Answer:

The end result is -1/(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the answer to this, we first need to factor the denominator. Since it is a quadratic, we try to find number that multiply to the last term (8) and add to the middle term (9). In this case, the numbers 8 and 1 would work. This allows us to use those numbers in parenthesis along with x as a fully factored form.

x^2 + 9x + 8 = (x + 1)(x + 8)

Now that we have this factored we can take the original equation and factor a -1 out of the top.

(-1)(x + 8)/(x + 1)(x + 8)

Since there is an (x + 8) on the top and bottom, we can cancel those.

-1/(x + 1)

A river flows due south at 4 mi/h. A swimmer attempting to cross the river heads due east swimming at 2 mi/h relative to the wat
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

\overrightarrow{V_{S,G}}=2\widehat{i}-4\widehat{j} mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

velocity of river with respect to ground = 4 mi/h south

\overrightarrow{V_{R,G}}=4(\widehat{-j})

Velocity of swimmer with respect to river = 2 mi/h east

\overrightarrow{V_{S,R}}=2(\widehat{i})

According to the formula of relative velocity

\overrightarrow{V_{S,R}}=\overrightarrow{V_{S,G}}-\overrightarrow{V_{R,G}}

2\widehat{i}=\overrightarrow{V_{S,G}}+4\widehat{j}

Where, V(S,G) be the velocity of swimmer with respect to ground, it is true velocity of swimmer.  

\overrightarrow{V_{S,G}}=2\widehat{i}-4\widehat{j} mi/h

How to find the area under the standard normal curve between z 1.5 and z 2.5?
alisha [4.7K]
It is possible to calculate mathematically the area under the normal curve between any two values of z.
However, tables/software have been developed to give the areas under the normal curve to the left of particular values of z.  The function is the probability of Z<z, or P(Z<z).
The area between two values z1 and z2 (where z2>z1) is therefore 
P(Z<z2)-P(Z<z1).

For example, to find the area between  z1=1.5, z2=2.5
is 
P(Z<2.5)-P(Z<1.5)
=0.99379-0.93319
=0.06060

(above values obtained by software, such as R)
For example, the value P(Z<2.5) can be calculated using
P(Z<2.5)=erf(2.5/sqrt(2))/2+1/2
where erf(x) is a mathematical function that does not have an explicit formula (calculated by summation of series, or tabulated).
