Answer:

The solution is x=4.75 and y = -22

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the solution to the system of equations, we will follow the steps below:

3.2x + 0.5y = 4.2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------(1)

-1.6x -0.5y = 3.4 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------(2)

add equation (1) and equation (2)

1.6x =7.6

Divide both-side of the equation by 1.6 to get the value of x

1.6x /1.6 =7.6/1.6

x =4.75

substitute x = 4.75 into equation (1) and solve for y

3.2(4.75) + 0.5y = 4.2

15.2 + 0.5y = 4.2

subtract 15.2 from both-side of the equation

15.2 - 15.2 + 0.5y = 4.2-15.2

0.5y = -11

Divide both-side of the equation by 0.5

0.5y/0.5 = -11/0.5

y = -22

The solution is x=4.75 and y = -22

Suppose that the distance, in miles, that people are willing to commute to work is an exponential random variable with a decay p

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

m = $\frac{1}{20}$
μ = 20
σ = 20

The probability that a person is willing to commute more than 25 miles is 0.2865.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential probability distribution is used to define the probability distribution of the amount of time until some specific event takes place.

A random variable X follows an exponential distribution with parameter m.

The decay parameter is, m.

The probability distribution function of an Exponential distribution is:

$f(x)=me^{-mx}\ ;\ m>0, x>0$

Given: The decay parameter is, $\frac{1}{20}$

X is defined as the distance people are willing to commute in miles.

The decay parameter is m = $\frac{1}{20}$ .
The mean of the distribution is: $\mu=\frac{1}{m}=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{20}}=20$ .
The standard deviation is: $\sigma=\sqrt{variance}= \sqrt{\frac{1}{(m)^{2}} } =\frac{1}{m} =\frac{1}{\frac{1}{20}} =20$

Compute the probability that a person is willing to commute more than 25 miles as follows:

$P(X>25)=\int\limits^{\infty}_{25} {\frac{1}{20} e^{-\frac{1}{20}x}} \, dx \\=\frac{1}{20}|20e^{-\frac{1}{20}x}|^{\infty}_{25}\\=|e^{-\frac{1}{20}x}|^{\infty}_{25}\\=e^{-\frac{1}{20}\times25}\\=0.2865$

Thus, the probability that a person is willing to commute more than 25 miles is 0.2865.

*In ∆ABC, on the extension of the side BC , draw a line segment CD ≅ CA . Draw the segment AD . The line segment CE is the angle

Leya [2.2K]

CE ⊥ CF because m∠ECA + m∠FCA = 90°

Step-by-step explanation:

In ∆ABC

On the extension of the side BC , draw a line segment CD ≅ CA
Draw the segment AD
The line segment CE is the angle bisector of ∠ACB
The line segment CF is the median towards AD in ∆ ACD

We want to prove that CF ⊥ CE

Look to the attached figure

In Δ ABC

∵ CE is the bisector of angle ACB

∴ ∠ACE ≅ ∠BCE

In Δ ACD

∵ CA = CD

∴ Δ ACD is an isosceles triangle

∵ AD is the median towards AD

- In any isosceles triangle the median from a vertex to its opposite

side bisects this vertex

∴ AD bisects ∠ACD

∴ ∠ACF ≅ ∠DCF

∵ BCD is a straight segment

∵ CE , CA , CF are drawn from point C

∴ m∠BCE + m∠ACE + m∠ACF + m∠DCF = 180°

∵ m∠ACE ≅ m∠BCE

∵ m∠ACF ≅ m∠DCF

- Replace m∠BCE by m∠ACE and m∠DCF by m∠ACF

∴ m∠ACE + m∠ACE + m∠ACF + m∠ACF = 180°

∴ 2 m∠ACE + 2 m∠ACF = 180°

- Divide all terms by 2

∴ m∠ACE + m∠ACF = 90°

∴ EC ⊥ CF

CE ⊥ CF because m∠ECA + m∠FCA = 90°

Answer:

Answer choice A

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first letter, there are 26 options, as there are for the second and third letter. For each of the three numbers, there are 10 digits to choose from. Therefore, 26*26*26*10*10*10=17,576,000, or answer choice A. Hope this helps!
