Answer:

The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation are

$y=4x-3$

$y=-5x+9$

On solving both the equation, we get

$4x-3=-5x+9$

$4x+5x=9+3$

$9x=12$

$9x=\frac{12}{9}=\frac{4}{3}$

Put this value in the given equation.

$y=4(\frac{4}{3})-3$

$y=\frac{16}{3}-3$

$y=\frac{16-9}{3}$

$y=\frac{7}{3}$

The solution of the given system of equation is

$(\frac{4}{3},\frac{7}{3})=(1.333,2.333)\approx (1.3,2.3)$

The best approximation of the exact solution is (1.3,2.3). Therefore the correct option is B.

Answer:

B. (1.3, 2.3)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find approximate solution of the system of equations, we need to equivate the two given equations and solve for x and y.

y = 4x - 3 and y = -5x + 9

4x - 3 = -5x + 9

Isolating the variables and constants, we get

4x + 5x = 9 + 3

9x = 12

Dividing both sides by 9, we get

x = 12 ÷ 9

x = $\frac{4}{3}$

x = 1.3

Now plug in x = $\frac{4}{3}$ in the equation y = 4x - 3 to find the value of y.

y = 4( $\frac{4}{3}$ ) - 3

y = $\frac{16}{3}$ - 3

y = $\frac{16 - 9}{3}$

y = $\frac{7}{3}$

y = 2.3

So, x = 1.3 and y = 2.3 is the approximate solution.

Therefore, answer is B. (1.3, 2.3)

A sample of baseball games shows that the mean length of the games is 179.83 minutes. (The data is given in BaseballTimes if you

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer: Yes, This sample provide evidence that the length of time for baseball games is more than 170 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Mean length of the games = 179.83

Standard error = 3.75

We need to find the value of P(X>170).

So, it becomes,

$z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{s}=\dfrac{179-170}{3.75}\\\\z=2.4$

Let $z_{crict}=1.64$

Since z is greater than z(critical value).

So,Yes, This sample provide evidence that the length of time for baseball games is more than 170 minutes.

The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "c. translate circle J by (x-a, y-b) and dilate by a factor of t/s." Circle J is located in the first quadrant with center (a, b) and radius s. Felipe transforms Circle J to prove that it is similar to any circle centered <span>at the origin with radius r.</span>

The vertices of ΔRST are R(–1,–1), S(–1,11) and T(4,11). Which could be the side lengths of a triangle that is similar but not c

Step2247 [10]

The side lengths could be 10, 24 and 26 units.

We must first find the side lengths. We use the distance formula to do this.

For RT:
$d=\sqrt{(11--1)^2+(-1--1)^2}
\\=\sqrt{(11+1)^2+(-1+1)^2}
\\=\sqrt{12^2+0^2}=\sqrt{144}=12$

For ST:
$d=\sqrt{(11-11)^2+(4--1)^2}
\\=\sqrt{0^2+(4+1)^2}=\sqrt{5^2}=\sqrt{25}=5$

For TR:
$d=\sqrt{(11--1)^2+(4--1)^2}
\\=\sqrt{(11+1)^2+(4+1)^2}=\sqrt{12^2+5^2}=\sqrt{144+25}=\sqrt{169}=13$

Our side lengths, from least to greatest, are 5, 12 and 13.

To be similar but not congruent, the side lengths must have the same ratio between corresponding sides but not be the same length. 10, 24 and 26 are all 2x the original side lengths, so this works.

The base of a solid right pyramid is a regular hexagon with

cupoosta [38]

Answer: Last option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Observe the base of the pyramid, which is a regular hexagon. You can see that there is a right triangle.

The area of the triangle can be calculated with this formula:

$A_t=\frac{bh}{2}$

Where "b" is the base and "h" is the height.

You can say that the apothem is the height of the right triangle, then, you need to find the base applying the Pythagorean Theorem:

$(2x)^2=(x\sqrt{3})^2+b^2\\\\b=\sqrt{(2x)^2-(x\sqrt{3})^2} \\\\b=\sqrt{4x^2-3x^2}\\\\b=\sqrt{x^2}\\\\b=x$

Then, the area of the triangle is:

$A_t=\frac{x(x\sqrt{3})}{2}=\frac{x^2\sqrt{3})}{2}$

Since the base of the pyramid is a regular hexagon, then you can multiply by 12 the area of the right triangle calculated above, in order to find the area of the hexagon. Then you get:

$A_h=12(\frac{x^2\sqrt{3})}{2})=6x^2\sqrt{3}\ units^2$

aniked [119]

This is how we solved and make the equation.
Stock A = 100
Stock B = 45

For the past months, his stocks inversely decreased.
Stock A = m cents / share
Stock B = n cents * share

So the equation is
= 100 (0.01m) + 45 (0.01n)
