We have a line y = 1/3x -6

We want a line that is perpendicular to this line

Perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to -1

1/3 * m = -1

3 * 1/3 *m = -1 * 3

m = -3

The slope of the perpendicular line is -3

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = -3x+b

We have a point on the line ( 7 ,-23)

Substitute this point into the equation

-23 = -3(7)+b

-23 = -21+b

Add 21 to each side

-23+21 = -21+21+b

-2 = b

y = -3x-2

In slope intercept form, the line perpendicular passing through (7,-23) is

y = -3x-2

Answer: $\frac{8}{3}\times \sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two upward facing parabolas with equations

$y=6x^2 & y=x^2+2$

The two intersect at

$6x^2=x^2+2$

$5x^2=2$

$x^2$ = $\frac{2}{5}$

x= $\pm \sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}$

area enclosed by them is given by

A= $\int_{-\sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}}^{\sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}}\left [ \left ( x^2+2\right )-\left ( 6x^2\right ) \right ]dx$

A= $\int_{\sqrt{-\frac{2}{5}}}^{\sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}}\left ( 2-5x^2\right )dx$

A= $4\left [ \sqrt{\frac{2}{5}} \right ]-\frac{5}{3}\left [ \left ( \frac{2}{5}\right )^\frac{3}{2}-\left ( -\frac{2}{5}\right )^\frac{3}{2} \right ]$

A= $\frac{8}{3}\times \sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}$

There are three power plants [X, Y, Z] that at any given time each one either generates electricity or idles. Event A is that pl

insens350 [35]

We're told that

$P(A\cap B)=0.15$

$P(A\cup B)^C=0.06\implies P(A\cup B)=0.94$

$P(B\mid A)=P(B^C\mid A)=0.5$

where the last fact is due to the law of total probability:

$P(A)=P(A\cap B)+P(A\cap B^C)$

$\implies P(A)=P(B\mid A)P(A)+P(B^C\mid A)P(A)$

$\implies 1=P(B\mid A)+P(B^C\mid A)$

so that $B\mid A$ and $B^C\mid A$ are complementary.

By definition of conditional probability, we have

$P(B\mid A)=P(B^C\mid A)$

$\implies\dfrac{P(A\cap B)}{P(A)}=\dfrac{P(A\cap B^C)}{P(A)}$

$\implies P(A\cap B)=P(A\cap B^C)$

We make use of the addition rule and complementary probabilities to rewrite this as

$P(A\cap B)=P(A\cap B^C)$

$\implies P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B^C)-P(A\cup B^C)$

$\implies P(B)-[1-P(A\cup B)^C]=[1-P(B)]-P(A\cup B^C)$

$\implies2P(B)=2-[P(A\cup B)^C+P(A\cup B^C)]$

$\implies2P(B)=[1-P(A\cup B)^C]+[1-P(A\cup B^C)]$

$\implies2P(B)=P(A\cup B)+P(A\cup B^C)^C$

$\implies2P(B)=P(A\cup B)+P(A^C\cap B)\quad(*)$

By the law of total probability,

$P(B)=P(A\cap B)+P(A^C\cap B)$

$\implies P(A^C\cap B)=P(B)-P(A\cap B)$

and substituting this into $(*)$ gives

$2P(B)=P(A\cup B)+[P(B)-P(A\cap B)]$

$\implies P(B)=P(A\cup B)-P(A\cap B)$

$\implies P(B)=0.94-0.15=\boxed{0.79}$
