Which of the following shows the division problem below in synthetic division form? 3x^2-10x+7/x+4

Jocelyn desires to increase both her protein consumption and caloric intake. She desires to have at least 35 more grams of prote

borishaifa [10]

Yes, she could. By eating 1 ounce of cheddar cheese and 3 ounces of Parmesan cheese, she would be consuming 40 grams of protein and 176 calories.

Write an equation of the line that passes through the given point and is perpendicular to the graph of the given equation. Pleas

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

$y = \frac{1}{3}x + 4$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, to figure out the equation of a line you must find the slope then plug in the coordinates.

In order to find the slope of the equation, you know that it is perpendicular to the equation y = -3x + 7.

Perpendicular slopes are basically reciprocals with opposite signs; you flip the number and give it the opposite symbol.

For example, the perpendicular slope of 2 would -1/2, because flipping the fraction 2/1 is 1/2 and the opposite sign of + would be -.

Therefore, the perpendicular slope of -3 would be 1/3, be 3/1 flipped upside down is 1/3 and the opposite sign of - is +.

Then you plug in the slope into the equation of a line along with the coordinate.

A line is y = mx + b

Since you found the slope, m = 1/3

They also give you the coordinate (3,5), meaning when x = 3, the y =5.

You plug everything into the equation to solve for b:

5 = (1/3)(3) + b

b = 5 - (1/3 * 3) = 5 - 1 = 4

Since you have values for m and b, the equation can now be constructed as

y = 1/3x + 4

Consider a discrete random variable x with pmf px (1) = c 3 ; px (2) = c 6 ; px (5) = c 3 and 0 otherwise, where c is a positive

PtichkaEL [24]

Looks like the PMF is supposed to be

$\mathbb P(X=x)=\begin{cases}\dfrac c3&\text{for }x\in\{1,5\}\\\\\dfrac c6&\text{for }x=2\\\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

which is kinda weird, but it's not entirely clear what you meant...

Anyway, assuming the PMF above, for this to be a valid PMF, we need the probabilities of all events to sum to 1:

$\displaystyle\sum_{x\in\{1,2,5\}}\mathbb P(X=x)=\dfrac c3+\dfrac c6+\dfrac c3=\dfrac{5c}6=1\implies c=\dfrac65$

Next,

$\mathbb P(X>2)=\mathbb P(X=5)=\dfrac c3=\dfrac25$

$\mathbb E(X)=\displaystyle\sum_{x\in\{1,2,5\}}x\,\mathbb P(X=x)=\dfrac c3+\dfrac{2c}6+\dfrac{5c}3=\dfrac{7c}3=\dfrac{14}5$

$\mathbb V(X)=\mathbb E\bigg((X-\mathbb E(X))^2\bigg)=\mathbb E(X^2)-\mathbb E(X)^2$
$\mathbb E(X^2)=\displaystyle\sum_{x\in\{1,2,5\}}x^2\,\mathbb P(X=x)=\dfrac c3+\dfrac{4c}6+\dfrac{25c}3=\dfrac{28c}3=\dfrac{56}5$
$\implies\mathbb V(X)=\dfrac{56}5-\left(\dfrac{14}5\right)^2=\dfrac{84}{25}$

If $Y=X^2+1$ , then $X^2=Y-1\implies X=\sqrt{Y-1}$ , where we take the positive root because we know $X$ can only take on positive values, namely 1, 2, and 5. Correspondingly, we know that $Y$ can take on the values $1^2+1=2$ , $2^2+1=5$ , and $5^2+1=26$ . At these values of $Y$ , we would have the same probability as we did for the respective value of $X$ . That is,

$\mathbb P(Y=y)=\begin{cases}\dfrac c3&\text{for }y=2\\\\\dfrac c6&\text{for }y=5\\\\\dfrac c3&\text{for }y=26\\\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

Part (5) is incomplete, so I'll stop here.
