the gratuity for the service is $180.
