Two points are selected randomly on a line of length L so as to be on opposite sides of the midpoint of the line. [In other word

s, the two points X and Y are independent random variables such that X is uniformly distributed over (0, L/2) and Y is uniformly distributed over (L/2, L).] Find the probability that the distance between the two points is greater than L/3.

Answer:

P(Y-X>L/3)=7/9

Step-by-step explanation:

We know  that  X is uniformly distributed over (0, L/2) and Y is uniformly distributed over (L/2, L).

We know that:

f(x,y)=f(x)·f(y)=\frac{1}{L/2}·\frac{1}{L/2}=4/L²

Therefore, the probability is  

P(Y-X>L/3)=∫∫ f(x,y) dx dy

P(Y-X>L/3)=∫∫ 4/L²   dx dy

We conclude that is  

P(Y-X>L/3)=1-P(Y-X≤L/3)

We know  that for the region  (0, L/2)x(L/2, L) where is satisfied Y-X≤L/3

is a right triangle with bases x∈(L/6, L/2) and y∈(L/2, 5L/6).

We calculate the area of that triangle:

p=1/2 · (L/3)²= L²/18

Now, we have

P(Y-X≤L/3)=4/L² ·  L²/18=4/18=2/9

Therefore, the probability is    

P(Y-X>L/3)=1-P(Y-X≤L/3)=1 - 2/9

P(Y-X>L/3)=7/9

Question 5 (25. pts)
Pie

Answer:

No matter where the center of rotation is located on the coordinate plane, each point in the preimage is the same distance from the point of rotation as its corresponding point in the rotated images. This distance is not affected by changing the location of P. Although this investigation covered vertices only, it's clear that any point on a shape or figure will be affected similarly.

How do you write a quadratic equation in standard form?
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

  • Powers of the variable descending left to right
  • right side of the equal sign is 0

Step-by-step explanation:

For some constants a, b, and c, the standard form* is ...

  ax^2 + bx + c = 0

___

It is nice if the leading coefficient (a) is positive, but that is not required.

The main ideas are that ...

  • Powers of the variable are descending
  • All of the non-zero terms are on the left side of the equal sign
  • Like terms are combined

_____

* This is the <em>standard form</em> for a quadratic. For other kinds of equations, when the expression is equal to zero, this would be called "general form."
