Answer:

a)yes

b)j+j+k+k+k

c) 5*4+3=20+3=23

d) 3*2+2*3=6+6=12

Step-by-step explanation:

a)Jorge wrote x as many times as there are segments, and also added the last segment, which is 3. so if you look at the graph, you can see that Jorge is correct.

sorry, I'm bad at explaining :(

Let us have four distinct collinear points $a,$ $b,$ $c,$ and $d$ on the cartesian plane. the point $c$ is such that $\dfrac{ab}

Deffense [45]

Start with a line segment connecting two points, A and B. $\dfrac{DA}{BA}=3$ means DA is 3 times longer than BA. Clearly, D cannot fall between A and B because that would mean DA is shorter than BA. So there are two possible locations where D can be placed on the line relative to A and B.

But with $\dfrac{DB}{BA}=2$ , or the fact that DB is 2 times longer than BA, we can rule out one of these positions; referring to the attachment, if we place D to the left of A, then DB would be 4 times longer than BA.

Finally, $\dfrac{AB}{CB}=\dfrac12$ , so that CB is 2 times longer than AB. Again we have two possible locations for point C (it cannot fall between A and B), but one of them forces C to occupy the same point as D. However, A, B, C, D are distinct, so C must fall to the left of A.

Now let $d$ be the length of AB. Then the length of CD in terms of $d$ is $4d$ . We have the coordinates of C and D, and the distance between them is $\sqrt{(4-0)^2+(0-4)^2}=4\sqrt2$ . So

$4d=4\sqrt2\implies d=\sqrt2$

The slope of the line through C and D is

$\dfrac{0-4}{4-0}=-1$

and so the equation of the line through these points is

$y-4=-(x-0)\implies x+y=4$

So the coordinates of A are $(x,y)=(x,4-x)$ . The distance between C and A is $d=\sqrt2$ , so we have

$\sqrt{(x-0)^2+(4-x-4)^2}=\sqrt{2x^2}=|x|\sqrt2=\sqrt2\implies|x|=1$

Since A falls to the right of C (in the $x,y$ plane, not just in the sketch), we know to take the positive value $x=1$ . Then the $y$ coordinate is $y=4-1=3$ .

All this to say that A is the point (1, 3), so

$2x+y=2+3=5$

"A study conducted at a certain college shows that 56% of the school's graduates find a job in their chosen field within a year

KiRa [710]

Answer:

99.27% probability that among 6 randomly selected graduates, at least one finds a job in his or her chosen field within a year of graduating.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each student, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they find a job in their chosen field within one year of graduating, or they do not. The probability of a student finding a job in their chosen field within one year of graduating is independent of other students. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

56% of the school's graduates find a job in their chosen field within a year after graduation.

This means that $p = 0.56$

Find the probability that among 6 randomly selected graduates, at least one finds a job in his or her chosen field within a year of graduating.

This is $P(X \geq 1)$ when n = 6.

Either none find a job, or at least one does. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

$P(X = 0) + P(X \geq 1) = 1$

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{6,0}.(0.56)^{0}.(0.44)^{6} = 0.0073$

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.0073 = 0.9927$

99.27% probability that among 6 randomly selected graduates, at least one finds a job in his or her chosen field within a year of graduating.
