Answer:

so we have 4(3x + 10)

then we are going to take the 4 and distribute it into our problem

so: 4(times)3x and then 4( times)10

to get :

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Answer:

A point in polar coordinates is written as (R, θ)

If we want to transform this point to rectangular coordinates, we get:

x = R*cos(θ)

y = R*sin(θ)

Now we can remember that the sine and cosine functions have a period of 2*pi, then:

cos(θ) = cos(θ + 2*pi)

or:

cos(θ) = cos(θ + 2*pi + 2*pi)

and so on.

Then the point (R, θ) is the same as (R, θ + 2*pi) and (R, θ + k*(2*pi))

where k can be any integer number.

Then if we have a point in polar coordinates:

(-4, -5*π/3)

Then another two polar representations of this point are:

(-4, -5*π/3 + 2*π) = (-4, -5*π/3 + 6*π/3) = (-4, π/3)

Now we can not add 2*π (nor subtract) because we would have an angle outside the range [-2*π, 2*π]

For example, if we have:

(-4, π/3 + 2*π) = (-4, 7*π/3)

And we can not change the value of the radius and get the coordinates for the same point.

So another representation could be something like:

(-8/2, π/3)

Where i just wrote -4 in another way.

Now, a really important point.

When working with polar coordinates, we always use R as a positive number (here you can see that R is negative) so this is not the standard notation for the polar representation of a point.

Suppose the time a child spends waiting at for the bus as a school bus stop is exponentially distributed with mean 7 minutes. De

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

The probability that the child must wait between 6 and 9 minutes on the bus stop on a given morning is 0.148.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable <em>X</em> represent the time a child spends waiting at for the bus as a school bus stop.

The random variable <em>X</em> is exponentially distributed with mean 7 minutes.

Then the parameter of the distribution is, $\lambda=\frac{1}{\mu}=\frac{1}{7}$ .

The probability density function of <em>X</em> is:

$f_{X}(x)=\lambda\cdot e^{-\lambda x};\ x>0,\ \lambda>0$

Compute the probability that the child must wait between 6 and 9 minutes on the bus stop on a given morning as follows:

$P(6\leq X\leq 9)=\int\limits^{9}_{6} {\lambda\cdot e^{-\lambda x}} \, dx$

$=\int\limits^{9}_{6} {\frac{1}{7}\cdot e^{-\frac{1}{7} \cdot x}} \, dx \\\\=\frac{1}{7}\cdot \int\limits^{9}_{6} {e^{-\frac{1}{7} \cdot x}} \, dx \\\\=[-e^{-\frac{1}{7} \cdot x}]^{9}_{6}\\\\=e^{-\frac{1}{7} \cdot 6}-e^{-\frac{1}{7} \cdot 9}\\\\=0.424373-0.276453\\\\=0.14792\\\\\approx 0.148$
