Write the opposite of -1/2 explain

If 1/√a-√b=1/3 and 1/√a+√b=1/2, then find the difference of a and b.

kow [346]

<u>ANSWER:</u>

If $\frac{1}{\sqrt{a}-\sqrt{b}}=\frac{1}{3}$ and $\frac{1}{\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b}}=\frac{1}{2}$ then the difference of a and b is 6

<u>SOLUTION:</u>

Given, $\frac{1}{\sqrt{a}-\sqrt{b}}=\frac{1}{3}$ → $\sqrt{a}-\sqrt{b}=3$ ----- (1)

And $\frac{1}{\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b}}=\frac{1}{2}$ → $\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b}=2$ --- (2)

We have to find difference of a and b.

Now, add (1) and (2)

$\sqrt{a}-\sqrt{b}=3$

$\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b}=2$

Adding above two equations, we get,

$2 \sqrt{a}+0=2+3$

$\begin{array}{l}{2 \sqrt{a}=5} \\\\ {\sqrt{a}=\frac{5}{2}} \\\\ {a=\frac{25}{4}}\end{array}$

substitute $\sqrt{a}$ value in (2)

$\begin{array}{l}{\frac{5}{2}+\sqrt{b}=2} \\\\ {\sqrt{b}=\frac{2}{\sin \frac{5}{2}}} \\\\ {\sqrt{b}=\frac{4-5}{2}} \\\\ {\sqrt{b}=\frac{-1}{2}} \\\\ {b=\frac{1}{4}}\end{array}$

Now, difference of a and b is a – b = $\frac{25}{4}-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{24}{4}=6$

Hence, the difference of a and b is 6.

For an analysis of variance comparing three treatment means, H0 states that all three population means are the same and H1 state

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The analysis of variance may be described as an hypothesis test which is used to make comparison between variables of two or more independent groups. The null hypothesis is always of the notion that there is no difference in the means. While the alternative hypothesis is the opposite, for two independent groups, the alternative hypothesis is that both means are different, or not equal or not the same. However. When we have more than 2 independent groups, then the alternative hypothesis is stated as : 'the means are not all equal'. This means that the means of each group does not all have to be different, but the mean of one group may be different from that of the other groups or the mean of two groups are different from the other groups and so on.

So firstly, this function is asking us to divide f(x) by g(x) so let's set that up as such:

$(\frac{f}{g})(x)=\frac{x^2-x-6}{1}\div \frac{x-3}{x+2}$

Next, remember that <u>dividing by a number is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal.</u> To find the reciprocal of a number, flip the numerator and denominator around. With this info, flip the second fraction to it's reciprocal and change the sign to multiplication:

$(\frac{f}{g})(x)=\frac{x^2-x-6}{1}\times \frac{x+2}{x-3}$

Next, we are going to factor x² - x - 6. Firstly, what two terms have a product of -6x² and a sum of -x? That would be -3x and 2x. Replace -x with 2x - 3x:

$(\frac{f}{g})(x)=\frac{x^2+2x-3x-6}{1}\times \frac{x+2}{x-3}$

Next, factor x² + 2x and -3x - 6 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity on the inside of the parentheses:

$(\frac{f}{g})(x)=\frac{x(x+2)-3(x+2)}{1}\times \frac{x+2}{x-3}$

Now you can rewrite it as:

$(\frac{f}{g})(x)=\frac{(x-3)(x+2)}{1}\times \frac{x+2}{x-3}$

Next, multiply:

$(\frac{f}{g})(x)=\frac{(x-3)(x+2)^2}{x-3}$

Next, divide:

$(\frac{f}{g})(x)=(x+2)^2$

And lastly, simplify:

A good tip: $(x+y)^2=x^2+2xy+y^2$

$(\frac{f}{g})(x)=x^2+4x+4$

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The correct option is C. x² + 4x + 4.</u>

Suppose there are 4 defective batteries in a drawer with 10 batteries in it. A sample of 3 is taken at random without replacemen

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

a.) 0.5

b.) 0.66

c.) 0.83

Step-by-step explanation:

As given,

Total Number of Batteries in the drawer = 10

Total Number of defective Batteries in the drawer = 4

⇒Total Number of non - defective Batteries in the drawer = 10 - 4 = 6

Now,

As, a sample of 3 is taken at random without replacement.

a.)

Getting exactly one defective battery means -

1 - from defective battery

2 - from non-defective battery

So,

Getting exactly 1 defective battery = ⁴C₁ × ⁶C₂ = $\frac{4!}{1! (4 - 1 )!}$ × $\frac{6!}{2! (6 - 2 )!}$

= $\frac{4!}{(3)!}$ × $\frac{6!}{2! (4)!}$

= $\frac{4.3!}{(3)!}$ × $\frac{6.5.4!}{2! (4)!}$

= $4$ × $\frac{6.5}{2.1! }$

= $4$ × $15$ = 60

Total Number of possibility = ¹⁰C₃ = $\frac{10!}{3! (10-3)!}$

= $\frac{10!}{3! (7)!}$

= $\frac{10.9.8.7!}{3! (7)!}$

= $\frac{10.9.8}{3.2.1!}$

= 120

So, probability = $\frac{60}{120} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5$

b.)

at most one defective battery :

⇒either the defective battery is 1 or 0

If the defective battery is 1 , then 2 non defective

Possibility = ⁴C₁ × ⁶C₂ = 60

If the defective battery is 0 , then 3 non defective

Possibility = ⁴C₀ × ⁶C₃

= $\frac{4!}{0! (4 - 0)!}$ × $\frac{6!}{3! (6 - 3)!}$

= $\frac{4!}{(4)!}$ × $\frac{6!}{3! (3)!}$

= 1 × $\frac{6.5.4.3!}{3.2.1! (3)!}$

= 1× $\frac{6.5.4}{3.2.1! }$

= 1 × 20 = 20

getting at most 1 defective battery = 60 + 20 = 80

Probability = $\frac{80}{120} = \frac{8}{12} = 0.66$

c.)

at least one defective battery :

⇒either the defective battery is 1 or 2 or 3

If the defective battery is 1 , then 2 non defective

Possibility = ⁴C₁ × ⁶C₂ = 60

If the defective battery is 2 , then 1 non defective

Possibility = ⁴C₂ × ⁶C₁

= $\frac{4!}{2! (4 - 2)!}$ × $\frac{6!}{1! (6 - 1)!}$

= $\frac{4!}{2! (2)!}$ × $\frac{6!}{1! (5)!}$

= $\frac{4.3.2!}{2! (2)!}$ × $\frac{6.5!}{1! (5)!}$

= $\frac{4.3}{2.1!}$ × $\frac{6}{1}$

= 6 × 6 = 36

If the defective battery is 3 , then 0 non defective

Possibility = ⁴C₃ × ⁶C₀

= $\frac{4!}{3! (4 - 3)!}$ × $\frac{6!}{0! (6 - 0)!}$

= $\frac{4!}{3! (1)!}$ × $\frac{6!}{(6)!}$

= $\frac{4.3!}{3!}$ × 1

= 4×1 = 4

getting at most 1 defective battery = 60 + 36 + 4 = 100

Probability = $\frac{100}{120} = \frac{10}{12} = 0.83$
