Let x be the total number of students.

We know that 7/8x chose music over art.

5/7 of those students want to learn an instrument, so we have to multiply the number of students who chose music by 5/7:

$\dfrac{7x}{8}\cdot \dfrac{5}{7}=\dfrac{5x}{8}$

So, 5/8 of the students want to learn an instrument.

Diego is solving the equation x^2-12x = 21

uysha [10]

Answer:

The solutions to the quadratic equations will be:

$x=\sqrt{57}+6,\:x=-\sqrt{57}+6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

$x^2-12x\:=\:21$

Let us solve the equation by completing the square

$x^2-12x\:=\:21$

Add (-6)² to both sides

$x^2-12x+\left(-6\right)^2=21+\left(-6\right)^2$

simplify

$x^2-12x+\left(-6\right)^2=57$

Apply perfect square formula: (a-b)² = a²-2ab+b²

i.e.

$x^2-12x+\left(-6\right)^2=\left(x-6\right)^2$

so the expression becomes

$\left(x-6\right)^2=57$

$\mathrm{For\:}f^2\left(x\right)=a\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}f\left(x\right)=\sqrt{a},\:-\sqrt{a}$

solve

$x-6=\sqrt{57}$

add 6 to both sides

$x-6+6=\sqrt{57}+6$

Simplify

$x=\sqrt{57}+6$

also solving

$x-6=-\sqrt{57}$

add 6 to both sides

$x-6+6=-\sqrt{57}+6$

Simplify

$x=-\sqrt{57}+6$

Therefore, the solutions to the quadratic equation will be:

$x=\sqrt{57}+6,\:x=-\sqrt{57}+6$

Two streams flow into a reservoir. Let X and Y be two continuous random variables representing the flow of each stream with join

zlopas [31]

Answer:

c = 0.165

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

f(x, y) = cx y(1 + y) for 0 ≤ x ≤ 3 and 0 ≤ y ≤ 3,

f(x, y) = 0 otherwise.

Required:

The value of c

To find the value of c, we make use of the property of a joint probability distribution function which states that

$\int\limits^a_b \int\limits^a_b {f(x,y)} \, dy \, dx = 1$

where a and b represent -infinity to +infinity (in other words, the bound of the distribution)

By substituting cx y(1 + y) for f(x, y) and replacing a and b with their respective values, we have

$\int\limits^3_0 \int\limits^3_0 {cxy(1+y)} \, dy \, dx = 1$

Since c is a constant, we can bring it out of the integral sign; to give us

$c\int\limits^3_0 \int\limits^3_0 {xy(1+y)} \, dy \, dx = 1$

Open the bracket

$c\int\limits^3_0 \int\limits^3_0 {xy+xy^{2} } \, dy \, dx = 1$

Integrate with respect to y

$c\int\limits^3_0 {\frac{xy^{2}}{2} +\frac{xy^{3}}{3} } \, dx (0,3}) = 1$

Substitute 0 and 3 for y

$c\int\limits^3_0 {(\frac{x* 3^{2}}{2} +\frac{x * 3^{3}}{3} ) - (\frac{x* 0^{2}}{2} +\frac{x * 0^{3}}{3})} \, dx = 1$

$c\int\limits^3_0 {(\frac{x* 9}{2} +\frac{x * 27}{3} ) - (0 +0) \, dx = 1$

$c\int\limits^3_0 {(\frac{9x}{2} +\frac{27x}{3} ) \, dx = 1$

Add fraction

$c\int\limits^3_0 {(\frac{27x + 54x}{6}) \, dx = 1$

$c\int\limits^3_0 {\frac{81x}{6} \, dx = 1$

Rewrite;

$c\int\limits^3_0 (81x * \frac{1}{6}) \, dx = 1$

The $\frac{1}{6}$ is a constant, so it can be removed from the integral sign to give

$c * \frac{1}{6}\int\limits^3_0 (81x ) \, dx = 1$

$\frac{c}{6}\int\limits^3_0 (81x ) \, dx = 1$

Integrate with respect to x

$\frac{c}{6} * \frac{81x^{2}}{2} (0,3) = 1$

Substitute 0 and 3 for x

$\frac{c}{6} * \frac{81 * 3^{2} - 81 * 0^{2}}{2} = 1$

$\frac{c}{6} * \frac{81 * 9 - 0}{2} = 1$

$\frac{c}{6} * \frac{729}{2} = 1$

$\frac{729c}{12} = 1$

Multiply both sides by $\frac{12}{729}$

$c = \frac{12}{729}$

$c = 0.0165 (Approximately)$
