Trish has two containers of water for a camping trip. One container holds 2 times as much as the other. The total amount of wate

r is 21 gallons. How much water is in each container?

Answer: 7 gallons; 14 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of water in the first container be x.

Since one container holds 2 times as much as the other, the second container will be: = x × 2 = 2x

The total amount of water is 21 gallons. This means:

x + 2x = 21

3x = 21

x = 7 gallons

First container = 7 gallons

Second container= 2x = 2×7 = 14 gallons

Suppose that the length of a side of a cube X is uniformly distributed in the interval 9

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

$f(v) = \left \{ {{\frac{1}{3}v^{-\frac{2}{3}}\ 9^3 \le v \le 10^3} \atop {0, elsewhere}} \right.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$9 < x < 10$ --- interval

Required

The probability density of the volume of the cube

The volume of a cube is:

$v = x^3$

For a uniform distribution, we have:

$x \to U(a,b)$

and

$f(x) = \left \{ {{\frac{1}{b-a}\ a \le x \le b} \atop {0\ elsewhere}} \right.$

$9 < x < 10$ implies that:

$(a,b) = (9,10)$

So, we have:

$f(x) = \left \{ {{\frac{1}{10-9}\ 9 \le x \le 10} \atop {0\ elsewhere}} \right.$

Solve

$f(x) = \left \{ {{\frac{1}{1}\ 9 \le x \le 10} \atop {0\ elsewhere}} \right.$

$f(x) = \left \{ {{1\ 9 \le x \le 10} \atop {0\ elsewhere}} \right.$

Recall that:

$v = x^3$

Make x the subject

$x = v^\frac{1}{3}$

So, the cumulative density is:

$F(x) = P(x < v^\frac{1}{3})$

$f(x) = \left \{ {{1\ 9 \le x \le 10} \atop {0\ elsewhere}} \right.$ becomes

$f(x) = \left \{ {{1\ 9 \le x \le v^\frac{1}{3} - 9} \atop {0\ elsewhere}} \right.$

The CDF is:

$F(x) = \int\limits^{v^\frac{1}{3}}_9 1\ dx$

Integrate

$F(x) = [v]\limits^{v^\frac{1}{3}}_9$

Expand

$F(x) = v^\frac{1}{3} - 9$

The density function of the volume F(v) is:

$F(v) = F'(x)$

Differentiate F(x) to give:

$F(x) = v^\frac{1}{3} - 9$

$F'(x) = \frac{1}{3}v^{\frac{1}{3}-1}$

$F'(x) = \frac{1}{3}v^{-\frac{2}{3}}$

$F(v) = \frac{1}{3}v^{-\frac{2}{3}}$

So:

$f(v) = \left \{ {{\frac{1}{3}v^{-\frac{2}{3}}\ 9^3 \le v \le 10^3} \atop {0, elsewhere}} \right.$

?<br><br>2 to the 3rd power - 5 x (6 + 4) ÷ 2<br><br>show your work

Delvig [45]

Answer:

-17

Step-by-step explanation:

$2^3$ - 5 * (6 + 4) ÷ 2

Following PEMDAS, we must focus on the parenthesis first.

$2^3$ - 5 * (6 + 4) ÷ 2

$2^3$ - 5 * (10) ÷ 2

Now we will focus on the exponent:

$2^3$ - 5 * 10 ÷ 2

8 - 5 * 10 ÷ 2

Now Multiplication/Division.

This is where you must follow the order in the equation where you see the multiplication sign first, so you multiply first.

8 - 5 * 10 ÷ 2

8 - 50 ÷ 2

Next, Divide:

8 - 50 ÷ 2

8 - 25

Subtract:

8 - 25

-17

$2^3$ - 5 * (6 + 4) ÷ 2 = -17.
