Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the altitude from B to AC intersect at point D.  Then BD is a height of the triangle with base AC

ΔABD is a 30-60-90 triangle since m∠A = 30

Therefore, AB = 2(BD)  or BD = AB/2 = (x+3)/2

Area of the triangle = bh/2 = AC(BD)/2 = 4x(x + 3)/(2)(2)

= x(x + 3) = 18

x^{2} + 3x = 18

x^{2} + 3x - 18 = 0

(x + 6)(x - 3) = 0

x = -6  or x = 3

x cannot equal -6, so x = 3

What is the radius of a circle with a circumference of 36(3.14) cm
mart [117]
It should be 18, because despite of 3,14, because that's pi and radius is half of the diameter, so36 divide 2 is 18.

Audrey, an astronomer is searching for extra-solar planets using the technique of relativistic lensing. Though there are believe
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The model N (t), the number of planets found up to time t, as a Poisson process. So, the N (t) has distribution of Poison distribution with parameter (\lambda t)

a)

The mean for a month is, \lambda = \frac{1}{3} per month

E[N(t)]= \lambda t\\\\=\frac{1}{3}(24)\\\\=8

(Here. t = 24)

For Poisson process mean and variance are same,

Var[N (t)]= Var[N(24)]\\= E [N (24)]\\=8

 

(Poisson distribution mean and variance equal)

 

The standard deviation of the number of planets is,

\sigma( 24 )] =\sqrt{Var[ N(24)]}=\sqrt{8}= 2.828

b)

For the Poisson process the intervals between events(finding a new planet) have  independent  exponential  distribution with parameter \lambda. The  sum  of K of these  independent exponential has distribution Gamma (K, \lambda).

From the given information, k = 6 and \lambda =\frac{1}{3}

Calculate the expected value.

E(x)=\frac{\alpha}{\beta}\\\\=\frac{K}{\lambda}\\\\=\frac{6}{\frac{1}{3}}\\\\=18

(Here, \alpha =k and \beta=\lambda)                                                                      

C)

Calculate the probability that she will become eligible for the prize within one year.

Here, 1 year is equal to 12 months.

P(X ≤ 12) = (1/Г  (k)λ^k)(x)^(k-1).(e)^(-x/λ)

=\frac{1}{Г  (6)(\frac{1}{3})^6}(12)^{6-1}e^{-36}\\\\=0.2148696\\=0.2419\\=21.49%

Hence, the required probability is 0.2149 or 21.49%
