(2,8) and (-2,10)

y₂ - y₁ used to find the slope
x₂ - x₁

plug in the coordinates
10-8 = 2 all equals -1/2
-2-2 = -4 m=-1/2

plug one of the coordinates and the slope into y=mx+b, and solve
8=-1/2(2)+b
8=-1+b
9=b

Final Answer: y = -1/2x + 9

Solve for x in the equation 2x^2-4x-9=29

Andrews [41]

Answer:

x = 1 ±2sqrt(5)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2-4x-9=29

Add 9 to each each side

2x^2-4x-9+9=29+9

2x^2-4x=38

Divide by 2

2/2x^2-4/2x=38/8

x^2 -2x =19

Complete the square

x^2 -2x + (-2/2)^2 = 19 +(-2/2)^2

x^2 -2x +1 = 19+1

(x-1)^1=2 = 20

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((x-1)^2) = ±sqrt(20)

x-1 = ±sqrt(20)

Add 1 to each side

x-1+1 = 1 ±sqrt(20)

x = 1 ±sqrt(20)

Simplifying the square root of 20

x = 1 ±sqrt(4)sqrt(5)

x = 1 ±2sqrt(5)

The number of people arriving for treatment at an emergency room can be modeled by a Poisson process with a rate parameter of si

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

a) P(x=3)=0.089

b) P(x≥3)=0.938

c) 1.5 arrivals

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t be the time (in hours), then random variable X is the number of people arriving for treatment at an emergency room.

The variable X is modeled by a Poisson process with a rate parameter of λ=6.

The probability of exactly k arrivals in a particular hour can be written as:

$P(x=k)=\lambda^{k} \cdot e^{-\lambda}/k!\\\\P(x=k)=6^k\cdot e^{-6}/k!$

a) The probability that exactly 3 arrivals occur during a particular hour is:

$P(x=3)=6^{3} \cdot e^{-6}/3!=216*0.0025/6=0.089\\\\$

b) The probability that at least 3 people arrive during a particular hour is:

$P(x\geq3)=1-[P(x=0)+P(x=1)+P(x=2)]\\\\\\P(0)=6^{0} \cdot e^{-6}/0!=1*0.0025/1=0.002\\\\P(1)=6^{1} \cdot e^{-6}/1!=6*0.0025/1=0.015\\\\P(2)=6^{2} \cdot e^{-6}/2!=36*0.0025/2=0.045\\\\\\P(x\geq3)=1-[0.002+0.015+0.045]=1-0.062=0.938$

c) In this case, t=0.25, so we recalculate the parameter as:

$\lambda =r\cdot t=6\;h^{-1}\cdot 0.25 h=1.5$

The expected value for a Poisson distribution is equal to its parameter λ, so in this case we expect 1.5 arrivals in a period of 15 minutes.

$E(x)=\lambda=1.5$
