find the value of k for which the given function is a probability density function. f(x) = 2k on [−1, 1]

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of k that makes f(x) = 2k a probability density function on [−1, 1] is k = 1/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a function to be a probability density function, it must satisfy the following two conditions:

The integral of the function over its support must be equal to 1:

∫ f(x) dx = 1

The function must be non-negative on its support:

f(x) ≥ 0, for all x in the support of f(x)

Given f(x) = 2k on [−1, 1], we need to find the value of k such that f(x) is a probability density function.

Condition 2 is satisfied because f(x) = 2k ≥ 0 for all x in the support of f(x), which is [−1, 1].

To satisfy condition 1, we need:

∫ f(x) dx = ∫_{-1}^{1} 2k dx = 2k [x]_{-1}^{1} = 2k(1 - (-1)) = 4k = 1

Solving for k, we have:

4k = 1

k = 1/4

Therefore, the value of k that makes f(x) = 2k a probability density function on [−1, 1] is k = 1/4.

Describe the steps necessary to solve the following system equations:

-3x - 4y = 2 and 3x + 3y = -3

Answers

Answer:

(- 2, 1 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

- 3x - 4y = 2 → (1)

3x + 3y = - 3 → (2)

Adding the 2 equations term by term will eliminate the x- term, that is

0 - y = - 1

- y = - 1 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

y = 1

Substitute y = 1 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

Substituting into (2)

3x + 3(1) = - 3

3x + 3 = - 3 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

3x = - 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = - 2

solution is (- 2, 1 )

Answer:

x = -2 and y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 3y = -3, x + y = -1,  x = -y -1

-3(-y-1) - 4y = 2, 3y + 3 - 4y - 2 = 0

-y +1 = 0, y = 1

x + y = -1, x + 1 = -1, x = -2

[tex]4(x + 1)^{2}(x - 1)^{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP 1:

The equation at the end of step 1

[tex]((4 (x^4)) - 2^3x^2) + 4[/tex]

STEP 2:

The equation at the end of step 2:

[tex](2^2x^4 - 2^3x^2) + 4[/tex]

STEP 3:

STEP 4: Pulling out like terms

4.1 Pull out like factors:

[tex]4x^4 - 8x^2 + 4 = 4(x^4 - 2x^2 + 1)[/tex]

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

4.2 Factoring [tex]x^4 - 2x^2 + 1[/tex]

The first term is, [tex]x^4[/tex] its coefficient is 1.

The middle term is,  [tex]-2x^2[/tex]  its coefficient is -2.

The last term, "the constant", is +1.

Step-1: Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   1 • 1 = 1

Step-2: Find two factors of  1  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -2.

-1 + -1 = -2 That's it

Step-3: Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -1  and  -1

                    x4 - 1x2 - 1x2 - 1

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :

                   x2 • (x2-1)

             Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :

                    1 • (x2-1)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :

                   (x2-1)  •  (x2-1)

            Which is the desired factorization

Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares:

4.3      Factoring:  x2-1

Theory : A difference of two perfect squares,  A2 - B2  can be factored into  (A+B) • (A-B)

Proof :  (A+B) • (A-B) =

        A2 - AB + BA - B2 =

        A2 - AB + AB - B2 =

        A2 - B2

Note :  AB = BA is the commutative property of multiplication.

Note :  - AB + AB equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.

Check : 1 is the square of 1

Check :  x2  is the square of  x1

Factorization is :       (x + 1)  •  (x - 1)

Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares:

4.4      Factoring:  x2 - 1

Check : 1 is the square of 1

Check :  x2  is the square of  x1

Factorization is :       (x + 1)  •  (x - 1)

Multiplying Exponential Expressions:

4.5    Multiply  (x + 1)  by  (x + 1)

The rule says : To multiply exponential expressions which have the same base, add up their exponents.

In our case, the common base is  (x+1)  and the exponents are :

         1 , as  (x+1)  is the same number as  (x+1)1

and   1 , as  (x+1)  is the same number as  (x+1)1

The product is therefore,  (x+1)(1+1) = (x+1)2

Multiplying Exponential Expressions:

4.6    Multiply  (x-1)  by  (x-1)

The rule says : To multiply exponential expressions which have the same base, add up their exponents.

In our case, the common base is  (x-1)  and the exponents are :

         1 , as  (x-1)  is the same number as  (x-1)1

and   1 , as  (x-1)  is the same number as  (x-1)1

The product is therefore,  (x-1)(1+1) = (x-1)2

Final result :

 4 • (x + 1)2 • (x - 1)2

Amanda bought 4 pairs of jeans for $71.40. How much would she need to pay for 8 pairs of jeans?

Answers

Answer:  $142.80

==========================================================

Explanation:

To get this answer, we double the 71.40 to get 142.80

You can think of it like an equation and we multiply both sides by 2

4 jeans = 71.40 dollars

2*(4 jeans) = 2*(71.40 dollars)

8 jeans = 142.80 dollars

------------

Or you could solve it like this

(4 jeans)/(71.40 dollars) = (8 jeans)/(x dollars)

4/71.40 = 8/x

4x = 71.40*8

4x = 571.2

x = 571.2/4

x = 142.80

------------

Yet another way to solve is to first find the unit rate

4 jeans cost 71.40, so that must mean 1 pair of jeans cost 71.40/4 = 17.85 dollars. This is the unit rate since "unit" means "one". It's the price per pair of jeans.

Multiply that by 8 to find out how much 8 pairs will cost, and we get 17.85*8 = 142.80

A rectangle is covered by 24 unit squares. There are no gaps or overlap.

How can the area of the rectangle be found?


The area of the rectangle is equal to the number of unit squares that cover the rectangle. The area of the rectangle is 24 square units.

The area of the rectangle is half the number of unit squares that cover the rectangle. The area of the rectangle is 12 square units.

The area of the rectangle is double the number of unit squares that cover the rectangle. The area of the rectangle is 48 square units.

Answers

Answer: Choice A

The area of the rectangle is equal to the number of unit squares that cover the rectangle. The area of the rectangle is 24 square units.

=====================================================

Explanation:

Imagine drawing equally spaced grid lines to subdivide the rectangle. This splits the rectangle into smaller squares. In this case, each little square is 1 square unit. Having 24 of these squares leads to a total area of 24 square units.

We could have 8 rows and 3 columns of these squares to get 8*3 = 24 total. Or we could have 6 rows and 4 columns to get 6*4 = 24. Another configuration is 12 rows and 2 columns which leads to 12*2 = 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the legs are equal this is a 45-45-90 triangle.

The ratio of side length for a 45 45 90 triangle

[tex](1)(1)( \sqrt{2} )[/tex]

where 1 is the legs length and sqr root of 2 is the length of the hypotenuse.

Since we are trying to find the length of the legs side we can set up a proportion.

We know the hypotenuse is 4 so our proportion looks like

[tex] \frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{x} = \frac{ \sqrt{2} }{4} [/tex]

Let see how far sqr root of 2 goes into 4.

[tex] \sqrt{2} \times x = 4[/tex]

[tex] \sqrt{2} \times x = \sqrt{16} [/tex]

[tex]x = \sqrt{8} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

10). 1). Both the triangles are not similar.

     2). For the similarity of two triangles, corresponding sides of the triangles should be proportional and the included angles should be equal in measure.

         Although the angle given is equal but the corresponding sides of the triangles are not proportional, triangles are not similar.

          [tex]\frac{UW}{HF}= \frac{UV}{GF}[/tex] (For similar triangles)
