The Right Answer:

We need to mutiply all the numbers.

5*-2 = -10

-10*-1 = 10

The Wrong Answer:

(-2)*(-1) gives +2 (a negative number multiplied for another negative gives a positive number).

2*5 = +10

Determine the input value for which the statement f(x) = g(x) is true. From the graph, the input value is approximately_______ .

Julli [10]

In this question , we have a graph given, and we have to find the x coordinate of the intersection point .

From the graph , the input value is approximately 3.3 .

In the graph,

$f(x) =3$

And for g(x), we need the slope and y intercept .

Slope is the ratio of rise and run .

Here rise equals 3 units and run equals 2 units. And the graph touch the y axis at -2 .

So the equation of g(x) is

$g(x) = \frac{3}{2}x -2$

We need to do

$f(x)= g(x)$

Substituting the values of the two functions, we will get

$3 = \frac{3}{2}x -2$

Adding 2 to both sides

$5 = \frac{3}{2}x$

Cross multiplication

$10 =3x
\\
x = \frac{10}{3}$

$x = 3.3$

So the input value is 3.3 approx

Suppose a research paper states that the distribution of the daily sea-ice advance/retreat from each sensor is similar and is ap

Luda [366]

Answer:

The value of the parameter is λ is 0.03553357

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided function.

$f(x) = 0.5\lambda e^{-\lambda |x|}$ for −∞ < x < ∞.

It is given that standard deviation is given as 39.8 km.

Now we need to calculate the value of parameter λ.

The general formula for the probability density function of the double exponential distribution is: $f(x)=\frac{e^{-|\frac{x-\mu}{\beta}|}}{2\beta}$

Where μ is the location parameter and β is the scale parameter.

Compare the provided equation with the above formula we get.

$\lambda=\frac{1}{\beta}$ and μ = 0.

Standard deviation = √2β

$S.D=\sqrt{2} \beta\\\beta=\frac{39.8}{\sqrt{2}}\\\beta=28.1424$

Now substitute the value of β in $\lambda=\frac{1}{\beta}$ .

$\lambda=\frac{1}{28.1424}=0.03553357$

Hence, the value of the parameter is λ is 0.03553357

Three years ago Tom was twice as old as Jean, and in two years the sum of their ages will be 28 years. Find their present ages.

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

Jean is 9 and Tom is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

3 years ago, Tom was 12 and Jean was 6, hence Tom was twice as old as Jean.

Since that was their age 3 years ago, they are currently 15 (Tom) and 9 (Jean).

Add 2 years to each of these ages, you get 17 and 11.

17 + 11 = 28

Two sides of an obtuse triangle measure 9 inches and 14 inches. The length of longest side is unknown. What is the smallest poss

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

17 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

An obtuse triangle is the triangle in which one of the side is the longest. It contains an obtuse angle and the longest side is the side that is opposite to the vertex of the obtuse angle.

Let the three sides of the obtuse triangle be a, b and c respectively with c as the longest side. Let a = 9 inches and b = 14 inches.

Now we know that for an obtuse triangle,

$c^2 > a^2 +b^2$

$c^2 > (9)^2 +(14)^2$

$c^2 > 81 +196$

$c^2 > 277$

c > 16.64

Therefore the smallest possible whole number is 17 inches.
