Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given line and passes through the given point.

Answer:

y = 3x + 2

y = 6x – 3

y = 2/3x + 6

y = –1/3x – 4

y = 2x + 1

Correct answer:

y = 3x + 2

Explanation:

Convert the equation to slope intercept form to get y = –1/3x + 2.  The old slope is –1/3 and the new slope is 3.  Perpendicular slopes must be opposite reciprocals of each other:  m1 * m2 = –1

With the new slope, use the slope intercept form and the point to calculate the intercept: y = mx + b or 5 = 3(1) + b, so b = 2

So y = 3x + 2

Military radar and missile detection systems are designed to warn a coutry of an enemy attack. Assume that a particular detectio
Tom [10]

Answer:

0.96 = 96% probability that at least one of them detect an enemy attack.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each radar, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it detects the attack, or it does not. The missiles are operated independently, which means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

Assume that a particular detection system has a 0.80 probability of detecting a missile attack.

This means that p = 0.8

If two military radars are installed in two different areas and they operate independently, the probability that at least one of them detect an enemy attack is

This is P(X \geq 1) when n = 2. So

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)

In which

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{2,0}.(0.8)^{0}.(0.2)^{2} = 0.04

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.04 = 0.96

0.96 = 96% probability that at least one of them detect an enemy attack.
