If x and y satisfy both 9x+2y=8 and 7x+2y=4, then y=?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alex2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The value of y is -5

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

9x+2y=8 ------> equation A

7x+2y=4 ------> equation B

we know that

If x and y satisfy both equations, then (x,y) is the solution of the system of equations

Using a graphing tool

Remember that

The solution of the systems of equations is the intersection point both graphs

The intersection point is (2,-5)

therefore

The solution of the system of equations is the point (2,-5)

The value of y is -5

frozen [14]

Answer:

$6,020,826.711

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the present value of that year salary is shown below:

As we know that

Present value in case of continuous compounding, the formula is

= \frac{Guaranteed\ amount}{e^{0.067 \times 6}}

where,

The Guaranteed amount is $9,000,000

The Time period is 6 years

And, the interest rate is 6.7%

Now placing these values

So, the present value is

= \frac{\$9,000,000}{e^{0.067 \times 6}}

= $6,020,826.711

IgorC [24]

Answer:

The 98% confidence interval would be given by (0.326;0.354)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Notation and definitions

X=63 number of people who live within 20 miles of the coast in high hurricane risk counties of eight southern states

n=6138 random sample taken

\hat p=0.34 estimated proportion of people who live within 20 miles of the coast in high hurricane risk counties of eight southern states

p true population proportion of people who live within 20 miles of the coast in high hurricane risk counties of eight southern states

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

The population proportion have the following distribution

p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})

2) Confidence interval

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 98% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.98=0.02 and \alpha/2 =0.01. And the critical value would be given by:

z_{\alpha/2}=-2.33, z_{1-\alpha/2}=2.33

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:  

\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}

If we replace the values obtained we got:

0.34 - 2.33\sqrt{\frac{0.34(1-0.34)}{6138}}=0.326

0.34 + 2.33\sqrt{\frac{0.34(1-0.34)}{6138}}=0.354

The 98% confidence interval would be given by (0.326;0.354)

Company B Loses $1,575 for every employee who quit before 90days, What what is the total amount the company will lose if 2 emplo
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer: The total amount is $4,725.


Step-by-step explanation:

1. Based on the information given in the problem, when an employee quit before 90 days, the company loses $1,575.

2. Then, the number of employees that quit before 90 days were:

(2+1)=3 employees

3. To calculate the total amount that the company will lose if these 3 employees quit before 90 days, you must multiply 3 employees by $1,575, as following:

total=(3)(1,575dollars)\\total=4,725dollars

4. The result is $4,725.
