Find an equation of the straight line that is perpendicular to the straight line x+2y=5 and that passes through the point (3,7)

Answer: y = 2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:  

Rewrite the equation in standard form:

x+2y=5

2y = -x + 5

y = -(1/2)x + (5/2)

A line perpendicular to this would have a slope that is the negative inverse of the reference line slope, -(1/2), here.  The new slope would be 2.  The y-intercept, (5/2), will change, so we'll just use b for the new y-intercept, and calculate it later:

y = 2x +b

We know that point (3,7) lies on the new line (it is a solution to the equation), so we can use this point to find the new y-intercept, b.

7 = 2*3 + b

b = 1

The perpendicular line is y = 2x + 1, and goes through point (3,7)

Roll a die 10 sided die 3 times. What is the probability that the sequence is strictly increasing or decreasing?
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

The probability of obtaining a sequence which is neither strictly increasing nor decreasing in 0.76.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 10 possible outcomes on a single throw.

So, outcomes in 3 throws = 10^{3} =1000 outcomes.

Let x be the number of strictly increasing arrangements.

Let y be the number of strictly decreasing arrangements.

Let z be the number of outcomes that are neither strictly decreasing nor strictly increasing

So, we have x+y+z=1000

If we look at a strictly increasing arrangement from the other/opposite side, it will look like a strictly decreasing arrangement.

So, x = y

Hence, we can say the final equation will be :

2x+z=1000

And for strictly increasing arrangements ,all 3 numbers will be different and it can be done in 10C3 ways.

10C3=\frac{10!}{3!7!} = 120 ways

So, 2x=2\times120=240

Thus z=1000-240=760

So, the probability is = \frac{760}{1000} = 0.76

Therefore, the probability of obtaining a sequence which is neither strictly increasing nor decreasing in 0.76.
