Roads connecting the towns of Oceanside, River City, and Lake View form a triangle. The distance from Oceanside to River City is

38 kilometers. The distance from River City to Lake View is 26 kilometers. What is the smallest possible whole number of kilometers between Lake View and Oceanside?

Answer:

13 km

Step-by-step explanation:

By Triangle Inequality Theorem: The sum of two smallest sides is greater than the third side.

Small Values of X:

X + 26 > 38

X > 38 - 26

X > 12

If we know that 38 km is the longest side, then the sum of other two sides must be greater than 38 km. Therefore the minimum value of X is 13 km.

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

Point P is located at (-3,5)

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

P' (- 7, - 5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

A translation of 3 units to the left means subtractin 3 from the x- coordinate with no change to the y- coordinate, thus

P(- 3, 5 ) → (- 3 - 4, 5 ) → (- 7, 5 )

Under a reflection in the x- axis

a point (x, y ) → (x, - y ), thus

(- 7, 5 ) → P'(- 7, - 5 )

What are the ordered pairs of the

9966 [12]

Start by writing the system down, I will use $y$ to represent $f(x)$

$y=x^2-5x+3\wedge y=-3$

Substitute the fact that $y=-3$ into the first equation to get,

$-3=x^2-5x+3$

Simplify into a quadratic form ( $ax^2+bx+c=0$ ),

$x^2-5x+6=0$

Now you can use Vieta's rule which states that any quadratic equation can be written in the following form,

$x^2+x(m+n)+mn=0$

which then must factor into

$(x+m)(x+n)=0$

And the solutions will be $m,n$ .

Clearly for small coefficients like ours $5,6$ , this is very easy to figure out. To get 5 and 6 we simply say that $m=3, n=2$ .

This fits the definition as $5=3+2$ and $6=2\cdot3$ .

So as mentioned, solutions will equal to $m=3, n=2$ but these are just x-values in the solution pairs of a form $(x,y)$ .

To get y-values we must substitute 3 for x in the original equation and then also 2 for x in the original equation. Luckily we already know that substituting either of the two numbers yields a zero.

So the solution pairs are $(2,0)$ and $(3,0)$ .

Hope this helps :)
