Length of bridge = 53 meters

Length changes expected due to changes in temperature = expansion or contraction by 21 millimeters (or 0.021 meters)

Let length of bridge at any given time be 'a'

As an absolute value equation, the situation can be expressed as:

⇒ |a-53| < 0.021

Solving the equation

⇒ -0.021 < a-53 < 0.021

⇒ 53 - 0.021 < a < 53 + 0.021

⇒ 52.979 < a < 53.021

Hence, the minimum length of the bridge can be 52.979 meters and the maximum length of the bridge can be 53.021 meters.

Prove that the roots of x2+(1-k)x+k-3=0 are real for all real values of k​
masha68 [24]

Answer:

Roots are not real

Step-by-step explanation:

To prove : The roots of x^2 +(1-k)x+k-3=0x

2

+(1−k)x+k−3=0 are real for all real values of k ?

Solution :

The roots are real when discriminant is greater than equal to zero.

i.e. b^2-4ac\geq 0b

2

−4ac≥0

The quadratic equation x^2 +(1-k)x+k-3=0x

2

+(1−k)x+k−3=0

Here, a=1, b=1-k and c=k-3

Substitute the values,

We find the discriminant,

D=(1-k)^2-4(1)(k-3)D=(1−k)

2

−4(1)(k−3)

D=1+k^2-2k-4k+12D=1+k

2

−2k−4k+12

D=k^2-6k+13D=k

2

−6k+13

D=(k-(3+2i))(k+(3+2i))D=(k−(3+2i))(k+(3+2i))

For roots to be real, D ≥ 0

But the roots are imaginary therefore the roots of the given equation are not real for any value of k.

Americans receive an average of 20 Christmas cards each year. Suppose the number of Christmas cards is normally distributed with
soldier1979 [14.2K]

The distribution of X is X ~ N (20 , 6) and the probability that this American will receive no more than 24 Christmas cards this year is 0.7486.

<h3>Probability</h3>

a. Distribution

X ~ N (20 , 6)

b. P(x ≤24)

= P[(x - μ ) / σ  (24 - 20) / 6]

= P(z  ≤0.67)

=  0.74857

=0.7486

Hence:

Probability = 0.7486

c. P(21 < x < 26)

= P[(21 - 26)/ 6) < (x - μ  ) / σ   < (24 - 20) / 6) ]

= P(-0.83 < z < 0.67)

= P(z < 0.67) - P(z < -0.)

=  0.74857- 0.2033

= 0.54527

Hence:

Probability =0.54527

d. Using standard normal table ,

P(Z < z) = 66%

P(Z < 0.50) = 0.66

z = 0.50

Using z-score formula,

x = z×  σ +  μ

x = 0.50 × 6 + 20 = 23

23 Christmas cards

Therefore the distribution of X is X ~ N (20 , 6) and the probability that this American will receive no more than 24 Christmas cards this year is 0.7486.
