Answer:

Part A) The probability is closer to 0, because is less than 50%

Part B) The probability is closer to 1, because is greater than 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The probability of an event is the ratio of the size of the event space to the size of the sample space.  

The size of the sample space is the total number of possible outcomes  

The event space is the number of outcomes in the event you are interested in.  

so  

Let

x------> size of the event space

y-----> size of the sample space  

so

P=\frac{x}{y}

Part A) Is the probability of hitting the black circle inside the target closer to 0 or 1?

In this problem we have

x------> is the area of the black circle

y------> is the total area of the square target

<em>Find the area of black circle</em>

r=3/2=1.5\ units    

x=(3.14)(1.5)^{2} =7.065\ units^{2}

<em>Find the total area of the square target</em>

y=9^{2}=81\ units^{2}

Find the probability

P=\frac{7.065}{81}=0.0872

Convert to percentage

0.0872*100=8.72\%

The probability is closer to 0, because is less than 50%

Part B) Is the probability of hitting the white portion of the target closer to 0 or 1?

In this problem we have

x------> is the area of the white portion of the target

y------> is the total area of the square target

<em>Find the area of the white portion</em>

The area is equal to the area of the square minus the area of the circle

x=81-7.065=73.935\ units^{2}

Find the probability

P=\frac{73.935}{81}=0.9128

Convert to percentage

0.9128*100=91.28\%

The probability is closer to 1, because is greater than 50%

Let f be the function given by f(x)= (x-1)(x^2-4)/x^2-a. For what positive values of a is f continuous for all real numbers x?
9966 [12]

Answer:

a =1 and a=4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is

f(x)=\frac{(x-1)(x^2-4)}{x^2-a}

If we want f(x) to be continuous the denominator needs to be different to 0, otherwise f(x) will be indeterminate.

Now, for a a positive real we have that x=\sqrt{a} will annulate the denominator, i.e

(\sqrt{a})^2-a = a-a = 0. But, if a = 1 we have:

f(x)=\frac{(x-1)(x^2-4)}{x^2-1} = \frac{(x-1)(x^2-4)}{(x-1)(x+1)}=\frac{(x^2-4)}{x+1}

so, the value x=\sqrt{a} = \sqrt{1} = 1 won't annulate the denominator.

Now, for a = 4 we have:

f(x)=\frac{(x-1)(x^2-4)}{x^2-4} = x-1

so, the value x=\sqrt{a} = \sqrt{4} = 2 won't annulate the denominator.

In conclusion, for a=1 or a=1, the function will be continuos for all real numbers, since the denominator will never be 0.
