Answer:

x = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

we can draw the two lines defined by

   y = 4 - x

   y = 2x + 3

And search for the intersection point as below

This is the point A (1/3, 11/3)

Do not hesitate if you have any question

Thanks

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Graph the two lines separately but on the same graph paper, and then from the completed graph read off the coordinates of the point of intersection.

y = 4 - x has a y-intercept of 4 and a slope of -1.  Plot the point (0, 4) and then draw a line with slope -1 through it.

y = 2x + 3 has a y-intercept of 3 and a slope of 2.  Plot (0, 3) and then draw a line with slope +2 through it.  

As a check, solve for x and y algebraically:

4 - x = 2x + 3 becomes 1 - x = 2x, or 3x = 1.  Then x = 1/3.

Use y = 4 - x to find the y value when x = 1/3:

y = 4 - 1/3 = 11/3

Thus, the solution is (1/3, 11/3)

Three numbers in the interval $\left[0,1\right]$ are chosen independently and at random. What is the probability that the chosen
k0ka [10]

Let a,b,c be the randomly selected lengths. Without loss of generality, suppose a[tex]P(A + B \ge C) = P(A + B - C \ge 0)

where A,B,C are independent random variables with the same uniform distribution on [0, 1].

By their mutual independence, we have

P(A=a,B=b,C=c) = P(A=a) \times P(B=b) \times P(C=c)

so that the joint density function is

P(A=a,B=b,C=c) = \begin{cases}1 & \text{if }(a,b,c)\in[0,1]^3 \\ 0 & \text{otherwise}\end{cases}

where [0,1]^3=[0,1]\times[0,1]\times[0,1] is the cube with vertices at (0, 0, 0) and (1, 1, 1).

Consider the plane

a + b - c = 0

with (a,b,c)\in\Bbb R^3. This plane passes through (0, 0, 0), (1, 0, 1), and (0, 1, 1), and thus splits up the cube into one tetrahedral region above the plane and the rest of the cube under it. (see attached plot)

The point (0, 0, 1) (the vertex of the cube above the plane) does not belong the region a+b-c\ge0, since 0+0-1=-1. So the probability we want is the volume of the bottom "half" of the cube. We could integrate the joint density over this set, but integrating over the complement is simpler since it's a tetrahedron.

Then we have

\displaystyle P(A+B-C\ge0) = 1 - P(A+B-C < 0) \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = 1 - \int_0^1\int_0^{1-a}\int_{a+b}^1 P(A=a,B=b,C=c) \, dc\,db\,da \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = 1 - \int_0^1 \int_0^{1-a} (1 - a - b) \, db \, da \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = 1 - \int_0^1 \frac{(1-a)^2}2\,da \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = 1 - \frac16 = \boxed{\frac56}

If f(a + b) = f(a) + f(b) - 2f(ab) for all nonnegative integers a and b, and f(1) = 1, compute f(1986)
Mumz [18]

Answer:

f(1986) = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

f(a + b) = f(a) + f(b) - 2f(ab)

We need to find f(1986)

f(1986) = f(1 +1985). Using the above formula, we can write:

f(1 +1985) = f(1) + f(1985) - 2f(1 x 1985)

f(1986) = 1 - f(1985)                                         Equation 1

Applying the same formula again on f(1985), we get:

f(1985) = f(1 + 1984) = f(1) + f(1984) - 2f(1984)

f(1985) = 1 - f(1984)

Using this value in Equation 1, we get:

f(1986) = 1 - (1 - f(1984))

f(1986)= f(1984)

Continuing this, we can observe,

f(1986) = f(1984) = f(1982) = f(1980) .... = f(4) = f(2)

So,

f(1986) = f(2)

f(2) = f(1 + 1) = f(1) +f(1) - 2(1 x 1) = f(1) + f(1) - 2f(1)

f(2) = 1 + 1 - 2 = 0

Therefore,

f(1986) = f(2) = 0

A football has a rebound percentage of 75%. What is the height of the 5th bounce of a
Anton [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the height of each bounce is 3/4 of its last peak height we can use a geometric sequence to find the bounce height for any number of bounces.

h=12(3/4)^b

h(5)=12(3/4)^5

h(5)=2.85m
