Find an equation for the line that passes through the points (-6,-3) and (2,-1)

1 answer:

Makovka662 [10]3 years ago

6 0

Answer:

y = 1/4x - 1 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

(-6, -3) (2,-1)

y = -3 - (-1) = -2 = 1

x = -6 - 2 = -8 = 4

y = mx + b

-1 = 1/4(2) + b

-1 = 1/2 + b

-1/2 -1/2

-1 1/2 = b

y = 1/4x - 1 1/2

The final equation is y equals one fourth x minus one and one half.

The lifetime X (in hundreds of hours) of a certain type of vacuum tube has a Weibull distribution with parameters α = 2 and β =

I'm assuming $\alpha$ is the shape parameter and $\beta$ is the scale parameter. Then the PDF is

$f_X(x)=\begin{cases}\dfrac29xe^{-x^2/9}&\text{for }x\ge0\\\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

a. The expectation is

$E[X]=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty xf_X(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac29\int_0^\infty x^2e^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx$

To compute this integral, recall the definition of the Gamma function,

$\Gamma(x)=\displaystyle\int_0^\infty t^{x-1}e^{-t}\,\mathrm dt$

For this particular integral, first integrate by parts, taking

$u=x\implies\mathrm du=\mathrm dx$

$\mathrm dv=xe^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx\implies v=-\dfrac92e^{-x^2/9}$

$E[X]=\displaystyle-xe^{-x^2/9}\bigg|_0^\infty+\int_0^\infty e^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm x$

$E[X]=\displaystyle\int_0^\infty e^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx$

Substitute $x=3y^{1/2}$ , so that $\mathrm dx=\dfrac32y^{-1/2}\,\mathrm dy$ :

$E[X]=\displaystyle\frac32\int_0^\infty y^{-1/2}e^{-y}\,\mathrm dy$

$\boxed{E[X]=\dfrac32\Gamma\left(\dfrac12\right)=\dfrac{3\sqrt\pi}2\approx2.659}$

The variance is

$\mathrm{Var}[X]=E[(X-E[X])^2]=E[X^2-2XE[X]+E[X]^2]=E[X^2]-E[X]^2$

The second moment is

$E[X^2]=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty x^2f_X(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac29\int_0^\infty x^3e^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx$

Integrate by parts, taking

$u=x^2\implies\mathrm du=2x\,\mathrm dx$

$\mathrm dv=xe^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx\implies v=-\dfrac92e^{-x^2/9}$

$E[X^2]=\displaystyle-x^2e^{-x^2/9}\bigg|_0^\infty+2\int_0^\infty xe^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx$

$E[X^2]=\displaystyle2\int_0^\infty xe^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx$

Substitute $x=3y^{1/2}$ again to get

$E[X^2]=\displaystyle9\int_0^\infty e^{-y}\,\mathrm dy=9$

Then the variance is

$\mathrm{Var}[X]=9-E[X]^2$

$\boxed{\mathrm{Var}[X]=9-\dfrac94\pi\approx1.931}$

b. The probability that $X\le3$ is

$P(X\le 3)=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^3f_X(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac29\int_0^3xe^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx$

which can be handled with the same substitution used in part (a). We get

$\boxed{P(X\le 3)=\dfrac{e-1}e\approx0.632}$

c. Same procedure as in (b). We have

$P(1\le X\le3)=P(X\le3)-P(X\le1)$

and

$P(X\le1)=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^1f_X(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac29\int_0^1xe^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx=\frac{e^{1/9}-1}{e^{1/9}}$

Then

$\boxed{P(1\le X\le3)=\dfrac{e^{8/9}-1}e\approx0.527}$

A particle moves on the hyperbola xy=18 for time t≥0 seconds. At a certain instant, y=6 and dydt=8. What is x that this instant?

professor190 [17]

Answer:

The value of x at this instant is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x\cdot y = 18$ , we get an additional equation by implicit differentiation:

$x\cdot \frac{dy}{dt}+y\cdot \frac{dx}{dt} = 0$ (1)

From the first equation we find that:

$x = \frac{18}{y}$ (2)

By applying (2) in (1), we get the resulting expression:

$\frac{18}{y}\cdot \frac{dy}{dt}+y\cdot \frac{dx}{dt} = 0$ (3)

$y\cdot \frac{dx}{dt}=-\frac{18}{y}\cdot \frac{dy}{dt}$

$\frac{dx}{dt} = -\frac{18}{y^{2}} \cdot \frac{dy}{dt}$

If we know that $y = 6$ and $\frac{dy}{dt} = 8$ , then the first derivative of x in time is:

$\frac{dx}{dt} = -\frac{18}{6^{2}} \cdot (8)$

$\frac{dx}{dt} = -4$

From (1) we determine the value of x at this instant:

$x\cdot \frac{dy}{dt} = -y\cdot \frac{dx}{dt}$

$x = -y\cdot \left(\frac{\frac{dx}{dt} }{\frac{dy}{dt} } \right)$

$x = -6\cdot \left(\frac{-4}{8} \right)$

$x = 3$

The value of x at this instant is 3.

Juniper wants to make a new rectangular garden in her backyard that has a length that is 2 more than twice the width. She needs

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

2x+2y ≤ 64

x=2y+2

Step-by-step explanation:

x = length

y = width

the length is 2 more than twice the width or 2 more than twice y

x = 2+2y

the perimeter of the garden = 2 times the length + 2 times the width

she have 64ft of wire so the perimeter should be equal or less than 64 ft

64 ≥ 2x + 2y
