<h3>Answer:</h3>

System of equations

  • 160 = 2W + 2L
  • W = L - 16

Solution to system of equations

  • W = 32 ft
  • L = 48 ft
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The width is 16 feet less than the length, so the appropriate equation for that is ...

... W = L - 16

Using this expression for W, we can substitute into the equation for perimeter:

... 160 = 2(L - 16) + 2L

... 160 = 4L -32 . . . . . . . collect terms

... 192 = 4L . . . . . . . . . . add 32

... 48 = L . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

... W = 48 -16 = 32 . . . . find W using the relation with L

Length is 48 ft; width is 32 ft.

Micah rows his boat on a river 4.48 miles downstream, with the current, in 0.32 hours. He rows back upstream the same distance,
Molodets [167]
Let the speed of the current be y and the speed of Micah's sailing speed be x. Then 4.48/(x + y) = 0.32
4.48/(x - y) = 0.56

0.32x + 0.32y = 4.48 . . . (1)
0.56x - 0.56y = 4.48 . . . (2)
(1) x 7 => 2.24x + 2.24y = 31.36 . . . (3)
(2) x 4 => 2.24x - 2.24y = 17.92 . . . (4)
(3) - (4) => 4.48y = 13.44
y = 3
From (1), 0.32x + 0.32(3) = 4.48
0.32x = 4.48 - 0.96 = 3.52
x = 3.52/0.32 = 11

Therefore, the speed of the current is 3 miles per hour.

Use Part 1 of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to find the derivative of the function. g(x) = 7x u2 − 1 u2 + 1 du 6x Hint: 7x
VikaD [51]

It looks like you're given

g(x)=\displaystyle\int_{6x}^{7x}\frac{u^2-1}{u^2+1}\,\mathrm du

Then by the additivity of definite integrals this is the same as

g(x)=\displaystyle\int_0^{7x}\frac{u^2-1}{u^2+1}\,\mathrm du-\int_0^{6x}\frac{u^2-1}{u^2+1}\,\mathrm du

(presumably this is what the hint suggests to use)

Then by the fundamental theorem of calculus, we have

\dfrac{\mathrm dg}{\mathrm dx}=7\dfrac{(7x)^2-1}{(7x)^2+1}-6\dfrac{(6x)^2-1}{(6x)^2+1}=\dfrac{1764x^4+169x^2-1}{1764x^4+85x^2+1}

If X is a geometric random variable, show analytically that P(X = n+k|X &gt;n) = P(X = k) .Give a verbal argument using the inte
malfutka [58]

Answer:

P[(X=n+k)] ∩ X>n)] =P[X=K]

Step-by-step explanation:

If X is a geometric random variable then

for success probability = p

so for failure q= 1-p

Now as given

P_{x}(n)=(1-p)^{x-1}P_{}

Now for the P parameter we have

x∈{1,2,3,....∞}

P [X=K] = (1-P)^{K-1}P_{}

P [X=n+K] = (1-P)^{n+K-1}P_{}

p[\frac{X=n+K}{X>h}]=\frac{[(X=n+K)n,X>n]}{P(X>n)}

P(X>n)=\sum_{i=n+1}^{\infty}(1-P)^{i-1}P^{}  \\

P(X>n)=P\sum_{i=n+1}^{\infty}(1-P)^{i-1}^{}

P(X>n)=P\frac{1-P}{1-(1-P)^{n} } =(1-P)^{n}

P[(X=n+k)] ∩ X>n)] = P(X=n+K)

P[(X=n+k)] ∩ X>n)] = \frac{(1-P)^{n+k-1}P }{(1-P)^{n} }

P[(X=n+k)] ∩ X>n)] = (1-P)^{k-1} .P

P[(X=n+k)] ∩ X>n)] =P[X=K]
