In a right triangle:
α + β = 90°
α = 5/4 β 
------------------
5/4 β + β = 90°
9/4 β = 90°
β = 90° : 9/4 = 90° · 4/9 = 40°
α = 90° - 40° = 50°
Answer:
The measure of the larger acute angle is 50°.

"the life length x (in years) of a dvd player" is exponentially distributed with mean 5 years. what is the probability that a mo
loris [4]
The exponential distribution is:
\lambda e^{- \lambda x}
where \lambda = \frac{1}{mean}=\frac{1}{5}

The probability we want is how likely will a dvd player last more than 8 years, given it has already lasted 5 years
To find this, you use conditional probability.
P(A|B) = \frac{P(A and B)}{P(B)}
where A is P(x>8) and B is P(x>5)
To find these probabilities, integrate over the distribution:
P(x \ \textgreater \ N) = \int_N^{\infty} \frac{1}{5} e^{-x/5} dx = e^{-N/5}

Sub into conditional probability formula:

P(x \ \textgreater \ 8 | x\ \textgreater \ 5) = \frac{P(x\ \textgreater \ 8)}{P(x\ \textgreater \ 5)} = \frac{e^{-8/5}}{e^{-5/5}} = e^{-3/5} = 0.549

Final Answer: Given a dvd player is more than 5 years old, the probability that it will last another 3 more years is about 54.9%

Solve the following equation: <br>(n + 1) + 3(n - 1) = 2(n - 1)(n + 1)​
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

n = 0, n =2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(n + 1) + 3(n - 1) = 2(n - 1)(n + 1) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

n + 1 + 3n - 3 = 2(n² - 1), that is

4n - 2 = 2n² - 2 ( subtract 4n - 2 from both sides )

0 = 2n² - 4n ← factor out 2n from each term )

0 = 2n(n - 2)

Equate each factor to zero and solve for n

2n = 0 ⇒ n = 0

n - 2 = 0 ⇒ n = 2
