Answer:

Hypotenuse: 41 meters, Long leg: 40 meters, Short leg: 9 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the statement, we have the following information about the lengths of the right triangle:

Hypotenuse

$3\cdot x + 14$

Long leg

$3\cdot x + 13$

Short leg

$x$

By the Pythagoric Theorem, we have the following expression:

$(3\cdot x + 14)^{2} = x^{2} + (3\cdot x + 13)^{2}$ (1)

$9\cdot x^{2}+84\cdot x + 196 = x^{2} + 9\cdot x^{2} + 78\cdot x + 169$

$9\cdot x^{2} + 84\cdot x + 196 = 10\cdot x^{2} + 78\cdot x +169$

$x^{2} -6\cdot x -27 = 0$

$(x-9)\cdot (x+3) = 0$

As length is a positive variable by nature, then the only possible solution is $x = 9$ . Lastly, the side lengths of the right triangle are:

Hypotenuse: 41 meters, Long leg: 40 meters, Short leg: 9 meters.

In the diagram Shown a 2 foot wide flower border surrounds the heart shaped pond.What is the area of the border?

Dimas [21]

This figure is what we would call a composite figure. A composite figure is a shape that is made up of multiple other shapes. when looking at the pond and the border that surrounds it, we can see that this heart shape is made up of two semi circles and a square. To find the area of the border, we will use the area formulas for semi circles and for squares:

Semi Circle Area Formula: $\pi r^{2}$ ÷ 2
Square Area Formula: length x width

Pi = 3.14
Radius = Half of the diameter, in this case 6

After finding the area of each shape, we can subtract the 2 ft width to find the area of the flower bed border.

Which absolute value function has a graph that is wider than the parent function, f(x) = |x|, and is translated to the right 2 u

RoseWind [281]

Transformation involves changing the form of a function.

The absolute value function is $f(x)=0.3|x -2|$

The parent function of the absolute value function is:

$f(x)=|x|$

When the function is translated 2 units to the right, the new function is:

$f(x)=|x -2|$

From the function to be wider than the absolute function, the function must be stretched by a factor less than 1.

The possible function from the list of given options is $f(x)=0.3|x -2|$

Rewrite in simplest terms:

tangare [24]

Answer:

If one −5s−7(8s−1): -61s+7

If two −5s−7(8s−1): -112s+14

Step-by-step explanation:

-5s-7(8s-1)

Multiply -7 onto 8s and -1:

-5s-56s+7

add -5s and -56s:

-61s+7

−5s−7(8s−1)−5s−7(8s−1)

Multiply both -7 to 8s and -1

-5s-56s+7-5s-56s+7

add:

-112s+14

Suppose X, Y, and Z are random variables with the joint density function f(x, y, z) = Ce−(0.5x + 0.2y + 0.1z) if x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0, z

kompoz [17]

$f_{X,Y,Z}(x,y,z)=\begin{cases}Ce^{-(0.5x+0.2y+0.1z)}&\text{for }x\ge0,y\ge0,z\ge0\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

is a proper joint density function if, over its support, $f$ is non-negative and the integral of $f$ is 1. The first condition is easily met as long as $C\ge0$ . To meet the second condition, we require

$\displaystyle\int_0^\infty\int_0^\infty\int_0^\infty f_{X,Y,Z}(x,y,z)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dz=100C=1\implies \boxed{C=0.01}$

b. Find the marginal joint density of $X$ and $Y$ by integrating the joint density with respect to $z$ :

$f_{X,Y}(x,y)=\displaystyle\int_0^\infty f_{X,Y,Z}(x,y,z)\,\mathrm dz=0.01e^{-(0.5x+0.2y)}\int_0^\infty e^{-0.1z}\,\mathrm dz$

$\implies f_{X,Y}(x,y)=\begin{cases}0.1e^{-(0.5x+0.2y)}&\text{for }x\ge0,y\ge0\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

Then

$\displaystyle P(X\le1.375,Y\le1.5)=\int_0^{1.5}\int_0^{1.375}f_{X,Y}(x,y)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy$

$\approx\boxed{0.12886}$

c. This probability can be found by simply integrating the joint density:

$\displaystyle P(X\le1.375,Y\le1.5,Z\le1)=\int_0^1\int_0^{1.5}\int_0^{1.375}f_{X,Y,Z}(x,y,z)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dz$

$\approx\boxed{0.012262}$
