A system of equations is shown: 2x = â’y 6 â’4x 3y = 8 What is the solution to this system of equations? (â’1, â’4) (1, 4) (4, 1) (â’4, â’1).

Answers

Answer 1

The correct option is B. (1,4).

Given equations,

[tex]2x=-y+6....(1)\\-4x+3y=8....(2)[/tex]

We have to find the solution of the given system of equations.

Equation 2 can be written as,

[tex]-2\times(2x)+3y=8\\[/tex]

Now by substitution method, putting the value of [tex]2x[/tex] from Equation (1) in above equation, we get

[tex]-2\times(-y+6)+3y=8\\2y-12+3y=8\\5y-12=8\\5y=20\\y=4[/tex]

Now putting the value of y in equation 1 we get,

[tex]2x=-4+6\\2x=2\\x=1[/tex]

Hence the solution of the given system of equation will be (1,4).

A pair of shoes sell for $75 from the manufacturing company. If the store sells the shoes for $150 dollars what is the mark-up (percent increase) of the price of the shoe from the manufacturing company to the store?
Help

Answers

The mark-up (percent increase) of the price of the shoe from the manufacturing company to the store is 100%.

Given the following data:

Cost price = $75 Selling price = $150

To determine the mark-up (percent increase) of the price of the shoe from the manufacturing company to the store:

First of all, we would determine the increase in price of this shoe:

[tex]Increase = selling\;price -cost\;price\\\\Increase = 150-75[/tex]

Increase = $75

For mark-up (percent increase):

[tex]Mark\;up = \frac{Increase}{Cost\;price} \times 100\\\\Mark\;up = \frac{75}{75} \times 100[/tex]

Mark-up = 100%

Transgenic Organism

My reasoning:

A transgenic organism is an organism which has been modified with genetic material from another species. The biggest use of transgenic organisms is for agriculture growth, the development of genetically modified crops.

They also research with transgenic mice. Mice can be modified with human DNA for the purpose of testing medical treatments and seeing how they might behave in a human.

Eq 1 X+Y=16
Eq 2 6x+9y=120

Solve by substitution
Solve step by step

Answers

Answer:

X = 8, Y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1) Solve for Y w/ bottom equation to yield - y = -2/3x + 40/3.

Step 2) substitute equation into x + y = 16 to get 1/3x + 40/3 = 16 multiply by 3 to clear the fractions and get x + 40 = 48 - subtract 40 by both sides to get x = 8.

Step 3) Plug x = 8 into the bottom equation to get 48 + 9y = 120, subtract 48 by both sides to get 9y = 72 and then divide by 9. The product is y = 8.

Suppose two bicyclists start at the same location.
The first bicyclist rides due north and the other rides
due west. Find the speed that each bicyclist rode in
miles per hour if they are 8V2 miles apart after riding
for 2 hours at the same speed

Answers

Answer:

  4 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between the cyclists is the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle. The hypotenuse is √2 times the length of the legs in such a triangle, so each cyclist must have ridden 8 miles in 2 hours.

Their speed is (8 mi)/(2 h) = 4 mi/h.

_____

Additional comment

Consider an isosceles right triangle with leg lengths 1. Then the Pythagorean theorem tells us the length of the hypotenuse is ...

  c² = a² +b² . . . square of hypotenuse is sum of squares of legs

  c² = 1² +1² . . . . both legs are 1 in our example triangle

  c² = 2

  c = √2

That is, the hypotenuse is √2 times the leg length.

Felipe jogs for 3 miles and then walks another 3 miles. He jogs 1 and 1/2 miles per hour faster than he walks, and the entire distance of 6 miles takes 3 hours. Find the rate at which he walks and the rate at which he jogs.

Answers

Answer:

walking: 1.5 mphjogging: 3 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent Felipe's walking speed in miles per hour. Then his total travel time is ...

  time = distance/speed

  3 = 3/w +3/(w+1.5) . . . . . total time is the sum of walking and jogging times

  1 = 1/w +1/(w +1.5) . . . . . divide by 3

  w(w +1.5) = (w+1.5) +w . . . . multiply by w(w+1.5)

  w^2 -0.5w -1.5 = 0 . . . . . . subtract 2w+1.5

  (w -1.5)(w +1) = 0 . . . . . . . factor

The values of w that make this equation true are w = 1.5 and w = -1. Only the value 1.5 makes any sense in this scenario. Felipe's jogging speed is then 1.5+1.5 = 3 mph.

Felipe walks at 1.5 mph and jogs at 3 mph.

Solving 2x + -5y = -8

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '5y' to each side of the equation. 2x + -5y + 5y = -8 + 5y

Combine like terms: -5y + 5y = 0 2x + 0 = -8 + 5y 2x = -8 + 5y

Divide each side by '2'. x = -4 + 2.5y Simplifying x = -4 + 2.5y

Line l is a perpendicular bisector of line segment R Q. It intersects line segment R Q at point T. Line l contains point S. The length of segment R S is 2 x + 8. The length of segment S Q is 8 x minus 4.
What is the length of segment SR?

Answers

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Since RS = QS, we know 2x + 8 = 8x - 4

Subtract 2x from each side

8 = 6x - 4

Add 4 to each side

12 = 6x

Divide each side by 6

2 = x

SR is 2x + 8, so it is 2(2) + 8, so RS = 12

The length of the segment SR is 12.

What is a triangle?

Triangle is a shape made of three sides in a two-dimensional plane. the sum of the three angles is 180 degrees.

Since RS = QS, we know 2x + 8 = 8x - 4

Subtract 2x from each side

8 = 6x - 4

Add 4 to each side

12 = 6x

Divide each side by 6

2 = x

SR is 2x + 8, so it is 2(2) + 8, SR = 12

Hence, the segment SR is 12.

Find the solution to the following system using substitution or elimination:
y = -x + 10
y= 7x+ 2
O A. (1, - )
O B. (1,9)
O C. (,1)
O D. (9,65)

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

y = - x + 10 → (1)

y = 7x + 2 → (2)

Substitute y = 7x + 2 into (1)

7x + 2 = - x + 10 ( add x to both sides )

8x + 2 = 10 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

8x = 8 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 1

Substitute x = 1 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting into (2)

y = 7(1) + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9

solution is (1, 9 ) → B

A drug company is considering marketing a new local anesthetic. The effective time of the anesthetic the drug company is currently producing has a normal distribution with a mean of 7.4 minutes with a standard deviation of 1.2 minutes. The chemistry of the new anesthetic is such that the effective time should be normally distributed with the same standard deviation, but the mean effective time may be lower. If it is lower, the drug company will market the new anesthetic; otherwise, they will continue to produce the older one. A sample size of 36 results in a sample mean of 7.1. A hypothesis test will be done to help make the decision

Required:
a. For a test with a level of significance of 0.10, compute the critical value; set up the appropriate hypotheses and the calculate the p-value of the test
b. Will the null hypothesis will be rejected with a level of significance of 0.10? Explain why or why not?

Answers

Using the z-distribution, we have that:

a)

The hypothesis test is:

[tex]H_0: \mu = 7.4[/tex][tex]H_1: \mu < 7.4[/tex]

The p-value is of 0.0668.

The critical value is [tex]z^{\ast} = -1.28[/tex]

b) Since the test statistic is less than the critical value for the left-tailed test, there is enough evidence to conclude that the null hypothesis will be rejected.

Item a:

At the null hypothesis, it is tested if the mean is of 7.4 minutes, that is:

[tex]H_0: \mu = 7.4[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if the mean is lower than 7.4 minutes, that is:

[tex]H_1: \mu < 7.4[/tex]

We have the standard deviation for the population, hence, the z-distribution is used.

The test statistic is given by:

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

The parameters are:

[tex]\overline{x}[/tex] is the sample mean. [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis. [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the sample. n is the sample size.

For this problem, the values of the parameters are: [tex]\overline{x} = 7.1, \mu = 7.4, \sigma = 1.2, n = 36[/tex].

Hence, the value of the test statistic is:

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

[tex]z = \frac{7.1 - 7.4}{\frac{1.2}{\sqrt{36}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = -1.5[/tex]

Using a z-distribution calculator, the p-value is of 0.0668.

Also using a calculator, considering a left-tailed test, as we are testing if the mean is less than a value, the critical value with a significance level of 0.1 is of [tex]z^{\ast} = -1.28[/tex].

Item b:

Since the test statistic is less than the critical value for the left-tailed test, there is enough evidence to conclude that the null hypothesis will be rejected.
