(a) If <em>f(x)</em> is to be a proper density function, then its integral over the given support must evaulate to 1:

\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty f(x)\,\mathrm dx = \int_0^\infty cxe^{-x^2}\,\mathrm dx=1

For the integral, substitute <em>u</em> = <em>x</em> ² and d<em>u</em> = 2<em>x</em> d<em>x</em>. Then as <em>x</em> → 0, <em>u</em> → 0; as <em>x</em> → ∞, <em>u</em> → ∞:

\displaystyle\frac12\int_0^\infty ce^{-u}\,\mathrm du=\frac c2\left(\lim_{u\to\infty}(-e^{-u})-(-1)\right)=1

which reduces to

<em>c</em> / 2 (0 + 1) = 1   →   <em>c</em> = 2

(b) Find the probability P(1 < <em>X </em>< 3) by integrating the density function over [1, 3] (I'll omit the steps because it's the same process as in (a)):

\displaystyle\int_1^3 2xe^{-x^2}\,\mathrm dx = \boxed{\frac{e^8-1}{e^9}} \approx 0.3678

Answer:

y=-\frac{8}{7}x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

A line is perpendicular to another if its slope is the negative reciprocal of the other.

Your lines are in slope intercept form here, y=mx+b, where m is the slope. We can see the given line has slope \frac{7}{8}. The negative reciprocal of that is -\frac{8}{7}, which is the slope of the third answer choice.

Given the equation y = 3x − 4, what is the value of x when y = 5? A) 3 B) 6 C) 9 D) 12
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

A. 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer would be A because 3 times 3 is 9 and 9-4=5 which is the value o f y. 3x-4=5

add 4 to both sides: 3x=5+4

simplify: 5+4=9

divide both sides by 3:  x= 9/3

simplify 9/3 to 3:

x= 3

hope this helps!!

Answer:

See attached graph for the first part

Answer to second part: The end part of the graph show the slowest increase

Step-by-step explanation:

The attached picture represents the number of infected people, starting with a relatively small number at the origin of the horizontal axis (x=0, or time=0) then increasing abruptly in the center of the graph with steep slope. and then infection slowing down (although still slowly increasing) in the region highlighted in yellow to the right of the graph.
