Answer:

b) 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The required probability is ...

(24 -20)/(36 -20) = 4/16 = 1/4 = 0.25

<em>Comment on the attached graph</em>

The red line is the probability distribution function (pdf) for this uniform distribution. The green line is the cumulative distribution function (cdf) for this uniform distribution. It is the integral of the pdf.

The probability of interest is the value of the cdf at x=24. That value is 0.25, meaning the area under the pdf curve to the left of x=24 is 1/4 of the total area under the pdf curve. That proportion is what is calculated above.

Answer:

<em>x = 2.5</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

- 2x - ( - 5 - 4x ) = - 5 ( 2x - 7 )

- 2x + 5 + 4x = - 10x + 35

- 2x + 5 + 4x = - 10x + 35

- 2x + 4x + 10x = 35 - 5

12x = 30

<em>x = </em> $\frac{5}{2}$ <em> = 2.5</em>

Check the answer:

<em>L.H.S.</em> = - 2(2.5) - [ - 5 - 4(2.5) ] = <em>10</em>

<em>R.H.S.</em> = - 5 [ 2(2.5) - 7 ] = <em>10</em>

A stone dropped from a bridge strikes the water 2.2 s later. How high is the bridge above thewater

Let the only force acting on the ball is the gravity (free-failing) and the ball was initially stationary
vo = 0

s = vot + 1/2 gt^2

s = 1/2 x 10 x (2.2) ^2 = 24.2 m

Evaluate the limit

wel

We are given with a limit and we need to find it's value so let's start !!!!

${\quad \qquad \blacktriangleright \blacktriangleright \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{\sqrt{x}-\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2}}{x^{2}-16}}$

But , before starting , let's recall an identity which is the <em>main key</em> to answer this question

${\boxed{\bf{a^{2}-b^{2}=(a+b)(a-b)}}}$

Consider The limit ;

${:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{\sqrt{x}-\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2}}{x^{2}-16}}$

Now as directly putting the limit will lead to <em>indeterminate form 0/0.</em> So , <em>Rationalizing</em> the <em>numerator</em> i.e multiplying both numerator and denominator by the <em>conjugate of numerator </em>

${:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{\sqrt{x}-\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2}}{x^{2}-16}\times \dfrac{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2}}{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2}}}$

${:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{(\sqrt{x}-\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}{(x^{2}-4^{2})(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}}$

Using the above algebraic identity ;

${:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{(\sqrt{x})^{2}-(\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})^{2}}{(x-4)(x+4)(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}}$

${:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{x-(3\sqrt{x}-2)}{(x-4)(x+4)(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}}$

${:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{x-3\sqrt{x}+2}{\{(\sqrt{x})^{2}-2^{2}\}(x+4)(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}}$

${:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{x-3\sqrt{x}-2}{(\sqrt{x}-2)(\sqrt{x}+2)(x+4)(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}}$

Now , here we <em>need</em> to <em>eliminate (√x-2)</em> from the denominator somehow , or the limit will again be <em>indeterminate </em>,so if you think <em>carefully</em> as <em>I thought</em> after <em>seeing the question</em> i.e what if we <em>add 4 and subtract 4</em> in <em>numerator</em> ? So let's try !

${:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{x-3\sqrt{x}-2+4-4}{(\sqrt{x}-2)(\sqrt{x}+2)(x+4)(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}}$

${:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{(x-4)+2+4-3\sqrt{x}}{(\sqrt{x}-2)(\sqrt{x}+2)(x+4)(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}}$

Now , using the same above identity ;

${:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{(\sqrt{x}-2)(\sqrt{x}+2)+6-3\sqrt{x}}{(\sqrt{x}-2)(\sqrt{x}+2)(x+4)(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}}$

${:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{(\sqrt{x}-2)(\sqrt{x}+2)+3(2-\sqrt{x})}{(\sqrt{x}-2)(\sqrt{x}+2)(x+4)(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}}$

Now , take minus sign common in <em>numerator</em> from 2nd term , so that we can <em>take (√x-2) common</em> from both terms

${:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{(\sqrt{x}-2)(\sqrt{x}+2)-3(\sqrt{x}-2)}{(\sqrt{x}-2)(\sqrt{x}+2)(x+4)(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}}$

Now , take<em> (√x-2) common</em> in numerator ;

${:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{(\sqrt{x}-2)\{(\sqrt{x}+2)-3\}}{(\sqrt{x}-2)(\sqrt{x}+2)(x+4)(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}}$

Cancelling the <em>radical</em> that makes our <em>limit again and again</em> <em>indeterminate</em> ;

${:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{\cancel{(\sqrt{x}-2)}\{(\sqrt{x}+2)-3\}}{\cancel{(\sqrt{x}-2)}(\sqrt{x}+2)(x+4)(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}}$

${:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{(\sqrt{x}+2-3)}{(\sqrt{x}+2)(x+4)(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}}$

${:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{(\sqrt{x}-1)}{(\sqrt{x}+2)(x+4)(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}}$

Now , <em>putting the limit ;</em>

${:\implies \quad \sf \dfrac{\sqrt{4}-1}{(\sqrt{4}+2)(4+4)(\sqrt{4}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{4}-2})}}$

${:\implies \quad \sf \dfrac{2-1}{(2+2)(4+4)(2+\sqrt{3\times 2-2})}}$

${:\implies \quad \sf \dfrac{1}{(4)(8)(2+\sqrt{6-2})}}$

${:\implies \quad \sf \dfrac{1}{(4)(8)(2+\sqrt{4})}}$

${:\implies \quad \sf \dfrac{1}{(4)(8)(2+2)}}$

${:\implies \quad \sf \dfrac{1}{(4)(8)(4)}}$

${:\implies \quad \sf \dfrac{1}{128}}$

${:\implies \quad \bf \therefore \underline{\underline{\displaystyle \bf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{\sqrt{x}-\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2}}{x^{2}-16}=\dfrac{1}{128}}}}$
