Answer:

x = 18or x = - 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 2x = 360 ( subtract 360 from both sides )

x² + 2x - 360 = 0 ← quadratic in standard form

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 360) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 2)

The factors are + 20 and - 18, since

20 × - 18 = - 360 and 20 - 18 = 2 , thus

(x + 20)(x - 18) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 20 = 0 ⇒ x = - 20

x - 18 = 0 ⇒ x = 18

Thus the number could be 18 or - 20

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

a) For this case we define the random variable as X ="waiting time during peak hours" and we know that this distribution follows an uniform distribution:

$X \sim Unif(a=0,b=8)$

Where a and b represent the limits of the distribution.

b) $f(x) = \frac{1}{8}= 0.125, a\leq x \leq b$

And the height for this case would be 0.125

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

For this case we define the random variable as X ="waiting time during peak hours" and we know that this distribution follows an uniform distribution:

$X \sim Unif(a=0,b=8)$

Where a and b represent the limits of the distribution.

Part b

For this case the density function would be given by:

$f(x) = \frac{1}{8}= 0.125, a\leq x \leq b$

And the height for this case would be 0.125

And $f(x)= 0$ for other case.
