Answer:
Length of XM is 5.5 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given △XYZ where MZ is the angle bisector of ∠YZX . we have to find the length of XM.
A triangle with vertices X, Y, and Z. Side XZ is base. A line segment drawn from Z to M bisects ∠YZX into two parts ∠YZM and ∠XZM.
YZ=7 units, XZ=11 units and YM=3.5 units
By angle bisector theorem which states that an angle bisector of an angle divides the opposite side in two segments that are proportional to the another two sides of the triangle.
Hence,
⇒
⇒ MX=5.5 units.
Hence, length of XM is 5.5 units.

Answer:
i) P(X<33) = 0.9232
ii) P(X>26) = 0.001
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>Step(i):-</em></u>
Given that the mean of the Population = 30
Given that the standard deviation of the Population = 4
Let 'X' be the Normal distribution
<u>Step(ii):-</u>
i)
Given that the random variable X = 33
>0
P(X<33) = P( Z<1.5)
= 1- P(Z>1.5)
= 1 - ( 0.5 - A(1.5))
= 0.5 + 0.4232
P(X<33) = 0.9232
<u>Step(iii) :-</u>
Given that the random variable X = 26
>0
P(X>26) = P( Z>3.5)
= 0.5 - A(3.5)
= 0.5 - 0.4990
= 0.001
P(X>26) = 0.001
Let . The tangent plane to the surface at (0, 0, 8) is
The gradient is
so the tangent plane's equation is
The normal vector to the plane at (0, 0, 8) is the same as the gradient of the surface at this point, (1, 1, 1). We can get all points along the line containing this vector by scaling the vector by , then ensure it passes through (0, 0, 8) by translating the line so that it does. Then the line has parametric equation
or ,
, and
.
(See the attached plot; the given surface is orange, (0, 0, 8) is the black point, the tangent plane is blue, and the red line is the normal at this point)
