Longer leg = x + 4
Shorter leg = x
Hypotenuse = x + 8
Using Pythagorean Theorem:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(x + 4)^2 + x^2 = (x + 8)^2
x^2 + 8x + 16 + x^2 = x^2 + 16x + 64
2x^2 + 8x + 16 = x^2 + 16x + 64
2x^2 +8x = x^2 + 16x + 48
2x^2 - 8x = x^2 + 48
x^2 - 8x = 48
x^2 - 8x - 48 = 0
You can complete the square from here or use the quadratic formula.
Completing the square:
x^2 - 8x = 48
x^2 - 8x + (-8/2)^2 = 48 + (-8/2)^2
x^2 - 8x + 16 = 48 + 16
(x - 4)(x - 4) = 64 or (x - 4)^2 = 64
x - 4 = +√64 OR x - 4 = -√64
x - 4 = +8 OR x - 4 = -8
x = 12 OR x = -4
However, you can't use negative 4 as a length because your length needs to be a positive.
So x will be 12.
Shorter leg: 12
Longer leg: 12 + 4
Hypotenuse: 12 + 8
Answer:
a) 33.33%)
b) 135 minutes
c) 8.66 min
d) 50%
Step-by-step explanation:
a) the probability for a uniform distribution is
P(b<X<a) = (a-b)/(c-d) , where c and d are the maximum and minimum values
therefore the probability that the flight is more than 140 minutes ( and less than 150 since it is the maximum value)
P(140<X<150) = (a-b)/(c-d) = (150-140)/(150-120) = 10/30 = 1/3 (33.33%)
b) the mean (expected value) for a uniform probability distribution is
E(X) = (c+d)/2 = (120+150)/2 = 135 minutes
c) the standard deviation for a uniform probability distribution is
σ²(X)= (c-d)²/12 = (150-120)²/12 = 75 min²
σ = √75 min² = 8.66 min
b) following the same procedure as in a)
P(120<X<135) = (a-b)/(c-d) = (135-120)/(150-120) = 15/30 = 1/2 (50%)
Answer:
They are the same.
Step-by-step explanation:
The graphs are same because <em>x</em>² is always positive, so the absolute value part is redundant.
The answer is D if you combine like terms
