Answer:

x = 9/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Locate point G on segment DE so that DG = 1 and GE = 4. CG is parallel to AD, so ΔCGE ~ ΔABC. Corresponding sides are proportional.

AB/BC = CG/GE

x/1 = 9/4

x = 9/4

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Using the given triangles, you can write the proportion statement as ...

(9+x)/x = 5/1

We judge this to take more steps to solve, so we prefer the method shown above.

$\huge \boxed{ \boxed{z = 3}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>to understand this</h3><h3>you need to know about:</h3>

equation
PEMDAS

<h3>let's solve:</h3>

$\sf simplify \: substraction : \\ \frac{3}{ \frac{z - 2}{z} } = 3z$
$\sf simplify \: complex \: fractio n : \\ \frac{3z}{z - 2} = 3z$
$\sf cross \: multiplication : \\ 3z = 3z(z - 2)$
$\sf divide \: both \: sides \: by \: 3z : \\ \frac{3z}{3z} = \frac{3z(z - 2)}{3z} \\ 1 = z - 2$
$\sf add \: 2 \: to \: bot h \: sides : \\ z - 2 + 2 = 1 + 2 \\ \therefore \: z = 3$

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

$\bf h(x)=max(\lambda,\mu) e^{-max(\lambda,\mu) x}\;(x\geq0)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The PDF of X is

$\bf f(x)=\lambda e^{-\lambda x}\;(x\geq0)$

The PDF of Y is

$\bf g(x)=\mu e^{-\mu x}\;(x\geq0)$

The means of X and Y are respectively,

$\bf \displaystyle\frac{1}{\lambda}\;,\displaystyle\frac{1}{\mu}$

so we can see that the larger the parameter, the smaller the mean. Hence the PDF of Z = min(X, Y) is an exponential with the largest parameter of the two.

Therefore, the PDF of Z is

$\bf h(x)=max(\lambda,\mu) e^{-max(\lambda,\mu) x}\;(x\geq0)$
