Since -5 and -5 are the same number, they are on the same y axis so the only distance we need to calculate is between the X coordinates.
When looking for distance, you can not have a negative. what |-3|+|9| is looking for is the distance from 0 on the X axis. since distance can't be negative, (you go 3 miles away from your house in one direction, vs 3 miles in the opposite. both ways is positive, even with opposite directions. same with axis, it doesnt matter which way, only the number.) you need the absolute value of -3 to get the distance from the 0 on the x axis.
short version: distance is positive, and its adding the distances from the x axis to get distance from each other
Since we know 14, but we don't know the other number, we use a variable. To do that, we look at the problem, then we figure out the unknown. The unknown is: A number. We know 14. Since "Triple" means 3, we can put the exponent 3 by X.
Therefore, the answer is 
.
Answer:
x = (4 + 2√34)/10, x = (4 - 2√34)/10
Step-by-step explanation:
5x² - 4x = 6
Subtract: 5x² - 4x - 6 = 0
Quadratic formula: x = (4 ± √(16 - 4*5*(-6)))/10
Multiply: x = (4 ± √(16 + 120))/10
Simplify: x = (4 ± 2√34)/10
Answer:
y=
x +4

Answer:
0.61596
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
λ = 5 (5 errors per page)
Poisson distribution formula :
P(x = x) = (λ^x * e^-λ) / x!
Probability that page does not need to be retyped means that error on page is less than or equal to 5
P(x ≤ 5) = p(x = 5) + p(x = 4) +... + p(x = 0)
The individual probabilities can be obtained using the formula above or the use of a calculator
P(x ≤ 5) = 0.17547 + 0.17547 + 0.14037 + 0.08422 + 0.03369 + 0.00674
P(x ≤ 5) = 0.61596
