The x-intercept of the line x = 3.5 is

1 answer:

8 0

X intercept is where the line crosses the x axis

the line, x=3.5 means, go 3.5 units right from the origin and draw a vertical (up and down) line throught that

xintercept is (3.5,0) or x=3.5

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.

Cottage cheese is being sold in different size containers. The sizes and prices are given below: 4 - 5 ounce containers for $5.

Karolina [17]

Division is the process of finding the number of times a number is multiplied by itself. The 16-ounce container is the better buy.

<h3>What is Division?</h3>

The division is the process of finding the number of times a number is multiplied by itself.

The prices of the different size containers are given to us,

4-5 ounce containers for $5. 00

1-12 ounce container for $3. 24

1-16 ounce container for $4. 19

Now, find the cost of the cheese per ounce when we buy the minimum cheese and when we but the maximum amount of cheese.

1. For the first Container, 4-5 ounce containers for $5.00

If we buy 4 ounces of cheese, then the cost of each ounce of cheese will be $1.25 for each ounce, while if we buy the maximum amount of cheese therefore 5 ounces for $5 then the cost of each ounce of cheese will be $1.

2. For, the second container, 1-12 ounce container for $3.24

If we buy 1 ounce of cheese, then the cost of each ounce of cheese will be $3.24 for each ounce, while if we buy the maximum amount of cheese therefore 5 ounces for $5 then the cost of each ounce of cheese will be $0.27.

3. For, the third container, 1-16 ounce container for $4.19.

If we buy 1 ounce of cheese, then the cost of each ounce of cheese will be $4.19 for each ounce, while if we buy the maximum amount of cheese therefore 16 ounces for $4.19 then the cost of each ounce of cheese will be $0.26.

Thus, if we buy the maximum amount of cheese from each of the boxes, the third box will be the cheapest.

Hence, The 16-ounce container is the better buy.

How can I find the exact distance between the points(√7,-√2)and (4√7,5√2)

chubhunter [2.5K]

$\bf \textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\
\begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&({{ \sqrt{7}}}\quad ,&{{ -\sqrt{2}}})\quad 
% (c,d)
&({{4\sqrt{7}}}\quad ,&{{ 5\sqrt{2}}})
\end{array}~~~
% distance value
d = \sqrt{({{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}})^2 + ({{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}})^2}
\\\\\\
$

$\bf d=\sqrt{[4\sqrt{7}-\sqrt{7}]^2~+~[5\sqrt{2}-(-\sqrt{2})]^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{(4\sqrt{7}-\sqrt{7})^2~+~(5\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{2})^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(3\sqrt{7})^2~+~(6\sqrt{2})^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{3^2\cdot 7~~+~~6^2\cdot 2}\implies d=\sqrt{63+72}\implies d=\sqrt{135}
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
135=5\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot 3\\
\qquad 5\cdot 3^2\cdot 3\\
\qquad 15\cdot 3^2
\end{cases}\implies d=\sqrt{15\cdot 3^2}\implies d=3\sqrt{15}$
