Let
x-----------------> books in <span>the first shelf
</span>y-----------------> books in the second shelf
z-----------------> books in the third shelf
we know that
x+y+z=158-------------> equation (1)
x=y-8---------> y=x+8 ------->  equation (2)
x=z+5--------> z=x-5  --------> equation (3)
<span>
 substitute (2) and (3) in (1)
</span>x+(x+8)+(x-5)=158--------> 3x=155----------> x=51.7


<span>the number of books in the first shelf (x=51.7) is not a whole number
therefore

the answer is
Is not possible to place the amount of 158 books in the amounts indicated in the problem</span>

Would appreciate an explanation. PLEASE ANSWER THIS
Radda [10]

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2*ab*Cos(C)

c = 16; a = 17; b = 8 (what you call a and b don't really matter. c does). Substitute.

16^2 = 17^2 + 8^2 - 2*17*8*Cos(C) Add the first 2 on the right.

256 = 289 + 64 - 282*cos(C)

256 = 353 - 282*cos(C) Whatever you do, don't do any more combing on the right side. Subtract 353 from both sides.

-97 = -282 * cos(C ) Divide by 282

0.34397 = cos(C)

cos-1(0.34397) = C ; C = 69.88 degrees.


Do you need more help on this question? All of these are done the same way.

In the diagram, transversal t cuts across the parallel lines a and b. Match the pairs of angles with the relationship that shows
charle [14.2K]

we know that

<u>case a)</u> alternate exterior angles

m∠2=m∠7 --------> by alternate exterior angles

m∠1=m∠8 --------> by alternate exterior angles

<u>case b)</u> alternate interior angles

m∠3=m∠6 --------> by alternate interior angles

m∠5=m∠4 --------> by alternate interior angles

<u>case c)</u> corresponding angles

m∠1=m∠5 --------> by corresponding angles

m∠3=m∠7 --------> by corresponding angles

m∠2=m∠6 --------> by corresponding angles

m∠4=m∠8 --------> by corresponding angles

<u>case d)</u> vertical angles

m∠1=m∠4 --------> by vertical angles

m∠2=m∠3 --------> by vertical angles

m∠5=m∠8 --------> by vertical angles

The exponential distribution can be used to solve Poisson-type problems in which the intervals are not time. The Air Travel Cons
frutty [35]

Answer:

a) P(X \ge 490) = 0.628

b) P(X \leq 190) = 0.165

Step-by-step explanation:

a) This is an exponential distribution question since it is a poisson type problem

Mean rate is 0.95 per 1000 passengers

Mean rate, \lambda = 0.95/1000

\lambda = 0.00095 per passenger

Probability that at least 490 passengers will have their baggage handled properly before the next mishandling occurs :

P(X \ge x) = e^{- \lambda x}

P(X \ge 490) = e^{-490 * 0.00095}

P(X \ge 490) = e^{-0.4655}\\P(X \ge 490) = 0.628

b)  Probability that the number will be fewer than 200 passengers

P(X \leq 190) = 1 - P(X \geq 190)\\P(X \leq 190) = 1 - e^{-190 \lambda} \\P(X \leq 190) = 1 - e^{-190 *0.00095}

P(X \leq 190) = 1 - 0.835\\P(X \leq 190) = 0.165

Let g(x)= -2(3x+4)(x−1)(x−3)^2 be a polynomial function. Name all horizontal and vertical intercepts of the graph. State the end
lesantik [10]

Answer:

The vertical intercepts is

(4/3,0) (3,0) (1,0)

The horinzontial intercepts is

(0,72)

The end behavior is

<em>as x approaches positive infinity, f(x) approaches negative infinity. As x approaches negative infinity, f(x) approaches negative infinity.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical or y intercepts will be zeroes of the following factors.

3x + 4 = 0

x - 1 = 0

(x - 3) {}^{2}  = 0

We solve for x each time.

x =  -  \frac{4}{3}

x = 1

x = 3

Part B). We need to find the intercepts by setting the equation equal to zero.

The constant expanded will equal 72.

If x=0,

{0}^{y}  = 0

where y is any real number.

So this means all the exponets will equal 0. The constant will just add to the term. so our horinzontal intercept is

0 + 72 = 72

Part C) End Behavior

The leading degree is even. Even Degree Polynomials like Quadratics tend to go approach positive infinity vertically as x approaches positive infinity, and as x approaches negative infinity, it approaches positive infinity vertically.

Our leading coefficient is negative so this means our quadratic will get reflected across the x axis.

Now this means, as x approaches positive infinity, f(x) approaches negative infinity. As x approaches negative infinity, f(x) approaches negative infinity.
