Explain why partitioning a directed line segment into a

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is actually a very important question and it is very subtle. Let's just take an ordinary segment.

Suppose we have a segment that is this long

=========o=========

The segment up to the o is nine equal signs long.

The segment after the o is also nine equal signs long.

Here's the crunch. Since they are equal, the ratio is 1 to 1. The segment is divided in half.

Now take the second half of the question.

======o============

The left side of the o is 6 equal signs long.

The right side of the o is 12 equal signs long.

The ratio is 1:2. There are still 18 equal signs but now they are divided as 6/12 which is not the same thing as 9/9

Very interesting question.

Answer:

A ratio of 1:2 means that there are 3 parts in total. One part will be before the desired point, and 2 parts will be after the desired point. This is the same as finding the point that is 1/3 the length. Half the length of the segment would mean there would only be two pieces, each of equal size.

Answer :

Length of rectangle = 14m

Width of rectangle = 12m

Explanation :

p = 2l + 2w = 68

l = w + 2

Substitute:

68 = 2(w + 2) + 2w

68 = 2w + 4 + 2w

4w = 64

w = 16

l = 18


I hope this helped out, have a nice day! :D

What is the asymptote of the graph of f(x)=5x−1?
Marina86 [1]

The asymptotes of the graph of f(x) = \frac{5}{x - 1} are as follows:

  • Vertical: x = 1.
  • Horizontal: y = 0.

<h3>What are the asymptotes of a function f(x)?</h3>

  • The vertical asymptotes are the values of x which are outside the domain, which in a fraction are the zeroes of the denominator.
  • The horizontal asymptote is the value of f(x) as x goes to infinity, as long as this value is different of infinity.

In this problem, the function is:

f(x) = \frac{5}{x - 1}

For the vertical asymptote, we have that:

x - 1 = 0 \rightarrow x = 1.

For the horizontal asymptote, we have that:

y = \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} f(x) = \frac{5}{\infty - 1} = 0.

We have seen that the standard deviation σ measures the spread of a data set about the mean μ. Chebyshev’s inequality gives an e
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

100

Step-by-step explanation:

First we find the mean of this set of data.  We find the mean by finding the sum of data values and dividing it by the number of data values:

5+10+10+10+10+10+10+15 = 80

There are 8 data values; 80/8 = 10.  The mean is 10.

To find the standard deviation, subtract the mean from each value; square the difference; add the squares; divide by the number of data values; and take the square root:

5-10 = -5; 10-10 = 0; 10-10 = 0; 10-10 = 0; 10-10 = 0; 10-10 = 0; 10-10 = 0; 15-10 = 5

(-5)^2 = 25; 0^2 = 0; 0^2 = 0; 0^2 = 0; 0^2 = 0; 0^2 = 0; 0^2 = 0; 5^2 = 25

25+0+0+0+0+0+0+25 = 50

50/8 = 6.25

√6.25 = 2.5

The standard deviation is 2.5.

This means two standard deviations, or 2σ, is 2(2.5) = 5.

This gives us μ-2σ = 10-5 = 5 and μ+2σ = 10+5 = 15.

Since all of our data is between 5 and 15, 100% is within two standard deviations of the mean.
