Write a two column proof. If ZY=3XY, then ZX=4XY

Mathematics
1 answer:
Blababa [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

As you have written

Z Y  = 3 X Y,

It means X, Y, Z are collinear points i.e they lie in the same line or line segment.

Locating points X, Y,Z  on the line

Two possibilities are possible

1. First Z, then X and then Y on the line or line segment

→ Z X + Y X= Z Y

But Z Y = 3 X Y [ Given]

→  Z X + Y X = 3 X Y

→  Z X = 3 X Y -  Y X

→  Z X = 2 X Y ⇒ which is not the result.

2. 2nd Possibility

First Z, then Y and then X on the line or line segment

→ Z X  =  Z Y + Y X

→ Z X= 3 X Y + Y X  [Z Y=3 X Y→(given)]

→ Z X= 4 X Y , Which is the result.

The newest invention of the 6.431x staff is a three-sided die. On any roll of this die, the result is 1 with probability 1/2, 2
Gwar [14]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 0.23(approx).</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given die is a three sided die, hence, there are only three possibilities of getting the outcomes.

We need to find the probability of getting exactly 3s as the result.

From the sequence of 6 independent rolls, 2 rolls can be chosen in ^6C_2 = \frac{6!}{2!\times4!} = \frac{30}{2} = 15 ways.

The probability of getting two 3 as outcome is \frac{1}{4} \times\frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{16}.

In the rest of the 4 sequences, will not be any 3 as outcome.

Probability of not getting a outcome rather than 3 is 1 - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4}.

Hence, the required probability is 15\times\frac{1}{16}(\frac{3}{4})^4 = \frac{1215}{4096}≅0.2966 or, 0.23.

Dr. Drange has a collection of 90 books. Of the books, 2/9 are math books, 1/6 are science books, and the rest are romance novel
Oduvanchick [21]
So whenever a question says "of" multiply. So 2/9x90= 180/9= 20. 1/6x90= 90/6= 15. 90-(20+15)=90-35=55.

55 of the books are romance novels. (or 11/18)

Hope this helps!
