For example, y = k/x; when x = 3 => k = 3y; when y = 9 => k = 27 and x = 27/9 = 3;
The answer is 3!

Use the power-reducing formulas to rewrite the expression as an equivalent expression that does not contain powers of trigonome

ratelena [41]

Answer:

$x = 0.175\cdot (1-\cos 4\cdot \theta)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let use the following trigonometric identities:

$\sin^{2}\theta = \frac{1-\cos 2\cdot \theta}{2} \\\cos^{2}\theta = \frac{1+\cos 2\cdot \theta}{2}$

Then, the equation is simplified by substituting its components:

$x = 1.40\cdot \left(\frac{1-\cos 2\cdot \theta}{2} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{1+\cos 2\cdot \theta}{2} \right)$

$x = 0.35\cdot (1-\cos^{2}2\cdot \theta)$

$x = 0.35\cdot \sin^{2}2\cdot \theta$

$x = 0.35\cdot \left(\frac{1-\cos 4\cdot \theta}{2} \right)$

$x = 0.175\cdot (1-\cos 4\cdot \theta)$

The diameter of a particle of contamination (in micrometers) is modeled with the probability density function f(x)= 2/x^3 for x

natulia [17]

Answer:

a) 0.96

b) 0.016

c) 0.018

d) 0.982

e) x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given with the Probability density function f(x)= 2/x^3 where x > 1.

<em>Firstly we will calculate the general probability that of P(a < X < b) </em>

P(a < X < b) = $\int_{a}^{b} \frac{2}{x^{3}} dx$ = $2\int_{a}^{b} x^{-3} dx$

= $2[ \frac{x^{-3+1} }{-3+1}]^{b}_a dx$ { Because $\int_{a}^{b} x^{n} dx = [ \frac{x^{n+1} }{n+1}]^{b}_a$ }

= $2[ \frac{x^{-2} }{-2}]^{b}_a$ = $\frac{2}{-2} [ x^{-2} ]^{b}_a$

= $-1 [ b^{-2} - a^{-2} ]$ = $\frac{1}{a^{2} } - \frac{1}{b^{2} }$

a) Now P(X < 5) = P(1 < X < 5) {because x > 1 }

Comparing with general probability we get,

P(1 < X < 5) = $\frac{1}{1^{2} } - \frac{1}{5^{2} }$ = $1 - \frac{1}{25}$ = 0.96 .

b) P(X > 8) = P(8 < X < ∞) = 1/ $8^{2}$ - 1/∞ = 1/64 - 0 = 0.016

c) P(6 < X < 10) = $\frac{1}{6^{2} } - \frac{1}{10^{2} }$ = $\frac{1}{36} - \frac{1}{100 }$ = 0.018 .

d) P(x < 6 or X > 10) = P(1 < X < 6) + P(10 < X < ∞)

= $(\frac{1}{1^{2} } - \frac{1}{6^{2} })$ + (1/ $10^{2}$ - 1/∞) = 1 - 1/36 + 1/100 + 0 = 0.982

e) We have to find x such that P(X < x) = 0.75 ;

⇒ P(1 < X < x) = 0.75

⇒ $\frac{1}{1^{2} } - \frac{1}{x^{2} }$ = 0.75

⇒ $\frac{1} {x^{2} }$ = 1 - 0.75 = 0.25

⇒ $x^{2}$ = $\frac{1}{0.25}$ ⇒ $x^{2}$ = 4 ⇒ x = $2$

Therefore, value of x such that P(X < x) = 0.75 is 2.

Sara is working on a Geometry problem in her Algebra class. The problem requires Sara to use the two quadrilaterals below to ans

zloy xaker [14]

Part A:

Given a square with sides 6 and x + 4. Also, given a rectangle with sides 2 and 3x + 4

The perimeter of the square is given by 4(x + 4) = 4x + 16

The area of the rectangle is given by 2(2) + 2(3x + 4) = 4 + 6x + 8 = 6x + 12

For the perimeters to be the same

4x + 16 = 6x + 12
4x - 6x = 12 - 16
-2x = -4
x = -4 / -2 = 2

The value of x that makes the <span>perimeters of the quadrilaterals the same is 2.

Part B:

The area of the square is given by

$Area=(x+4)^2=x^2+8x+16$

The area of the rectangle is given by 2(3x + 4) = 6x + 8

For the areas to be the same

$x^2+8x+16=6x+8 \\ \\ \Rightarrow x^2+8x-6x+16-8=0 \\ \\ \Rightarrow x^2+2x+8=0 \\ \\ \Rightarrow x= \frac{-2\pm\sqrt{2^2-4(8)}}{2} \\ \\ = \frac{-2\pm\sqrt{4-32}}{2} = \frac{-2\pm\sqrt{-28}}{2} \\ \\ = \frac{-2\pm2i\sqrt{7}}{2} =-1\pm i\sqrt{7}$

Thus, there is no real value of x for which the area of the quadrilaterals will be the same.
