Answer:

The missing leg is 8 feet and the hypotenuse is 10 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem which is A²+B²=C².

So we know the first side is 6 so plug that into the equation which would now be 6²+B²=C².

Because the hypotenuse is 2 feet longer than the missing leg we can plug in C=B+2 which would now make it 6²+B²=(B+2)².

Now we solve what we have so far which would now make the equation 36+B²=B²+4B+ 4.

Now we can figure out that 4B=32.

Now isolate the variable, B, by divide both side of 4B=32 by 4.

This gives us B=8.

So the other side is 8 feet.

Since we know that the hypotenuse is 2 feet longer than the leg we just add 2 feet to the original 8 feet to find the hypotenuse to be 10 feet.

B) Evaluate the algebraic expression 2x2 + 5x +6 if x is equal to (-1).​
Korvikt [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

if x is equal to - 1

Then

2x² + 5x + 6

= 2* ( -1)² + 5 * (- 1) + 6

= 2 - 5 + 6

= 8 - 5

= 3

Hope it will help :)❤

Suppose that the useful life of a car battery, measured in months, decays with parameter 0.03 . We are interested in the life of
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

a) X ~ e(0.03)

b) μ = 100/3

c) \sigma = 100/3

d) A battery is expected to last 100/3 months (33 months and 10 days approximately).

e) For seven batteries, i would expect them to last 700/3 months (approximately 19 years, 5 months and 10 days).

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The life of a battery is usually modeled with an exponential distribution X ~ e(0.03)

b) The mean of X is μ = 1/0.03 = 100/3

c) The standard deviation is \sigma = 1/0.03 = 100/3

d) The expected value of the bateery life is equal to its mean, hence it is 100/3 months.

e) The expected value of 7 (independent) batteries is the sum of the expected values of each one, hence it is 7*100/3 = 700/3 months.
