Answer:

One-third

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The probability that a point chosen at random in the triangle is also in the blue square is equal to divide the area of the square by the area of triangle

step 1

Determine the area of triangle

A=\frac{1}{2}(9)(6)=27\ in^2

step 2

Determine the area of the square

A=(3^2)=9\ in^2

step 3

Determine the probability

P=\frac{9}{27}

simplify

P=\frac{1}{3}

therefore

One-third

If p is a polynomial show that lim x→ap(x)=p(a
Lostsunrise [7]

Let p(x) be a polynomial, and suppose that a is any real number. Prove that

lim x→a p(x) = p(a) .

 

Solution. Notice that

 

2(−1)4 − 3(−1)3 − 4(−1)2 − (−1) − 1 = 1 .

 

So x − (−1) must divide 2x^4 − 3x^3 − 4x^2 − x − 2. Do polynomial long division to get 2x^4 − 3x^3 − 4x^2 – x – 2 / (x − (−1)) = 2x^3 − 5x^2 + x – 2.

 

Let ε > 0. Set δ = min{ ε/40 , 1}. Let x be a real number such that 0 < |x−(−1)| < δ. Then |x + 1| < ε/40 . Also, |x + 1| < 1, so −2 < x < 0. In particular |x| < 2. So

 

|2x^3 − 5x^2 + x − 2| ≤ |2x^3 | + | − 5x^2 | + |x| + | − 2|

= 2|x|^3 + 5|x|^2 + |x| + 2

< 2(2)^3 + 5(2)^2 + (2) + 2

= 40

 

Thus, |2x^4 − 3x^3 − 4x^2 − x − 2| = |x + 1| · |2x^3 − 5x^2 + x − 2| < ε/40 · 40 = ε.

The random variable X, representing the number of cherries in a cherry puff, has the following probability distribution:x: 4 - 5
marta [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is the probability distribution of a random variable X

X 4 5 6 7 Total

P 0.2 0.4 0.3 0.1 1

x*p 0.8 2 1.8 0.7 5.3

x^2*p 3.2 10 10.8 4.9 28.9

a) E(X) = Mean of X = sum of xp = 5.3

Var(x) = 28.9-5.3^2=0.81

Std dev = square root of variance = 0.9

------------------------------------

b) For sample mean we have

Mean = 5.3

Variance = var(x)/n = \frac{0.81}{{36} } \\=0.0225

c) P(\bar X

Madison starts with a population of 1,000 amoebas that triples in size every hour for a number of hours, h. She writes the expre
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer: The meaning of each term of the  Madison’s and Tyler’s expressions is mentioned below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, when Madison starts with a population of 1,000 amoebas that triples in size every hour for a number of hours, h.

That is, after 1 hour total number of amoebas = 3×1000 = 3^1\times 1000

After 2 hour,  total number of amoebas = 3×3000=3^2\times 100

After 3 hour, total number of amoebas = 3×9000= 3^3\times 1000

similarly, after h hours, total number of amoebas,

f(h) = 3^h\times 1000

where, 1000 is the initial population of amoeba 3 is the growth factor of population and f(h) is the population of amoeba after h hours.

Since, when Tyler starts with a population of 1 amoeba that  increases 30% in size every hour for a number of hours.

That is, after 1 hour total number of amoebas = (1+0.3)^1

After 2 hour,  total number of amoebas =  (1+0.3)^2

After 3 hour, total number of amoebas =  (1+0.3)^3

Similarly, after h hours, total number of amoebas,

f(h) =(1+0.3)^h

Where,  1 is the initial population of amoeba, 0.3 is the growth rate and 1.3 is the growth factor.
