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.

How much would you need to deposit in an account now in order to have $6,000 in the account in 8 years? Assume the account earns 6% interest compounded monthly. (could anyone do this whole problem out?
Answer:
$3,717
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello, in 1 year there are 12 months.
Let's note I the Initial amount.
So, after 1 month we will get the following, because we compute the interest amount for one month only.
I * ( 1 + 6% * (1/12) )
And the next month, we will have interest of the amount available from previous month so it gives
[tex]I * ( 1+6\% * \dfrac{1}{12} ) * ( 1+6\% * \dfrac{1}{12} ) \\\\=I*(1+\dfrac{6}{12*100})^2\\\\=I*(1+\dfrac{1}{200})^2\\\\=I*(1.005)^2[/tex]
... and after n months ...
[tex]I*(1.005)^n[/tex]
8 years is 8*12 = 96 months. so we are looking for I such that
[tex]I*(1.005)^{96}=6000\\\\<=> I =\dfrac{6000}{1.005^{96}}\\\\=\boxed{3717.14345....}[/tex]

The equation of a circle centered at the origin with a radius of unit length is x2 + y2 = 1. This equation changes if the center of the circle is not located at the origin or the radius is not of unit length.
Answer:
The equation for a unit radius circle, centered at the origin is:
x^2 + y^2 = 1
Now, if we want to move it horizontally, you can recall to the horizontal translations:
f(x) -----> f(x - a)
Moves the graph to the right by "a" units.
A vertical translation is similar.
Then, if we want a circle centered in the point (a, b) we have:
(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = 1.
Now, if you want to change the radius, we can actually write the unit circle as:
x^2 + y^2 = 1^2
Where if we set x = 0, 1 = y, this is our radius
So if we have:
x^2 + y^2 = R^2
And we set the value of x = 0, then R = y.
So our radius is R.
Then:
"A circle of radius R, centered in the point (a, b) is written as:
(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = R^2
We want to model the daily movement of a particular stock (say Amazon, ticker = AMZN) using a homogeneous markov-chain. Suppose at the close of the market each day, the stock can end up higher or lower than the previous day’s close. Assume that if the stock closes higher on a day, the probability that it closes higher the next day is .65. If the stock closes lower on a day, the probability that it closes higher the next day is .45.
(a) What is the 1-step transition matrix? (Let 1 = higher, 2 = lower)
(b) On Monday, the stock closed higher. What is the probability that it will close higher on Thursday (three days later)
Answer:
See the explanation and attached images for the answers.
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 1-step transition matrix:
See the attached image for transition matrix.
Let the matrix be M
if the stock closes higher on a day, the probability that it closes higher the next day is 0.65.
If the stock closes lower on a day, the probability that it closes higher the next day is 0.45
if the stock closes higher on a day, the probability that it closes lower the next day is 1 - 0.65 = 0.35
if the stock closes lower on a day, the probability that it closes lower the next day is 1 - 0.45 =0.55
b)
To compute probability for 3 days later multiply matrix M (from part a) thrice i.e. M*M *M
[tex]M^{3} = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.65&0.35\\0.45&0.55\end{array}\right]*\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.65&0.35\\0.45&0.55\end{array}\right]*\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.65&0.35\\0.45&0.55\end{array}\right][/tex]
[tex]M^{3} = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.65 * 0.65 + 0.35 * 0.45 &0.65 * 0.35 + 0.35 * 0.55 \\0.45 * 0.65 + 0.55 * 0.45 &0.45 * 0.35 + 0.55 * 0.55 \end{array}\right] * \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.65&0.35\\0.45&0.55\end{array}\right][/tex]
[tex]M^{3} = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.58&0.42\\0.54&0.46\end{array}\right]*\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.65&0.35\\0.45&0.55\end{array}\right][/tex]
[tex]M^{3} = \left[\begin{array}{ccc} 0.58 * 0.65 + 0.42 x 0.45&0.58 * 0.35 + 0.42 * 0.55 \\0.54 * 0.65 + 0.46 * 0.45 &0.54 * 0.35 + 0.46 * 0.55 \end{array}\right][/tex]
[tex]M^{3} = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.566&0.434\\0.558&0.442\end{array}\right][/tex]
The probability that it will close higher on Thursday is 0.566. See the transmission matrix of M³ for higher-higher. This can be interpreted as:
if the stock closed higher on Monday, the probability that it closes higher the on Thursday (three days later) is 0.566
If you randomly select a card from a well-shuffled standard deck of 52 cards, what is the probability that the card you select is a heart or Ace
Answer:
[tex]P(A\ or\ H) = \frac{4}{13}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Number of Cards = 52
Required
Determine the probability of picking a heart or ace
Represent Ace with Ace and Heart = H
In a standard pack of cards; there are
[tex]n(A) = 4[/tex]
[tex]n(H) = 13[/tex]
[tex]n(A\ and\ H) = 1[/tex]
[tex]Total = 52[/tex]
Because the events are non mutually exclusive
[tex]P(A\ or\ H) = P(A) + P(H) - P(A\ and\ H)[/tex]
Where
[tex]P(A) = \frac{n(A)}{Total} = \frac{4}{52}[/tex]
[tex]P(H) = \frac{n(H)}{Total} = \frac{13}{52}[/tex]
[tex]P(A\ and\ H) = \frac{n(A\ and\ H)}{Total} = \frac{1}{52}[/tex]
Substitute these values in the above formula
[tex]P(A\ or\ H) = P(A) + P(H) - P(A\ and\ H)[/tex]
[tex]P(A\ or\ H) = \frac{4}{52} + \frac{13}{52} - \frac{1}{52}[/tex]
Take LCM
[tex]P(A\ or\ H) = \frac{4 + 13 - 1}{52}[/tex]
[tex]P(A\ or\ H) = \frac{16}{52}[/tex]
Reduce fraction to lowest term
[tex]P(A\ or\ H) = \frac{4}{13}[/tex]
Hence, probability of a heart or ace is 4/13

Name one real-world object that suggests A. Points B. Lines and C. Planes
There are many examples to pick from, one is
point = location on map
line = straight road between two locations (aka two points)
plane = flat ground (the ground cannot have any hills or valleys)
First, let's write some useful definitions:
Point: it is an entity that has a location in a given space or plane, and do not have any surface nor measure.
Line: if we have two points, we can define a line as a straight, infinite ray that connects them. Still does not have a surface
Plane: We can define a plane as a line and a point outside of it, here appears the concept of the surface.
So, the easier one is a plane, a sheet of paper could be a good representation of a plane. And in the same way that a sheet of paper can bend in different ways, also do the planes.
For the line, we could use a really straight wire.
Finally, the point, which is the hardest one to describe (notice that we used points to describe the other two, lines, and planes) so here we could choose something small, that has near to no surface and that also has a location in the space. An example of this could be an electron or any other elemental particle.

For this year's fundraiser, students at a certain school who sell at least 75 magazine subscriptions win a prize. If the fourth grade students at this school sell an average (arithmetic mean) of 47 subscriptions per student, the sales are normally distributed, and have a standard deviation of 14, then approximately what percent of the fourth grade students receive a prize
Answer:
The percentage is k = 2.3%
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The population mean is [tex]\mu = 47[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 14[/tex]
Given that the sales are normally distributed and that students at a certain school who sell at least 75 magazine subscriptions win a prize then the percent of the fourth grade students receive a prize is mathematically represented as
[tex]P(X > 75) = P(\frac{X - \mu }{\sigma } > \frac{75 - \mu }{\sigma })[/tex]
Generally
[tex]\frac{X - \mu }{\sigma } = Z (The \ standardized \ value \ of \ X )[/tex]
So
[tex]P(X > 75) = P(Z > \frac{75 - 47 }{14 })[/tex]
[tex]P(X > 75) = P(Z > 2)[/tex]
From the standardized normal distribution table
[tex]P(Z > 2) =0.023[/tex]
=> [tex]P(X > 75) = 0.023[/tex]
The percentage of the fourth grade students receive a prize is
k = 0.023 * 100
k = 2.3%

Stepwise regression is a variable screening method, not a model building method.
A. True
B. False
Answer:
A. True
Step-by-step explanation:
Stepwise regression is a variable-selection method for independent variables.
Stepwise regression helps us to recognize and choose the most handy descriptive variables from a list of several reasonable independent variables.
It entails a series of steps that is drafted to locate the most handy X-variable to incorporate in a regression model. During each step of the course of action or method, each X - variable is estimated by applying a set criterion to determine if it is meant to exist in the model.
The basis for selection can be choosing a variable which satisfies the stipulated criterion or removing a variable that least satisfies the criterion. A typical illustration of such criterion is the t value.

A buoy floating in the sea is bobbing in simple harmonic motion with amplitude 13 in and period 0.25 seconds. Its displacement d from sea level at time t=0 seconds is 0in, and initially it moves downward. (Note that downward is the negative direction.)Required:Give the equation modeling the displacement d as a function of time t.
Answer:
The equation is [tex]x(t) = -13 cos (8 \pi t )[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The amplitude is [tex]A = 13 \ in[/tex]
The period is [tex]T = 0.25[/tex]
Generally the displacement function for a simple harmonic motion is mathematically represented as
[tex]x(t) = A cos (wt )[/tex]
Here [tex]w[/tex] is the angular frequency which is mathematically represented as
[tex]w = \frac{2 \pi }{T}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]w = \frac{2 \pi }{ 0.25}[/tex]
[tex]w = 8\pi[/tex]
Given that at t = 0 the displacement is equal to 0 it means that there is no phase shift and also we are told that it is initially moving downward which implies that its Amplitude is [tex]A = -13\ in[/tex]
So the equation modeling the displacement d as a function of time t is mathematically represented as
[tex]x(t) = -13 cos (8 \pi t )[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the polynomial:
[tex]x^2+y^2+xy[/tex]

[tex](3)^2+(-8)^2-24[/tex]
Now, solve the exponents.
3^2= 3*3 =9
[tex]9+ (-8)^2 -24[/tex]
-8^2= -8*-8= 64
[tex]9+64-24[/tex]

Answer:
a. z = - 2.1053
b. z = 0.87719
c. z = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
The population mean μ = 94.72
The standard deviation σ = 0.57
the formula for calculating the standard normal z score, which can be represented as:
[tex]z= \dfrac{\overline x - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
For a.
The sample mean [tex]\bar x[/tex] = 93.52
The z score can be computed as follows:
[tex]z= \dfrac{\overline x - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]z= \dfrac{93.52 - 94.72}{0.57}[/tex]
[tex]z= \dfrac{-1.2}{0.57}[/tex]
z = - 2.1053
For b.
The sample mean [tex]\bar x[/tex] = 95.22
[tex]z= \dfrac{\overline x - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]z= \dfrac{95.22 - 94.72}{0.57}[/tex]
[tex]z= \dfrac{0.5}{0.57}[/tex]
z = 0.87719
For c.
The sample mean [tex]\bar x[/tex] = 94.72
[tex]z= \dfrac{\overline x - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]z= \dfrac{94.72 - 94.72}{0.57}[/tex]
[tex]z= \dfrac{0}{0.57}[/tex]
z = 0

y=3/2x - 2
PLEASE WRITE THE STEPS
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
We see that y is equal to 3/2x-2. We can replace the y in the first equation with 3/2x-2 because they are equal and we can solve for x.
3x-2(3/2x-2)=-8
We use the distributive property to undo the parentheses.
3x-3x+4=-8
We combine like terms.
4=-8
We see that since there is no x anymore, there cannot be a solution. We have no x value to solve for the y value either, so there is no solution to this system of equations.

The upper-left coordinates on a rectangle are (-1,4), and the upper-right coordinates are (3,4). The rectangle
has a perimeter of 24 units.
Draw the rectangle on the coordinate plane below.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that the perimeter of a rectangle P = 2(Length + Breadth)
The distance between the upper-left coordinates on a rectangle and the upper-right coordinates is the breadth of the rectangle. To get the breadth of the rectangle, we will use tgw formula for calculating the distance between two points as shown.
D = √(y2-y1)²+(x2-x1)²
Given the coordinates (-1,4) and (3,4), the distance between the coordinates where x1 = -1, y1 = 4, x2 = 3 and y2 = 4 will be expressed as.
B = √(4-4)²+(3-(-1))²
B = √0+4²
B = √16
B = 4
Hence the breadth of the rectangle is 4 units.
Substituting the breadth into the formula for calculating the perimeter will give;
P = 2(L+B)
24 = 2(L+4)
L+4 = 24/2
L+4 =12
L = 12-4
L = 8
Hence the length of the rectangle is 8 units.
The diagram of the rectangle on a coordinate is as given in the attachment below.
