Determine whether y varies directly with x. If so, find the constant of variation k.

kumpel [21]

Direct variation is y=kx, inverse variation is y=k/x....

-5y=-2x divide both sides by -5

y=2.5x

So this is a direct variation with a constant of 2.5

3. Assume that the likelihood of a child under the age of ten watching PBS is 0.76. Three children are

natta225 [31]

Using the binomial distribution, the probabilities are given as follows:

a) 0.4159 = 41.59%.

b) 0.5610 = 56.10%.

c) 0.8549 = 85.49%.

<h3>What is the binomial distribution formula?</h3>

The formula is:

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes.

n is the number of trials.

p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

For this problem, the values of the parameters are:

n = 3, p = 0.76.

Item a:

The probability is P(X = 2), hence:

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 2) = C_{3,2}.(0.76)^{2}.(0.24)^{1} = 0.4159$

Item b:

The probability is P(X < 3), hence:

P(X < 3) = 1 - P(X = 3)

In which:

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 3) = C_{3,3}.(0.76)^{3}.(0.24)^{0} = 0.4390$

Then:

P(X < 3) = 1 - P(X = 3) = 1 - 0.4390 = 0.5610 = 56.10%.

Item c:

The probability is:

$P(X \geq 2) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.4159 + 0.4390 = 0.8549$

Find an equation of the circle and sketch it if it has: Center on y=4, tangent x-axis at (–2, 0)

Digiron [165]

Answer:

$(x+2)^2+(y-4)^2=16$

OK, lets start by drawing a basic graph (the first one) so we can visualize.

We already know that the y coordinate of the circle's center is $4$ .

We know that the circle is tangent to the $X$ axis at $(-2,0)$

That means the x coordinate of the center has to be $-2$ , as the tangent is a point on the edge of the circle that touches a line at exactly one point.

The radius is the distance from the center of the circle to its edge. We know the center's location now, it is $(-2, 4)$ and a point on the edge of the circle (the tangent point) which is $(-2,0)$ . so the distance between the points is 4 which is the radius (you can use the distance formula, but it's quite oblivious.)

We can imagine the circle should look like this (the second one):

Now we can piece together an equation

The equation of a circle is $(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$ where $(h,k)$ is the center and $r$ is the radius. When we put the numbers in: we get $(x-(-2))^2+(y-(4))^2=4^2$ which can be simplified into $(x+2)^2+(y-4)^2=16$ which is the answer.
