Yes they are if that helps, if you still are unsure than just mesure them and you will see

If they are similar, then every similar side on the smaller triangle can be multiplied by 4.8 to get the similar side on the big triangle.

Please help me!<br> Find the number x such that f(x) =1
STatiana [176]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the piecewise function:

f(x) = \left\{        \begin{array}{ll}            -\frac{1}{2}x-1 & \quad x \leq -2 \\            x & \quad x > -2        \end{array}    \right.

And we want to find x such that f(x)=1.

So, let's substitute 1 for f(x):

1 = \left\{        \begin{array}{ll}            -\frac{1}{2}x-1 & \quad x \leq -2 \\            x & \quad x > -2        \end{array}    \right.

This has two equations. So, we can separate them into two separate cases. Namely:

1=-\frac{1}{2}x-1\text{ or } 1=x

Let's solve for x in each case.

Case I:

We have:

1=-\frac{1}{2}x-1

Add 1 to both sides:

2=-\frac{1}{2}x

Let's cancel out the fraction by multiplying both sides by -2. So:

2(-2)=(-2)\frac{-1}{2}x

The right side cancels:

-4=x\\

Flip:

x=-4

So, x is -4.

Case II:

We have:

1=x

Flip:

x=1

This is the solution for our second case.

So, we have:

x_1=-4\text{ or } x_2=1

Now, can check to see if we have to to remove solution(s) that don't work.

Note that x=-4 is the solution to our first equation.

The first equation is defined only if x is less than -2.

-4 <em>is </em>less than -2. So, x=-4 is indeed a solution.

x=1 is the solution to our second equation.

The second equation is defined only if x is greater than or equal to -2.

1 <em>is</em> greater than or equal to -2. So, x=1 is <em>also </em>a solution.

Therefore, our two solutions are:

x_1=-4\text{ or } x_2=1

Out of our answer choices, we can pick D.

And we're done!

quester [9]

Answer:

a) P=1-\frac{\lambda}{\mu}=1-\frac{20}{30}=0.33 and that represent the 33%

b) p_x =\frac{\lambda}{\mu}=\frac{20}{30}=0.66

c) L_s =\frac{20}{30-20}=\frac{20}{10}=2 people

d) L_q =\frac{20^2}{30(30-20)}=1.333 people

e) W_s =\frac{1}{\lambda -\mu}=\frac{1}{30-20}=0.1hours

f) W_q =\frac{\lambda}{\mu(\mu -\lambda)}=\frac{20}{30(30-20)}=0.0667 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Notation

P represent the probability that the employee is idle

p_x represent the probability that the employee is busy

L_s represent the average number of people receiving and waiting to receive some information

L_q represent the average number of people waiting in line to get some information

W_s represent the average time a person seeking information spends in the system

W_q represent the expected time a person spends just waiting in line to have a question answered

This an special case of Single channel model

Single Channel Queuing Model. "That division of service channels happen in regards to number of servers that are present at each of the queues that are formed. Poisson distribution determines the number of arrivals on a per unit time basis, where mean arrival rate is denoted by λ".

Part a

Find the probability that the employee is idle

The probability on this case is given by:

In order to find the mean we can do this:

\mu = \frac{1question}{2minutes}\frac{60minutes}{1hr}=\frac{30 question}{hr}

And in order to find the probability we can do this:

P=1-\frac{\lambda}{\mu}=1-\frac{20}{30}=0.33 and that represent the 33%

Part b

Find the proportion of the time that the employee is busy

This proportion is given by:

p_x =\frac{\lambda}{\mu}=\frac{20}{30}=0.66

Part c

Find the average number of people receiving and waiting to receive some information

In order to find this average we can use this formula:

L_s= \frac{\lambda}{\lambda -\mu}

And replacing we got:

L_s =\frac{20}{30-20}=\frac{20}{10}=2 people

Part d

Find the average number of people waiting in line to get some information.

For the number of people wiating we can us ethe following formula"

L_q =\frac{\lambda^2}{\mu(\mu-\lambda)}

And replacing we got this:

L_q =\frac{20^2}{30(30-20)}=1.333 people

Part e

Find the average time a person seeking information spends in the system

For this average we can use the following formula:

W_s =\frac{1}{\lambda -\mu}=\frac{1}{30-20}=0.1hours

Part f

Find the expected time a person spends just waiting in line to have a question answered (time in the queue).

For this case the waiting time to answer a question we can use this formula:

W_q =\frac{\lambda}{\mu(\mu -\lambda)}=\frac{20}{30(30-20)}=0.0667 hours

Please help I will mark brainliest I'm really in need now<br> (Please explain)
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

i think the second question (the choose the Function) means choose the function that has changed the most.

the first choose function one, i dont know but... according to wikipedia, "an initial value problem is an ordinary differential equation together with an initial condition which specifies the value of the unknown function at a given point in the domain. Modeling a system in physics or other sciences frequently amounts to solving an initial value problem." hope this helps
