1.5 minutes = 90 second

The probability density function is

f_X(x)=\begin{cases}\dfrac1{200-30}=\dfrac1{170}&\text{for }30\le x\le200\\\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}

so the probability of interest is

\mathbb P(X>90)=\displaystyle\int_{90}^\infty f_X(x)\,\mathrm dx
\mathbb P(X>90)=\dfrac1{170}\displaystyle\int_{90}^{200}\mathrm dx
\mathbb P(X>90)=\dfrac{200-90}{170}=\dfrac{11}{17}\approx0.6471

Explain why all squares must be rectangles but not all rectangles are squares
Neko [114]
A square is a quadrilateral with all four angles right angles and all four sides of the same length. ... Thus every square is a rectangle because it is a quadrilateral with all four angles right angles. However not every rectangle is a square, to be a square its sides must have the same length.

Which of the following are solutions to the equation below? Check all that apply. 4x2 + 4x + 1 = 9​
Vilka [71]

Answer:

4x^2 + 4x + 1=9

4x^2 + 4x - 8=0

Dividing both sides by 4

x^2 + x -2=0

It can be written as

x^2 + 2x - x - 2=0

x(x+2) -1(x+2)=0

taking (x+2) as common on LHS

Then, (x+2)(x-1)=0

Now first equate x+2=0  ie x=-2

then                 x-1=0 ie x=1

Therefore, x has two values(roots)

that is -2,1

flvs hope If $x^2+bx+16$ has at least one real root, find all possible values of $b$. Express your answer in interval notation.
Galina-37 [17]
If x^2+bx+16 has at least one real root, then the equation x^2+bx+16=0 has at least one solution. The discriminant of a quadratic equation is b^2-4ac and it determines the nature of the roots. If the discriminant is zero, there is exactly one distinct real root. If the discriminant is positive, there are exactly two roots. The discriminant of <span>x^2+bx+16=0 is b^2-4(1)(16). The inequality here gives the values of b where the discriminant will be positive or zero:
                                           b^2-4(1)(16) ≥ 0
                                                  </span><span>b^2-64 ≥ 0
                                             (b+8)(b-8) </span><span>≥ 0
The answer is that all possible values of b are in the interval (-inf, -8]∪[8,inf) because those are the intervals where </span>(b+8)(b-8) is positive.
