Find the two intersection points
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Our two intersection points are:

\displaystyle (3, -2) \text{ and } \left(-\frac{53}{25}, \frac{46}{25}\right)

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find where the two graphs given by the equations:

\displaystyle (x+1)^2+(y+2)^2 = 16\text{ and } 3x+4y=1

Intersect.

When they intersect, their <em>x-</em> and <em>y-</em>values are equivalent. So, we can solve one equation for <em>y</em> and substitute it into the other and solve for <em>x</em>.

Since the linear equation is easier to solve, solve it for <em>y: </em>

<em />\displaystyle y = -\frac{3}{4} x + \frac{1}{4}<em />

<em />

Substitute this into the first equation:

\displaystyle (x+1)^2 + \left(\left(-\frac{3}{4}x + \frac{1}{4}\right) +2\right)^2 = 16

Simplify:

\displaystyle (x+1)^2 + \left(-\frac{3}{4} x  + \frac{9}{4}\right)^2 = 16

Square. We can use the perfect square trinomial pattern:

\displaystyle \underbrace{(x^2 + 2x+1)}_{(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2} + \underbrace{\left(\frac{9}{16}x^2-\frac{27}{8}x+\frac{81}{16}\right)}_{(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2} = 16

Multiply both sides by 16:

(16x^2+32x+16)+(9x^2-54x+81) = 256

Combine like terms:

25x^2+-22x+97=256

Isolate the equation:

\displaystyle 25x^2 - 22x -159=0

We can use the quadratic formula:

\displaystyle x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

In this case, <em>a</em> = 25, <em>b</em> = -22, and <em>c</em> = -159. Substitute:

\displaystyle x = \frac{-(-22)\pm\sqrt{(-22)^2-4(25)(-159)}}{2(25)}

Evaluate:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} x &= \frac{22\pm\sqrt{16384}}{50} \\ \\ &= \frac{22\pm 128}{50}\\ \\ &=\frac{11\pm 64}{25}\end{aligned}

Hence, our two solutions are:

\displaystyle x_1 = \frac{11+64}{25} = 3\text{ and } x_2 = \frac{11-64}{25} =-\frac{53}{25}

We have our two <em>x-</em>coordinates.

To find the <em>y-</em>coordinates, we can simply substitute it into the linear equation and evaluate. Thus:

\displaystyle y_1 = -\frac{3}{4}(3)+\frac{1}{4} = -2

And:

\displaystyle y _2 = -\frac{3}{4}\left(-\frac{53}{25}\right) +\frac{1}{4} = \frac{46}{25}

Thus, our two intersection points are:

\displaystyle (3, -2) \text{ and } \left(-\frac{53}{25}, \frac{46}{25}\right)

Thirteen people on a softball team show up for a game.a) How many ways are there to choose 10 players to take the field?b) How m
dangina [55]

Answer:

Total number of people = 13

A:

Number of ways to choose 10 players to take the field = 13C10

= \frac{13!}{10!3!}

= 286

B:

This is given as: 13P10

= \frac{13!}{(13-10)!} = \frac{13!}{3!}

= 1037836800

C:

This is given as:

(3C1 x 10C9) + (3C2 x 10C8) + (3C3 x 10C7)

Solving this we get the answer as = 285

Determine the mean and variance of the random variable with the following probability mass function. f(x) = (216/43)(1/6)^x, x =
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

The mean of function provided is 1.186.

The variance of the provided f(x) is 0.198

Step-by-step explanation:

It is provided that the probability mass function is,

f(x)= (214/43)×(1/6)ˣ; x=1,2,3

The mean is calculated as,

E(X)=∑  x × f(x)

        x

=1×(216/43)×(1/6)¹ + 2 × (216/43)×(1/6)² × 3 × (216/43)×(1/6)³

=36/43 + 12/43  +3/43

​  =1.186

​  

The mean of function provided is 1.186

Explanation | Common mistakes | Hint for next step

The expected value of the probability mass function,f(x)= (216/43×(1/6)ˣ

 is 1.1861.186 .

Step 2 of 2

To calculate the variance, first calculate  E(X²)=∑ x² × f(x)

= 1² ×(216/43) × (1/6)¹ + 2² × (216/43) × (1/6)² × 3² × (216/43) ×(1/6)³

=36/43 +24/43 +9/43

=1.605

​  

The variance is calculated as,

V(X) =E(X²) - [E(X)]²

=1.605 -(1.186)²

= 0.198

The variance of the provided f(x) is 0.198

Explanation | Common mistakes

The variance of function f(x)=(216/43) × (1/6)ˣ ; x =1,2,3 is 0.198
