What is the probability of breaking a stick into 3 pieces and forming a triangle?

Mathematics

kicyunya [14]3 years ago
3 0

The probabilities:

-Two break points are selected randomly (and distributed uniformly) on the stick.

The stick is first broken into two pieces. The longest (or rather, not the shortest) is then broken into two.

-The stick is first broken into two pieces. A piece randomly selected with probability 1/2 is then broken into two.

-The stick is first broken into two pieces. A piece randomly selected with the probability proportional to its length is then broken into two.

What value of x is in the solution set of 3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2?
alisha [4.7K]
Hey!


To start solving equation, we should first distribute the parenthesis. We do this so that we can get rid of the parenthesis.

<em>Original Equation :</em>
3 ( x - 4 ) ≥ 5x + 2

<em>New Equation {Changed by Distribution} :</em>
3x - 12 ≥ 5x + 2

Next, we'd add 12 to both sides of the equation to get rid of the 12 on the left side of the equation.

<em>Old Equation :</em>
3x - 12 ≥ 5x + 2

<em>New Equation {Changed by Adding 12 to Both Sides} :</em>
3x ≥ 5x + 14

Now we subtract 5x from both sides of the equation to get rid of the 5x from the right side.

<em>Old Equation :</em>
3x ≥ 5x + 14

<em>New Equation {Changed by Subtracting 5x From Both Sides} :</em>
-2x ≥ 14

Now we must inverse the inequality. To do that we multiply both sides by -1.

<em>Old Equation :</em>
-2x ≥ 14

<em>New Equation {Changed by Inverse} :</em>
2x ≤ -14

Just by looking at the equation, you can easily tell that it needs to be simplified. So, that's what we'll do next.

<em>Old Equation :</em>
2x ≤ -14

<em>New Equation {Changed by Dividing Both Sides by Two} :</em>
x ≤ -7

Seeing as the equation cannot be simplified any further, we have our answer.
<em>The value of x in the inequality </em><span><em>of 3 ( x – 4 ) ≥ 5x + 2, is </em> x </span>≤ -7.

Hope this helps!
