Answer:

P ( -1, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given ratio is AP : PB = 3 : 2 = m : n and points A(5,6) B(-5,-9)

We will calculate coordinates of the point P which divides line segment AB

in the following way:

xp = (n · xa + m · xb) / (m+n) = (2 · 5 + 3 · (-5)) / (3+2) = (10-15) / 5 = -5/5 = -1

xp = -1

yp = (n · ya + m · yb) / (m+n) = (2 · 6 + 3 · (-9)) / (3+2) = (12-27) / 5 = -15/5 = -3

yp = -3

Point P( -1, -3)

Doing research for insurance rates, it is found that those aged 30 to 49 drive an average of 38.7 miles per day with a standard

Alja [10]

Answer: 0.4302

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Mean : $\mu=\text{38.7 miles }$

Standard deviation : $\sigma=\text{6.7 miles }$

Sample size : $n=60$

Also, these distances are normally distributed.

Then , the formula to calculate the z-score is given by :-

$z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

For x=32.5

$\\\\ z=\dfrac{32.5-38.7}{6.7}=-0.925373134\approx-0.93$

For x=40.5

$\\\\ z=\dfrac{40.5-38.7}{6.7}=0.268656\approx0.27$

The p-value = $P(-0.93$

$=P(0.27)-P(-0.93)=0.6064198- 0.1761855=0.4302343\approx0.4302$

Hence, the required probability :-0.4302

If f(z)=m^z - n^z, and f(1)=2, f(2)=8. Find f(3).

Marina CMI [18]

If f(z)=m^z - n^z <span>and f(1)=2, f(2)=8
then
m - n = 2 so m = n + 2
m^2 - n^2 = 8

substitute </span>m = n + 2 into m^2 - n^2 = 8

so
m^2 - n^2 = 8
(n + 2)^2 - n^2 = 8
n^2 + 4n + 4 - n^2 = 8
4n = 4
n = 1

m = n + 2 = 1 + 2 = 3

so f(z) = 3^z - 1^z

if z = 1 the f(1) = 3^1 - 1^1 = 2
if z = 2 the f(2) = 3^2 - 1^2 = 9 - 1 = 8
if z = 3 the f(3) = 3^3 - 1^2 = 27 - 1 = 26

answer
f(3) = 26
