Answer:

\frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

You are going to integrate the following function:

g(x)=x*f(x)=x*xe^{-x^2}=x^2e^{-x^2}  (1)

furthermore, you know that:

\int_0^{\infty}e^{-x^2}=\frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{2}

lets call to this integral, the integral Io.

for a general form of I you have In:

I_n=\int_0^{\infty}x^ne^{-ax^2}dx

furthermore you use the fact that:

I_n=-\frac{\partial I_{n-2}}{\partial a}

by using this last expression in an iterative way you obtain the following:

\int_0^{\infty}x^{2s}e^{-ax^2}dx=\frac{(2s-1)!!}{2^{s+1}a^s}\sqrt{\frac{\pi}{a}} (2)

with n=2s a even number

for s=1 you have n=2, that is, the function g(x). By using the equation (2) (with a = 1) you finally obtain:

\int_0^{\infty}x^2e^{-x^2}dx=\frac{(2(1)-1)!}{2^{1+1}(1^1)}\sqrt{\pi}=\frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{4}

Answer:

\int^{\infty}_{0}xf(x)dx=\frac{\pi}{4}  

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the integrate of:

\int^{\infty}_{0}xf(x)dx

Let's use the integration by parts rule.

\int^{\infty}_{0}xf(x)dx=u*v-\int vdu (1)

u=x and du=dx

dv=f(x)dx and v=\int f(x)dx

f(x)=xe^{-x^{2}}

v=\int xe^{-x^{2}}dx if we use change variable we can solve it, we can do a=-x^{2} then da=-2xdx

So we have:

v=-\frac{1}{2}\int e^{a}da

v=-\frac{1}{2}e^{-x^{2}}

Using this in (1) we have:

\int^{\infty}_{0}xf(x)dx=(-\frac{1}{2}x*e^{-x^{2}})|^{\infty}_{0}-\int^{\infty}_{0} (-\frac{1}{2}e^{-x^{2}})dx

The used criteria to make the first term zero is because the exponential tends to zero faster than the x tends to infinity.    

\int^{\infty}_{0}xf(x)dx=0+\frac{1}{2}\int^{\infty}_{0} e^{-x^{2}}dx  

We know that the integral from 0 to infinity of e^{-x^{2}}=\frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{2}, hence:  \int^{\infty}_{0}xf(x)dx=0+\frac{1}{2}\frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{2}

\int^{\infty}_{0}xf(x)dx=\frac{\pi}{4}  

I hope it helps you!

Answer:

85/2 or 42.5 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

A = l x w

A = 7.5 (5 2/3)

= 15/2 (17/3)

= 255/6

= 85/2 ft² or 42.5 ft²

Which line graph correctly reflects the information in the frequency table?
bekas [8.4K]
<h3>Answer: Choice B</h3>

Explanation:

You can use Excel to make the graph, but other free options work just fine. I used LibreOffice to make the graph shown below.

Each point on the line graph represents a frequency for a given time value. The first point being 4 units high, means there were 4 customers at 8:00 AM. Then there were 6 customers at 9:00 AM, meaning the next dot has a height of 6. And so on.

The graph shown below matches with choice B.

Which of the following correlation coefficients would represent the strongest correlation? -0.9 -0.16 0.04 .78
kolezko [41]

Answer:

0.4 would represent the strongest correlation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally, a value of r greater than 0.7 is considered a strong correlation. Anything between 0.5 and 0.7 is a moderate correlation, and anything less than 0.4 is considered a weak or no correlation

Answer:

y = -\frac{5}{3} x -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The line is going down to the right so it has the negative slope, with a y- intercept of (0, -2) and a slope of m = rise/run = -5/3
