I must assume that you meant 2x - 3y = 9.

A line parallel to this line has exactly the same format, but a different constant on the right: 2x - 3y = c. Substituting the given values of x and y, we get:

2(4) - 3(-1) = 8+3 = 11. Thus, c = 11, and the equation of the new parallel line is

11 - 2x

2x - 3y = 11. Solving for y, -3y = 11 - 2x, or y = -------------

-3

so the slope of the parallel lilnes is 2/3.

A line perpendicular to the given line has a slope which is the negative reciprocal of 2/3: -3/2.

This perpendicular line has the equation

y + 1 = (-3/2)(x-4) (point-slope form), or

2y + 2 = -3(x-4) = -3x + 12. Then 2y = -3x + 12, and y = (-3/2)x + 6 (the perpendicular line's equation)

In a right triangle where one of the angles measure 30° what is the ratio of the length of the side opposite the 30°angle to the
kifflom [539]

Answer:

The ratio of the length of the side opposite the 30°angle to the length of the side opposite the 90°angle is 1:2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider ABC, With 90° angle at B and 30° angle at C.

To find: AB:AC=?

Solution:

AB = perpendicular of the right angled triangle

AC = Hypotenuse of the triangle

Sin\theta =\frac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}

sin\theta =Sin 30^o=\frac{AB}{AC},(Sin 30^o=\frac{1}{2})

\frac{1}{2}=\frac{AB}{AC}

The ratio of the sides ,AB:AC = 1:2.

Hence,the ratio of the length of the side opposite the 30°angle to the length of the side opposite the 90°angle is 1:2.

An electronic product contains 40 integrated circuits. The probability that any integrated circuit is defective is 0.01, and the
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

There is a 33.10% probability that there is at least one defective integrated circuit.

Step-by-step explanation:

For either integrated circuit, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are defective, or they are not. This means that we can solve this problem using the binomial probability distribution.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And \pi is the probability of X happening.

In this problem

The electonic product contains 40 integrated circuits, so n = 40.

The probability that any integrated circuit is defective is 0.01, so \pi = 0.01

What is the probability that there is at least one defective integrated circuit?

Either there is at least one defective integrated circuit, that is probability P(X > 0), or there are no defective integrated circuits, that is probability P(X = 0). The sum of these probabilities is decimal 1. We want to find P(X>0).

P(X > 0) + P(X = 0) = 1

P(X > 0) = 1 - P(X = 0)

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{40,0}.(0.01)^{0}.(0.99)^{40} = 0.6690

P(X > 0) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.6690 = 0.3310

There is a 33.10% probability that there is at least one defective integrated circuit.
