Look up the equation for it
The value of K for which f(x) is a valid probability density function is 1/4.
<h3>How to solve for the value of K</h3>
![K[\frac{2^2}{2} -0]+[K[4(4-2)-(\frac{4^2}{2} -\frac{2^2}{2} )]=1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K%5B%5Cfrac%7B2%5E2%7D%7B2%7D%20-0%5D%2B%5BK%5B4%284-2%29-%28%5Cfrac%7B4%5E2%7D%7B2%7D%20-%5Cfrac%7B2%5E2%7D%7B2%7D%20%29%5D%3D1)
open the equation
![K\frac{4}{2}+K[8 - (\frac{16}{2} -\frac{4}{2} )] = 1\\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K%5Cfrac%7B4%7D%7B2%7D%2BK%5B8%20-%20%28%5Cfrac%7B16%7D%7B2%7D%20%20-%5Cfrac%7B4%7D%7B2%7D%20%29%5D%20%3D%201%5C%5C)
![2K+K[\frac{4}{2} ]=1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2K%2BK%5B%5Cfrac%7B4%7D%7B2%7D%20%5D%3D1)
2K + 2K = 1
4K = 1
divide through by 4
K = 1/4

21 because you have to have at least 1 side as 3m so the other two should be 9m to have the greatest possible length
The steps below are presented in order to arrive to the value of k of the given equation.
First, multiply both sides of the equation by the variable k since the left-hand side of the equation has it in the denominator. This will be,
(k + 12/ k)(k) = 8(k)
Then, we simplify,
k + 12 = 8k
We then, subtract 8k to both sides of the equation,
k - 8k + 12 = 8k - 8k
Simplifying,
-7k + 12 = 0
Then, subtract 12 from both sides of the equation and divide both sides by -7. This will us the final answer of,
k = 12/7
You do the sum(40) subtracted by 8, the answer from that divided by 2 since Erin's two times younger.
40-8=32
32÷2=16
Then if you want to check it you do the opposite and get the same sum(40) so 16×2=32 and 32+8=40
