Triple my number add six and subtract my number twice I get my number plus three

1 answer:

8 0

Let the number be x.

Triple the number means 3x
add 6 means 3x + 6
subtract the number twice 3x + 6 - x - x
the result is the number plus 3 means that the result is x + 3

So, combining these into an equation, we get:
3x + 6 - x - x = x + 3

If we solve this equation for x, we will get:
x + 6 = x + 3
The x will cancel out and we will get : 6 = 3

Therefore, this is a false statement.

The interarrival time of nuclear particles in a Monte Carlo simulation of a reaction is designed to have a uniform distribution

jekas [21]

Answer:

Incomplete question, but you can use the formulas given to solve it.

Step-by-step explanation:

Uniform probability distribution:

An uniform distribution has two bounds, a and b.

The probability of finding a value of at lower than x is:

$P(X < x) = \frac{x - a}{b - a}$

The probability of finding a value between c and d is:

$P(c \leq X \leq d) = \frac{d - c}{b - a}$

The probability of finding a value above x is:

$P(X > x) = \frac{b - x}{b - a}$

Uniform distribution over an interval from 0 to 0.5 milliseconds

This means that $a = 0, b = 0.5$

Determine the probability that the interarrival time between two particles will be:

Considering $a = 0, b = 0.5$ , and the question asked, you choose one of the three formulas above.

Solve (x + 4)2 – 3(x + 4) – 3 = 0 using substitution. u = Select the solution(s) of the original equation.

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

$\dfrac{-5-\sqrt{21}}{2},\ \dfrac{-5+\sqrt{21}}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

For the equation $(x+4)^2-3(x+4)-3=0$ use the substitution $u=x+4.$ Then the equation will take look

$u^2-3u-3=0.$

Solve this quadratic equation:

$D=(-3)^2-4\cdot 1\cdot (-3)=9+12=21,\\ \\u_{1,2}=\dfrac{-(-3)\pm \sqrt{21}}{2}=\dfrac{3\pm\sqrt{21}}{2}.$

Thus,

$x+4=\dfrac{3-\sqrt{21}}{2}\text{ or }x+4=\dfrac{3+\sqrt{21}}{2},\\ \\x_1=\dfrac{3-\sqrt{21}}{2}-4=\dfrac{-5-\sqrt{21}}{2}\text{ or }x_2=\dfrac{3+\sqrt{21}}{2}-4=\dfrac{-5+\sqrt{21}}{2}.$
