Answer:

  7/11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d represent the original denominator. Then the original numerator is ...

  2d-15

The new numerator is ...

  (2d-15) +5

and the new denominator is ...

  d+7

The ratio of these is 2/3, so we have ...

  \dfrac{2d-15+5}{d+7}=\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\3(2d-10)=2(d+7) \quad\text{cross multiply}\\\\4d=44 \quad\text{add 30-2d}\\\\d=11\\\\2d-15=2(11)-15=7

The original fraction is 7/11.

Identify this coefficient 8x
galben [10]

Answer:

  8

Step-by-step explanation:

The term 8x is a product (as is any term). It is the product of a constant coefficient (8) and a variable (x). The "coefficient" is the multiplier of the variable of interest, so is 8 in this term.

_____

The word "coefficient" is often used to refer to the constant multiplier in any term. For example, in the term 6xy, if we just ask for the coefficient, we are interested in the value 6.

On the other hand, if we ask for the coefficient of y in that term, we expect to be told it is <em>6x</em>. That is, the "coefficient" is the multiplier of the specified variable or constellation of variables.

The lifetime of LCD TV sets follows an exponential distribution with a mean of 100,000 hours. Compute the probability a televisi
kondaur [170]

Answer:

0.9

0.3012

0.1809

230258.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

μ = 100,000

λ = 1/μ = 1 / 100000 = 0.00001

a. Fails in less than 10,000 hours.

P(X < 10,000) = 1 - e^-λx

x = 10,000

P(X < 10,000) = 1 - e^-(0.00001 * 10000)

= 1 - e^-0.1

= 1 - 0.1

= 0.9

b. Lasts more than 120,000 hours.

X more than 120000

P(X > 120,000) = e^-λx

P(X > 120,000) = e^-(0.00001 * 120000)

P(X > 120,000) = e^-1.2

= 0.3011942 = 0.3012

c. Fails between 60,000 and 100,000 hours of use.

P(X < 60000) = 1 - e^-λx

x = 60000

P(X < 60,000) = 1 - e^-(0.00001 * 60000)

= 1 - e-^-0.6

= 1 - 0.5488116

= 0.4511883

P(X < 100000) = 1 - e^-λx

x = 100000

P(X < 60,000) = 1 - e^-(0.00001 * 100000)

= 1 - e^-1

= 1 - 0.3678794

= 0.6321205

Hence,

0.6321205 - 0.4511883 = 0.1809322

d. Find the 90th percentile. So 10 percent of the TV sets last more than what length of time?

P(x > x) = 10% = 0.1

P(x > x) = e^-λx

0.1 = e^-0.00001 * x

Take the In

−2.302585 = - 0.00001x

2.302585 / 0.00001

= 230258.5

A straight line equals 180 degrees, so the 3 angles in the picture need to equal 180.

X + 90 + 25 = 180

x +115 = 180

Subtract 115 from both sides:

x = 65
