Use the linear combination method to solve this system of equations. What is the value of x? A. Negative 2.4 x minus 3.6 y = 1.2. 2.4 x + 1.2 y = 1.2. B. Negative 1 C. 0 D. 1

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x=1 , y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

-2.4x-3.6y = 1.2

2.4x+1.2y = 1.2

Add the equations together

-2.4x-3.6y = 1.2

2.4x+1.2y = 1.2

---------------------------

   -2.4 y = 2.4

Divide by -2.4

y = -1

Now find x

2.4x +1.2y = 1.2

2.4x +1.2(-1) = 1.2

2.4x -1.2 = 1.2

Add 1.2 to each side

2.4x -1.2+1.2 = 1.2+1.2

2.4x = 2.4

Divide by 2.4

x = 1

Bar notation of 2.034034.... is  [tex]2.\overline{034}[/tex], 0.9222... is  [tex]0.9\overline{2}[/tex], 0.7777... is [tex]0.\overline{7}[/tex]

What is bar notation for non terminating and recurring decimals?

Non terminating and recurring decimal expansion are those in which the decimal expansion does not terminates and a certain number of group of numbers keep repeating in the expansion.

For example 10/3 = 3.33333..... here the decimal expansion is non terminating and 3 is recurring in the expansion.

Instead of writing this repeating part again and again we put a bar on the numbers that keep repeating.                  

Bar notation of  3.33333... is written as  [tex]3.\overline{3}[/tex]

Given decimal expansions are

a.  2.034034....

We can see that this decimal expansion is non terminating, recurring and 034 is recurring part of decimal expansion so bar will come on 034 after decimal.

Bar notation of 2.034034.... = [tex]2.\overline{034}[/tex]

b. 0.9222....

We can see that this decimal expansion is non terminating, recurring and 2 is recurring part of decimal expansion so bar will come on 2 after decimal.

Bar notation of 0.9222... = [tex]0.9\overline{2}[/tex]

c. 0.7777....

We can see that this decimal expansion is non terminating, recurring and 7 is recurring part of decimal expansion so bar will come on 7 after decimal.

Bar notation of 0.7777... = [tex]0.\overline{7}[/tex]

Find the sum of the digits of the number 6+66+666+6666 + ... +666...66, where the last number contains 100 digits.

Answers

Answer:

Sum of the digits of the number

     [tex]= ((\frac{60((10)^{100}-1) }{81}) - \frac{600}{9} )[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given series

6+66+666+6666 + ... +666...66 up to 100 digits

Taking common '6'

6 ( 1 + 11 +111+ 1111+1111+.................11111....11 100 digits)

Multiply '9' and divisible by'9'

[tex]\frac{6}{9} X9( 1+11 +111 +1111 +1111+ ..........11111..up to .100 digits )[/tex]

Multiply inside '9'

[tex]\frac{6}{9}( 9+99 +999 +9999 +.....+ ..........9999..up to .100 digits )[/tex]

[tex]\frac{6}{9}( (10-1)+(100-1)+(1000-1) +(10,000-1)+.....+ ............up to .100 digits )[/tex]

[tex]\frac{6}{9}( (10)+(100)+(1000) +(10,000)+.....+ ............up to .100 digits ) - ( 1+1+1+1+........up to 100 digits)[/tex]

Step(ii):-

we know that sum of geometric series

[tex]S_{n} = \frac{a(r^{n}-1) }{r-1}[/tex]

we know that

a + a + a+........n terms = n a

[tex]\frac{6}{9}( (10)+(10)^{2} +(10)^{3} +(10)^4+.....+ ............up to .100 digits - (100(1))[/tex]  ....(i)

The sum of the 100 digits in geometric series

[tex]S_{100} = \frac{10((10)^{100}-1) }{10-1}[/tex]

Now the equation (i)

The sum of the digits of the number  

      [tex]= \frac{6}{9} ((\frac{10((10)^{100}-1) }{10-1}) - 100)[/tex]

Find the measure of each marked angle.

X degree= ? Degree

(X+50) Degree =? Degree

(180-3x) Degree =? Degree

(Simplify your answers. Type an integer or a fraction.)

Answers

Answer:

x degrees = 50 degrees.

x + 50 degrees = 50  + 50 = 100 degrees

(180 - 3x) degrees = (180 - 3*50) = 30 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a triangle, the sum of all inside angles must be 180 degrees.

In this question:

The inside angles are: x, x + 50 and 180 - 3x.

Then

x + x + 50 + 180 - 3x = 180

2x - 3x = -50

x = 50

So

x degrees = 50 degrees.

x + 50 degrees = 50  + 50 = 100 degrees

(180 - 3x) degrees = (180 - 3*50) = 30 degrees.

Answers

Answer:

Check Explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Although, the density curve for this question is missing and isn't available online, I would use an example of another density curve to explain how this could be easily done.

From the density curve attached to this question, the total area under the curve is the are of the triangular shape formed by this curve with the x-axis.

Total Area under the curve = ½×base×height

= ½ × (5-1) × 0.5 = 1 square unit

Area under the density curve where x is less than 4 is a trapezium.

Area of a trapezium = ½ (a+b) h

For the area under the density curve where x is less than 4,

a = 0.5, b = (0.5/4) = 0.125, h = (4-1) = 3

Area under the density curve where x is less than 4 = ½ (0.5+0.125) × 3 = 0.9375 square unit

In terms of the total area, Area under the density curve where x is less than 4 covers

(0.9375/1) × 100% = 93.75%

The radius of a circle is 4 feet. What is the area of a sector bounded by a 45° arc?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Area = 6.28\ ft^2[/tex] or [tex]Area = 2 \pi\ ft^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Radius, r = 4ft[/tex]

[tex]Angle, \theta = 45[/tex]

Required

Calculate the area of the sector

When angle is given in degrees, the area of sector is calculated as thus;

[tex]Area = \frac{\theta}{360} * \pi * r^2[/tex]

[tex]Substitute\ r = 4\ and\ \theta = 45[/tex]

[tex]Area = \frac{\theta}{360} * \pi * r^2[/tex] becomes

[tex]Area = \frac{45}{360} * \pi * 4^2[/tex]

[tex]Area = \frac{45}{360} * \pi * 16[/tex]

[tex]Area = \frac{45*16}{360} * \pi[/tex]

[tex]Area = \frac{720}{360} * \pi[/tex]

[tex]Area = 2 * \pi[/tex]

[tex]Area = 2 \pi\ ft^2[/tex]

The above is the area in terms of π

Solving further.... (Take π as 3.14)

[tex]Area = 2 \pi\ ft^2[/tex] becomes

[tex]Area = 2 * 3.14\ ft^2[/tex]

[tex]Area = 6.28\ ft^2[/tex]

Hence, the area of the sector is

[tex]Area = 6.28\ ft^2[/tex] or [tex]Area = 2 \pi\ ft^2[/tex]

The function f(x) = 5 * (1/5) ^ x reflected over the yaxis. Which equations represent the reflected function? Select two options please I really need help

Answers

Answer:

The following two equations represent the reflected function:

f(x) = 5(1/5) ⁻ˣ

f(x) = 5(5)ˣ

Step-by-step explanation:

Following are two basic concepts of reflection a point or a function over an axis:

If a point or a function is reflected across x-axis, the x component remains the same while the y component changes its sign.If a point or a function is reflected across y-axis, the y component remain the same while the x component changes its sign.

In this question, the function is given:

f(x) = 5(1/5)ˣ

As the function is reflected over y-axis, it follows the second concept. The x component will becomes negative.

So the equation of reflected function is:

f(x) = 5(1/5) ⁻ˣ

We know that that fraction with a negative power can also be written as a reciprocal of the same fraction with a positive power.

(1/5)⁻ˣ = 5ˣ

So equation of reflected function can also be written as:

f(x) = 5(5)ˣ

Answer:

f(x) = 5(1/5) ⁻ˣ

f(x) = 5(5)ˣ

A certain club has $50$ people, and $4$ members are running for president. Each club member votes for one of the $4$ candidates. How many different possible vote totals are there?

Answers

Answer:

The number of different possible vote totals is 184.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is provided that there are N = 50 people in a club.

The position of President is open. And there are x = 4 members running for he post of President.

So, there are n = N - x = 50 - 4 = 46 people voting for these 4 members.

Each member of the club has x = 4 possible choices.

So, the number of different possible vote totals are:

Number of different possible votes = n × x

                                                           = 46 × 4

                                                           = 184

Thus, the number of different possible vote totals is 184.

Alex drives at an average speed that is 3/4 of the average speed that Roy's train travels. Alex takes 40 minutes to travel 65 km in her car. Roy travels for 1 hour and 15 minutes on his train. How far does Roy travel to 2 dp?

Answers

Answer:

Distance = 162.5 to 2dp.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alex car drives 65km = 40mins we round up to 1hr

= 1/2 x 65 + 65 = 32.5 +65 = 97.5  km p/h

Roy is 1/4 faster (As Alex speed is 3/4 of Roy)

To find 3/4 we divide by 3  then, add the 97.5  km etc..

97.5/3 =  + 32.5km = 130 km/ph

To check we only have to divide by 4

130 / 4  = 32.5

We know 32.5 is 1/4 we can add this on as 15minutes.

130 km = 1hr +

32.5 km = 15 mins

Distance = 162.5 km

Answer:

162.50 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Alex: 40 minutes for 65 km

speed = distance/time = (65 km)/(40 min) * (60 min)/(1 hr) = 97.5 km/h

Alex's speed = 3/4 of Roy's speed

Roy's speed = (Alex's speed)/(3/4) = (97.5 km/h)/(0.75) = 130 km/h

speed = distance/time

distance = speed * time

time = 1 hour + 15 minutes = 1 hour + 15/60 hour = 1.25 hour

distance = 130 km/h * 1.25 hour = 162.50 km

Another tomato plant (Plant 2) is homozygous recessive for the same three traits: mottled leaves (mm), dwarf height (dd), and peach skin (pp)Leaves Height Fruit Plant 1 solid normal Smooth (PP) (MM) (DD) Plant 2 mottled (mm) dwarf peach (Pp) (dd) In a cross between these two plants (ADOPPx mmddpp), all offspring in the F, generasion are wild type and heterozygous for all three traits (AmDdPp) Now suppose you perform a testcross on one of the F, plants (mOoPpx mmodpp). The F, generation can include piants with these eight possible phanotypes a) solid normal, smooth b) solid norma peach c) solid dwarf smoom d) solid dvarf, peach a) motted nomal, amooth b) motted, normal pesch c) mottied, dwad smooth d) moted dwaf peach Assuming that the three genes undergo independent assortment, predict the phenotypio ratio of the offspring in the F, generation.

When I began working at this marketing job, I used to drive past the same homeless man every day. He stood at the corner of Twelfth Street and Industrial Boulevard, just before the left turn into the private road to my office complex, and held up a brown cardboard sign that read, Anything Helps. I didnt know how to respond to him. Most people didnt respond at all but drove right past him. Even if the red light stopped them at the very corner, directly alongside him, they didnt turn their gaze in his direction, much less reach into their pockets for a dollar bill. And yet, he made a point of smiling and nodding at every driver in the line of cars and sometimes wishing them good day. One spring morning, many weeks after hed first taken over the corner, a day when I was first in the line of stopped cars, I happened to glance to my left and saw that he was giving me a smile and a nod. Have a good one, he said. Flustered, I managed to falter out the words, You too. The light changed, and I drove off. Immediately, I felt guilty for not giving him some money, for hed been kind toward me, had treated me as a fellow human being, despite the fact that Id completely spurned him. So the next time I was stopped at that light, I rolled down my window and extended my hand with a dollar in it. From that point on, I gave him a dollar every time I happened to be caught at that red light, and he swiftly came to recognize me. Hed walk over to my car with a big smile of comradeship and anticipation, and in exchange for the dollar, hed entertain me with some observation about human quirks or some bit of news about how hed been surviving over the past twenty-four hours. We knew each other, I felt, even if it was only in a limited way. You shouldnt do that, my friend Janna told me severely a couple of months later. People who gave money to panhandlers were supporting them in destructive lifestyles rather than encouraging them to become productive, Janna said, and I believed her because she was a social worker at a charity and wanted to benefit the homeless in ways that were genuinely constructive, not just ways for some middle-class driver to fool himself into feeling virtuous. So I changed my morning commuting route and began entering the office complex from the other side. But from the beginning, I felt bad about avoiding him; I felt I had bowed to peer pressure, had shown the opposite of courage, and was depriving myself of an opportunity to make a small sacrifice that would make someone happy. It hadnt even been a sacrifice, I realized, because giving the man that insignificant (for me) sum had pleased me as well as him. The next day, I drove to work on my original route, which was quicker anyway, and looked forward to stopping next to him and exchanging a friendly pleasantry or two. But he wasnt there. He wasnt there the next day, either, and now that autumn and winter have come and gone, I can surmise fairly confidently that hes never coming back. Maybe hes migrated to some place with nicer weather. Or maybe something has happened to him that people like me wouldnt want to think about. I dont know what Ill do when a different homeless person discovers that this corner is unoccupied. Which theme can be most reasonably inferred from this story? Good intentions do not necessarily lead to wisdom. Generosity is always the best policy. People are not always what they first appear to be. Knowledge is power, and money is power, too.
