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

Mathematics
1 answer:
kicyunya [14]3 years ago

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.

2x-5=3x^2 find the root of X
Zina [86]

For this case we must solve the following quadratic equation:

3x ^ 2-2x + 5 = 0

Where:

a = 3\\b = -2\\c = 5

The roots are given by:

x = \frac {-b \pm \sqrt {b ^ 2-4 (a) (c)}} {2a}

Substituting the values we have:

x = \frac {- (- 2) \pm \sqrt {(- 2) ^ 2-4 (3) (5)}} {2 (3)}\\x = \frac {- (- 2) \pm \sqrt {(- 2) ^ 2-4 (3) (5)}} {2 (3)}\\x = \frac {2 \pm \sqrt {4-60}} {6}\\x = \frac {2 \pm \sqrt {-56}} {6}

By definition we have to:

i ^ 2 = -1\\x = \frac {2 \pm \sqrt {56i ^ 2}} {6}\\x = \frac {2 \pm i \sqrt {56}} {6}\\x = \frac {2 \pm i \sqrt {2 ^ 2 * 14}} {6}\\x = \frac {2 \pm 2i \sqrt {14}} {6}\\x = \frac {1 \pm i \sqrt {14}} {3}

We have two complex roots:

x_ {1} = \frac {1+ i \sqrt {14}} {3}\\x_ {2} = \frac {1- i \sqrt {14}} {3}

Answer:

x_ {1} = \frac {1+ i \sqrt {14}} {3}\\x_ {2} = \frac {1- i \sqrt {14}} {3}

Find the degree of the polynomial
ikadub [295]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 5a - 2b² + 1

Degree of the polynomial = 2

2) 4x²-3x³ + 2x + 12

-3x³ + 4x² + 2x + 12

Degree of the polynomial = 3

To find the degree of the polynomial, arrange it in descending as per the power of the variables.

The highest power of the variable is the degree of the polynomial.

Find the leg (in inches) of the triangle whose hypotenuse is 10 inches and whose other leg is 3.25 inches. Round to the nearest
alekssr [168]

Answer:

Other Side (B) = 9.45 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Hypotenuse = 10 inches

Other Side (A) = 3.25 inches

Find:

Other Side (B) = ?

Computation:

According to Pythagoras theorem:

Hypotenuse^2= (Perpendicular)^2+(Base)^2\\\\Hypotenuse^2= (A)^2+(B)^2\\\\10^2= (3.25)^2+(B)^2\\\\100=10.5625 +(B)^2\\\\89.4375 = (B)^2\\\\B=\sqrt{89.4375}\\\\B=9.4571

Other Side (B) = 9.45 inches

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

2, 0, 2, 3, 5

1, 2, 4, 0, 5

Step-by-step explanation:

(ax + b)(cx² + dx + e)

acx³ + adx² + aex + bcx² + bdx + be

2(2)x³ + 2(3)x² + 2(5)x + 0 + 0 + 0

4x³ + 6x² + 10x

a = 2

b = 0

c = 2

d = 3

e = 5

1(4)x³ + 1(0)x² + 1(10)x + 2(4)x² + 0 + 10

4x³ + 8x² + 10x + 10

a = 1

b = 2

c = 4

d = 0

e = 5
