Answer: 0.79

Step-by-step explanation:

I will suppose that this is not a continuos probability, as the individual probabilites add up to 100%.

If you want to obtain the probability that x ≤ 0, then you need to add the probability for the cases x= 0, x = -1, x = -2 .... etc

This is:

x = 0, p = .16

x = -2, p = .33

x = -3, p = .13

x = -5, p = .17

Then, the probability where x takes a negative value or zero {-5, -3, -2, 0} is:

P = 0.16 + 0.33 + 0.13 + 0.17 = 0.79

find two positive real numbers such that they sum to 108 and the product of the first times the square of the second is a maximu
topjm [15]

The two positive numbers are 36 and 72 which gives a sum equal to 108 and the product of 36 and the square of 72 is a maximum.

Any integer greater than zero is considered a positive number. A positive number can either be written as a number or with the "+" symbol in front of it.

Let us consider the two positive real numbers as x and y. Then, their sum is written as,

x+y=108

Then, y=108-x

And the product is written as,

P=xy²

Substitute value of y in the above equation, we get,

\begin{aligned}P&=x(108-x)^2\\&=x(11664-216x+x^2)\\&=11664x-216x^2+x^3\\&=x^3-216x^2+11664x\end{aligned}

Now, differentiate P with respect to x, and we get,

\begin{aligned}\frac{dP}{dx}&=3x^2-432x+11664\\&=x^2-144x+3888\end{aligned}

Solving the above equation to zero, we get,

\begin{aligned}x^2-144x+3888&=0\\x^2-36x-108x+3888&=0\\x(x-36)-108(x-36)&=0\\(x-108)(x-36)&=0\\x&=\text{108 or 36}\end{aligned}

Substitute values of x in y=108-x, to get values of y.

If we substitute x=108, we get the y value as zero which doesn't give the required solution.

But, if we substitute x=36, we get,

\begin{aligned}y&=108-36\\y&=72\end{aligned}

Thus, the two positive numbers are 36 and 72.

Find the distance between the parallel lines whose equationsare y =2x- 8 and y= 2x- 3
N76 [4]

Answer:

3.536 units

Step-by-step explanation:

on the x axis, the difference is 2.5

on the y axis, the difference is 5

5^2/2=d^2

25/2=d^2

d^2=12.5

d=3.536

The square of a negative number is twenty-eight more than three times the negative number. Find the number.
MAXImum [283]
The number is x

it is negative
the square is 28 more than 3 times itself
x²=28+3x
minus (28+3x)
x²-3x-28=0
factor
(x-7)(x+4)=0
set to zero

x-7=0
x=7
this is not the answer because we were told the number was negative


x+4=0
x=-4
correct

the number is -4
test
(-4)²=28+3(-4)
16=28-12
16=16
check


the number is -4
