Step-by-step explanation:

180(n-2)/n =157.5

180n -360/n=157.5

Cross multiplying

180n -360=157.5n

180n-157.5n=360

22.5n=360

22.5n/22.5=360/22.5

n=16, the number of sides the polygon has is 16

Similar triangles have corresponding sides with proportional lengths.

AB/BC = DE/EF

5/9 = 7.5/EF

5(EF) = 9 * 7.5

5(EF) = 67.5

EF = 13.5

Molecules of a toxic chemical eventually decompose into inert substances. Suppose the decomposition time is exponentially distri

koban [17]

Answer:

a) 4.16 years

b) 27.73 years

c) 238.44 years

d) 3,870.53 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the random variable that measures the decomposition time.

$\bf \lambda =6$

In this case, since the decomposition time is exponentially distributed with a mean of 1/6, we have

$\bf P(X\leq t)=1-e^{-t/6}\Rightarrow P(X>t)=1-(1-e^{-t/6})=e^{-t/6}$

and we must find a t such that P(x>t)=0.5.

$\bf P(X>t)=0.5\Rightarrow e^{-t/6}=0.5\Rightarrow -t/6=ln(0.5)\Rightarrow t=-6ln(0.5)=4.16\;years$

$\bf \lambda =40$

$\bf P(X>t)=0.5\Rightarrow e^{-t/40}=0.5\Rightarrow -t/40=ln(0.5)\Rightarrow t=-40ln(0.5)=27.73\;years$

$\bf \lambda =344$

$\bf P(X>t)=0.5\Rightarrow e^{-t/344}=0.5\Rightarrow -t/344=ln(0.5)\Rightarrow t=-344ln(0.5)=238.44\;years$

$\bf \lambda =5584$

$\bf P(X>t)=0.5\Rightarrow e^{-t/5584}=0.5\Rightarrow -t/5584=ln(0.5)\Rightarrow t=-5584ln(0.5)=3870.53\;years$

Why do you need to find common denominators simplify your equation

Daniel [21]

Finding common denominators allows you to more easily get your answer for the problem. fractions are complex as it is if you have a denominator of 16 and 4 your immediate reaction would be to just subtract the process and answer would be completely wrong.
