Answer:

Three-fourths

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

∠QSR≅∠XZY ---> given problem

∠QRS≅∠XYZ ---> given problem

so

△QRS ~ △XYZ ----> by AA Similarity theorem

Remember that, if two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent

That means

\frac{QS}{XZ}=\frac{QR}{XY}=\frac{RS}{YZ}

∠Q≅∠X

∠R≅∠Y

∠S≅∠Z

<em>In the right triangle XYZ</em>

Find the tangent of angle X

tan(X)=\frac{YZ}{XZ} ---> opposite side angle X divided by adjacent side angle X

substitute the given values

tan(X)=\frac{9}{12}

Simplify

tan(X)=\frac{3}{4}

Remember that

∠Q≅∠X

so

tan(Q)=tan(X)

therefore

tan(Q)=\frac{3}{4} ---->Three-fourths

Trevor is studying a polynomial function f(x). Three given roots of f(x) are –7, 2i, and 7. Trevor concludes that f(x) must be a
denpristay [2]

Option B

Trevor isn't correct because -2i must also be a root

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

For the polynomial with roots -7, 2i and 7 their roots can be,

1. ) Real roots

2.) Imaginary roots

The real roots are: -7 and +7

The imaginary root given is: 2i

The imaginary roots come from the square root. So they will be in form of \pm 2i

Therefore,

For f(x) with roots -7 and +7 and \pm 2 we have,

f(x)=a(x+7)(x-7)(x-2i)(x+2i)

Fundamental Theorem of Algebra states that a polynomial will have exactly as many roots as its degree (the degree is the highest exponent of the polynomial).

So for f(x) with 4 roots, degree of f(x) is 4

So option B is correct. Trevor is not correct because –2i must also be a root.

An attempt to establish a video call via some social media app may fail with probability 0.1. If connection is established and i
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

(1). y = x ~ Exp (1/3).

(2). Check attachment.

(3). EY = 3(1 - e^-2).

(4). Var[y] = 3(1 - e^-2) (1 -3 (1 - e^-2)) - 36e^-2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Kindly check the attachment to aid in understanding the solution to the question.

So, from the question, we given the following parameters or information or data;

(A). The probability in which attempt to establish a video call via some social media app may fail with = 0.1.

(B). " If connection is established and if no connection failure occurs thereafter, then the duration of a typical video call in minutes is an exponential random variable X with E[X] = 3. "

(C). "due to an unfortunate bug in the app all calls are disconnected after 6 minutes. Let random variable Y denote the overall call duration (i.e., Y = 0 in case of failure to connect, Y = 6 when a call gets disconnected due to the bug, and Y = X otherwise.)."

(1). Hence, for FY(y) = y = x ~ Exp (1/3) for the condition that zero is equal to y = x < 6.

(2). Check attachment.

(3). EY = 3(1 - e^-2).

(4). Var[y] = 3(1 - e^-2) (1 -3 (1 - e^-2)) - 36e^-2.

The condition to follow in order to solve this question is that y = 0 if x ≤ 0, y = x if 0 ≤ x ≤ 6 and y = 6 if x ≥ 6.
