Answer:

No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 4y= -6 ----- eq(1)

-x + 2y = -2 ----- eq(2)

Simplifying eq(1) by taking 2 as common,

2(x-2y) = 2(-3)

x - 2y= -3 -----eq(1)

from eq(1)

x - 2y = -3

x = -3 + 2y ---eq(3)

substituting eq(3) into eq(2)

-(-3 + 2y) + 2y = -2

3 - 2y + 2y = -2

3 = -2

Therefore This pair of linear Equations Has No Solution

The question you have indicated appears incomplete. However, here is a very similar example that uses the same logic and principles of probability and proportion. In this case, the proof is given below.

a.

Given: f(x) = 2(x+2)/5 , 0 <x< 1

Calculating P(0 <X< 1)

P(0 <X< 1) = ∫ f(x) dx {0.1}

Substitute 2(x+2)/5 for f(x)

P(0 <X< 1) = ∫ 2(x+2)/5 dx {0.1}

P(0 <X< 1) = 2/5 ∫(x+2) dx {0.1}

Integrate with respect to x

P(0 <X< 1) = 2/5 (x²/2+2x) {0.1}

P(0 <X< 1) = 2/5 (1²/2+2(1))

P(0 <X< 1) = 2/5 (½+2)

P(0 <X< 1) = 2/5 * 5/2

P(0 <X< 1) = 1 ----- Proved

b.

Here we're to solve for P(¼<X< ½)

P(¼<X< ½) = ∫ f(x) dx {¼,½}

Substitute 2(x+2)/5 for f(x)

P(¼<X< ½) = ∫ 2(x+2)/5 dx {¼,½}

P(¼<X< ½) = 2/5 ∫(x+2) dx {¼,½}

P(¼<X< ½) = 2/5 (x²/2+2x) {¼,½}

P(¼<X< ½) = 2/5 [ (½²/2+2(½)) - (¼²/2+2(¼))]

P(¼<X< ½) = 2/5 [(⅛+1)-(1/32 + ½)]

P(¼<X< ½) = 0.2375

The height of the given triangle having an area of 13.5in.² and a base length of 6.75 in. is 4 in.

What is a triangle?

A triangle is a polygon with three vertices and three sides. The angles of the triangle are formed by the connection of the three sides end to end at a point. The triangle's three angles add up to 180 degrees in total. Any three points in Euclidean geometry, when they are not collinear, produce a distinct triangle.

In a two-dimensional plane, a triangle's area is the area that it completely encloses. A triangle is a closed shape with three sides and three vertices, as is common knowledge. The entire area occupied by a triangle's three sides is referred to as its area. Half of the product of the triangle's base and height provides the general formula for calculating the area of the triangle.

In this question, we are given,

Area of triangle A = 13.5 in.²

Base of triangle b = 6.75 in.

We are asked to find the height h of the triangle.

Now formula of the area is:

A = 1/2 * b * h

13.5 = 1/2 * 6.75 * h

h = 13.5 *2 / 6.75 = 4 in.

Therefore the height of the given triangle is 4 in.

a. The probability of no insect contaminants in a 225-gram bar from a brand at the mean contamination level can be found using the Poisson probability formula:

[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{ (e^{-λ})(λ^0)}{0!} = \frac{(e^{-14.4})(14.4^0)}{0!}= 0.000000831[/tex]

b. If you consume a bar that is one-fifth the size tested (45 grams) from a brand at the mean contamination level, the mean number of insect fragments would be one-fifth of 14.4, or 2.88. The probability of no insect contaminants can be found using the Poisson probability formula:

[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{(e^-λ)(λ^0)}{0!} = \frac{(e^-2.88)(2.88^0)}{0!} = 0.056032[/tex]

c. If you consume seven 28.35 gram (one-ounce) bars this week from a brand at the mean contamination level, the mean number of insect fragments would be (7 * 28.35/225) * 14.4 = 5.4336.

The probability of consuming one or more insect fragments in more than one bar can be found using the Poisson probability formula and the complement rule:

[tex]$$\begin{aligned}& P(X>1) \\& =1-P(X \hat{a} 1) \\& =1-\left[\left(e^{-} \hat{I}\right)\left(\hat{I}^0\right) / 0 !+\left(e^{-} \hat{I}\right)\left(\hat{I}^1\right) / 1 !\right] \\& =1-\left[\left(e^{-} 5.4336\right)\left(5.4336^0\right) / 0 !+\left(e^{-} 5.4336\right)\left(5.4336^1\right) / 1 !\right] \\& =0.994784\end{aligned}$$[/tex]

d. The probability of contamination more than twice the mean of 14.4 can be found using the Poisson probability formula and the complement rule:

[tex]P(X > 28.8) = 1 - P(X ≤ 28.8) \\= 1 - ∑(e^-λ)(λ^x)/x!\\ = 1 - 0.999999999999999 \\= 0.000000000000001[/tex]

Brian hiked 6 1/2 more miles than Christine.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok. 5.25+4.75+6-2*4.75=6.5 or 6 1/2 more miles.

We can use the formula for compound interest to find the time it will take to reach the target amount:

FV = PV * (1 + r)^t

where FV is the future value (target amount), PV is the present value (amount you have today), r is the interest rate, and t is the time (in years).

Substituting the given values, we get:

230000 = 31000 * (1 + 0.045)^t

Simplifying and solving for t, we get:

t = log(230000/31000) / log(1 + 0.045)

t ≈ 14.09

Therefore, it will take approximately 14.09 years to save enough to buy the Ferrari.

The distance across the lake VW is 185m.

Triangles that are similar but not necessarily the same size are called similar triangles. This indicates that their sides are proportional and that their angles are the same.

We can see there are two similar triangles with interior parallel line.

So, apply the Side Angle Side (SAS) rule for ΔUVW ≈ ΔUXY;

⇒   [tex]\frac{VW}{XY} = \frac{UV}{UX}[/tex]

⇒   [tex]\frac{VW}{120.25}=\frac{(130+70)}{130}[/tex]

The required length of the parking lot is 75 meters.

Perimeter is the measure of the figure on its circumference.

Here,
Let's call the length of the parking lot "L". The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula:

Perimeter = 2 × (length + width)

We know that the width is 62 m and the perimeter is 274 m, so we can plug these values into the formula and solve for the length:

274 = 2 × (L + 62)

Dividing both sides by 2, we get:

137 = L + 62

Subtracting 62 from both sides, we get:

L = 137 - 62

L = 75

The area of the irregular figure to the nearest tenth is 8.12 sq. ft.

Shapes classified as irregular lack both equal sides and equal angles. The entire area occupied by an irregular shape on a two-dimensional plane is referred to as the shape's area. An irregular form can be split into a number of regular shapes, such as triangles, squares, and rectangles, to determine its area. The area of those smaller shapes can then be added to determine the total area.

Given that, the diameter of the semicircle= 2.8 ft.

The radius of the semicircle = 1.4 ft.

The area of the semicircle is:

A = πr² / 2

A = (3.14)(1.4)²/2

A= 3.077 sq. ft

The area of the triangle is given as:

A = 1/2(b)(h)

A = 1/2(2.8)(3.6)

A = 5.04 sq. ft

The area of the irregular figure is:

A = Area of semicircle + area of triangle

The original length of each side of the square was 14 inches.

A square is a geometric form with two dimensions that has four equal sides and four angles that are each 90 degrees (also known as right angles). With all sides being the same length and all angles being right angles, it is a particular case of a rectangle and a parallelogram. A square's sides are all perpendicular to one another, and its diagonals are at right angles to one another. Squares exhibit rotational symmetry of order 4 because they are symmetrical in both their vertical and horizontal axes.

Let's assume that the original length of each side of the square was "x" inches.

When each side of the square is decreased by 2 inches, the new length of each side will be (x-2) inches.

The perimeter of the new square is given as 48 inches. Since a square has four equal sides, the perimeter of a square is given by the formula:

Perimeter = 4 * Side

So, for the new square, we have:

48 = 4 * (x-2)

Simplifying the above equation, we get:

12 = x-2

Adding 2 to both sides, we get:

x = 14

The Spirit Club makes $2.5 profit on each shirt at the end of the year.

What is profit?

Cost price and selling price are better ways to explain profit. Cost price is the actual cost of the good or service, whereas selling price is the price at which it is offered for sale. In this case, the business has made a profit if the selling price of the good is higher than the cost price. Consequently, the profit calculation formula is;

Selling price minus cost price equals profit or gain.

Given that the cost of a shirt for the Spirit Club is $8.

They sell the shirts for 25% off at the end of the year.

The discount amount is $14×25%

= $14×(25/100)

= $14×(1/4)

= $3.5

The selling price of each shirt at the end of the year is $14 - $3.5 = $10.5.

The profit is Selling price - cost price = $10.5 - $8 = $2.5

The probabilities are given as follows:

1) Blue eyes: 0.132.

2) Female with green eyes: 0.09.

A probability is calculated as the division of the desired number of outcomes by the total number of outcomes.

The total number of people is given as follows:

20 + 25 + 30 + 15 + 10 + 12 + 15 + 20 + 10 + 10 = 167.

10 + 12 = 22 people out of 167 have blue eyes, hence the probability is given as follows:

p = 22/167 = 0.132.

15 people out of 167 are female with green eyes, hence the probability is given as follows:

p = 15/167 = 0.09.
