Suppose we have a stick of length 1.a) We randomly uniformly choose a point and break the stick into two pieces.Find the expected length of the smaller piece.b) We randomly uniformly choose two points (independently) and break thestick into three pieces. Find the probability that the three resulting piecescan be arranged to form a triangle (i.e. all triangle inequalities are satisfied;i.e no piece is longer than the sum of the other two).

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The smaller sticks will range in length from almost 0 unit up to a maximum of 0.5 unit, with each length equally possible.

Therefore, the average length will be about (0 + 0.5)/2 = 0.25 unit

2)If you assume that each break in the stick is uniformly distributed along the length of the stick and is independent of the location of the other break, then the odds are 25% that you will be able to form a triangle with the 3 pieces.

We'll call the length of the stick 1, so each break can occur at a position in the interval [0,1]. Let x and y represent the two breaks. Then we can look at the area of the region in the square bounded x=0, x=1, y=0, y=1, which represents combinations of x and y, for which we can form a triangle. Since the area of the whole square is 1, the area of the region inside is our probability.

If y>x, then the lengths of the pieces are x, y-x, and 1-y.

The triangle inequality must hold for each combination of edges.

for y>x ...

x+y−x≥1−y

x+1−y≥y−x

y−x+1−y≥x

these simplify to...

for y>x ...

y≥1/2

x+1/2≥y

x≤1/2

If we cut our 1x1 square into two triangles along the line x=y,

then the region in the upper triangle which satisfies the inequalities above forms a smaller triangle which connects the midpoints of the upper triangle.

The lower triangle (x>y), is just a reflection about x=y of the upper triangle, so together, the entire region looks like a bow-tie at a 45 degree angle.

This region takes up 25% of the square, so the probability that you can form a triangle is 25%

1) Jeffrey has two bags of marbles. One has a 2 green marbles and 3 red marbles. The second bag has a blue and 2 yellow marble. Darren draws one marble from each bag. What are all the possible outcomes? How large is the sample space?​

Answers

A sample space is the space of all the possible outcomes in this event.

Let's define each outcome as:

(first marble, second marble)

Where the first marble can be green or red.

The second marble can be blue or yellow.

Then the possible outcomes are:

(green, yellow)

(green, blue)

(red, yellow)

(red, blue)

So we have four different outcomes, which means that the sample space has 4 elements.

Notice that the number of marbles of each color does not affect this, these numbers only affect the probability of each one of these possible outcomes.

What is the slope of the function? Then changed the line so it had a slope of 2, but still went through the same point. Which equation should Alejandra write to represent the new line?

Answers

Complete question is;

Alejandra correctly wrote the equation y – 3 = (1/5) (x – 10) to represent a line that her teacher sketched. The teacher then changed the line so it had a slope of 2, but still went through the same point. Which equation should Alejandra write to represent the new line?

Answer:

y – 3 = 2(x – 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the original line is;

y – 3 = (1/5) (x – 10)

This means the slope is 1/5 and the x and y coordinates are (10, 3) respectively.

Now, if she changes the slope to 2 and it still passed through the same point, then it means it's x and y points are still (10, 3). Thus, the equation will now be;

y – 3 = 2(x – 10)

A flag has a perimeter of 5 metres. The length of the flag is 600 mm more than the
width of the flag. The length is represented by L and the width is represented by W.
Which of the linear systems in the choices represents the description?
O2L + 2W = 5
L - 600 = W
O2L + 2W = 5000
L - 600 = W
OL+W = 5000
W + 600 = L
O L x W = 5000
L + 600 = W

Answers

Answer:

The first two.

Step-by-step explanation:

See that L is 600mm MORE than W.

From there, you can note that L = W+600  

or rearrange the formula and get W= L-600

Then, see that the perimeter of a flag is 2L + 2W

(Because there are two four sides to a rectangle, 2 width, 2 length)

It must total to be 5 meters, or 5000mm

Thus,

2L + 2W = 5000

what are the coordinates of vertices of quadrilateral ABCD? use the coordinates to find the length of DA.
A(-5,-4)
B (1,4)
C(4,0)
D(1,-4)
Need help ASAP ???

Answers

We can conclude that the length of DA is 6.

For a quadrilateral defined as ABCD, the vertices of the quadrilateral are the points in the name, so the four vertices are the points A, B, C, and D.

These are given, so we know that the vertices are the points:

A(-5,-4)

B (1,4)

C(4,0)

D(1,-4)

Now we want to find the length of DA, this is the distance between points D and A.

Remember that the distance between two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given by:

[tex]d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}[/tex]

Then for the case of the points:

A (-5, -4) and D (1, -4)

the distance is given by:

[tex]d = \sqrt{(1 - (-5))^2 + (-4 - (-4))^2} = \sqrt{(1 + 5)^2} = 6[/tex]

Then we can conclude that the length of DA is 6.

A rectangular garden has links twice as great as it's with a second rectangular garden has the same link as the first garden and with that is for meters greater than the width of the first garden the second Gordon has area of 120 m² what is the length of the two gardens

Answers

Solution :

For the bigger rectangle

Width of bigger rectangle = W

Length of bigger rectangle, L = 2W

For the smaller rectangle

Width , w = W+4

Length, l = L = 2W

Area, a =120 [tex]m^2[/tex]

Now we know,

Area = length x width

[tex]$a=l \times w$[/tex]

[tex]$120=(2W) \times (W+4)$[/tex]

[tex]$120=2W^2 + 8W$[/tex]

[tex]$2W^2+8W-120=0$[/tex]

[tex]$W^2+4W-60=0$[/tex]

[tex]$(W+10)(W-6) = 0$[/tex]

We get, either [tex]W=-10[/tex]   (rejecting)

                or     [tex]W=6[/tex]

∴ length of the bigger rectangle, [tex]$L=2W $[/tex]

                                                          = 2(6)

                                                           = 12 m

 Length of the smaller rectangle, [tex]$L=2W$[/tex]

                                                            = 2(6)

                                                           = 12 m

Hence, the length of the two gardens is 12 m.

The shortest side is opposite the smallest angle

∠ T = 17° → opposite side RS

The longest side is opposite the largest angle
