Two points are selected randomly on a line of length 32 so as to be on opposite sides of the midpoint of the line. In other words, the two points X and Y are independent random variables such that X is uniformly distributed over [0,16) and Y is uniformly distributed over (16,32]. Find the probability that the distance between the two points is greater than 9.

Answers

Answer 1

Solution :

Let us consider the squares be [tex]$[1, 16] \times [16, 32]$[/tex]

If x ranges from the 0 to 16 and the y ranges from 16 to 32, we see that the boundary of the region[tex]$y-x \geq 9 \text{\ is}\ y - x = 9$[/tex]  which goes from the [tex]$(7, 16 ) \text{ to}\ (16, 25) $[/tex].

And so it is easier to find the area of region where [tex]$ y-x \leq 9$[/tex]. This is the triangle with points [tex]$(7,16),(16,25) \text{ and}\ (16,16)$[/tex] as its vertices.

The area if the triangle is =  [tex]$\frac{1}{2} \times 9 \times 9$[/tex]

                                         = [tex]$\frac{81}{2}$[/tex]

Now the entire area is [tex]$(16)^2$[/tex]  = 256

Then, [tex]$P(y-x \leq 9) = \frac{81/2}{256} =\frac{81}{512}$[/tex]

or [tex]$P(y-x \geq 9) = 1 - \frac{81}{512}=\frac{431}{512}$[/tex]

Thus the answer is [tex]$\frac{431}{512}$[/tex]

The larger number is 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y be the two numbers.

y = 2x + 4

x + y = 28

So x + 2x + 4 = 28

3x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

A farmer with 5000 feet of fencing wants to enclose a rectangular field and then divide it into two plots by adding a fence in the middle parallel to one of the sides. Using the function A(x) , analytically find the WIDTH of the field that would maximize its area. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number)

Answers

Answer:

The required width of the field that would maximize the area is = 1250  feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The total fencing length = 5000 ft

Let consider w to be the width and L to be the length.

Then; the perimeter of the rectangular field by assuming a parallel direction is:

P = 3L + 2w

⇒ 3L + 2w = 5000

3L = 5000 - 2w

[tex]L = \dfrac{5000}{3} - \dfrac{2w}{3}[/tex]

Recall that:

The area of the rectangle = L×w

[tex]A(w) = ( \dfrac{5000}{3}-\dfrac{2}{3} ) w[/tex]

[tex]A(w) = \dfrac{5000}{3}w-\dfrac{2}{3} w^2[/tex]

Taking the differentiation of both sides with respect to t; we have:

[tex]A' (w) = \dfrac{5000}{3} - \dfrac{2}{3} ( 2 w)[/tex]

[tex]A' (w) = \dfrac{5000}{3} - \dfrac{4w}{3}[/tex]

Then; we set A'(w) to be equal to zero;

So; [tex]\dfrac{5000}{3} - \dfrac{4w}{3}=0[/tex]

5000  = 4w

w = 5000/4

w = 1250

Thus; the required width of the field that would maximize the area is = 1250  feet

Also, the length [tex]L = \dfrac{5000}{3} - \dfrac{2w}{3}[/tex] can now be :

[tex]L = \dfrac{5000}{3} - \dfrac{2(1250)}{3}[/tex]

L = (5000 -2500)/3

L = 2500/3 feet

Suppose, the farmer divides the plot parallel to the width; Then  2500/3 feet = 833.33 feet and the length L = 1250 feet.

Answers

Answer:

y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

4*y = 4y

4*4 = 16

4y+16=32

to get 4y alone, we subtract 16 from 32.

32-16 = 16

4y = 16

to get y alone, we divide 4 by 16

16/ 4 = 4

so, y = 4

Answer: y=4

Step-by-step explanation:

4(y+4)=32

Divide both sides by 4

y+4=8

Subtract 4 from both sides

They both have a slope of 2.


They cross the x-axis at the same point.


They are parallel to each other.


They have the same slope.


They are in the same location.


They cross the y-axis at the same point.

Answers

Answer:

-They both have a slope of 2.

-They are parallel to each other.

-They have the same slope.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 2 equations are;

y = 2x and y = 2x - 7

Now, from slope intercept equation,

y = mx + c

Where m is slope and c is the intercept on the y-axis

From the 2 equations y = 2x and y = 2x - 7, Comparing with y = mx + c, we can see they both have a slope of 2.

For 2 lines to have same slope, it means that they are parallel and have different y-intercepts.

They should cross the x-axis when y = 0.

But at x = 0,we have;

y = 2x = 0. And x = 0

Also,for y = 2x - 7 is y = 2x - 7 = 0

2x = 7 and x = 7/2.

Thus,they don't cross the x - axis at the same point

Looking at the options, we can see that there are 3 correct ones from what we've described above namely;

-They both have a slope of 2.

-They are parallel to each other.

-They have the same slope.

I don't know if you still need the answer, but it's in the picture

The correct statement is; B. When x increases by​ 1, y increases by 9. The function rule is y = 9x + 1

What is linear function?

A linear function is represented as: y = mx + c

Where m is the slope and b is the intercept the value of y, when x = 0

From the given table, we have the following observations that;

As x increases by 1

The value of y increases by 9 and the slope of the table is 9

So, we have been given m = 9

Then y = 9x + c

Since an increment of 1 in the value of x will result in an increment of 9 in the value of y which means that; If x is reduced by 1, the corresponding value of y would reduce by 9.

When x = 1 then y = 10

This means that y = 9x + 1

The correct statement is; B. When x increases by​ 1, y increases by 9. The function rule is y = 9x + 1

A turkey cost $1.05 per pound. There are going to be fifteen people at Thanksgiving dinner. Plan for each person to eat two, 3/8-pound servings if turkey. How much will the turkey for Thanksgiving dinner cost?

Answers

Answer:

5.90625

Step-by-step explanation:

15*3/8=5 5/8

5 5/8=5.625

1.05*5.625=5.90625

The cost of the turkey for Thanksgiving dinner is $ 11.8125

What is an Equation?

Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side.

It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides.

Coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and the equal to sign are some of the components of an equation. The "=" sign and terms on both sides must always be present when writing an equation.

Given data ,

Let the cost of 1 pound of turkey = $ 1.05

Total number of people at the Thanksgiving dinner = 15 people

The number of servings for each person = 2 servings

The amount of turkey servings for each person = 2 x 3/8 pound servings

                                                                               = 3/4 pound servings

Now , the equation will be

So , the total cost of 3/4 pound servings of turkey =
3/4 x cost of 1 pound of turkey

The total cost of 3/4 pound servings of turkey = 3/4 x 1.05

                                                                             = $ 0.7875

Now , the cost for 15 people at the Thanksgiving dinner =
15 x total cost of 3/4 pound servings of turkey

The cost for 15 people at the Thanksgiving dinner = 15 x 0.7875

                                                                                    = $ 11.8125

Hence , The cost of the turkey for Thanksgiving dinner is $ 11.8125
