AB and BC are tangents to P. what is the value of x? this is really so confusing

Mathematics

Westkost [7]4 years ago
4 0
1. Angle PAB is 90 degrees, as it is formed from the tanget to the circle at A, and the radius drawn to A. 

2. AB=BC, because tangents drawn to a circle from the same point are equal.

3. PB is Common, so by the side-side-side congruence postulate, triangles ABP and CBP are congruent. 

4. So measure of m(BPA)=x/2 and m(ABP)=73/2.

5. \frac{x}{2}+90+ \frac{73}{2}=180

\frac{x+73}{2}=90

x+73=180, x= 107 degrees.

Pauley graphs the change in temperature of a glass of hot tea over time. He sees that the function appears to decrease quickly a
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer: We know that an "exponential growth" is that where a function start growing slowly and after start increasing more quickly.

a "logarithmic growth" is the opposite of this, at first you will see a quick increase, that after some time gets slower.

But in this case we are searching for decays: The decays are the opposite of the growths, an "logarithmic decay" starts slow and gets faster latter, and an "exponential decay" decreases very quickly at first, and latter more slowly.

Then, the model for the temperature of the hot tea over the time is a "exponential decay", this is a function of the form T(x) = T₀e^{-kt}, where T₀ is the initial temperature, t is the time, and k is a constant number.

A source of information randomly generates symbols from a four letter alphabet {w, x, y, z }. The probability of each symbol is
koban [17]

The expected length of code for one encoded symbol is

\displaystyle\sum_{\alpha\in\{w,x,y,z\}}p_\alpha\ell_\alpha

where p_\alpha is the probability of picking the letter \alpha, and \ell_\alpha is the length of code needed to encode \alpha. p_\alpha is given to us, and we have

\begin{cases}\ell_w=1\\\ell_x=2\\\ell_y=\ell_z=3\end{cases}

so that we expect a contribution of

\dfrac12+\dfrac24+\dfrac{2\cdot3}8=\dfrac{11}8=1.375

bits to the code per encoded letter. For a string of length n, we would then expect E[L]=1.375n.

By definition of variance, we have

\mathrm{Var}[L]=E\left[(L-E[L])^2\right]=E[L^2]-E[L]^2

For a string consisting of one letter, we have

\displaystyle\sum_{\alpha\in\{w,x,y,z\}}p_\alpha{\ell_\alpha}^2=\dfrac12+\dfrac{2^2}4+\dfrac{2\cdot3^2}8=\dfrac{15}4

so that the variance for the length such a string is

\dfrac{15}4-\left(\dfrac{11}8\right)^2=\dfrac{119}{64}\approx1.859

"squared" bits per encoded letter. For a string of length n, we would get \mathrm{Var}[L]=1.859n.
