Answer:
k ≠ 3Step-by-step explanation:
Given the system of equation;
kx - y = 2 ------------------- 1
6x - 2y = 3 -------------------- 2
Rewriting the equations in the format ax+by+c = 0
Equation 1 becomes kx - y - 2 = 0
Equation 2 becomes 6x - 2y - 3 = 0
where a₁ = k, b₁ = -1 and c₁ = -2 and a₂ = 6, b₂ = -2 and c₂ = -3
For the system of equation to have a unique solution the following must be true;
a₁/a₂ ≠ b₁/b₁
Substituting the coefficients into the condition, we will have;
k/6 ≠ -1/-2
k/6 ≠ 1/2
Cross multiplying we will have;
2k ≠ 6
k ≠ 6/2
k ≠ 3
This means that k can be any other real values except 3 for the system of equation to have a unique solution.

A person standing close to the edge on top of a 96-foot building throws a ball vertically upward. The quadratic function h = − 16 t 2 + 116 t + 96 models the ball's height above the ground, h , in feet, t seconds after it was thrown. a) What is the maximum height of the ball? b) How many seconds does it take until the ball hits the ground?
Answer: a) 306.25 feet b) 8 s
Step-by-step explanation:
Actually we have to find the function' s h(t) maximum meaning.
To do that we have to find the corresponding t - let call it t max
As known t max= (t1+t2)/2 where t1 and t2 are the roots of quadratic equation' s
Lets find the roots t1 and t2
-16*t^2+116*t+96=0 divide by 4 each side of the equation
-4*t^2 +29*t+24=0
D=29^2+24*4*4=1225 =35^2
t1=(-29-35)/(-8)=8
t2=(-29+35)/(-8)=-6/8=-3/4=-0.75
t max= (8+(-0.75))= 7,25/2=3.625 s
h max= -16*t max ^2+116*t +96= -16*3.625^2+116*3.625+96=306.25 feet
b) t2=8s is the time when the ball hits the ground.
Answer:
a) 306.25 ft
b) 8 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The time at the maximum height is found from the equation for the axis of symmetry:
ax^2 +bx +c has axis of symmetry at x=-b/(2a)
For the given equation, the t-value at the vertex is ...
t = -116/(2(-16)) = 3.625 . . . seconds
At that time, the height is ...
h = (-16(3.625) +116)(3.625) +96 = (58)(3.625) +96 = 306.25
The maximum height is 306.25 feet.
__
b) The ball will hit the ground when h=0. From the vertex values in the first part, we know we can rewrite the equation in vertex form as ...
h(t) = -16(t -3.625)^2 +306.25
This will be 0 when ...
0 = -16(t -3.625)^2 +306.25
(t -3.625)^2 = 306.25/16
t = 3.625 +√19.140625 = 3.625 +4.375 = 8
The ball will hit the ground after 8 seconds.
When you enter the Texas Turnpike, they give you a ticket showing the time and place of your entry. When you exit, you turn in this ticket and they use it to figure your toll. Because they know the distance between toll stations, they can also use it to check your average speed against the turnpike limit of 65 mph. On your trip, heavy snow limits your speed to 40 mph for the first 120 mi. At what average speed can you drive for the remaining 300 mi without having your ticket prove that you broke the speed limit?
Answer:
87 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Total distance needed is 120 mi + 300 mi and that is 420 mi.
Driving at 65 mph means that it would take
420 / 65 hours to reach his destination.
6.46 hours .
at the first phase, he drove at 40 mph for 120 mi, this means that it took him
120 / 40 hours to complete the journey.
3 hours.
the total time needed for the whole journey is 6.46 hours, and he already spent 3 hours in the first phase. To keep up with the 6.46 hours required, in the second phase, he has to drive at a speed of
6.46 - 3 hours = 3.46 hours.
300 mi / 3.46 hours => 86.71 mph approximately 87 mph
Therefore, he needs to drive at not more than 87 mph to keep up with the journey while not breaking his speed limit

Find the inverse of the following function.
Answer:
The inverse is 1/64 x^2 = y x ≥ 0
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 8 sqrt(x)
y = 8 sqrt(x)
Exchange x and y
x = 8 sqrt (y)
Solve for y
Divide each side by 8
1/8 x = sqrt(y)
Square each side
(1/8 x)^2 = (sqrt(y))^2
1/64 x^2 = y
The inverse is 1/64 x^2 = y x ≥ 0
since x ≥0 in the original function

Charlie needs a $275,000 mortgage and he'd like to pay it off in 30 years. He is considering two banks. Bank A: 3.5% with monthly payments of $1234.87 Bank B: 4% with monthly payments of $1312.89 Charlie doesn't think a 0.5% difference is that much. What is the difference between these two bank loans with total interest paid over the life of the loan?
Answer:
Difference in interest= $41,250
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the interest paid on each bank loan we use the following formula
Interest = Principal * Rate * Time
For Bank A
Interest = 275,000 * 0.035 * 30
Interest = $288,750
For Bank B
Interest = 275,000 * 0.04 * 30
Interest = $330,000
Therefore
Difference in interest= 330,000 - 288,750
Difference in interest= $41,250
Therefore if the mortgage is taken from Bank B he will pay an extra $41,250 on the loan.
The 0.5% difference in rates has a large impact over the 30 year term loan
PLEASE HELP! You do not have to answer all questions but can someone explain to me on where I am even suppose to begin? I don't even know how to answer a single one of these questions.
Step-by-step explanation:
For problems 1 through 15, evaluate the function at the given x value.
1. f(5) = 2(5) − 1 = 9
2. f(3) = 3² − 3(3) − 1 = -1
3. f(0) = 2(0) + 5 = 5

Step-by-step explanation:
Select the function that represents a parabola with zeros at x = –2 and x = 4, and y-intercept (0,–16). A ƒ(x) = x2 + 2x – 8 B ƒ(x) = 2x2 + 4x – 16 C ƒ(x) = x2 – 2x – 8 D ƒ(x) = 2x2 – 4x – 16
Answer:
D. [tex]f(x) = 2\cdot x^{2}-4\cdot x -16[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Any parabola is modelled by a second-order polynomial, whose standard form is:
[tex]y = a\cdot x^{2}+b\cdot x + c[/tex]
Where:
[tex]x[/tex] - Independent variable, dimensionless.
[tex]y[/tex] - Dependent variable, dimensionless.
[tex]a[/tex], [tex]b[/tex], [tex]c[/tex] - Coefficients, dimensionless.
In addition, a system of three linear equations is constructed by using all known inputs:
(-2, 0)
[tex]4\cdot a -2\cdot b + c = 0[/tex] (Eq. 1)
(4, 0)
[tex]16\cdot a + 4\cdot b +c = 0[/tex] (Eq. 2)
(0,-16)
[tex]c = -16[/tex] (Eq. 3)
Then,
[tex]4\cdot a - 2\cdot b = 16[/tex] (Eq. 4)
[tex]16\cdot a + 4\cdot b = 16[/tex] (Eq. 5)
(Eq. 3 in Eqs. 1 - 2)
[tex]a - 0.5\cdot b = 4[/tex] By Eq. 4 (Eq. 4b)
[tex]a = 4 + 0.5\cdot b[/tex]
Then,
[tex]16\cdot (4+0.5\cdot b) + 4\cdot b = 16[/tex] (Eq. 4b in Eq. 5)
[tex]64 + 12\cdot b = 16[/tex]
[tex]12\cdot b = -48[/tex]
[tex]b = -4[/tex]
The remaining coeffcient is:
[tex]a = 4 + 0.5\cdot b[/tex]
[tex]a = 4 + 0.5\cdot (-4)[/tex]
[tex]a = 2[/tex]
The function that represents a parabola with zeroes at x = -2 and x = 4 and y-intercept (0,16) is [tex]f(x) = 2\cdot x^{2}-4\cdot x -16[/tex]. Thus, the right answer is D.

HELP ASAP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Answer:
Option (B)
Step-by-step explanation:
The given expression is,
[tex]\sqrt{22x^6}\div\sqrt{11x^4}[/tex]
We can rewrite this expression as,
[tex]\frac{\sqrt{22x^6}}{\sqrt{11x^4} }[/tex]
Solving it further,
[tex]\frac{\sqrt{22x^6}}{\sqrt{11x^4} }=\frac{\sqrt{22(x^3)^2} }{\sqrt{11(x^2)^2} }[/tex] [Since [tex]x^3\times x^3=x^6[/tex] and [tex]x^{2}\times x^{2}=x^4[/tex]]
[tex]=\sqrt{\frac{22(x^3)^2}{11(x^2)^2} }[/tex] [Since [tex]\frac{\sqrt{a} }{\sqrt{b} }=\sqrt{\frac{a}{b} }[/tex]]
[tex]=\frac{x^3}{x^2}\sqrt{\frac{22}{11} }[/tex]
[tex]=x\sqrt{2}[/tex]
Therefore, quotient will be x√2.
Option (B) will be the correct option.

Mrs. Simpson’s calculus class has an exam with an average score of 80 and standard deviation of 15. Assume that exam scores are normally distributed. If Mrs. Simpson decides to give an A grade to students who score in the top 20% of the class, what exam score is needed in order to get the A grade? (3pts)
Answer:
93 is the exam score needed in order to get the A grade in Mrs Simpson’s test
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the score that gives an A grade
Mathematically from the z-score formula, we know that;
z-score = x-mean/SD
From the question, x = ? , mean = 80 and SD = 15
Thus;
z-score = x-80/15
But in this question, we have the probability but we do not have the z-score
So we need the z-score that is equivalent to 20%
20% is same as 0.2
Using the standard normal distribution table, a probability of 0.2 corresponds to a z-score of 0.84
Thus, mathematically;
0.84 = x-80/15
x-80 = 15(0.84)
x-80 = 12.6
x = 80 + 12.6
x = 92.6 which is approximately 93
The residents of a city voted on whether to raise property taxes. The ratio of yes votes to no votes was 5 to 6. If there were 4508 no votes, what was the total
number of votes
Answer:
total number of votes was 8265.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ratio of yes to no votes = 5:6
we know by rule of indices that
a/b = a*x/b*x
let the no. of people who voted yes be 5x
the no. of people who voted no be 6x
Thus, total no of votes = 5x+6x= 11x
given that
If there were 4508 no votes
thus,
6x = 4508
x = 4508/6 = 751 1/3 = 751.33
Thus, total no. of votes = 11 x = 11* 751.33 = 8264.63
rounding it to next integral no. as no. of votes cannot be fraction or decimal
the total number of votes was 8265.

An Uber driver provides service in city A and city B only dropping off passengers and immediately picking up a new one at the same spot. He finds the following Markov dependence. For each trip, if the driver is in city A, the probability that he has to drive passengers to city B is 0.25. If he is in city B, the probability that he has to drive passengers to city A is 0.45. Required:a. What is the 1-step transition matrix? b. Suppose he is in city B, what is the probability he will be in city A after two trips? c. After many trips between the two cities, what is the probability he will be in city B?
Answer:
a. 1-step transition matrix is be expressed as:
[tex]P= \left[\begin{array}{cc}0.75&0.25\\0.45&0.55\\\end{array}\right][/tex]
b. The probability that he will be in City A after two trips given that he is in City B = 0.585
c. After many trips, the probability that he will be in city B = 0.3571
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
For each trip, if the driver is in city A, the probability that he has to drive passengers to city B is 0.25
If he is in city B, the probability that he has to drive passengers to city A is 0.45.
The objectives are to calculate the following :
a. What is the 1-step transition matrix?
To determine the 1 -step transition matrix
Let the State ∝ and State β denotes the Uber Driver providing service in City A and City B respectively.
∴ The transition probability from state ∝ to state β is 0.25.
The transition probability from state ∝ to state ∝ is 1- 0.25 = 0.75
The transition probability from state β to state ∝ is 0.45. The transition probability from state β to state β is 1 - 0.45 = 0.55
Hence; 1-step transition matrix is be expressed as:
[tex]P= \left[\begin{array}{cc}0.75&0.25\\0.45&0.55\\\end{array}\right][/tex]
b. Suppose he is in city B, what is the probability he will be in city A after two trips?
Consider [tex]Y_n[/tex] = ∝ or β to represent the Uber driver is in City A or City B respectively.
∴ The probability that he will be in City A after two trips given that he is in City B
=[tex]P(Y_0 = 2, Y_2 = 1 , Y_3 = 1) + P(Y_0 = 2, Y_2 = 2 , Y_3 = 1)[/tex]
= 0.45 × 0.75 + 0.55 × 0.45
= 0.3375 + 0.2475
= 0.585
c. After many trips between the two cities, what is the probability he will be in city B?
Assuming that Ф = [ p q ] to represent the long run proportion of time that Uber driver is in City A or City B respectively.
Then, ФP = Ф , also p+q = 1 , q = 1 - p and p = 1 - q
∴
[tex][ p\ \ \ q ] = \left[\begin{array}{cc}0.75&0.25\\0.45&0.55\\\end{array}\right] [ p\ \ \ q ][/tex]
0.75p + 0.45q = q
-0.25p + 0.45q = 0
since p = 1- q
-0.25(1 - q) + 0.45q = 0
-0.25 + 0.25 q + 0.45q = 0
0.7q = 0.25
q = [tex]\dfrac{0.25} {0.7 }[/tex]
q = 0.3571
After many trips, the probability that he will be in city B = 0.3571
Test the age of the participants (AGE1) against the null hypothesis H0 = 34. Use a one-sample t-test. How would you report the results?
Answer:
t = -1.862, df = 399, p > 0.05
Step-by-step explanation:
The null hypothesis is the statement which is test for its validity. The decision to accept or reject the null hypothesis is based on the test statistics value. In the given question the null hypothesis is H0 = 34. There is one sample t-test for the testing of null hypothesis. The null hypothesis will be same for each type of one sample t-test. The null hypothesis assumes that the difference between the true mean and comparison value is zero.
Find the slope of the line through the points (-4, 6) and (8,4).
I need help on this
Start with the slope formula.
m = y2-y1/x2 - x1
We take the second y minus the first y
over the second x minus the first x.
So we have 4 - 6/8 - -4.
This simplifies to -2/12 which reduces to -1/6.

The effectiveness of a blood-pressure drug is being investigated. An experimenter finds that, on average, the reduction in systolic blood pressure is 53.9 for a sample of size 24 and standard deviation 5.6. Estimate how much the drug will lower a typical patient's systolic blood pressure (using a 90% confidence level). Assume the data is from a normally distributed population. Enter your answer as a tri-linear inequality accurate to three decimal places.
_______ < μ < _________ please teach using calculator method
Answer:
The estimate is
[tex]52.02 < \mu < 55.78[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The sample mean is [tex]\ = x = 53.9[/tex]
The sample size is n = 24
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 5.6[/tex]
Given that the confidence level is 90% the level of significance is mathematically represented as
[tex]\alpha = 100 - 90[/tex]
[tex]\alpha = 10 \%[/tex]
[tex]\alpha = 0.10[/tex]
Next we obtain the critical value of [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table.The value is
[tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =Z_{\frac{0.10 }{2} } = 1.645[/tex]
The reason we are obtaining critical value of [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] instead of [tex]\alpha[/tex] is because [tex]\alpha[/tex]
represents the area under the normal curve where the confidence level interval ( [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex] ) did not cover which include both the left and right tail while
[tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] is just the area of one tail which what we required to calculate the margin of error
NOTE: We can also obtain the value using critical value calculator (math dot armstrong dot edu)
Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as
[tex]E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \frac{\sigma }{ \sqrt{n} }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]E = 1.645 * \frac{5.6 }{ \sqrt{24} }[/tex]
[tex]E = 1.880[/tex]
The estimate of how much the drug will lower a typical patient's systolic blood pressure(using a 90% confidence level) is mathematically represented as
[tex]\= x - E < \mu < \= x + E[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]53.9 - 1.880 < \mu < 53.9 + 1.880[/tex]
[tex]52.02 < \mu < 55.78[/tex]

The fatal accidents' Variance is a measure of how spread out the fatal accident data set is. It is calculated as the average squared deviation of the number of each month's accident from the mean of the fatal accident data set. It also shows how variable the data varies from the mean of approximately 12.
The fatal accidents' Standard Deviation is the square root of the variance, and a useful measure of variability when the distribution is normal or approximately normal.

Which expression is equivalent to 8 square root 6 ?
Answer:
(2.13982638787^3) x 2
Let E and F be two events of an experiment with sample space S. Suppose P(E) = 0.6, P(F) = 0.3, and P(E ∩ F) = 0.1. Compute the values below.
(a) P(E ∪ F) =
(b) P(Ec) =
(c) P(Fc ) =
(d) P(Ec ∩ F) =
Answer:
(a) P(E∪F)= 0.8
(b) P(Ec)= 0.4
(c) P(Fc)= 0.7
(d) P(Ec∩F)= 0.8
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) It is called a union of two events A and B, and A ∪ B (read as "A union B") is designated to the event formed by all the elements of A and all of B. The event A∪B occurs when they do A or B or both.
If the events are not mutually exclusive, the union of A and B is the sum of the probabilities of the events together, from which the probability of the intersection of the events will be subtracted:
P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)
In this case:
P(E∪F)= P(E) + P(F) - P(E∩F)
Being P(E) = 0.6, P(F) = 0.3 and P(E ∩ F) = 0.1
P(E∪F)= 0.6 + 0.3 - 0.1
P(E∪F)= 0.8
(b) The complement of an event A is defined as the set that contains all the elements of the sample space that do not belong to A. The Complementary Rule establishes that the sum of the probabilities of an event and its complement must be equal to 1. So, if P (A) is the probability that an event A occurs, then the probability that A does NOT occur is P (Ac) = 1- P (A)
In this case: P(Ec)= 1 - P(E)
Then: P(Ec)= 1 - 0.6
P(Ec)= 0.4
(c) In this case: P(Fc)= 1 - P(F)
Then: P(Fc)= 1 - 0.3
P(Fc)= 0.7
(d) The intersection of two events A and B, designated as A ∩ B (read as "A intersection B") is the event formed by the elements that belong simultaneously to A and B. The event A ∩ B occurs when A and B do at once.
As mentioned, the complementary rule states that the sum of the probabilities of an event and its complement must equal 1. Then:
P(Ec intersection F) + P(E intersection F) = P(F)
P(Ec intersection F) + 0.1 = 0.3
P(Ec intersection F)= 0.2
Being:
P(Ec∪F)= P(Ec) + P(F) - P(Ec∩F)
you get:
P(Ec∩F)= P(Ec) + P(F) - P(Ec∪F)
So:
P(Ec∩F)= 0.4 + 0.3 - 0.2
P(Ec∩F)= 0.8
Suppose that 80% of all registered California voters favor banning the release of information from exit polls in presidential elections until after the polls in California close. A random sample of 25 registered California voters is selected.
Required:
a. Calculate the mean and standard deviation of the number of voters who favor the ban.
b. What is the probability that exactly 20 voters favor the ban?
Answer:
a. Mean = 20
Sd = 4
b. Probability of X = 20 = 0.1960
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
n = 25
p = 80% = 0.8
mean = np
= 0.8 * 25
= 20
standard deviation = √np(1-p)
= √25*0.8(1-0.8)
=√4
= 2
probability that exactly 20 favours ban
it follows a binomial distribution
= 25C20 × 0.8²⁰ × 0.2⁵
= 53130 × 0.01153 × 0.00032
= 0.1960
Probability of X = 20 = 0.1960
