Let the two required numbers be x and 100 - x, then
Sum of its squares is given by S = x^2 + (100 - x)^2
For the sum of the squares to be minimum, dS/dx = 0

dS/dx = 2x - 2(100 - x) = 0
2x - 200 + 2x = 0
4x = 200
x = 50.

The two numbers is 50 and 50.

3.3.1. An urn contains five balls numbered 1 to 5. Two balls are drawn simultaneously. (a) Let X be the larger of the two number
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that an urn contains five balls numbered 1 to 5

Two balls are drawn simultaneously.

a) X = the larger of two numbers drawn

Assuming balls are drawn without replacement, (since simultaneously drawn)

the sample space would be (1,2) (1,3)(1,4)(1,5) (2,3)(2,4)(2,5) (3,4) (3,5) (4,5)

n(S) = 10

n(x=2) = 1,

n(x=3) =2

n(x=4) = 3

n(x=5) = 4

Larger value  X can take values only as 2,3,4 or 5

X          2              3            4               5

p          0.1           0.2       0.3             0.4

-------------------------------------------

b) V = sum of numbers drawn

V can take values as 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9

V                  3        4             5          6           7             8          9

p                  0.1     0.1         0.2      0.2         0.2        0.1        0.1

Find the slope and the point given the point slope form y-3=-2(x+5)
Dima020 [189]

Step-by-step explanation:

y-3=-2(x+5) | Given

y - 3 = 2x + 10 | Distribute the 2, multiply the terms inside of the parenthesis by the outside number (2).

y = 2x + 13 | Add 3 to both sides.

The slope is 2/1 (2x or 2) and the y-intercept is (0, 10).
