Answer:

The coordinates of point M are (2,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the coordinates of point M by (x, y)

We have that the rate AM:MB is 1/2, so we can calculate x and y as follows:

x-coordinate of A is equal to -1, and x-coordinate of B is equal to 8, then:

AM:MB = [x - (-1)] / [8 - x] = 1/2

(x+1)/(8-x) = 1/2

2x+2 = 8-x

3x = 6

x = 2

y-coordinate of A is equal to -3, and y-coordinate of B is equal to 9, then:

AM:MB = [y - (-3)] / [9 - y] = 1/2

(y+3)/(9-y) = 1/2

2y+6 = 9-x

3y = 3

y = 1

So the coordinates of point M are x = 2 and y = 1 or (2,1)

Suppose that the distance, in miles, that people are willing to commute to work is an exponential random variable with a decay p

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

m = $\frac{1}{20}$
μ = 20
σ = 20

The probability that a person is willing to commute more than 25 miles is 0.2865.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential probability distribution is used to define the probability distribution of the amount of time until some specific event takes place.

A random variable X follows an exponential distribution with parameter m.

The decay parameter is, m.

The probability distribution function of an Exponential distribution is:

$f(x)=me^{-mx}\ ;\ m>0, x>0$

Given: The decay parameter is, $\frac{1}{20}$

X is defined as the distance people are willing to commute in miles.

The decay parameter is m = $\frac{1}{20}$ .
The mean of the distribution is: $\mu=\frac{1}{m}=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{20}}=20$ .
The standard deviation is: $\sigma=\sqrt{variance}= \sqrt{\frac{1}{(m)^{2}} } =\frac{1}{m} =\frac{1}{\frac{1}{20}} =20$

Compute the probability that a person is willing to commute more than 25 miles as follows:

$P(X>25)=\int\limits^{\infty}_{25} {\frac{1}{20} e^{-\frac{1}{20}x}} \, dx \\=\frac{1}{20}|20e^{-\frac{1}{20}x}|^{\infty}_{25}\\=|e^{-\frac{1}{20}x}|^{\infty}_{25}\\=e^{-\frac{1}{20}\times25}\\=0.2865$

Thus, the probability that a person is willing to commute more than 25 miles is 0.2865.

For any integers x and y ,|x+y|=|x|+|y| Ture or False

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

yes because |x+y|=|x|+|y| is just the same equation just splitting the numbers

They both are the same absolute value equation

Step-by-step explanation:

|x+y|=|x|+|y|

x+y=|x|+|y|

x+y=x+y

An equation is shown below: 6x + 2x + 13 = 3x ? 12 Part A: Write the steps you will use to solve the equation. (4 points) Part B

Scilla [17]

Answer:

Part A

Add Like terms

6x + 2x + 13 = 3x - 12

8x + 13 = 3x - 12

get x on the left side

5x + 13 = -12

Subtract 13 from both sides

5x = -13 -12

5x = -25

Divide both sides by 5

x = -5
