When is it easier to use the addition method rather than the substitution method to solve a system of equations?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: When the addition of two or more equations leads to the elimination of one of the variables.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we have a system of equations, the addition method seems to be useful only when adding the equations will lead to the elimination of one of the variables:

An example of this can be, for the variables x and y:

3*x + x*y - 2*y = 3

x^2 + x*y - 2y = 42

now we can "add" (actually subtract) the equations and get (eq2 minus eq1)

(x^2 + x*y - 2y) - (3*x + x*y - 2*y ) = 42 - 3

x^2 - 3*x = 39

x^2 - 3*x - 39 = 0

And now we can solve it for x, and then find the value of y.

Answers

Answer:

y=-1/7x + 12/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by finding the slope

m=(1-0)/(-5-2)

m=-1/7

next plug the slope and the point (-5,1) into point slope formula

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y1=1

x1= -5

m=-1/7

y- 1 = -1/7(x - -5)

y-1=-1/7(x+5)

Distribute -1/7 first

y- 1=-1/7x + 5/7

Add 1 on both sides, but since its a fraction add 7/7

y=-1/7x + (5/7+7/7)

y=-1/7x+12/7

Suppose that you begin with 10 grams of magic crystals, and your crystals grow at a
continuous rate of 25% every day (that's why they're magic). How many grams of
crystals will you have after one week (7 days)?!
ANSWER IS BRAINLEIST

Answers

Answer:

After 7 days the crystals will be 57.57 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this the continuous exponential growth formula will be used.

y = A e ^rt

Where A = original amount = 10 grams

y is the growth after 7 days

e is Euler's number= 2.719

t is the time in hours , weeks, years etc.= 7 days

r  is the rate in decimals = 25% = 0.25

Putting the values in the formula:

y = A e ^rt

y = 10 e ^0.25 (7)

Calculating with the calculator

y = 10* 2.719^1.75

y= 57.57 grams.

After 7 days the crystals will be 57.57 grams.

 

Answer:

57.55g

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula f(t) = aert, where a = 10, r = 0.25, and t = 7. This gives f(7) = 10e(0.25)(7) = 10e1.75 ≈ 10(5.755) ≈ 57.55.

probability that the diagnosis is correct? Explain each step.​

Answers

Answer:

The probability that the diagnosis is correct is 0.95249.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the American Diabetes Association estimates that 8.3% of people in the United States have diabetes.

Suppose that a medical lab has developed a simple diagnostic test for diabetes that is 98% accurate for people who have the disease and 95% accurate for people who do not have it.

Let the probability that people in the United States have diabetes = P(D) = 0.083.

So, the probability that people in the United States do not have diabetes = P(D') = 1 - P(D) = 1 - 0.083 = 0.917

Also, let A = event that the diagnostic test is accurate

So, the probability that a simple diagnostic test for diabetes is accurate for people who have the disease = P(A/D) = 0.98

And the probability that a simple diagnostic test for diabetes is accurate for people who do not have the disease = P(A/D') = 0.95

Now, the probability that the diagnosis is correct is given by;

    Probability = P(D) [tex]\times[/tex] P(A/D) + P(D') [tex]\times[/tex] P(A/D')

                      = (0.083 [tex]\times[/tex] 0.98) + (0.917 [tex]\times[/tex]0.95)

                      = 0.08134 + 0.87115

                      = 0.95249

Hence, the probability that the diagnosis is correct is 0.95249.

A roll of steel is manufactured on a processing line. The anticipated number of defects in a 10-foot segment of this roll is two. What is the probability of no defects in 10 feet of steel

Answers

Answer:

the probability of no defects in 10 feet of steel = 0.1353

Step-by-step explanation:

GIven that:

A roll of steel is manufactured on a processing line. The anticipated number of defects in a 10-foot segment of this roll is two.

Let consider β to be the average value for defecting

So;

β = 2

Assuming Y to be the random variable which signifies the anticipated number of defects in a 10-foot segment of this roll.

Thus, y follows a poisson distribution as number of defect is infinite with the average value of β = 2

i.e

[tex]Y \sim P( \beta = 2)[/tex]

the probability mass function can be represented as follows:

[tex]\mathtt{P(y) = \dfrac{e^{- \beta} \ \beta^ \ y}{y!}}[/tex]

where;

y =  0,1,2,3 ...

Hence,  the probability of no defects in 10 feet of steel

y = 0

[tex]\mathtt{P(y =0) = \dfrac{e^{- 2} \ 2^ \ 0}{0!}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{P(y =0) = \dfrac{0.1353 \times 1}{1}}[/tex]

The area of a rectangle is 44 m^2, and the length of the rectangle is 3 m less than twice the width. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.
length :
width :

Answers

Answer:

Length:8

Width:5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We're given area = 44m^2, and the formula for the area of a rectangle is the length multiplied by the width. So,

A = L * w = 44

We're given that the length is 3m shorter than 2 times the width, which is 2w - 3. "2w" is the same as "2 times the width", and the 3 is subtracted because it says 3m shorter than 2 times the width. So L = 2w - 3, and we can substitute that into our equation above.

(2w - 3)(w) = 44

2w^2 - 3w - 44 = 0

Use the quadratic formula here.

x = {3 ± √(-3)^2 - 4(-44)(2)}/2(2)

= {3 ± √9 + 352}/4

= (3 ± 19)/4

You'll get two answers, but remember, we're measuring the length of the sides of shapes, so it has to be positive. It's impossible to have negative lengths, so we're going to stick with the (3 + 19)/4 answer, which is 22/4, which is 5.5. However, we are not finished yet. This is just the width. Now we need to plug it into the equation for length, which was 2w - 3

2(5.5) - 3 = 11 - 3 = 8

The length is 8m and the width is 5.5m.

A mutual fund owns 20,000 shares in Company Y. Company Y has 2 million shares issued.

= $900,000

Step 2

Calculate how much dividends each share will get;

$900,000 to 2 million shares of Company Y.

= 900,000/2,000,000

= $0.45

Step 3

Calculate how much the Mutual fund will get for its 20,000 shares

= 20,000 * 0.45

Answers

Answer:

1023.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of a geometric sequence is

sum = a( 1 - r^n) / (1-r)

where a is the first term  r is the common ratio and  r^n is the nth term

We need to find the common ratio

r = 256/512 = 1/2

sum = 512 ( 1 - 1/2^12) / ( 1-1/2)

       =512( 1-.000244141) / (.5)

       =512(.999755859) /.5

     =1023.75

Answer:

1023.75

Step-by-step explanation:

sum = a( 1 - r^n) / (1-r)

a1 = 512

n = 12

r = 256 / 512 = 1/2

                              512 (1 - 1/2¹²)

therefore.. sum =  ------------------ = 1023.75

sample of 1800 computer chips revealed that 25% of the chips do not fail in the first 1000 hours of their use. The company's promotional literature claimed that 28% do not fail in the first 1000 hours of their use. Is there sufficient evidence at the 0.02 level to dispute the company's claim

Answers

Answer:

The p-value of the test is 0.0023 < 0.02, which means that there is sufficient evidence at the 0.02 level to dispute the company's claim.

Step-by-step explanation:

The company's promotional literature claimed that 28% do not fail in the first 1000 hours of their use.

At the null hypothesis, we test that at least 28% do not fail, that is:

[tex]H_0: p \geq 0.28[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the proportion is of less than 28%, that is:

[tex]H_1: p < 0.28[/tex]

The test statistic is:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

0.28 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 0.28, \sigma = \sqrt{0.28*0.72}[/tex]

Sample of 1800 computer chips revealed that 25% of the chips do not fail in the first 1000 hours of their use.

This means that [tex]n = 1800, X = 0.25[/tex]

Value of the test statistic:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{0.25 - 0.28}{\frac{\sqrt{0.28*0.72}}{\sqrt{1800}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = -2.83[/tex]

P-value of the test and decision:

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample proportion below 0.25, which is the p-value of Z = -2.83.

Looking at the z-table, z = -2.83 has a p-value of 0.0023.

The p-value of the test is 0.0023 < 0.02, which means that there is sufficient evidence at the 0.02 level to dispute the company's claim.

Given the differential equation [tex](x+2y)y'=2x-y[/tex], this can also be written as;

[tex](x+2y)\frac{dy}{dx} =2x-y[/tex]

On simplification

[tex](x+2y)\frac{dy}{dx} =2x-y\\\\\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2x-y}{x+2y} \\\\let \ y = vx\\\frac{dy}{dx} = v+x\frac{dv}{dx}[/tex]

The differential equation becomes;

[tex]v+x\frac{dv}{dx} =\frac{ 2x-vx}{x+2vx}\\\\v+x\frac{dv}{dx} = \frac{ x(2-v)}{x(1+2v)}\\\\v+x\frac{dv}{dx} = \frac{2-v}{1+2v}\\\\x\frac{dv}{dx} = \frac{2-v}{1+2v} - v\\\\x\frac{dv}{dx} = \frac{(2-v)-v(1+2v)}{1+2v}\\\\x\frac{dv}{dx} = \frac{2-v-v-2v^2}{1+2v}\\\\x\frac{dv}{dx} = \frac{2-2v-2v^2}{1+2v}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dx}{x} = \frac{1+2v}{2-2v-2v^2}dv\\\\integrating\ both \ sides\\\\[/tex]
