Answer:

MK = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Rectangle means that the angles are all 90 degrees, so all the sides are not tilted in any direction. Meaning the JL = MK, therefore:

2x + 5 = 7x - 40

subtract 5 from both sides

2x = 7x - 45

subtract 7x from both sides

-5x = -45

divide by -5

x = 9

Now input 9 into the equation

MK = 7(9) - 40 = 63 - 40 = 23

Explain how you can use division to simplify a complex fraction.

PolarNik [594]

Reduce the final answer if needed (or reduce when you multiply). A mixed number should be converted to an improper fraction (heavier on top) before simplifying. Change the numerator and denominator to single fractions by creating a common denominator

Binomial distribution can be used because the situation satisfies all the following conditions:1. Number of trials is known and remains constant (n)2. Each trial is Bernoulli (i.e. exactly two possible outcomes) (success/failure)3. Probability is known and remains constant throughout the trials (p)4. All trials are random and independent of the othersThe number of successes, x, is then given by $P(x)=C(n,x)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}$ where $C(n,x)=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$
Here we're given
p=0.10 [ success = defective ]
n=3

(a) x=0
$P(x)=C(n,x)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}$
$=C(3,0)0.1^0(1-0.1)^{3-0}$
$=1(1)(0.729)$
$=0.729$

(b) x=2
$P(x)=C(n,x)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}$
$=C(3,2)0.1^2(1-0.1)^{3-2}$
$=3(0.01)(0.9)$
$=0.027$

(c) x ≥ 2
$P(x)=\sum_{x=2}^3C(n,x)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}$
$=P(2)+P(3)$
$=C(n,2)p^2(1-p)^{n-2}+C(n,3)p^3(1-p)^{n-3}$
$=C(3,2)0.1^2(1-0.1)^{3-2}+C(3,3)0.1^3(1-0.1)^{3-3}$
$=3(0.01)(0.9)+1(0.001)1$
$=0.027+0.001$
$=0.028$

How do I solve this literal equation? 15 points

kati45 [8]

Answer:

$\pi = \frac{A}{2r^2 + 2rh}$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to isolate $\pi$ by taking it common from both terms on the right:

$A=2\pi r^2 + 2\pi rh\\A=\pi (2r^2 + 2rh)$

Now, since we want $\pi$ in terms of the other variables, we can divide the left hand side (A) by whatever is multiplied with $\pi$ on the right hand side. Then we will have an expression for $\pi$ . Shown below:

$A=\pi (2r^2 + 2rh)\\\pi = \frac{A}{2r^2 + 2rh}$

This is the xpression for $\pi$
