Answer:

The side length is multiplied by $\sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of the original square is equal to

$A=9^{2}=81\ in^{2}$

If the area is doubled

then

The area of the larger square is

$A1=(2)81=162\ in^{2}$

Remember that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

Let

z ----> the scale factor

x ----> the area of the larger square

y ---> the area of the original square

so

$z^{2}=\frac{x}{y}$

we have

$x=162\ in\^{2}$

$y=81\ in\^{2}$

$z^{2}=\frac{162}{81}$

$z^{2}=2$

$z=\sqrt{2}$ ------> scale factor

therefore

The side length is multiplied by $\sqrt{2}$

Serggg [28]

Answer:

$k = 1$

$P(x > 3y) = \frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$f \left(x,y \right) = \left{ \begin{array} { l l } { k , } & { 0 \leq x} \leq 2,0 \leq y \leq 1,2 y \leq x } & { \text 0, { elsewhere. } } \end{array} \right.$

Solving (a):

Find k

To solve for k, we use the definition of joint probability function:

$\int\limits^a_b \int\limits^a_b {f(x,y)} \, = 1$

Where

${ 0 \leq x} \leq 2,0 \leq y \leq 1,2 y \leq x }$

Substitute values for the interval of x and y respectively

So, we have:

$\int\limits^2_{0} \int\limits^{x/2}_{0} {k\ dy\ dx} \, = 1$

Isolate k

$k \int\limits^2_{0} \int\limits^{x/2}_{0} {dy\ dx} \, = 1$

Integrate y, leave x:

$k \int\limits^2_{0} y {dx} \, [0,x/2]= 1$

Substitute 0 and x/2 for y

$k \int\limits^2_{0} (x/2 - 0) {dx} \,= 1$

$k \int\limits^2_{0} \frac{x}{2} {dx} \,= 1$

Integrate x

$k * \frac{x^2}{2*2} [0,2]= 1$

$k * \frac{x^2}{4} [0,2]= 1$

Substitute 0 and 2 for x

$k *[ \frac{2^2}{4} - \frac{0^2}{4} ]= 1$

$k *[ \frac{4}{4} - \frac{0}{4} ]= 1$

$k *[ 1-0 ]= 1$

$k *[ 1]= 1$

$k = 1$

Solving (b): $P(x > 3y)$

We have:

$f(x,y) = k$

Where $k = 1$

$f(x,y) = 1$

To find $P(x > 3y)$ , we use:

$\int\limits^a_b \int\limits^a_b {f(x,y)}$

So, we have:

$P(x > 3y) = \int\limits^2_0 \int\limits^{y/3}_0 {f(x,y)} dxdy$

$P(x > 3y) = \int\limits^2_0 \int\limits^{y/3}_0 {1} dxdy$

$P(x > 3y) = \int\limits^2_0 \int\limits^{y/3}_0 dxdy$

Integrate x leave y

$P(x > 3y) = \int\limits^2_0 x [0,y/3]dy$

Substitute 0 and y/3 for x

$P(x > 3y) = \int\limits^2_0 [y/3 - 0]dy$

$P(x > 3y) = \int\limits^2_0 y/3\ dy$

Integrate

$P(x > 3y) = \frac{y^2}{2*3} [0,2]$

$P(x > 3y) = \frac{y^2}{6} [0,2]\\$

Substitute 0 and 2 for y

$P(x > 3y) = \frac{2^2}{6} -\frac{0^2}{6}$

$P(x > 3y) = \frac{4}{6} -\frac{0}{6}$

$P(x > 3y) = \frac{4}{6}$

$P(x > 3y) = \frac{2}{3}$
