two lines?

The distance between the intercepts of both lines is 2 units

The equation of a line in slope intercept form is:

$y = mx + b$

Where:

$m \to$ slope

$b \to$ y intercept

For the first line, we have:

$m_1 = 3$ ---- the slope

So, the equation of the first line is:

$y = 3x + b_1$

For the second line, we have:

$m_2 = 5$ --- the slope

So, the equation of the second line is:

$y = 5x + b_2$

Both lines intersect at (10,15) means that (10,15) is a common solution to the equation of both lines

i.e.

$(x,y) = (10,15)$

Substitute these values in the first equation and solve for b

$y = 3x + b_1$

$15 = 3*10 + b_1$

$15 = 30 + b_1$

$b_1 = 15 - 30$

$b_1 = -15$

So, the equation of the first line is

$y = 3x - 15$

Repeat the same process for the second line

$y = 5x + b_2$

$15 = 5*10 + b_2$

$15 = 50 + b_2$

$b_2 = 15 - 50$

$b_2 = -35$

So, the equation of the second line is

$y =5x - 35$

The x intercept is when $y =0$

So, we substitute 0 for y and solve for x in the equations of both lines

For line 1

$y = 3x - 15$

$0 = 3x - 15$

$3x= 15$ ---- Collect like terms

$x = 5$ --- Divide both sides by 3

The x intercept of line 1 is 5

For line 2

$y =5x - 35$

$0 = 5x - 35$

$5x = 35$ --- Collect like terms

$x = 7$ -- Divide both sides by 5

The x intercept of line 2 is 7

The distance (d) between both is the difference in the calculated intercepts:

$d = 7 - 5$

$d = 2$

What is the value of x?

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

x ≈ 8.66

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the sine ratio in the right triangle

sin60° = $\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{x}{10}$

Multiply both sides by 10

10 × sin60° = x, thus

x ≈ 8.66 ( to 2 dec. places )

Square of a standard normal: Warmup 1.0 point possible (graded, results hidden) What is the mean ????[????2] and variance ??????

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

$E[X^2]= \frac{2!}{2^1 1!}= 1$

$Var(X^2)= 3-(1)^2 =2$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can use the moment generating function for the normal model given by:

$\phi(t) = E[e^{tX}]$

And this function is very useful when the distribution analyzed have exponentials and we can write the generating moment function can be write like this:

$\phi(t) = C \int_{R} e^{tx} e^{-\frac{x^2}{2}} dx = C \int_R e^{-\frac{x^2}{2} +tx} dx = e^{\frac{t^2}{2}} C \int_R e^{-\frac{(x-t)^2}{2}}dx$

And we have that the moment generating function can be write like this:

$\phi(t) = e^{\frac{t^2}{2}$

And we can write this as an infinite series like this:

$\phi(t)= 1 +(\frac{t^2}{2})+\frac{1}{2} (\frac{t^2}{2})^2 +....+\frac{1}{k!}(\frac{t^2}{2})^k+ ...$

And since this series converges absolutely for all the possible values of tX as converges the series e^2, we can use this to write this expression:

$E[e^{tX}]= E[1+ tX +\frac{1}{2} (tX)^2 +....+\frac{1}{n!}(tX)^n +....]$

$E[e^{tX}]= 1+ E[X]t +\frac{1}{2}E[X^2]t^2 +....+\frac{1}{n1}E[X^n] t^n+...$

and we can use the property that the convergent power series can be equal only if they are equal term by term and then we have:

$\frac{1}{(2k)!} E[X^{2k}] t^{2k}=\frac{1}{k!} (\frac{t^2}{2})^k =\frac{1}{2^k k!} t^{2k}$

And then we have this:

$E[X^{2k}]=\frac{(2k)!}{2^k k!}, k=0,1,2,...$

And then we can find the $E[X^2]$

$E[X^2]= \frac{2!}{2^1 1!}= 1$

And we can find the variance like this :

$Var(X^2) = E[X^4]-[E(X^2)]^2$

And first we find:

$E[X^4]= \frac{4!}{2^2 2!}= 3$

And then the variance is given by:

$Var(X^2)= 3-(1)^2 =2$
