Solve similar triangles (advanced)

Mathematics
1 answer:
SCORPION-xisa [38]3 years ago
3 0

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.

Answer:

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

The lifetime of two light bulbs are modeled as independent and exponential random variables X and Y, with parameters lambda and
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)
