Answer:
You use the facts about a 30, 60, 90 triangle.
Step-by-step explanation:
The angles in a triangle add up to 180.
90+30+x=180
120+x=180
x=60
This is a 30-60-90 right triangle.
The side opposite the 30 degree angle is a.
The side opposite the 90 degree angle (hypotenuse) is 2a.
The side opposite the 60 degree angle is a
We know the side opposite the 90 degree angle.
2a = 12
Divide by 2.
a=6
a is the side opposite the 30 degree angle (y)
Because we know a, we can find a.
6
The square roots cancel, leaving 3.
6 times 3 is 18.
Therefore, the side opposite the 60 degree angle (x) is 18.

(a) If <em>f(x)</em> is to be a proper density function, then its integral over the given support must evaulate to 1:
For the integral, substitute <em>u</em> = <em>x</em> ² and d<em>u</em> = 2<em>x</em> d<em>x</em>. Then as <em>x</em> → 0, <em>u</em> → 0; as <em>x</em> → ∞, <em>u</em> → ∞:
which reduces to
<em>c</em> / 2 (0 + 1) = 1 → <em>c</em> = 2
(b) Find the probability P(1 < <em>X </em>< 3) by integrating the density function over [1, 3] (I'll omit the steps because it's the same process as in (a)):
