Answer:

(a) The value of <em>a</em> is 53.35.

(b) The value of <em>a</em> is 38.17.

(c) The value of <em>a</em> is 26.95.

(d) The value of <em>a</em> is 25.63.

(e) The value of <em>a</em> is 12.06.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability density function of <em>X</em> is:

f_{X}(x)=\frac{1}{55-22}=\frac{1}{33}

Here, 22 < X < 55.

(a)

Compute the value of <em>a</em> as follows:

P(X\leq a)=\int\limits^{a}_{22} {\frac{1}{33}} \, dx \\\\0.95=\frac{1}{33}\cdot \int\limits^{a}_{22} {1} \, dx \\\\0.95\times 33=[x]^{a}_{22}\\\\31.35=a-22\\\\a=31.35+22\\\\a=53.35

Thus, the value of <em>a</em> is 53.35.

(b)

Compute the value of <em>a</em> as follows:

P(X< a)=\int\limits^{a}_{22} {\frac{1}{33}} \, dx \\\\0.95=\frac{1}{33}\cdot \int\limits^{a}_{22} {1} \, dx \\\\0.49\times 33=[x]^{a}_{22}\\\\16.17=a-22\\\\a=16.17+22\\\\a=38.17

Thus, the value of <em>a</em> is 38.17.

(c)

Compute the value of <em>a</em> as follows:

P(X\geq  a)=\int\limits^{55}_{a} {\frac{1}{33}} \, dx \\\\0.85=\frac{1}{33}\cdot \int\limits^{55}_{a} {1} \, dx \\\\0.85\times 33=[x]^{55}_{a}\\\\28.05=55-a\\\\a=55-28.05\\\\a=26.95

Thus, the value of <em>a</em> is 26.95.

(d)

Compute the value of <em>a</em> as follows:

P(X\geq  a)=\int\limits^{55}_{a} {\frac{1}{33}} \, dx \\\\0.89=\frac{1}{33}\cdot \int\limits^{55}_{a} {1} \, dx \\\\0.89\times 33=[x]^{55}_{a}\\\\29.37=55-a\\\\a=55-29.37\\\\a=25.63

Thus, the value of <em>a</em> is 25.63.

(e)

Compute the value of <em>a</em> as follows:

P(1.83\leq X\leq  a)=\int\limits^{a}_{1.83} {\frac{1}{33}} \, dx \\\\0.31=\frac{1}{33}\cdot \int\limits^{a}_{1.83} {1} \, dx \\\\0.31\times 33=[x]^{a}_{1.83}\\\\10.23=a-1.83\\\\a=10.23+1.83\\\\a=12.06

Thus, the value of <em>a</em> is 12.06.

Rectangle STUV has square PQRS removed, leaving an area of 92 m^2. Side PT is 4 m in length and side RV is 8m in length
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

117 m^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

First think of the square that was removed.  All 4 sides are equal but you don't know the length so lets gives them the variable X.

So to find the area of the rectangle, insert those variables into the area equation for a rectangle.

(RV + (X) ) (PT +(X)) = rectangle area

Now you are given what the area is if you remove the square.  So subtract the the square's area from the equation above and set it equal to the size they told you.

(RV + (X)) (PT + (X))  - [(X)(X)] = 92m^{2}

      rectangle          -  square  =  remaining area

Now plug in the numbers you know and solve for X.

(8 + X) (4 + X) - ((X)(X)) = 92    

Use FOIL to multiply the first part of the equation (first, outer, inner, last)

32 + 8x + 4x + x^{2} -  x^{2}  =  92

32 + 12x = 92

12x = 60

x = 5

So now you know the size of the square.  Each side is 5m.  So add 5m onto the top of the rectangle and onto the side.  The top is 13m and the side is 9m.  The area of the rectangle is the length times the height to 13 x 9 which is 117 m^{2}

B. The sum of three numbers is 51. The second number is three more than the first number, and the third number is
Svetach [21]

Answer:

12, 15, 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 1st # = x

Let 2nd # = x+3

Let 3rd # = 2x

Your equation is: x + (x+3) + 2x = 51

Add up all the x: x + x +3 +2x =51

Subtract 3 from both sides: 4x + 3 - 3 = 51 - 3

Divide 4 from both sides: 4x / 4 = 48 / 4

Your 1st number is x = 12

For the 2nd # it is 3 more than x so 12 + 3 = 15

For the 3rd # it is 2 times x so 2(12) = 24

Check your answers by adding up the numbers you solved: 12 + 15 +24 = 51

Does it equal to 51 as stated in the question? Yes, answers check out.

Why is it necessary to apply inverse operations on both sides of the equals l sign when solving an equations
liraira [26]
Take this example (cause it's easy to explain)

10+5x=15x

To solve it we have to minus five on both side. We have to do this because we need to isolate the variable (in this case x) on the one side so we can divide and solve.

You would -5x (inverse from positive 5) from both sides on this because whatever you do to one side you have to do to the others to make it equal. In this case the answer would be x=1 (again cause it's easy lol.)

I hope this helps you!
