3 0

Answer: y ≈ 10.6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The cosine function relates the adjacent side to the hypotenuse in a right triangle. The side adjacent to the 20° angle is 10 cm.

cos(20°) = (10 cm)/y

y = (10 cm)/cos(20°)

y ≈ 10.6 cm

Review the following information about vectors q and r.
Vitek1552 [10]
<h3>Answer:  a = -1  (fourth choice)</h3>

==========================================

Work Shown:

q = (-4, 1) is one vector

r = (a,3) is another vector

The resultant vector is

q+r = (-4,1)+(a,3)

q+r = (-4+a,1+3)

q+r = (-4+a,4)

Multiply both sides by 7

7(q+r) = 7*(-4+a,4)

7(q+r) = (7*(-4+a),7*4)

7(q+r) = (-28+7a, 28)

---------------

Since 7(q+r) = (-35, 28), we know that,

(-28+7a, 28) =  (-35, 28)

which leads to

-28 + 7a = -35

when we equate the x components of each vector. Let's solve for 'a'

-28 + 7a = -35

7a = -35+28

7a = -7

a = -7/7

a = -1

--------------

Check:

q = (-4,1)

r = (a,3) = (-1,3)

q+r = (-4,1)+(-1,3)

q+r = (-4+(-1), 1+3)

q+r = (-5, 4)

7*(q+r) = 7*(-5, 4)

7*(q+r) = (7*(-5), 7*4)

7*(q+r) = (-35, 28)

The answer is confirmed.

The number of years a radio functions is exponentially distributed with parameter λ = 1 8 . If Jones buys a used radio, what is
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

P(X>8)=e^{-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential distribution is "the probability distribution of the time between events in a Poisson process (a process in which events occur continuously and independently at a constant average rate). It is a particular case of the gamma distribution". The probability density function is given by:

P(X=x)=\lambda e^{-\lambda x}, x>0

And 0 for other case. Let X the random variable that represent "The number of years a radio functions" and we know that the distribution is given by:

X \sim Exp(\lambda=\frac{1}{8})

We can assume that the random variable t represent the number of years that the radio is already here. So the interest is find this probability:

P(X>8|X>t)

We have an important property on the exponential distribution called "Memoryless" property and says this:

P(X>a+t| X>t)=P(X>a)

Where a represent a shift and t the time of interest.

On this case then P(X>8|X>t)=P(X>8+t|X>t)=P(X>8)

We can use the definition of the density function and find this probability:

P(X>8)=\int_{8}^{\infty} \frac{1}{8}e^{-\frac{1}{8}x}dx

=\frac{1}{8} \int_{8}^{\infty} e^{-\frac{1}{8}x}dx

=[lim_{x\to\infty} (-e^{-\frac{1}{8}x})+e^{-1}]=0+e^{-1}=e^{-1}
