The solutions of the equation are -12 and 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Absolute value describes the distance of a number on the number line from 0 without considering which direction from zero the number lies. The absolute value of a number is never negative, if IxI = a, where a > 0, then

  • x = a
  • x = -a

∵ 2Ix - 2I - 8 = 20

- At first add 8 to both sides

∴ 2Ix - 2I = 28

- Then divide both sides by 2

∴ Ix - 2I = 14

Now By using the notes above equate x - 2 by 14 and -14

∵ x - 2 = 14

- Add 2 to both sides

∴ x = 16

∵ x - 2 = -14

- Add 2 to both sides

∴ x = -12

The solutions of the equation are -12 and 16

Consider the random variables X and Y with joint density function ???? f(x,y)= x+y, 0≤x≤1;0≤y≤1 0, elsewhere. (a) Find the margi
sp2606 [1]

a. The marginal densities

f_X(x)=\displaystyle\int_0^1(x+y)\,\mathrm dy=x+\frac12

and

f_Y(y)=\displaystyle\int_0^1(x+y)\,\mathrm dx=y+\frac12

b. This can be obtained by integrating the joint density over [0.25, 1] x [0.5, 1]:

P(X>0.25,Y>0.5)=\displaystyle\int_{1/4}^1\int_{1/2}^1(x+y)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy=\frac{33}{64}

Determine the value of x
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

2√2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>By </u><u>using </u><u>trigonometry,</u>

sin 45° = x/4

x = 4sin 45°

x = 2√2

<u>By </u><u>using </u><u>Pythagorean</u><u> </u><u>theorem</u><u>,</u>

Since you know that it is an isosceles triangle and it's also a right-angled triangle,

4² = x² + x²

16 = 2x²

x² = 8

x = √8

= 2√2
