You know how decimals are really long to write, like 0.00000000089? Well, with scientific notation, you can shorten them. Take the decimal I wrote for instance. Using scientific notation, I can change it to 8.9 * 10^-10. The decimal is shortened, and according to the exponent, 10^-10, we move the decimal place for 8.9 to the left ten places, leaving us with 0.00000000089.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that you choose at random a real number X from the interval [2, 10].
a) Since this is a contnuous interval with all number in between equally likely
E = probability for choosing a real number is U(2,10)
pdf of E is 
b) P(X>5) = 

For

P(X<5 or x>7) = 1-P(5<x<7)
= 
Answer:

With the vertex 
We see that b = -10 and a = 2 and then the vertes wuld be:

And the best option is:
b. (-10,2)
Step-by-step explanation:
For this problem we have the following function:

And if we compare this expression with the general expression for a parabola given by:

With the vertex 
We see that b = -10 and a = 2 and then the vertes wuld be:

And the best option is:
b. (-10,2)
The answer to the question
f(5) = 0.5^(5-1)*f(1) = 0.5^4 * 120 = 7.5
