x = 2

Collect terms in x to one side of the equation and numeric values on the other side.

1 + 4x = - 5 + 7x ( subtract 7x from both sides )

1 + 4x - 7x = - 5

1 - 3x = - 5 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

- 3x = - 6 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

x = $\frac{- 6}{- 3}$ = 2

a new car is purchased for 207000 dollars. the value of the car depreciates at 11% per year. what will the value of the car be,

kicyunya [14]

Depreciation of 11% per year means that the price is multiplied by 89% (0.89) every year. Do this 11 times or use exponents

Final price:
207000*(0.89^11) = 57446.083

Suiting at 6 a.m., cars, buses, and motorcycles arrive at a highway loll booth according to independent Poisson processes. Cars

dem82 [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given:

the rate of the cars = $\dfrac{1}{5} \ car / min = 0.2 \ car /min$

the rate of the buses = $\dfrac{1}{10} \ bus / min = 0.1 \ bus /min$

the rate of motorcycle = $\dfrac{1}{30} \ motorcycle / min = 0.0333 \ motorcycle /min$

The probability of any event at a given time t can be expressed as:

$P(event \ (x) \ in \ time \ (t)\ min) = \dfrac{e^{-rate \times t}\times (rate \times t)^x}{x!}$

∴

(a)

$P(2 \ car \ in \ 20 \ min) = \dfrac{e^{-0.20\times 20}\times (0.2 \times 20)^2}{2!}$

$P(2 \ car \ in \ 20 \ min) =0.1465$

$P ( 1 \ motorcycle \ in \ 20 \ min) = \dfrac{e^{-0.0333\times 20}\times (0.0333 \times 20)^1}{1!}$

$P ( 1 \ motorcycle \ in \ 20 \ min) = 0.3422$

$P ( 0 \ buses \ in \ 20 \ min) = \dfrac{e^{-0.1\times 20}\times (0.1 \times 20)^0}{0!}$

$P ( 0 \ buses \ in \ 20 \ min) = 0.1353$

Thus;

P(exactly 2 cars, 1 motorcycle in 20 minutes) = 0.1465 × 0.3422 × 0.1353

P(exactly 2 cars, 1 motorcycle in 20 minutes) = 0.0068

(b)

the rate of the total vehicles = 0.2 + 0.1 + 0.0333 = 0.3333

the rate of vehicles with exact change = rate of total vehicles × P(exact change)

$= 0.3333 \times \dfrac{1}{4}$

= 0.0833

∴

$P(zero \ exact \ change \ in \ 10 minutes) = \dfrac{e^{-0.0833\times 10}\times (0.0833 \times 10)^0}{0!}$

P(zero exact change in 10 minutes) = 0.4347

The probability of the 7th motorcycle after the arrival of the third motorcycle is:

$P( 4 \ motorcyles \ in \ 45 \ minutes) =\dfrac{e^{-0.0333\times 45}\times (0.0333 \times 45)^4}{4!}$

$P( 4 \ motorcyles \ in \ 45 \ minutes) =0.0469$

Thus; the probability of the 7th motorcycle after the arrival of the third one is = 0.0469

P(at least one other vehicle arrives between 3rd and 4th car arrival)

= 1 - P(no other vehicle arrives between 3rd and 4th car arrival)

The 3rd car arrives at 15 minutes

The 4th car arrives at 20 minutes

The interval between the two = 5 minutes

For Bus:

P(no other vehicle other vehicle arrives within 5 minutes is)

= $\dfrac{6}{12} = 0.5$

For motorcycle:

$= \dfrac{2 }{12} = \dfrac{1 }{6}$

∴

The required probability = $1 - \Bigg ( \dfrac{e^{-0.5 \times 0.5^0}}{0!} \times \dfrac{e^{-1/6}\times (1/6)^0}{0!} \Bigg)$

= 1- 0.5134

= 0.4866

In two or more complete sentences, explain what additional information is needed to prove triangle CES congruent to triangle RST

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

We already know that angles ECS and TRS are congruent, because they are both right angles (given). We also know that angles CSE and RST are congruent because they are vertical angles and vertical angles are always congruent. That gives us two sets of congruent angles. We just need to know something about one pair of sides to prove the two triangles congruent to each other. I do question the order of the letters in the names of the triangles--if that's really the order the letters are written in the problem, then we would need to know that ES is congruent to RT or that CS is congruent to ST. If the order of the letters of the names of the triangles is a little different we would need to know that CS is congruent to RS or that any of the other sides that appear to match are actually congruent.
