Answers

Answer:

The system of equations you want to be solved is not given. I would however give an example with which the method of elimination will be shown, and can be used in solving problems of the nature.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the system of equations:

x + y = 7 ................................(1)

2x - y = 8 ..............................(2)

To eliminate x:

First multiply (1) by 2 to have

2x + 2y = 14 ...........................(3)

Next, subtract (2) from (3) to have

3y = 6

y = 6/3 = 2

To eliminate y:

Add (1) and (2) to have

3x = 15

x = 15/3 = 5

Therefore, (x, y) = (5, 2).

Determine whether the statement (p∧(p⟶q))⟶q is a tautology one time by using truth table and the other time without using truth table

Answers

It is.........................................................

One way to prove this without a truth table is to use a conditional proof. We assume the portion p ^ (p --> q). If that's true, then so is p and p-->q

Using p and p-->q, the modus ponens rule allows us to derive q. It says that if p is true and p --> q, then q must be true as well.

Since we arrive at q, we have found the conclusion we're after. The assumption (p ^ (p-->q)) leads to q, and therefore the entire statement (p ^ (p-->q)) --> q is true for any combination of p,q.

Answer:

  perimeter ≈ 12.4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The side adjacent to the angle is given. The relationships useful for the other two sides are ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

From these, we have ...

  opposite = 5·tan(22°) ≈ 2.02

  hypotenuse = 5/cos(22°) ≈ 5.39

Then the perimeter is ...

  P = a + b + c = 2.02 + 5 + 5.39 = 12.41

The perimeter of ∆ABC is about 12.4 units.

a ball is dropped from a height of 512 inches onto a level floor. after the fourth bounce it is still 2 inches off the ground. presuming that the height the ball bounces is always the same fraction of the height reached on the previous bounce. what is that fraction? A) 1/4 B) 3/7 C) 5/9 D)4/7 E)3/5

Answers

Answer:

A. 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that before the 1st bounce, the height of the ball is 512 inches.

Say the fraction is x.

Then, after the first bounce, the height of the ball is 512 * x = 512x.

After the second bounce, the height is now x * 512x = 512x².

By similar reasoning, the height after the third bounce is 512x³ and after the fourth bounce, it is [tex]512x^4[/tex].

We also know that after the fourth bounce, the height is 2 inches. So, set 2 equal to [tex]512x^4[/tex]:

2 = [tex]512x^4[/tex]

Divide both sides by 512:

[tex]x^4=2/512[/tex][tex]x^4=2/512=1/256[/tex]

Take the fourth root of both sides:

[tex]x=\sqrt[4]{1/256} =1/4[/tex]

Hence, the answer is A.

~ an aesthetics lover

Answer:

A. 1/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is exponential decay so we  have , where x = the fraction:

Answers

Answer:

Cohen's D

Step-by-step explanation:

Cohen's D is a statistic that measures effect size. It shows standardised difference between 2 means.

Effect size is defined as how large the effect of a something is or its magnitude.

Cohen's D works effectively when the sample is >50 (that is for large samples). However a correction factor can be used to make results from small samples more accurate

The formular for Cohen's D is:

D = (mean1 - mean2) ÷ (√({standard deviation1}^2 + {standard deviation 2}^2)/2)

Ted has to gift wrap a box of chocolates that is shaped like a triangular prism. What is the minimum amount of wrapping paper he needs?

Answers

Answer:

69.48 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of wrapping paper needed = surface area of the triangular prism

Surface area of triangular prism is given as, area = Perimeter of triangular base*height of prism + 2(base area)

Perimeter of triangular base = sum of the 3 sides of the prism

Perimeter of base = 3.5 + 3.5 + 3 = 10 inches

Height of prism = 6 inches

Base area = ½*base of triangle * height of triangle = ½*3*3.16 = 4.74 in²

Surface area of triangular prism = [tex] 10*6 + 2(4.74) [/tex]

Find the probability of winning a lottery with the following rule. Select the  six  winning numbers from​ 1, 2, . . .​ ,34 . ​(In any order. No​ repeats.)

Answer:

The  probability is  [tex]P(winning ) = 7.435 *10^{-7}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  total winning numbers   n =  34

      The total number to select is   r =  6

The total outcome of  lottery is mathematically represented as

      [tex]t_{outcome}) = \left n } \atop {}} \right. C_r[/tex]

      [tex]t_{outcome}) = \frac{n! }{(n-r )! r!}[/tex]

substituting values

      [tex]t_{outcome}) = \frac{ 34 ! }{(34 - 6 )! 6!}[/tex]

      [tex]t_{outcome}) = \frac{ 34 ! }{28 ! 6!}[/tex]

     [tex]t_{outcome}) =1344904[/tex]

The  number of desired outcome is  

           [tex]t_{desired} = 1[/tex]

 this is because the desired outcome is choosing the six winning number

   The probability of winning a lottery is mathematically represented as

      [tex]P(winning ) = \frac{t_{desired}}{t_{outcome}}[/tex]

substituting values  

     [tex]P(winning ) = \frac{1}{1344904 }[/tex]

      [tex]P(winning ) = 7.435 *10^{-7}[/tex]

A young sumo wrestler decided to go on a special high-protein diet to gain weight rapidly. When he started his diet, he weighed 79.5 kilograms. He gained weight at a rate of 5.5 kilograms per month. Let y represent the sumo wrestler's weight (in kilograms) after x months. Which of the following could be the graph of the relationship? graph of an increasing linear function in quadrant 1 with a positive y-intercept (Choice B) B graph of an increasing linear function in quadrants 1 and 4 with a positive x-intercept and negative y-intercept (Choice C) C graph of a decreasing linear function in quadrants 1 and 4 with a positive x-intercept and positive y-intercept (Choice D) D graph of a decreasing linear function in quadrant 4 with a negative y-intercept

Answers

Answer:

(Choice A) A graph of an increasing linear function in quadrant 1 with a positive y-intercept.

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of the sumo wrestler starts at a positive value of 79.5 kilograms, and we are given that the sumo wrestler gains a linear amount of weight per month at 5.5 kilograms per month.

If we were to graph this relationship, the sumo wrestler's weight would be represented on the y-axis, and the amount of time on the x-axis.

So the initial weight would occur at (0, 79.5) which is the positive y-intercept.

And since his weight is increasing at 5.5 kilograms per month, the slope of the linear function is positive.

Hence, the graph of the linear increasing function in quadrant 1 with a positive y-intercept.

A class with n kids lines up for recess. The order in which the kids line up is random with eachordering being equally likely. There are three kids in the class named John, Betty, and Mary.

Simplify your final expressionas much as possible so that your answer does not include any expressions of the form (a/b).Requried:a. What is the probability that Betty is first in line or Mary is last in line? b. Explain the method used to calculate probability.

Answers

Answer:

A) P(Betty is first in line and mary is last) = P(B₁) + P(Mₙ) - (P(B₁) × P(Mₙ/B₁))

B) The method used is Relative frequency approach.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told a sample of n kids line up for recess.

Now, the order in which they line up is random with each ordering being equally likely. Thus, this means that the probability of each kid to take a position is n(total of kids/positions).

Since we are being asked about 3 kids from the class, let's assign a letter to each kid:

J: John

B: Betty

M: Mary

A) Now, we want to find the probability that Betty is first in line or Mary is last in line.

In this case, the events are not mutually exclusive, since it's possible that "Betty is first but Mary is not last" or "Mary is last but Betty is not first" or "Betty is the first in line and Mary is last". Thus, there is an intersection between them and the probability is symbolized as;

P(B₁ ∪ Mₙ) = P(B₁) + P (Mₙ) - P(B₁ ∩ Mₙ) = P(B₁) + P(Mₙ) - (P(B₁) × P(Mₙ/B₁))

Where;

The suffix 1 refers to the first position while the suffix n refers to the last position.

Also, P(B₁ ∩ Mₙ) = P(B₁) × P(Mₙ/B₁)

This is because the events "Betty" and "Mary" are not independent since every time a kid takes his place the probability of the next one is affected.

B) The method used is Relative frequency approach.

In this method, the probabilities are usually assigned on the basis of experimentation or historical data.

For example, If A is an event we are considering, and we assume that we have performed the same experiment n times so that n is the number of times A could have occurred.

Also, let n_A be the number of times that A did occur.

Now, the relative frequency would be written as (n_A)/n.

Thus, in this method, we will define P(A) as:

P(A) = lim:n→∞[(n_A)/n]

Given this pair of probabilities, the probability that Mary is the first is  n(A) = n-1!, while the probability that Betty is last is  n(A) = n-1!

There are n! ways of making this arrangement

We have probability of A: Betty is the first person in this line

Probability of B: Mary is the last person

A U B = p(A) + p(B) - p(A ∩ B)

n(A) = n-1 that is given that Betty is the first person on the line.

then n(A) = n-1!

As the last person on the line P(B) = n-1!

Probability of (A∩B) =( n-2)!  this has Mary as the first and Betty as the last person.

Remaining students that would have to be on this line are n-2

Prob(A∪B) = n(A ∪ B)/n!

= 2(n-2)/n(n-1)
