A rectangle’s width is one-fourth of its length. Its area is 9 square units. The equation l(1/4l) = 9 can be used to find l, the

length of the rectangle.

I see no actual question, but I'm assuming that you want to find the dimensions of the rectangle.

In general, the area of a rectangle with width $w$ and length $l$ is

$A = wl$

In this case, we know that the width is one-fourth of its length, which means $w = \frac{1}{4}l$

If we plug this expression for w in the formula for the area, we get

$A = wl = \dfrac{1}{4}l\cdot l = \dfrac{1}{4}l^2$

We also know that the area is 9 squared units, so we have

$9 = \dfrac{1}{4}l^2$

If we multiply both sides by 4, we get

$l^2 = 36$

Consider the square root of both sides (we only accept the positive solution, since a negative length would make no sense:

$l = \sqrt{36} = 6$

So, the length is 6, and the width is one-fourth of 6, i.e.

$\dfrac{1}{4} \cdot 6 = \dfrac{6}{4} = \dfrac{3}{2} = 1.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 10 possibilities for the first time slot.

After that, there are 9 possibilities for the second time slot.

So on and so forth.

The number of ways five time slots can be assigned is:

10×9×8×7×6 = 30240

Or, using permutation notation, ₁₀P₅.

zlopas [31]

Answer:

c = 0.165

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

f(x, y) = cx y(1 + y) for 0 ≤ x ≤ 3 and 0 ≤ y ≤ 3,

f(x, y) = 0 otherwise.

Required:

The value of c

To find the value of c, we make use of the property of a joint probability distribution function which states that

$\int\limits^a_b \int\limits^a_b {f(x,y)} \, dy \, dx = 1$

where a and b represent -infinity to +infinity (in other words, the bound of the distribution)

By substituting cx y(1 + y) for f(x, y) and replacing a and b with their respective values, we have

$\int\limits^3_0 \int\limits^3_0 {cxy(1+y)} \, dy \, dx = 1$

Since c is a constant, we can bring it out of the integral sign; to give us

$c\int\limits^3_0 \int\limits^3_0 {xy(1+y)} \, dy \, dx = 1$

Open the bracket

$c\int\limits^3_0 \int\limits^3_0 {xy+xy^{2} } \, dy \, dx = 1$

Integrate with respect to y

$c\int\limits^3_0 {\frac{xy^{2}}{2} +\frac{xy^{3}}{3} } \, dx (0,3}) = 1$

Substitute 0 and 3 for y

$c\int\limits^3_0 {(\frac{x* 3^{2}}{2} +\frac{x * 3^{3}}{3} ) - (\frac{x* 0^{2}}{2} +\frac{x * 0^{3}}{3})} \, dx = 1$

$c\int\limits^3_0 {(\frac{x* 9}{2} +\frac{x * 27}{3} ) - (0 +0) \, dx = 1$

$c\int\limits^3_0 {(\frac{9x}{2} +\frac{27x}{3} ) \, dx = 1$

Add fraction

$c\int\limits^3_0 {(\frac{27x + 54x}{6}) \, dx = 1$

$c\int\limits^3_0 {\frac{81x}{6} \, dx = 1$

Rewrite;

$c\int\limits^3_0 (81x * \frac{1}{6}) \, dx = 1$

The $\frac{1}{6}$ is a constant, so it can be removed from the integral sign to give

$c * \frac{1}{6}\int\limits^3_0 (81x ) \, dx = 1$

$\frac{c}{6}\int\limits^3_0 (81x ) \, dx = 1$

Integrate with respect to x

$\frac{c}{6} * \frac{81x^{2}}{2} (0,3) = 1$

Substitute 0 and 3 for x

$\frac{c}{6} * \frac{81 * 3^{2} - 81 * 0^{2}}{2} = 1$

$\frac{c}{6} * \frac{81 * 9 - 0}{2} = 1$

$\frac{c}{6} * \frac{729}{2} = 1$

$\frac{729c}{12} = 1$

Multiply both sides by $\frac{12}{729}$

$c = \frac{12}{729}$

$c = 0.0165 (Approximately)$
