How far from the base of the house do you need to place a 15ft ladder so that it exactly reaches the top of a 12ft tall wall

1 answer:

4 0

It's a right triangle problem, and pretty obviously a multiple of the only Pythagorean Triple most folks know, 3²+4²=5². In this case we multiply the lengths by three getting

9²+12²=15²

If we place the 15 foot ladder 9 feet from the house it will hit the house at height 12 feet.

Answer: 9 feet

What is the value of y for the line that has a slope of 1 and goes through the points (-4, y) and (-2, 8)?

Pavel [41]

Answer:

y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation of a line, calculate the slope between points (-4,y) and (-2,8). Substitute m = 1 and solve for y.

$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\ 1 = \frac{y-8}{-4--2}\\\\ 1 =\frac{y-8}{-2}\\\\-2=y-8\\\\6=y$

Suppose the time a child spends waiting at for the bus as a school bus stop is exponentially distributed with mean 7 minutes. De

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

The probability that the child must wait between 6 and 9 minutes on the bus stop on a given morning is 0.148.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable X represent the time a child spends waiting at for the bus as a school bus stop.

The random variable X is exponentially distributed with mean 7 minutes.

Then the parameter of the distribution is, $\lambda=\frac{1}{\mu}=\frac{1}{7}$ .

The probability density function of X is:

$f_{X}(x)=\lambda\cdot e^{-\lambda x};\ x>0,\ \lambda>0$

Compute the probability that the child must wait between 6 and 9 minutes on the bus stop on a given morning as follows:

$P(6\leq X\leq 9)=\int\limits^{9}_{6} {\lambda\cdot e^{-\lambda x}} \, dx$

$=\int\limits^{9}_{6} {\frac{1}{7}\cdot e^{-\frac{1}{7} \cdot x}} \, dx \\\\=\frac{1}{7}\cdot \int\limits^{9}_{6} {e^{-\frac{1}{7} \cdot x}} \, dx \\\\=[-e^{-\frac{1}{7} \cdot x}]^{9}_{6}\\\\=e^{-\frac{1}{7} \cdot 6}-e^{-\frac{1}{7} \cdot 9}\\\\=0.424373-0.276453\\\\=0.14792\\\\\approx 0.148$

Thus, the probability that the child must wait between 6 and 9 minutes on the bus stop on a given morning is 0.148.
