STatiana [176]2 years ago

ANSWER: x=5/3, -1. Good luck. Hope this suffices.

Explanation for x=-1: |9x-3|=12. Lets take the absolute value brackets away for a sec. Add 3 to both sides 9x-3+3=-12+3, simplify: 9x=-9, divide both sides by nine:9x/9=-9/9. And that means that x=-1.

Explanation for x=5/3: |9x-3|=12. Add 3. 9x-3+3=12+3. Simplify: 9x=15. Divide both sides by 9. 9x/9=15/9. Simplify: x=5/3

<u>Trigonometry</u>

[Right Triangles Only] Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

  • a is a leg
  • b is another leg
  • c is the hypotenuse

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Identify</u>

<em>a</em> = x + 3

<em>b</em> = x

<em>c</em> = √117

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Substitute [PT]:                                                                                                (x + 3)² + x² = (√117)²
  2. Expand [FOIL]:                                                                                                 x² + 6x + 9 + x² = (√117)²
  3. Combine like terms:                                                                                       2x² + 6x + 9 = (√117)²
  4. Exponents:                                                                                                      2x² + 6x + 9 = 117
  5. [SPE] Subtract 117 on both sides:                                                                    2x² + 6x - 108 = 0
  6. Factor out GCF:                                                                                               2(x² + 3x - 54) = 0
  7. [DPE] Divide 2 on both sides:                                                                         x² + 3x - 54 = 0
  8. Factor Quadratic:                                                                                            (x - 6)(x + 9) = 0
  9. Solve roots/solve <em>x</em>:                                                                                         x = -9, 6

Since we are dealing with positive values, we can disregard the negative root.

∴ x = 6

Suppose when a baseball player gets a hit, a single is twice as likely as a double which is twice as likely as a triple which is
rjkz [21]

Answer:

The PMF of B is given by

P(B=0) = 0.7

P(B=1) = 0.16

P(B=2) = 0.08

P(B=3) = 0.04

P(B=4) = 0.02

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denote P(B=1), we know that

P(B=0) = 1-0.3 = 0.7

P(B=1) = x

P(B=2) = x/2

P(B=3) = x/4

P(B=4) = x/8

Also, the probabilities should sum 1, thus

0.7+x+x/2+x/4+x/8 = 1

15x/8 = 0.3

x = 0.16

As a result, the PMF of B is given by

P(B=0) = 0.7

P(B=1) = 0.16

P(B=2) = 0.08

P(B=3) = 0.04

P(B=4) = 0.02

Which sketch shows the inverse of y=a x where a is greater than 1?
Dahasolnce [82]
Answer: The answer would be a line that is not as steep and a reflection in the line y = x.

If the a value in the equation is greater than 1, we will have a line that is steeper than the line y = x.  

Now, we we take the inverse of the line, it will have a slope that is lower than y = x.

The graphs will be reflected in the line y = x.

Try graphing y = 3x and 3y = x.
