if a/b = 3 and a + b = 2, what is a - b​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

a/b=3------equation 1

a+b=2-----equation 2

from equation 2

b=2-a

substitute b=2-a in equation 1

a/2-a=3

a=3(2-a)

a=6-3a

a+3a=6

a=6/4

a=3/2

substitute a=3/2 in equation 2

3/2+b=2

3+2b=4

2b=1

b=1/2

a-b=3/2-1/2

a-b=(3-1)/2

a-b=2/2

a-b=1

Some friends are sharing a pizza. If each person gets 1/8 of the pizza, what percent of the pizza does each person get?

Answers

Answer:

1/8=12.50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the pizza as a whole = 100

Then consider 1/8 of 100

or   1/8 * 100  

= 1/4 * 50

=   1/2 * 25

= 12.50

Therefore it is 12.50%

We can solve this by dividing 1/8 since each friend gets 1/8 of the pizza. 1/8 gives us 0.125 as a decimal. After we convert that to a percentage, we will get 12.5 or 12. 50%. You can get the percentage by multiplying 0.125*100.

billy joe purchased a 60 gallon pool. at 1 pm he stared filling the pool at the rate of 3 gallons per hour. after 10 hours the horses started drinking the water at the rate of 1 gallon per hour. five hours after that he notices the animal and place a second hose in the pool which filled at the rate of 2 gallons per hour. at what time was the pool finally filled

Answers

Answer:

3*10=30 gallons after 10 hours

minus 1 gal/hr for 5 hours=25 gallons.

If the animals are still drinking, the pool is effectively filling at 1 gal/hr, 2-1, and it will take 35 more hours to fill.

If the animals aren't drinking, the pool will fill at 2 gal/hour and it will be full in 35/2 hours or 17.5 hours.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is "0.7289".

Step-by-step explanation:

The given values are:

Mean,

[tex]\mu = 15.5[/tex]

Standard deviation,

[tex]\sigma = 3.6[/tex]

As we know,

⇒ [tex]z = \frac{(x - \mu)}{\sigma}[/tex]

The probability will be:

⇒ [tex]P(11< x< 19) = P(\frac{11-15.5}{3.6} <z<\frac{19-15.5}{3.6})[/tex]

                             [tex]=P(z< 0.9722)-P(z< -1.25)[/tex]

By using the z table, we get

                             [tex]=0.8345-0.1056[/tex]

                             [tex]=0.7289[/tex]

a fair coin is flipped. if the flip results in a head, then a fruit is selected from a basket containing 8 apples, 2 bananas, and 6 cantaloups. if the flip results in a tail, then a fruit is selected from a basket containing 6 apples and 4 bananas. what is the probability that the flip resulted in tails, given that the fruit selexted is a banana g

Answers

Solution :

We have given two baskets :

[tex]$H_1$[/tex] : 8 apples + 2 bananas + 6 cantaloupes = 16 fruits

[tex]$H_2$[/tex] : 6 apples + 4 bananas = 10 fruits

A fair coin is made to flipped. If the [tex]\text{flip}[/tex] results is head, then the fruit is selected from a basket [tex]$H_1$[/tex].

If the flip results in tail, then the fruit is selected from the basket [tex]$H_2$[/tex].

Probability of head P(H) = [tex]1/2[/tex]

Probability of tail P(T) = [tex]1/2[/tex]

if given event is :

B = selected fruit is BANANA

We have to calculate : P(T|B)

Probability of banana if the flip results is head P(B|H) = [tex]$\frac{2}{16}$[/tex]

Probability of banana if the flip results is tail P(B|T) = [tex]$\frac{4}{10}$[/tex]

From the Bayes' theorem :

Probability of flip results is tail when selected fruit is BANANA.

[tex]$P(T|B) = \frac{P(B|T)\ P(T)}{P(B|T) \ P(T) + P(B|H)\ P(H)}$[/tex]

            [tex]$=\frac{\frac{4}{10} \times \frac{1}{2}} {\frac{4}{10} \times \frac{1}{2} + \frac{2}{16} \times \frac{1}{2}}$[/tex]

            [tex]$=\frac{\frac{1}{5}}{\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{16}}$[/tex]

            [tex]$=\frac{\frac{1}{5}}{\frac{21}{80}}$[/tex]

            [tex]$=\frac{16}{21}$[/tex]

∴  [tex]$P(\ T|B\ )=\frac{16}{21}$[/tex]

Answers

245 miles

49/100*500 i guess it's the answer

Answer: 255 miles

Explanation:

Total length of the trip = 500 miles

Then 49% = 49/100×500

= 245 miles

Therefore she slept for 245 miles

How many miles had they travelled when meena fell asleep

= 51%

= 51/100×500

= 255 miles

Or

500 - 245

2. What is a determinant and what role does it play with matrices (Hint: What does a determinant of 0 mean)? How can this be used when solving systems of equations?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Explanation:

Definition

The determinant of a square matrix is a single number that is computed (recursively) as the sum of products of the elements of a row or column and the determinants of their cofactors. The determinant of a single element is the value of that element.

The cofactor of an element in an n by n matrix is the (n-1) by (n-1) matrix that results when the row and column of that element are deleted. The "appropriate sign" of the element is applied to the cofactor matrix. The "appropriate sign" of an element is positive if the sum of its row and column numbers is even, negative otherwise. (Rows and columns are considered to be numbered 1 to n in an n by n matrix.)

Uses

The inverse of a square matrix is the transpose of the cofactor matrix, divided by the determinant. Hence if the determinant is zero, the inverse matrix is undefined. This means any system of equations the matrix might represent will have no distinct solution. (There may be zero solutions, or there may be an infinite number of solutions. The determinant by itself cannot tell you which.)

Cramer's Rule for the solution of linear systems of equations specifies that the value of any given variable is the ratio of the determinants of two matrices. The numerator matrix is the original matrix with the coefficients of the variable replaced by the constants in the standard-form equations; the denominator matrix is the original coefficient matrix. This rule lets you solve a system of 3 equations in 3 variables by computing 3+1 = 4 determinants, for example.

Let's look at an example.

If we wanted to solve this system of equations

[tex]\begin{cases}2x-y = 2\\x+y = 7\end{cases}[/tex]

Then it's equivalent to solving this matrix equation

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}2 & -1\\1 & 1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}x\\y\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}2\\7\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

We can then further condense that into the form

[tex]Aw = B[/tex]

Where,

[tex]A = \begin{bmatrix}2 & -1\\1 & 1\end{bmatrix}\\\\w = \begin{bmatrix}x\\y\end{bmatrix}\\\\B = \begin{bmatrix}2\\7\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

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

To solve the matrix equation Aw = B, we could compute the inverse matrix [tex]A^{-1}[/tex] and left-multiply both sides by this to isolate w.

So we'd go from [tex]Aw=B[/tex] to [tex]w = A^{-1}*B[/tex]. The order of multiplication is important.

For any 2x2 matrix of the form

[tex]P = \begin{bmatrix}a & b\\c & d\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

its inverse is

[tex]P^{-1} = \frac{1}{ad-bc}\begin{bmatrix}d & -b\\-c & a\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

Notice the expression ad-bc in the denominator of that fractional term outside. This [tex]ad-bc[/tex] expression represents the determinant of matrix P. Some books may use the notation "det" to mean "determinant"

[tex]P^{-1} = \frac{1}{\det(P)}\begin{bmatrix}d & -b\\-c & a\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

or you may see it written as

[tex]P^{-1} = \frac{1}{|P|}\begin{bmatrix}d & -b\\-c & a\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

Those aren't absolute value bars, even if they may look like it.

Based on that, we can see that the determinant must be nonzero in order to compute the inverse of the matrix. Consequently, the determinant must be nonzero in order for Aw = B to have one solution.

If the determinant is 0, then we have two possibilities:

There are infinitely many solutions (aka the system is dependent)There are no solutions (the system is inconsistent)

So a zero determinant would have to be investigated further as to which outcome would occur.

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

Let's return to the example and compute the inverse (if possible).

[tex]A = \begin{bmatrix}2 & -1\\1 & 1\end{bmatrix}\\\\A^{-1} = \frac{1}{2*1 - (-1)*1}\begin{bmatrix}1 & 1\\-1 & 2\end{bmatrix}\\\\A^{-1} = \frac{1}{3}\begin{bmatrix}1 & 1\\-1 & 2\end{bmatrix}\\\\[/tex]

In this case, the inverse does exist.

This further leads to

[tex]w = A^{-1}*B\\\\w = \frac{1}{3}\begin{bmatrix}1 & 1\\-1 & 2\end{bmatrix}*\begin{bmatrix}2\\7\end{bmatrix}\\\\w = \frac{1}{3}\begin{bmatrix}1*2+1*7\\-1*2+2*7\end{bmatrix}\\\\w = \frac{1}{3}\begin{bmatrix}9\\12\end{bmatrix}\\\\w = \begin{bmatrix}(1/3)*9\\(1/3)*12\end{bmatrix}\\\\w = \begin{bmatrix}3\\4\end{bmatrix}\\\\\begin{bmatrix}x\\y\end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}3\\4\end{bmatrix}\\\\[/tex]

This shows that the solution is (x,y) = (3,4).

As the other person pointed out, you could use Cramer's Rule to solve this system. Cramer's Rule will involve using determinants and you'll be dividing over determinants. So this is another reason why we cannot have a zero determinant.

B. How much of the financial goal comes from deposits and how much comes from​ interest?
Periodic Deposit: $? at the end of each year
Rate: 7​% compounded annually
Time: 18 years
Financial Goal: ​$130,000

The periodic deposit is? $

Answers

Answer:

A. Periodic deposit:

The goal is to make $130,000 by depositing a set amount every year.

This set amount is an annuity. The $130,000 is therefore the future value of the annuity after 18 years.

Future value of annuity = Annuity * Future value of annuity factor, 7%, 18 years

130,000 = Annuity * 33.9990

Annuity = 130,000 / 33.9990

= $3,823.64

B. Sources of the financial goal.

Money from deposits = Periodic deposit * no. of years

= 3,823.64 * 18

= $68,825.52

Money from interest:

= Financial goal - Money from deposits

= 130,000 - 68,825.52

= $61,174.48

Insurance companies are interested in knowing the population percent of drivers who always buckle up before riding in a car. They randomly survey 401 drivers and find that 294 claim to always buckle up. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the population proportion that claim to always buckle up. Use interval notation, for example, [1,5].

Answers

Answer:

[0.6969, 0.7695]

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

They randomly survey 401 drivers and find that 294 claim to always buckle up.

This means that [tex]n = 401, \pi = \frac{294}{401} = 0.7332.

90% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.1[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.645[/tex].  

The lower limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.7332 - 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.7332*0.2668}{401}} = 0.6969[/tex]

The upper limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.7332 + 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.7332*0.2668}{401}} = 0.7695[/tex]

The 90% confidence interval for the population proportion that claim to always buckle up is [0.6969, 0.7695]
