Answer:

h = 2.5

Step by step explanation:

We have been given an equation 9(u-2)+1.5u=8.25 that models the total miles Michael traveled one afternoon while sledding, where u equals the number of hours walking up a hill and (u – 2) equals the number of hours sledding down the hill.

To find value of u we will solve our equation.

Upon using distributive property we will get,    

9(u-2)+1.5u=8.25

9u-18+1.5u=8.25

Now let us add 18 to both sides of our equation.

9u-18+18+1.5u=8.25+18

9u+1.5u=8.25+18

Now let us combine like terms.

10.5u=26.25

Upon dividing both sides of our equation by 10.5 we will get,

u=\frac{26.25}{10.5}

u=2.5

Therefore, value of u is 2.5.

On a coordinate plane, 2 exponential fuctions are shown. Function f (x) decreases from quadrant 2 into quadrant 1 and approaches
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

g(x)=6(3)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given  that

f(x)=6(\frac{1}{3})^x

Function f decreases from quadrant  2 to quadrant 1 and approaches  y=0

It cut the y- axis at (0,6) and passing through the point (1,2).

Function g(x) approaches y=0 in quadrant 2 and increases into quadrant 1.

It passing through the point (-1,2) and cut the y-axis at point (0,6).

Reflection across y- axis:

Rule of transformation is given by

(x,y)\rightarrow (-x,y)

Using the rule then we get

g(x)=6(\frac{1}{3})^{-x}=6(3)^x

By using

x^{-a}=\frac{1}{x^a}

Substitute x=-1

g(-1)=6\times (\frac{1}{3})=2

Substitute x=0

g(0)=6

Therefore,g(x)=6(3)^x is true.

The article "Expectation Analysis of the Probability of Failure for Water Supply Pipes"† proposed using the Poisson distribution
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

a. P(X ≤ 5) = 0.999

b. P(X > λ+λ) = P(X > 2) = 0.080

Step-by-step explanation:

We model this randome variable with a Poisson distribution, with parameter λ=1.

We have to calculate, using this distribution, P(X ≤ 5).

The probability of k pipeline failures can be calculated with the following equation:

P(k)=\lambda^{k} \cdot e^{-\lambda}/k!=1^{k} \cdot e^{-1}/k!=e^{-1}/k!

Then, we can calculate P(X ≤ 5) as:

P(X\leq5)=P(0)+P(1)+P(2)+P(4)+P(5)\\\\\\P(0)=1^{0} \cdot e^{-1}/0!=1*0.3679/1=0.368\\\\P(1)=1^{1} \cdot e^{-1}/1!=1*0.3679/1=0.368\\\\P(2)=1^{2} \cdot e^{-1}/2!=1*0.3679/2=0.184\\\\P(3)=1^{3} \cdot e^{-1}/3!=1*0.3679/6=0.061\\\\P(4)=1^{4} \cdot e^{-1}/4!=1*0.3679/24=0.015\\\\P(5)=1^{5} \cdot e^{-1}/5!=1*0.3679/120=0.003\\\\\\P(X\leq5)=0.368+0.368+0.184+0.061+0.015+0.003=0.999

The standard deviation of the Poisson deistribution is equal to its parameter λ=1, so the probability that X exceeds its mean value by more than one standard deviation (X>1+1=2) can be calculated as:

P(X>2)=1-(P(0)+P(1)+P(2))\\\\\\P(0)=1^{0} \cdot e^{-1}/0!=1*0.3679/1=0.368\\\\P(1)=1^{1} \cdot e^{-1}/1!=1*0.3679/1=0.368\\\\P(2)=1^{2} \cdot e^{-1}/2!=1*0.3679/2=0.184\\\\\\P(X>2)=1-(0.368+0.368+0.184)=1-0.920=0.080

Which of the following statements must be true about this diagram? Check all that apply.
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Options (D), (E) and (F) are the correct options.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

1). Angle 4 is the exterior angle of the given triangle having interior angles 1, 2 and 3.

Therefore, by the property of exterior angle,

∠4 = ∠1 + ∠2

2). Since ∠4 = ∠1 + ∠2,

Therefore, ∠4 will be greater than ∠1

 Similarly, ∠4 will be greater than ∠2

Therefore, Options (D), (E) and (F) are the correct options.
