Answer:

a) 0.96

b) 0.016

c) 0.018

d) 0.982

e) x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given with the Probability density function f(x)= 2/x^3 where x > 1.

<em>Firstly we will calculate the general probability that of P(a < X < b) </em>

       P(a < X < b) =  \int_{a}^{b} \frac{2}{x^{3}} dx = 2\int_{a}^{b} x^{-3} dx

                            = 2[ \frac{x^{-3+1} }{-3+1}]^{b}_a   dx    { Because \int_{a}^{b} x^{n} dx = [ \frac{x^{n+1} }{n+1}]^{b}_a }

                            = 2[ \frac{x^{-2} }{-2}]^{b}_a = \frac{2}{-2} [ x^{-2} ]^{b}_a

                            = -1 [ b^{-2} - a^{-2}  ] = \frac{1}{a^{2} } - \frac{1}{b^{2} }

a) Now P(X < 5) = P(1 < X < 5)  {because x > 1 }

     Comparing with general probability we get,

     P(1 < X < 5) = \frac{1}{1^{2} } - \frac{1}{5^{2} } = 1 - \frac{1}{25} = 0.96 .

b) P(X > 8) = P(8 < X < ∞) = 1/8^{2} - 1/∞ = 1/64 - 0 = 0.016

c) P(6 < X < 10) = \frac{1}{6^{2} } - \frac{1}{10^{2} } = \frac{1}{36} - \frac{1}{100 } = 0.018 .

d) P(x < 6 or X > 10) = P(1 < X < 6) + P(10 < X < ∞)

                                = (\frac{1}{1^{2} } - \frac{1}{6^{2} }) + (1/10^{2} - 1/∞) = 1 - 1/36 + 1/100 + 0 = 0.982

e) We have to find x such that P(X < x) = 0.75 ;

               ⇒  P(1 < X < x) = 0.75

               ⇒  \frac{1}{1^{2} } - \frac{1}{x^{2} } = 0.75

               ⇒  \frac{1} {x^{2} } = 1 - 0.75 = 0.25

               ⇒  x^{2} = \frac{1}{0.25}   ⇒ x^{2} = 4 ⇒ x = 2  

Therefore, value of x such that P(X < x) = 0.75 is 2.

An n × n matrix B has characteristic polynomial p(λ) = −λ(λ − 3) 3 (λ − 2) 2 (λ + 1). Which of the following statements is false
asambeis [7]

Answer:

Only d) is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p=p(\lambda)=\lambda(\lambda-3)^3 (\lambda-2)^2 (\lambda+1) be the characteristic polynomial of B.

a) We use the rank-nullity theorem. First, note that 0 is an eigenvalue of algebraic multiplicity 1. The null space of B is equal to the eigenspace generated by 0. The dimension of this space is the geometric multiplicity of 0, which can't exceed the algebraic multiplicity. Then Nul(B)≤1. It can't happen that Nul(B)=0, because eigenspaces have positive dimension, therfore Nul(B)=1 and by the rank-nullity theorem, rank(B)=7-nul(B)=6 (B has size 7, see part e)

b) Remember that p(\lambda)=\det(B-\lambda I). 0 is a root of p, so we have that p(0)=\det(B-0 I)=\det B=0.

c) The matrix T must be a nxn matrix so that the product BTB is well defined. Therefore det(T) is defined and by part c) we have that det(BTB)=det(B)det(T)det(B)=0.

d) det(B)=0 by part c) so B is not invertible.

e) The degree of the characteristic polynomial p is equal to the size of the matrix B. Summing the multiplicities of each root, p has degree 7, therefore the size of B is n=7.

Using a directrix of y = −2 and a focus of (1, 6), what quadratic function is created? Question 3 options:
deff fn [24]

If your directrix is a "y=" line, that means that the parabola opens either upwards or downwards (as opposed to the left or the right). Because it is in the character of a parabola to "hug" the focus, our parabola opens upwards. The vertex of a parabola sits exactly halfway between the directrix and the focus. Since our directrix is at y = -2 and the focus is at (1, 6) AND the parabola opens upward, the vertex is going to sit on the main transversal, which is also the "line" the focus sits on. The focus is on the line x = 1, so the vertex will also have that x coordinate. Halfway between the y points of the directrix and the focus, -2 and 6, respectively, is the y value of 2. So the vertex sits at (1, 2). The formula for this type of parabola is (x-h)^2=4p(y-k) where h and k are the coordinates of the vertex and p is the DISTANCE that the focus is from the vertex. Our focus is 4 units from the vertex, so p = 4. Filling in our h, k, and p: (x-1)^2=4(4)(y-2). Simplifying a bit gives us (x-1)^2=16(y-2). We can begin to isolate the y by dividing both sides by 16 to get \frac{1}{16}(x-1)^2=y-2. Then we can add 2 to both sides to get the final equation f(x)=\frac{1}{16}(x-1)^2+2, choice 4 from above.

Can anyone help me I was self isolating when my class was taught this and I can't get in contact with my teacher
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3x +2y = 13   -----------------(i)

x + 2y = 7    ----------------(ii)

Multiply the equation (ii) by (-1) and then add.

(i)              3x + 2y = 13

(ii)*(-1)      <u>-x    - 2y = -7 </u>        {Now, add and y will be eliminated}

                 2x       = 6

                        x = 6/2

x = 3

Plug in x = 3 in equation (i)

3*3 + 2y = 13

  9 + 2y = 13

         2y= 13 - 9

         2y = 4

           y = 4/2

y = 2
