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

Mathematics
1 answer:
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.

Because arcsin or sin-1 only gives outputs that are in the first and fourth quadrant.
5pi / 6 is in the second quadrant.

svlad2 [7]

x^2 = the first integer

(x - 1)^2 = the second integer.

x^2 - (x - 1)^2 = ?

First, let's plug a number into our equation for x.

(2)^2 - (2 - 1)^2 = ?

4 - (1)^2 = ?

4 - 1 = 3

As we can see the difference is odd but it's also the sum of the two consecutive integers.

2 + 1 = 3.

This works for all numbers. Let's plug another number into our equation for x.

(4)^2 - (4 - 1)^2 = ?

16 - (3)^2 = ?

16 - 9 = 7

4 + 3 = 7

Try any number and it will always be odd.

The ordered pair (a, b) gives the location of point P on the coordinate plane. The value of b is negative. The value of a is not
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Quadrant III ( C )

Quadrant IV ( D )

Step-by-step explanation:

Ordered pair ( a, b )

gives a point P on the coordinate plane

( a, b ) = ( x, y )

given : b = negative ( y-axis )

           a ≠ 0 ( i.e. a = negative or positive ) ( x -axis )

Therefore point P is located in the : Third and fourth quadrants
