low using the elimination method?
x + y = 4
2x - y = 2
That is, which of the following would be the first step in a method that would require the
fewest number of steps?
A
multiplying the second equation by -2
B
adding the two equations together
С
multiplying the first equation by -2
D
multiplying both equations by 2

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply each equation by a suitable number so that the two equations have the same leading coefficient. Step 2: Subtract the second equation from the first. Step 3: Solve this new equation for y. Step 4: Substitute y = 2 into either Equation 1 or Equation 2 above and solve for x.

Sam feels that students score better on math tests that take place on Fridays. The school provides Sam with the school math test average, but they cannot separate them by date taken. The school is too large for him to ask every student, so he randomly selects a sample of willing students' test scores after the next Friday's math test. He uses the method of hypothesis testing to compare the Friday scores against the true average of all scores. Frame the correct set of hypotheses for his research. Decide where the rejection region will lie.

Answers

Answer:

H0 : μ ≤ x

H1 : μ > x

The hypothesis :

The null hypothesis, H0 : μ ≤ x

The alternative hypothesis, uses the Friday score samples to compare the hypothesis ;

The alternative hypothesis, H1 : μ > 8

For then null, the mean scores is assumed to be the same, and has such mean of Friday's test score takes the value of the population.

Let the population mean value = x

The alternative hypothesis is the claim that the sampled mean gives a greater value than the population mean :

find the coefficient of mt in the expansion of 4m(3n-2t)+3t(3t-2m)​

Answers

Answer:

-14

Step-by-step explanation:

12mn-8mt+9t²-6mt

12mn+9t²-14mt

the coefficient of mt is -14

The coefficient of the given expansion 4m(3n-2t)+3t(3t-2m)​ will be -14.

What is expansion?

Expanded form is the term used in mathematics to refer to the process of expanding a number to convey the value of every digit and place value.

When a mathematical object is increased by a multiplier that is bigger in actual values than one, an expansion follows.

In another word, if you solve a factor by opening the bracket then you will go to get on some expanded term called expansion.

In mathematics, all real-life problems can be converted into equations which are sometimes in form of factors and we need to expand them to create solutions.

Given that

⇒ 4m(3n-2t)+3t(3t-2m)​

⇒  12mn -8mt + 9t² - 6mt

⇒  12mn + 9t² + 14 mt

Hence it's clear that the coefficient of mt will be -14.

Which equation matches the graph shown?

On the graph we can see a parabola that opens downwards, so it has a negative leading coefficient.

We also can see that the vertex of the parabola is on the point (3, -5)

Then the equation of the parabola is something like:

y + 5 = a*(x - 3)^2

Where a is a negative real number.

The only option of this form is option B, so we conclude that option B:

Inverse trigonometry functions I need help finding the answers everything I’ve tried says it’s wrong

Answers

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions

cos theta = adj / hypotenuse

cos x = 13/20

Taking the inverse cos of each side

arccos ( cos x ) = arccos( 13/20)

x = arccos ( 13/20)

x =49.45839

x = 49  to the nearest whole number

sin theta = opp/ hyp

sin y = 13/20

Taking the inverse sin of each side

arcsin ( sin y ) = arcsin( 13/20)

y = arcsin ( 13/20)

y=40.5416

y = 41 to the nearest whole number

the area of a parallelogram shape land is on the square and length of its two adjacent sides are 25 m and 17 M find its diagonal​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw diagonal AC

The triangle ABC has sides 17 and 25

Say AB is 17, BC is 25

Draw altitude on side BC from A , say h

h = 17 sin B

Area = 25*17 sin B = 408

sin B = 24/25

In ∆ ABC

Cos B = +- 7/25

= 625 + 289 — b^2 / 2*25*17

b^2 = 914 — 14*17 = 676

b = 26

h = 17*24/25 = 408/25 = 16.32

Draw the second diagonal BD

In ∆ BCD, draw altitude from D, say DE =h

BD^2 = h^2 + {(25 + sqrt (289 -h^2) }^2

BD^2 = 16.32^2 + (25 + 4.76)^2

= 885.6576 + 266.3424
