9514 1404 393

Answer:

  14 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of lengths is ...

  shortest : longest = (2/3) : 1 = 2 : 3

Then the ratio of the shortest to the total is ...

  shortest : (shortest +longest) = 2 : (2 +3) = 2/5

The shortest piece length is ...

  (2/5)×(35 ft) = 14 ft

The shorter piece of the board is 14 ft long.

Let R = [ 0 , 1 ] × [ 0 , 1 ] R=[0,1]×[0,1]. Find the volume of the region above R R and below the plane which passes through th
Bond [772]

The three vectors \langle0,0,1\rangle, \langle1,0,8\rangle, and \langle0,1,9\rangle each terminate on the plane. We can get two vectors that lie on the plane itself (or rather, point in the same direction as vectors that do lie on the plane) by taking the vector difference of any two of these. For instance,

\langle1,0,8\rangle-\langle0,0,1\rangle=\langle1,0,7\rangle

\langle0,1,9\rangle-\langle0,0,1\rangle=\langle0,1,8\rangle

Then the cross product of these two results is normal to the plane:

\langle1,0,7\rangle\times\langle0,1,8\rangle=\langle-7,-8,1\rangle

Let (x,y,z) be a point on the plane. Then the vector connecting (x,y,z) to a known point on the plane, say (0, 0, 1), is orthogonal to the normal vector above, so that

\langle-7,-8,1\rangle\cdot(\langle x,y,z\rangle-\langle0,0,1\rangle)=0

which reduces to the equation of the plane,

-7x-8y+z-1=0\implies z=7x+8y+1

Let z=f(x,y). Then the volume of the region above R and below the plane is

\displaystyle\int_0^1\int_0^1(7x+8y+1)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy=\boxed{\frac{17}2}

I think it is b because probability of 2 is 1/6 then probability of 4 is 1/6. If you times them together 1/6x1/6 it will equal 1/36 so b
