Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is (-6, 5) for K.

In order to find this, we must first note that to find a midpoint we need to take the average of the endpoints. To do this we add them together and then divide by 2. So, using that, we can write a formula and solve for each part of the k coordinates. We'll start with just x values.

(Kx + Lx)/2 = Mx

(Kx + 8)/2 = 1

Kx + 8 = 2

Kx = -6

And now we do the same thing for y values

(Ky + Ly)/2 = My

(Ky + -7)/2 = -1

Ky + -7 = -2

Ky = 5

This gives us the final point of (-6, 5)

Solve the equation x^5-4x^4+4x^3+2x^2-5x+2=0

sergejj [24]

Answer:

x = 2 or x = 1 or x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x over the real numbers:

x^5 - 4 x^4 + 4 x^3 + 2 x^2 - 5 x + 2 = 0

The left hand side factors into a product with three terms:

(x - 2) (x - 1)^3 (x + 1) = 0

Split into three equations:

x - 2 = 0 or (x - 1)^3 = 0 or x + 1 = 0

Add 2 to both sides:

x = 2 or (x - 1)^3 = 0 or x + 1 = 0

Take cube roots of both sides:

x = 2 or x - 1 = 0 or x + 1 = 0

Add 1 to both sides:

x = 2 or x = 1 or x + 1 = 0

Subtract 1 from both sides:

Answer: x = 2 or x = 1 or x = -1

In the year 2000, a house was valued at $60 000.

Ne4ueva [31]

The percentage by which the cost is increasing will be 75%.

<h3>What is the percentage?</h3>

The quantity of anything is stated as though it were a fraction of a hundred. A fraction of 100 can be used to express the ratio.

The percentage of the 8th graders who want to go to the water slides is found from;

In the year 2000, a house was valued at $60 000.

In 2010, the same house was valued at $80 000.

The percentage value is found as;

$\% = \frac{60000}{80000} \times 100 \\\\ \% =75 \%$

Hence the percentage by which the cost is increasing will be 75%.

(4.1.4) Let X and Y be Bernoulli random variables. Let Z = X + Y. a. Show that if X and Y cannot both be equal to 1, then Z is a

Fynjy0 [20]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

X ~ Bernoulli $(p_x)$ and Y ~ Bernoulli $(y_x)$

X + Y = Z

The possible value for Z are Z = 0 when X = 0 and Y = 0

and Z = 1 when X = 0 and Y = 1 or when X = 1 and Y = 0

If X and Y can not be both equal to 1 , then the probability mass function of the random variable Z takes on the value of 0 for any value of Z other than 0 and 1,

Therefore Z is a Bernoulli random variable

If X and Y can not be both equal to 1

then,

$p_z = P(X=1$ or $Y=1)\\$

$p_z = P(X=1)+P(Y=1)-P(=1$ and $Y =1)$

$p_z = P(x=1)+P(Y=1)\\\\p_z=p_x+p_y$

If both X = 1 and Y = 1 then Z = 2

The possible values of the random variable Z are 0, 1 and 2.

since a Bernoulli variable should be take on only values 0 and 1 the random variable Z does not have Bernoulli distribution

A kangaroo hops 2 kilometers in 3 minutes. At this rate, how far does the kangaroo travel in 2 minutes? *

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

At a speed of 2 km every 3 minutes, in 2 minutes the kangaroo would travel 1,333 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a kangaroo hops 2 kilometers in 3 minutes, to calculate how much distance this animal hops in 2 minutes, the following calculation should be performed:

2 km / 3 min = 0.666 km per minute (2/3 x 2)

0.666 km per minute x 2 minutes = 1.333 kilometers in 2 minutes (0.666 x 2)

Therefore, at a speed of 2 km every 3 minutes, in 2 minutes the kangaroo would hop 1,333 km.
