Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be a random variable representing the number of guesses made for the sat questions.

Since the probability of getting the correct answer to a question is fixed for any number of trials and the outcome is either getting it correctly or not, then it is a binomial distribution. The probability of success, p = 0.2

Probability of failure, q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8

the probability that the number x of correct answers is fewer than 4 is expressed as

P(x < 4)

From the binomial distribution calculator,

P(x < 4) = 0.97

Step-by-step explanation:

the volume of a rotating solid out of an xy area in a certain interval is pi times the integral of that area squared (because we are emulating adding the volumes of cylinder slices) in that interval along the given axis.

if that area is defined as the difference between 2 curves, then that difference (of the squares) has to be integrated.

the "outer" curve is y = x² + 3 = R, because it has always the larger y values compared to y = 2x + 1 = r.

the volume of an outer cylinder slice is

pi × R² × dx

and of an internal cylinder slice is

pi × r² × dx

therefore, the volume of the difference "washer" cylinder is

pi×R²×dx - pi×r²×dx = pi×(R² - r²)×dx

and now integrating the infinitely thin washers across the interval [0, 2].

R² = (x²+3)² = x⁴ +6x² + 9

r² = (2x+1)² = 4x² + 4x + 1

R² - r² = x⁴ + 2x² - 4x + 8

the integral of (R² - r²)dx :

1/5 x⁵ + 2/3 x³ - 4/2 x² + 8x = 1/5 x⁵ + 2/3 x³ - 2x² + 8x

in the interval of [0, 2] that gives us

1/5 2⁵ + 2/3 2³ - 2×2² + 8×2 - 0 = 32/5 + 16/3 - 8 + 16 =

= 32/5 + 16/3 + 8 = 96/15 + 80/15 + 120/15 = 296/15

and as final step multiplying this by pi :

296pi/15 = 61.99409503... units³ ≈ 62 units³

How many solutions are there for 10(x + 4) – 3 = 14x + 1
oksano4ka [1.4K]
10(x+4)-3=14x+1
10(4x)-3=14x+1
40x-3=14x+1
37x=14x+1
37x=15x
X=2.5
Or your answer will be 37x=15x
