Describe a point. what could you use as a model of a point ?

1 answer:

A point is an exact location.
It has no length, width, or height.
It has no area or volume.
It has no mass, shape, or other physical properties.

As a model ...

-- you could use the period at the end of a sentence printed on paper.
It looks like this ==> ·

-- You could use the point of a very sharp pencil.

-- You could use the tiny dot that the point of
a very sharp pencil makes on paper.

-- You could use the point of a pin.

-- You could use the tiny hole that the point of
a pin makes in a sheet of paper.

These are all bigger than a real point. They all have a little bit of size,
length, width, height, and you can see them. But they get the idea across.
(They 'make the point'.)

A fence is to be built to enclose a rectangular area of 260 square feet. The fence along three sides is to be made of material t

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

Length of the rectangle = 9.58 feet and width = 27.14 foot

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangular area is = x feet

and the width of the area = y feet

Area of the rectangle = xy square feet

Or xy = 260

y = $\frac{260}{x}$ -------(1)

Cost to fence the three sides = $3 per foot

Therefore cost to fence one length and two width of the rectangular area

= 3(x + 2y)

Similarly cost to fence the fourth side = $14 per foot

So, the cost of the remaining length = 14x

Total cost to fence = 3(x + 2y) + 14x

Cost (C) = 3(x + 2y) + 14x

C = 3x + 6y + 14x

= 17x + 6y

From equation (1)

C = $17x+\frac{260\times 6}{x}$

Now we take the derivative,

C' = 17 - $\frac{1560}{x^{2} }$

To minimize the cost of fencing,

C' = 0

17 - $\frac{1560}{x^{2} }$ = 0

$\frac{1560}{x^{2} }$ = 17

$x^{2} =\frac{1560}{17}$

$x=\sqrt{\frac{1560}{17} }$

x = 9.58 foot

and y = $\frac{260}{9.58}$

y = 27.14 foot

mina [271]

2x=2-9

21y=4-6x

2x=-7

6x=4-21y

x=-7/2

6(-7/2)=4-21y

-21=4-21y

-21-4=-21y

-25=-21y

y=-25/-21

:.y=1 4/21.

Using the Poisson distribution, the probabilities are given as follows:

A. 0.0888 = 8.88%.

B. 0.1354 = 13.54%.

C. 0.8646 = 86.46%.

<h3>What is the Poisson distribution?</h3>

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

$\mu$ is the mean in the given interval.

Item a:

10 hours, 2 calls per hour, hence the mean is given by:

$\mu = 2 \times 10 = 20$ .

The probability is P(X = 20), hence:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 20) = \frac{e^{-20}20^{20}}{(20)!} = 0.0888$

Item b:

1 hour, hence the mean is given by:

$\mu = 2$

The probability is P(X = 0), hence:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-2}2^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.1354$

Item c:

The probability is:

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.1354 = 0.8646$

Find the slope of the line that passes

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

-1/3 or -2/6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you pick two points, I did (-5,10) and (1,8). Then, because slope is y(2)-y(1)/ x(2)-x(1), the equation would be 8-10/1-(-5) which equals -2/6 which simplifies into -1/3.

(hope this helps!)
