True or false: x/3 is equivalent to 1/3x

1 answer:

5 0

1/3x
= (1/3)*x
= (1/3)* (x/1) (because x/1=x)
= (1*x) / (3*1)
= x/3

x/3 is equivalent to 1/3x~

The statement is true

hope this helps you

it cost 3.99 for 25 fl. oz or detergent or 6.99 for 90 fl. oz of detergent which is a better buy? and can you work it out please

Ierofanga [76]

The 90 fl. oz is a better buy
3.99/25=0.15
6.99/90=0.07

Given the following functions f(x) and g(x), solve (f + g)(5) and select the correct answer below:

Flura [38]

The addition of the function is:

(f+g)(x)= f(x)+g(x)

So, (f+g)(5)= f(5)+g(5)

To find f(5) and g(5), plug in 5 for x in both the functions.

So, f(5)= 8(5)-13 = 40-13 = 27

g(5)= 5-9= -4

Now we can add f(5) and g(5) to get the answer.

So, (f+g)(5)= 27 +(-4) = 27-4= 23

Hence, (f+g)(5)= 23

Astronomers treat the number of stars X in a given volume of space as Poisson random variable. The density of stars in the Milky

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable X is defined as the number of stars in a given volume of space.

$X\sim \text{Poisson}\ (\lambda=1)$

The probability mass function of X is:

$p_{X}(x)=\frac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda^{x}}{x!}$

(7)

Compute the probability of exactly two stars in 16 cubic light-years as follows:

$P(X=2)=\frac{e^{-1}\times 1^{2}}{2!}=\frac{e^{-1}}{2}=\frac{0.36788}{2}=0.18394\approx 0.184$

(8)

Compute the probability of three or more stars in 16 cubic light-years as follows:

$P(X\geq 3)=1-P(X$

(9)

In 16 cubic light years there is only 1 star.

Then in 1 cubic light years there will be, (1/16) stars.

Then in 4 cubic light years there will be, 4 × (1/16) = (1/4) stars.

(10)

In 16 cubic light years there is only 1 star.

Then in 1 cubic light years there will be, (1/16) stars.

Then in t cubic light years there will be, [t × (1/16)] stars.
