Answer:

$0\le P\le 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of an event is a number describing the chance that the event will happen.

Definition: The probability of an evant is

$P=\dfrac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Number of all possible outcomes}}$

1. An event that is certain to happen (Number of favorable outcomes = Number of all possible outcomes) has a probability of 1.

2. An event that cannot possibly happen (Number of favorable outcomes = 0) has a probability of 0.

3. If there is a chance that an event will happen, then its probability is between 0 and 1.

Thus,

$0\le P\le 1$

Find the volume of the wedge cut from the first octant by the cylinder z=12-3y^2 and the plane x+y=2.

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

The wedge cut from the first octant ⟹ z ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0 ⟹ 12−3y^2 ≥ 0 ⟹ 0 ≤ y ≤ 2

0 ≤ y ≤ 2 and x = 2-y ⟹ 0 ≤ x ≤ 2

V = ∫∫∫ dzdydx

dz has changed from zero to 12−3y^2

dy has changed from zero to 2-x

dx has changed from zero to 2

V = ∫∫∫ dzdydx = ∫∫ (12−3y^2) dydx = ∫ 12(2-x)-(2-x)^3 dx =

A turtle and a rabbit engage in a footrace over a distance of 4.00 km. The rabbit runs 0.500 km and then stops for a 90.0-min na

Oxana [17]

Answer:

(a) 2.29 km/h

(b) 9 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

For part (a) you have to apply the average speed formula, which is defined by:

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

where d is the total distance traveled and t is the total time needed.

$d=\frac{4.00}{1.75}=2.29$ km/h

For part (b) you have to calculate the running time (T) , which is the total time of the race minus the nap time:

The nap time in hours is:

90/60 = 1.5 h (because there are 60 minutes in one hour)

The running time is:

T= 1.75 - 1.5 = 0.25 h

Let t1 represent the time before the nap and t2 the time after the nap:

t1+t2 = T

t1+t2 = 0.25

You have to apply the formula d=vt before and after the nap:

-Before the nap, the distance traveled was 0.50 km

0.50 = v1t1

-Afer the nap, the distance traveled was 3.50 km

3.50=v2t2

But v2=2v1 (because after the nap the rabbit runs twice as fast)

You have to solve the system of equations:

t1=0.25-t2 (I)

v1t1=0.50 (II)

2v1t2=3.50 (III)

Replacing (I) in (II)

v1(0.25-t2)=0.50

Applying distributive property and solving:

0.25v1-v1t2=.050

For (III) you have that v1t2=3.50/2=1.75. Hence:

0.25v1-1.75=0.50

Solving for v1:

v1 = 9 km/h

which shape had a larger area: a rectangle that is 7 inches by 3/4 inch, or a square with side length of 2.5 inches? Show your r

Brums [2.3K]

In order to find the area for a rectangle, you must multiply length times width, which would be 7 x 3/4 which is 5.25. In order to find the area for a square, you do length^2, also know as length x length. Which would be 2.5^2 which is 2.5 x 2.5 which is 6.25. 6.25 is larger than 5.25, so the square has a larger area.
