Answer: 72 cars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "x" the number of toys that Moby had to start with.

According to the information given in the exercise, Moby sold half his toy car collection. This can be represented with the following expression:

\frac{1}{2}x

Then he bought 12 more cars, giving a total amount of 48 toy cars.

Therefore, the equation that represents this situation is the equation shown below:

x-\frac{1}{2}x+12=48

Now you must solve for "x" in order to find its value.

You get that this is:

\frac{1}{2}x+12=48\\\\\frac{1}{2}x=48-12\\\\\frac{1}{2}x=36\\\\x=(36)(2)\\\\x=72

Consider the function f given by f(x)=x*(e^(-x^2)) for all real numbers x.
NISA [10]

Answer:

\frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

You are going to integrate the following function:

g(x)=x*f(x)=x*xe^{-x^2}=x^2e^{-x^2}  (1)

furthermore, you know that:

\int_0^{\infty}e^{-x^2}=\frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{2}

lets call to this integral, the integral Io.

for a general form of I you have In:

I_n=\int_0^{\infty}x^ne^{-ax^2}dx

furthermore you use the fact that:

I_n=-\frac{\partial I_{n-2}}{\partial a}

by using this last expression in an iterative way you obtain the following:

\int_0^{\infty}x^{2s}e^{-ax^2}dx=\frac{(2s-1)!!}{2^{s+1}a^s}\sqrt{\frac{\pi}{a}} (2)

with n=2s a even number

for s=1 you have n=2, that is, the function g(x). By using the equation (2) (with a = 1) you finally obtain:

\int_0^{\infty}x^2e^{-x^2}dx=\frac{(2(1)-1)!}{2^{1+1}(1^1)}\sqrt{\pi}=\frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{4}

A variable is normally distributed with mean 6 and standard 2 deviation .
Tju [1.3M]

The normal distribution is also known as the Gaussian distribution. The percentage of all possible values of the variable that are less than 4 is 15.87%.

<h3>What is a normal distribution?</h3>

The normal distribution, also known as the Gaussian distribution, is a symmetric probability distribution about the mean, indicating that data near the mean occur more frequently than data distant from the mean. The normal distribution will show as a bell curve on a graph.

A.) The percentage of all possible values of the variable that lie between 5 and 9.

P(5<X<9) = P(X<9) - P(5<X)

               = P(z<1.5) - P(-0.5<z)

               = 0.9332 - 0.3085

               = 0.6247

               = 62.47%

B.) The percentage of all possible values of the variable that exceed 1.

P(X>1) = 1 - P(X<-2.5)

          = 1-0.0062

          = 0.9938

          = 99.38%

C.) The percentage of all possible values of the variable that are less than 4.

P(X<4) = P(X <4)

           = P(z<-1)
           = 0.1587

           = 15.87%

Ji-Hun and Kana are running a marathon. Due to the volume of people running, the starts occur in waves. Kana starts at 9:35 a.m.
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

23.52 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us find the number of miles that they would have run.

Kana starts at 9:35 a.m. and runs at an average rate of 7 mph.

Let the time she has spent so far be t.

Speed is given as:

s = d / t

where d = distance and t = time

=> d = s * t

Therefore, for Kana:

d = 7 * t = 7t _____________(1)

Ji-Hun starts at 10:00 am (25 minutes after Hannah) and runs at an average rate of 8 mph.

25 minutes = 25/60 hour = 0.42 hour

So, his time (compared to Kana's) is t - 0.42.

therefore, for Ji-Hun:

d = 8 * (t - 0.42)

=> d = 8t - 3.36 ____________(2)

Equating (1) and (2):

7t = 8t - 3.36

=> 8t - 7t = 3.36

t = 3.36 hours

Therefore, let us find d:

d = 7 * 3.36 = 23.52 miles

So, Ji-Hun will catch up to Kana after 23.52 miles.
