solve the system of equations using substitution or graphing.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

I think substitution would be the easiest since you already have one of the variables solved for.

[tex]y=-x^2+4x+5\\y=x+1\\x+1=-x^2+4x+5\\x^2-3x-4=0\\(x-4)(x+1)=0\\x-4=0\\x=4\\x+1=0\\x=-1[/tex]

(You can just set the equations equal to each other since they both equal y).

Now, to get the points, plug in x = 4 and x = -1 into one of the equations (I'm going to plug them into y = x+1 because that one is much simpler)

[tex]y(4)=4+1\\y(4)=5\\y(-1)=-1+1\\y(-1)=0[/tex]

So, your final points are:

(4,5) and (-1,0)

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use substitution to solve this problem. Since we are given y=-x²+4x+5 and y=x+1, we can set them equal to each other.

-x²+4x+5=x+1        [subtract both sides by x]

-x²+3x+5=1            [subtract both sides by 1]

-x²+3x+4=0

Now that we have the equation above, we can factor it to find the roots.

-x²+3x+4=0           [factor out -1]

-1(x²-3x-4)=0         [factor x²-3x-4]

-1(x+1)(x-4)=0

This tells us that x=-1 and x=4.

We can narrow down our answer to A, but let's plug in those values to be sure it is correct.

-(-1)²+4(-1)+5=(-1)+1      [exponent]

-1+4(-1)+5=-1+1              [multiply]

-1-4+5=-1+1                    [add and subtract from left to right]

0=0  

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

-(4)²+4(4)+5=(4)+1      [exponent]

-16+4(4)+5=4+1           [multiply]

-16+16+5=4+1              [add and subtract from left to right]

5=5

Therefore, we can conclude that A is the correct answer.

A line that passes through the origin also passes through the point (6,2). What is the slope of the line?

please answer with an explanation

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is the ratio of its "rise" to its "run." The "rise" is the change in vertical distance, and the "run" is the corresponding change in horizontal distance between two points on the line. The formula for the slope is ...

  [tex]m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\qquad\text{where $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ are points on the line}[/tex]

In this problem, you are told the line passes through the origin, which is point (x, y) = (0, 0), and through point (6, 2). Using these coordinates in the slope formula gives ...

  [tex]m=\dfrac{2-0}{6-0}=\dfrac{2}{6}=\boxed{\dfrac{1}{3}}[/tex]

__

You may notice that when the line passes through the origin, the slope is simply the ratio y/x of any point on the line. Here, that ratio is 2/6 = 1/3.

_____

Additional comment

A line through the origin is the graph of a proportional relationship. That is, y is proportional to x. The slope of the line is the constant of proportionality. The equation of the line is ...

  y = kx . . . . . . where k is the constant of proportionality.

The line in this problem statement will have the equation ...

  y = (1/3)x

2) 0.0465 = 4.65% probability that a random sample of 20 pregnancies has a mean gestation period of 260 days or less.

3) 0.004 = 0.4% probability that a random sample of 50 pregnancies has a mean gestation period of 260 days or less.

4) 0.9844 = 98.44% probability a random sample of size 15 will have a mean gestation period within 10 days of the mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve these questions, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

The height, X, of all 3-year-old females is approximately normally distributed with mean 38.72 inches and standard deviation 3.17 inches.

This means that [tex]\mu = 38.72, \sigma = 3.17[/tex]

Sample of 10:

This means that [tex]n = 10, s = \frac{3.17}{\sqrt{10}}[/tex]

Compute the probability that a simple random sample of size n= 10 results in a sample mean greater than 40 inches.

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 40. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{40 - 38.72}{\frac{3.17}{\sqrt{10}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.28[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.28[/tex] has a p-value of 0.8997

1 - 0.8997 = 0.1003

0.1003 = 10.03% probability that a simple random sample of size n= 10 results in a sample mean greater than 40 inches.

Gestation periods:

[tex]\mu = 266, \sigma = 16[/tex]

1. What is the probability a randomly selected pregnancy lasts less than 260 days?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 260. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{260 -  266}{16}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.375[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.375[/tex] has a p-value of 0.3539.

0.3539 = 35.39% probability a randomly selected pregnancy lasts less than 260 days.

2. What is the probability that a random sample of 20 pregnancies has a mean gestation period of 260 days or less?

Now [tex]n = 20[/tex], so:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{260 - 266}{\frac{16}{\sqrt{20}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.68[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.68[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0465.

0.0465 = 4.65% probability that a random sample of 20 pregnancies has a mean gestation period of 260 days or less.

3. What is the probability that a random sample of 50 pregnancies has a mean gestation period of 260 days or less?

Now [tex]n = 50[/tex], so:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{260 - 266}{\frac{16}{\sqrt{50}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.65[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.65[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0040.

0.004 = 0.4% probability that a random sample of 50 pregnancies has a mean gestation period of 260 days or less.

4. What is the probability a random sample of size 15 will have a mean gestation period within 10 days of the mean?

Sample of size 15 means that [tex]n = 15[/tex]. This probability is the p-value of Z when X = 276 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 256.

X = 276

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{276 - 266}{\frac{16}{\sqrt{15}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.42[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.42[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9922.

X = 256

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{256 - 266}{\frac{16}{\sqrt{15}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.42[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.42[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0078.

0.9922 - 0.0078 = 0.9844

0.9844 = 98.44% probability a random sample of size 15 will have a mean gestation period within 10 days of the mean.

m∠H = 30°

Using the AAS congruence theorem, the values of x and y that show that both triangles are congruent are: x = 3 and y = 8.

What is the AAS Congruence Theorem?

According to the angle-angle-side congruence theorem (AAS), two triangles are congruent if they have two corresponding congruent angles and one pair of corresponding non-included sides that are congruent.

Thus, by the AAS theorem, we have:

8x - 12 = 12

8x = 12 + 12

8x = 24

x = 3

Also,

7y + 4 = 60

7y = 60 - 4

7y = 56

y = 8

[tex]0.0000127-0.000007=0.0000057[/tex]

Answer:

Domain: [tex](-\infty, 1][/tex]

Range: [tex](-\infty, 3][/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain of a function represents the range of x-values that are part of the function, read left to right. We can see that the function goes forever to the left and stops at [tex]x=1[/tex] when we read left to right. Therefore, the domain of this function is [tex]\boxed{(-\infty, 1]}[/tex].

The point at [tex]x=1[/tex] is a filled-in solid dot so it is included as part of the function. Use square brackets to denote inclusive.

The range of a function represents all y-values that are part of the function, read bottom to top. The function continues down forever and stops at [tex]y=3[/tex] when read bottom to top. Therefore, the range of this function is [tex]\boxed{(-\infty, 3]}[/tex]. Similar to the domain, we use a square bracket on the right to indicate that [tex]y=3[/tex] is included in the function. If the dot was not filled-in, then we would use a parenthesis to indicate that [tex]y=3[/tex] would not be part of the function.
