Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct variation can be modeled by y = kx where k is the constant of variation!

So to solve for k all we need to do is substitute in the value for y and x that are given.

So according to the problem y = 24 when x = 6

24 = 6k

Divide both sides by 6

k = 4

So the constant of variation is 4

The direct variation equation would then be

y = 4x

Find the probability of at least three successes in six trials of a binomial experiment in which the probability of success is 5

Amanda [17]

Answer:

31.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by doing the binomial expansion of (x+y)^6 where x represents success. This is

(x^6y^0) + 6(x^5y^1) +15(x^4y^2) +20(x^3y^3) +15(x^2y^4) +6(x^1y^5) +(x^0y^6)

We are interested in the x^3y^3 term which represents exactly 3 successes. Since the probability of success and failure are both .5 we should be able to figure this out just using the coefficients of the terms which is

20/64 = .3125 which is 31.25% Rounding yo the nearest tenth gives us

Rewrite in Polar Form.... x^(2)+y^(2)-6y-8=0

skad [1K]

$\bf x^2+y^2-6y-8=0\qquad 
\begin{cases}
x^2+y^2=r^2\\\\
y=rsin(\theta)
\end{cases}\implies r^2-6rsin(\theta)=8
\\\\\\
\textit{now, we do some grouping}\implies [r^2-6rsin(\theta)]=8
\\\\\\\
[r^2-6rsin(\theta)+\boxed{?}^2]=8\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
\textit{so we need a value there to make}\\
\textit{a perfect square trinomial}
\end{array}$

$\bf 6rsin(\theta)\iff 2\cdot r\cdot \boxed{3\cdot sin(\theta)}\impliedby \textit{so there}
\\\\\\
\textit{now, bear in mind we're just borrowing from zero, 0}
\\\\
\textit{so if we add, \underline{whatever}, we also have to subtract \underline{whatever}}$

$\bf [r^2-6rsin(\theta)\underline{+[3sin(\theta)]^2}]\quad \underline{-[3sin(\theta)]^2}=8\\\\
\left. \qquad \right.\uparrow \\
\textit{so-called "completing the square"}
\\\\\\\
[r-3sin(\theta)]^2=8+[3sin(\theta)]^2\implies [r-3sin(\theta)]^2=8+9sin^2(\theta)
\\\\\\
r-3sin(\theta)=\sqrt{8+9sin^2(\theta)}\implies r=\sqrt{8+9sin^2(\theta)}+3sin(\theta)$
