A problem in mathematics is given to three students A, B and C whose chances of solving it are 1/3, 1/4 and 1/5 respectively. Fi

Tanya [424]

Answer:

i. 3/5

ii. 2/5

Explanation:

Solving the problem by any of the students A, B and C is an independent event as solution by one does not restrict the other one from solving

However, the problem will be solved if even one of them solves the question

Now Probability of not solving the question by A, B and C are

PA (not solving a problem) - 1-1/3 = 2/3

PB (not solving a problem) - 1-1/4 = 3/4

PC (not solving a problem) - 1-1/5 = 4/5

ii) Probability of not solving - 2/3*3/4*4/5 = 2 *1/5 = 2/5

i) Probability of solving - 1- Probability of not solving

= 1 - 2/5 = 3/5

On a coordinate plane, a line goes through (negative 3, negative 3) and (negative 1, 5). What is the equation of the line parall

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

y=4x-16

Explanation:

The general form of the equation of a line is: y=mx+x, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

Given points (-3,-3) and (-1,5)

We are to find the equation of the line parallel to the given line with an x-intercept of 4.

First, we determine the value of the gradient of the line.

Gradient,

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\=\frac{5-(-3)}{-1-(-3)} \\=\frac{5+3}{-1+3}\\=\frac{8}{2}\\m=4$

Two lines are parallel if their gradients $m_1 \: and \: m_2$ are equal.

The gradient of the line parallel to the given line $m_2=4$

Since the x-intercept of the new line is 4, a point on the new line, $(x_1,y_1)=(4,0)$

Substituting $(x_1,y_1)=(4,0)$ into the equation of a line: , $y-y_1=m(x-x_1),$ we have:

$y-0=4(x-4)\\$Therefore:\\y=4x-16$

Therefore, the equation of the line is: y=4x-16
