keeping in mind that parallel lines have the same exact slope, hmmmm what's the slope of the line above anyway?

$\bf 3y-x=-12\implies 3y=x-12\implies y=\cfrac{x-12}{3}\implies y = \cfrac{x}{3}-\cfrac{12}{3} \\\\\\ y = \stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{\cfrac{1}{3}}x-4\qquad \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}$

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 1/3 and runs through (18,2)

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{18}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{2})~\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{1}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{2}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{1}{3}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{18}) \\\\\\ y-2=\cfrac{1}{3}x-6\implies y=\cfrac{1}{3}x-4$

Suppose u1, u2, ..., un are independent random variables and for every i = 1, ..., n, ui has a uniform distribution over [0, 1].

$Z=U_{(1)}=\min\{U_1,\ldots,U_n\}$

has CDF

$F_Z(z)=1-(1-F_{U_i}(z))^n$

where $F_{U_i}(u_i)$ is the CDF of $U_i$ . Since $U_i$ are iid. with the standard uniform distribution, we have

$F_{U_i}(u_i)=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }u_i$

and so

$F_Z(z)=1-(1-F_{U_i}(z))^n=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }z$

Differentiate the CDF with respect to $z$ to obtain the PDF:

$f_Z(z)=\dfrac{\mathrm dF_Z(z)}{\mathrm dz}=\begin{cases}n(1-z)^{n-1}&\text{for }0$

i.e. $Z$ has a Beta distribution $\beta(1,n)$ .

What does “ Classify each polynomial by degree and number of terms” mean?

MrMuchimi

Okay so I'm going to try and explain it to you as best as possible. So all they are basically telling you is to give it a name. A degree on a polynomial is the highest exponent on it and the number of terms is the number of numbers. For example: -5x^3 + 2x^2 - 7
This is a 3rd degree polynomial with 3 terms. All you have to do is look at the largest exponent and that is your degree and the number of numbers.
