Given:

A figure of a circle. KJ=6,KL=x-2,ML=4.

To find:

The length of KJ.

Solution:

From the given figure it is clear that the number 6 is marked between K and J it means the number 6 represents the distance between the points K and j.

Therefore, the length of KJ is 6 units.

Note: In the given question we need to find KL instead of KJ because KJ is already given.

According to the tangent secant theorem:

a^2=bc

Where,

  • a is the length of the tangent.
  • b is the length of the external segment of the secant.
  • c is the measure of the secant.

Using the tangent secant theorem, we get

ML^2=KL\times JL

(4)^2=(x-2)\times (6+x-2)

16=(x-2)\times (4+x)

16=4x+x^2-8-2x

On further simplification, we get

16=x^2+2x-8

0=x^2+2x-8-16

0=x^2+2x-24

Splitting the middle term, we get

x^2+6x-4x-24=0

x(x+6)-4(x+6)=0

(x+6)(x-4)=0

x=-6,4

For x=-6,

KJ=-6-2

KJ=-8, which is not possible because side cannot be negative.

For x=4,

KJ=4-2

KJ=2

Therefore, the measure of KL is 2 units.

Savatey [412]

Answer:

The probability that at lest one job will be missed in 57 second is=1- e^{-1.71} =0.819134

Step-by-step explanation:

Poisson distribution:

A discrete random variable X having the enumerable set {0,1,2,....} as the spectrum, is said to be Poisson distribution.

P(X=x)=\frac{e^{-\lambda t}({-\lambda t})^x}{x!}  for x=0,1,2...

λ is the average per unit time

Given that, a job arrives at a web server with the probability 0.03.

Here λ=0.03, t=57 second.

The probability that at lest one job will be missed in 57 second is

=P(X≥1)

=1- P(X<1)

=1- P(X=0)

=1-\frac{e^{-1.71}(1.71)^0}{0!}

=1- e^{-1.71}

=0.819134

Sav [38]
In the second one I'm pretty sure you just measure the length of the points.
