2x − y + z =2

2x + 4y − 3z =14

What x,y, and z?

Answers

Answer 1
Multiplying the first equation by -1 and adding it to the third, we get 2y-8z=15 and by multiplying the first equation by -1 and adding it to the second equation, we get -3y-4z=3

Using the two equations, we have 
2y-8z=15
-3y-4z=3

Multiplying the second equation by -2 and adding it to the third, we have 8y=9 and y = 9/8 by dividing both sides by 8. Plugging it back into
-3y-4z=3, we have -27/8-4z=3 and by adding 27/8 to both sides, we have -4z=51/8 and by dividing both sides by -4 we get z=-51/32.

Plugging it into 2x − y + z =2, we get 2x-9/8+5(-51/32)=2, we get x=151/64 by adding -(5(-51/32)) to both sides as well as adding 9/8 to both.

Answer: k = 4

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

Explanation:

The piecewise function is essentially two different functions joined together. In this case,

h(x) = kx if 0 <= x < 1
OR
h(x) = x+3 if 1 <= x <= 5

The value of x determines which piece we use.

The two pieces will join together to be continuous only if the y value is the same for x = 1.

Plug x = 1 into the first piece and we get
h(x) = k*x
h(1) = k*1
h(1) = k

Do the same for the second piece
h(x) = x+3
h(1) = 1+3
h(1) = 4

Set the two results (k and 4) equal to each other and we get k = 4.

If sinθ = 3/4 and is in the first quadrant, then cosθ = _____.

Answers

The trick here is to recognize that "sin omega = 3/4" provides us with the length of the opposite side of a first-quadrant triangle and the length of the hypotenuse; they are 3 and 4 respectively.

Find the length of the adjacent side (x) using the Pythagorean Theorem:  3^2 + x^2 = 4^2, or x^2 = 16 - 9 = 7.  Then the length of the adj. side, x, is sqrt(7).

The cosine of omega is  adj / hyp, or sqrt(7) / 4.

Answer: The answer is [tex]\cos \theta=\dfrac{\sqrt{7}}{4}.[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that

[tex]\sin \theta=\dfrac{3}{4}[/tex] and [tex]\theta[/tex] is in Quadrant I.

We are to find the value of [tex]\cos \theta.[/tex]

We have the following trigonometric identity :

[tex]\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta=1\\\\\Rightarrow \cos^2\theta=1-\sin^2\theta\\\\\Rightarrow \cos \theta=\pm\sqrt{1-\sin^2\theta}\\\\\Rightarrow \cos \theta=\pm\sqrt{1-\left(\dfrac{3}{4}\right)^2}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \cos \theta=\pm\sqrt{1-\dfrac{9}{16}}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \cos \theta=\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{7}{16}}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \cos \theta=\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{7}}{4}.[/tex]

Since [tex]\theta[/tex] lies in the first quadrant, so cosine of [tex]\theta[/tex] will be positive.

Thus,

[tex]\cos \theta=\dfrac{\sqrt{7}}{4}.[/tex]

the top of an auto piston is a circle with a diameter measuring 8.4 centimeters . what is the area of the top piston ?

Answers

Radius = Diameter /2 

So, Radius = 8.4/2 or 4.2 

4.2^2 = 17.64. 

17.64 x pi = 55.39 sq cm. 

cm because we are being consistent with the units of measurement already in use.

area of a circle = PI x r^2

r = 8.4/2 = 4.2

using 3.14 for PI

 area = 3.14 x 4.2^2 = 55.3896 square cm

Draw one card at random from a standard deck of cards. the sample space s is the collection of the 52 cards. assume that the probability set function assigns 1/52 to each of the 52 outcomes. let a = {x: x is a jack, queen, or king}, b = {x: x is a 9, 10, or jack and x is red}, c = {x: x is a club}, d = {x: x is a diamond, a heart, or a spade}.

Answers

In probability problems, look out for the word OR and AND.

OR means adding the probability
AND means multiplying the probability

P(a) = P(jack) + P(queen) + P(king) = (4/52) + (4/52) + (4/52) = 12/52 = 3/13

P(b) = [P(9) + P(10) + P(jack)] × P(red) = [(4/52) + (4/52) + (4/52)] × (26/52)
P(b) = (12/52) × (26/52) = 3/26

P(c) = 13/52 = 1/4

P(d) = P(a diamond) + P(a heart) + P(a spade) =  (13/52) + (13/52) + (13/52) = 3/4

(15-6)-3 = 15 - (6 -3) dose this make sense or nonsense?

Answers

No it does not make sense. You misused the parenthesis and the "-" multiplied the variables within the parenthesis and as a result one of them subtracted (15 - 6) by 3 and the other added, which is why the final values are 6 apart. This is not how you use properties in math.
(15 - 6) - 3 = 9 - 3 = 6
15 - (6 - 3) = 15 - 3 = 12
(15 - 6) - 3 = 15 - (6 - 3)

First, let's simplify everything on the left side.

9 - 3 = 15 - (6 - 3)

Now, let's simplify everything on the right side.

9 - 3 = 15 - 3

Then, simplify both sides.

6 = 12

Is 6 = 12?

NO! 6 ≠ 12

Therefore, this equation is not true :)

Sage correctly found the following quotient. 1 1/2 divided by 1/3= 4 1/2 . (a) Create a model to show the quotient. (b) Explain what the half in the quotient refers to in your model

Answers

(a) for this you need to draw an example. Like a pizza or pie being cut.

(b) show that half of the quotient refers to Sage dividing the pizza/pie

When dividing 1 1/2 by 1/3, the quotient 4 1/2 indicates that each person receives half of a whole unit, which in our model is half of a pizza.

(a) To model the quotient 1 1/2 ÷ 1/3, imagine you have 1 1/2 units of something, like 1 1/2 pizzas. Now, if you divide each pizza into thirds, you'd have 3 halves of pizza. So, 1 1/2 pizzas divided by 1/3 pizza per person equals 4 people, each getting 1/2 of a pizza.

(b) The half in the quotient represents the portion of each whole unit (in this case, pizza) that each person receives. In our model, it signifies that each of the 4 people receives half of a pizza.

A vacant lot is being converted into a community garden. The garden and the walkway around its perimeter have an area of 238 ft2. Find the width of the walkway if the garden is 12 ft wide by 15 ft long. ft

Answers

Let us say that:

x = width of walkway

 

So the area is:

(12 + 2x) (15 + 2x) = 238

2x because we must add x on both sides of length and width

Expanding:

180 + 24x + 30x + 4x^2 = 238

4x^2 + 54x = 58

By completing the square:

x^2 + 13.5x + 45.5625 = 60.0625

(x + 6.75)^2 = 60.0625

x + 6.75 = ±7.75

x = -14.5, 1

 

Since dimension cannot be negative, therefore:

width = 1 ft

Final answer:

The width of the walkway around the garden is 3.87 ft.

Explanation:

The width of the walkway around the garden can be found by subtracting the area of the garden from the total area of the garden with the walkway.

Calculate the total area of the garden with the walkway by multiplying the length and width: 12 ft * 15 ft = 180 ft2.Subtract the area of the garden from the total area (238 ft2 - 180 ft2) to find the area of the walkway: 58 ft2.Since the walkway surrounds the garden, divide the walkway's area by the length or width of the garden to find the width of the walkway: 58 ft / 15 ft = 3.87 ft.

A basketball player makes 175 out of 220 free throws. we would estimate the probability that the player makes the next free throw to be

Answers

80%, I divided 175 by 220 and got .795 which rounds up to 80%

The probability that the player will make next free throw is obtained as 0.795.

What is probability?

Probability is the branch of Mathematics that deals with the measurement of the chance of occurrence of a random event.

The probability of any event always lie in the close interval of 0 and 1 [0,1].

The total number of free throws is 220.

And, the number of throws by the player is 175.

Now, the probability can be found as below,

P(free throws) = Throws by the Player ÷ Total throws

⇒ 175 ÷ 220 = 0.795

Hence, the probability for the next free throw can be estimated as 0.795.

the lengths of the sides of a triangle are consecutive odd integers.if the perimeter of the triangle is 27 what is are the lengths of all three sides?

Answers

The lengths of each side are 9
bearing in mind that, if you multiply any integer whatsoever, by 2, you get an even number, 3*2 or 17*2 or 4*2 and so on.

to get an ODD integer, simply hop once forward of backwards from any even integer, 2-1, or 2+1 or  8+1 or 8-1.

to get a consecutive ODD integer, simply hop twice from any odd integer, say 3+2, or 7+2 and so on.

now, let's pick a reference integer, say hmmm "a".

we know that a * 2, or 2a is an even integer, therefore (2a + 1) is an ODD integer, and (2a +1 ) + 2 is a consecutive odd integer.  So, there you have it, our first two odd integers, and the next one, is, you guessed it, (2a + 1) + 2 + 2

so, our three odd consecutive integers are (2a+1), (2a+3) and (2a+5)

so, the triangle has a perimeter of 27, so, let's add them up then

[tex]\bf (2a+1)+(2a+3)+(2a+5)=27\implies 6a+9=27 \\\\\\ 6a=18\implies a=\cfrac{18}{6}\implies a=3[/tex]

How to do lond division 0.6÷0.0024

Answers

so...notice first off, the 0.6 has 1 decimal, the 0.0024 has 4 decimals

what happens is, the dot goes poof BUT, you need to add as many zeros to each number as the other's decimals.

the 0.6 has one decimal, so 0.0024 gets an added zero and loses the dot, to become 000240.

the 0.0024 has four decimals, thus the 0.6 gets added 4 zeros then, and loses the dot, to become 060000

and then you divided that, those are the dividend and divisor.
Final answer:

To divide 0.6 by 0.0024 using long division, adjust the numbers to remove the decimals, becoming 6000 divided by 24. The result of this division is 250.

Explanation:

To solve the problem of long division, specifically for 0.6 ÷ 0.0024, you need to adjust both numbers to remove the decimal points before division. Start by shifting the decimal point in each number. In this case, shift the decimal for both numbers 4 places to the right, resulting in 6000 divided by 24.

So, it becomes a simpler division problem: 6000 ÷ 24. When you divide 6000 by 24, the result is 250.

Therefore, the result of 0.6 ÷ 0.0024 is 250.

The probability that a given computer chip will fail is 0.02. find the probability that of 5 delivered chips, exactly 2 will fail.

Answers

Since the chip either passes or fails, this problem is one in binomial probability, with p(fail)=0.02 and n=5.
                 
If your calculator features probability functions such as binompdf(n, p), use it.
Mine is a TI-83 Plus.

The probability that exactly two chips will fail is

binompdf(5,0.02,2) = 0.0038.  This is quite a small probability.



Probability of an event is the measure of its chance of occurrence. The probability that of 5 delivered chips, exactly 2 will fail is 0.003764768 or approx 0.0004

How to find that a given condition can be modeled by binomial distribution?

Binomial distributions consists of n independent Bernoulli trials.

Bernoulli trials are those trials which end up randomly either on success (with probability p) or on failures( with probability 1- p = q (say))

Suppose we have random variable X pertaining binomial distribution with parameters n and p, then it is written as

[tex]X \sim B(n,p)[/tex]

The probability that out of n trials, there'd be x successes is given by

[tex]P(X =x) = \: ^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

For the given case, as failing or working of chips usually doesn't depend on other chips' working condition, so they're independent(assuming). There are two cases for each chip's working(random experiment) that it is either working or failed.

If we take Success of the considered binomial experiment(working status of chip) = Chip working fine

Then, as per given data, we have

P(chip working fine ) = 1  - P(chip not working) = 1 - 0.02 = 0.98 = Probability of success in Bernoulli experiment (chip's working status).

There are n = 5 chips, p = probability of success = 0.98, q = 1-p = 0.02

If we take X = number of chips of of 5 chips working, then:

[tex]X \sim B(n = 5, p = 0.98)[/tex]

Then, the needed probability is P(Exactly two chips fail) = P(Exactly 5-2 = 3 chips work) = P(X  = 3)

And thus,  the needed probability is calculated as:

[tex]P(X = 3) = \: ^5C_3(0.98)^3(0.02)^2 = \dfrac{5.4.3}{3.2.1} \times 0.941192 \times 0.0004 = 0.003764768[/tex]

(using the probability mass function of binomial distribution).

Thus, the probability that of 5 delivered chips, exactly 2 will fail is 0.003764768 or approx 0.0004
