Philip ran out of time while taking a multiple-choice test and plans to guess the last 4 questions. Each question has 5 possible choices, one of which is correct. Let X=X=X, equal the number of answers Philip correctly guesses in the last 444 questions. Assume that the results of his guesses are independent.
What is the probability that he answers exactly 1 question correctly in the last 4 questions?

Answers

Answer 1

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.4096 = 40.96% probability that he answers exactly 1 question correctly in the last 4 questions.

What is the binomial distribution formula?

The formula is:

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes.n is the number of trials.p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

Considering that there are 4 questions, and each has 5 choices, the parameters are given as follows:

n = 4, p = 1/5 = 0.2.

The probability that he answers exactly 1 question correctly in the last 4 questions is P(X = 1), hence:

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{4,1}.(0.2)^{1}.(0.8)^{3} = 0.4096[/tex]

0.4096 = 40.96% probability that he answers exactly 1 question correctly in the last 4 questions.

The radius of a circle is 5 cm (to the nearest cm). What is the smallest value
that the circumference could have?

Answers

Answer: 31 cm.

explanation:

Given, Radius = 5 cm (near to)

this means the radius is near 5 cm. It can be 4.9, 4.99, 4.999.....or 5.01,5.001,5.001...... and so on.

So, the circumference of the circle is given by:-

Circumference = 2× [tex]\pi[/tex] × r

2 × 22/7 × 5    (for the smallest value, we'll consider r as 5 and then round off the circumference to the smallest value)

⇒ 220/7 ≈ 31.43 cm

rounding off to the smallest integer, we have

Circumference = 31 cm.

The smallest value that the circumference could have is 10 [tex]\pi[/tex]cm

Using Formula,

Circumference = 2 [tex]\pi \\[/tex] r

Radius = 5 cm

So, C = 2 [tex]\pi[/tex] 5

C = 10 [tex]\pi[/tex]cm

Therefore circumference is 10 [tex]\pi[/tex]cm.

The second derivative of the first function is s"(x) = = -[8e^(x/5) - 2]e^(x/5)/25(e^(x/5) + 2)³.

The second derivative of the second function is; k''(t) = (36t² - 6)e^(-3t²)

How to find the second derivative?

1)  We are given the function;

s(x) = 4/(1 + 2e^(-0.2x)

First derivative is;

ds/dx = [8e^(x/5)]/5(e^(x/5) + 2)²

Second Derivative is;

d²s/dx² = -[8e^(x/5) - 2]e^(x/5)/25(e^(x/5) + 2)³

At x = 0;

d²s/dx² = -[8e^(0/5) - 2]e^(0/5)/25(e^(0/5) + 2)³

d²s/dx² = 8/675

B) We are given the function;

Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to y=-2x-9 and contains the points (8,-4)

Answers

The slope of the given line is -2, and since perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, the slope of the line we want to find is 1/2.

Substituting into point-slope form,

[tex]y+4=\frac{1}{2}(x-8)\\\\y+4=\frac{1}{2}x-4\\\\\boxed{y=\frac{1}{2}x-8}[/tex]

Answer:

Equation of line perpendicular to y= -2x-9 is y=x/2-8 .

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line gives the measure of its steepness and direction. The slope of a curve at a point is equal to the slope of the straight line that is tangent to the curve at that point.

The general equation of a line is y = mx + c, where m is the slope of the line and c is the y-intercept. It is the most common form of the equation of a straight line that is used in geometry.

The product of slopes of two perpendicular lines gives (-1).

m1m2=(-1)

Solve: 4 + 3x = 2(3x-7) +9

A. There are infinitely many solutions

B. x = 3

C. x = -3

D. x = 2/3​

Answers

Answer:

B. x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

4 + 3x = 2(3x + -7) + 9

Reorder the terms:

4 + 3x = 2(-7 + 3x) + 9

4 + 3x = (-7 * 2 + 3x * 2) + 9

4 + 3x = (-14 + 6x) + 9

Reorder the terms:

4 + 3x = -14 + 9 + 6x

Combine like terms: -14 + 9 = -5

4 + 3x = -5 + 6x

Solving

4 + 3x = -5 + 6x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-6x' to each side of the equation.

4 + 3x + -6x = -5 + 6x + -6x

Combine like terms: 3x + -6x = -3x

4 + -3x = -5 + 6x + -6x

Combine like terms: 6x + -6x = 0

4 + -3x = -5 + 0

4 + -3x = -5

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.

4 + -4 + -3x = -5 + -4

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0

0 + -3x = -5 + -4

-3x = -5 + -4

Combine like terms: -5 + -4 = -9

-3x = -9

Divide each side by '-3'.

By applying algebraic handling on the two equations, we find the following three solution pairs: x₁ ≈ 5.693 ,y₁ ≈ 10.693; x₂ ≈ 1.430, y₂ ≈ 6.430; x₃ ≈ - 0.737, y₃ ≈ 4.263.

How to solve a system of equations

In this question we have a system formed by a linear equation and a non-linear equation, both with no trascendent elements and whose solution can be found easily by algebraic handling:

x - y = 5      (1)

x² · y = 5 · x + 6       (2)

By (1):

y = x + 5

By substituting on (2):

x² · (x + 5) = 5 · x + 6

x³ + 5 · x² - 5 · x - 6 = 0

(x + 5.693) · (x - 1.430) · (x + 0.737) = 0

There are three solutions: x₁ ≈ 5.693, x₂ ≈ 1.430, x₃ ≈ - 0.737

And the y-values are found by evaluating on (1):

y = x + 5

x₁ ≈ 5.693

y₁ ≈ 10.693

x₂ ≈ 1.430

y₂ ≈ 6.430

x₃ ≈ - 0.737

y₃ ≈ 4.263

By applying algebraic handling on the two equations, we find the following three solution pairs: x₁ ≈ 5.693 ,y₁ ≈ 10.693; x₂ ≈ 1.430, y₂ ≈ 6.430; x₃ ≈ - 0.737, y₃ ≈ 4.263.

On a coordinate plane, a solid straight line has a positive slope and goes through (negative 3, negative 5) and (0, negative 4). Everything to the right of the line is shaded.

Which linear inequality is represented by the graph?

y ≥ One-thirdx – 4
y ≤ One-thirdx – 4
y ≤ One-thirdx + 4
y ≥ One-thirdx + 4

Answers

Since everything to the right of the line is shaded, the linear inequality which represents the graph is equal to: A. y 1/3x - 4.

How to determine the linear inequality?

In order to determine the linear inequality which represents the graph, we would find the slope of the given points.

Mathematically, the slope of a straight line can be calculated by using this formula;

[tex]Slope = \frac{Change\;in\;y\;axis}{Change\;in\;x\;axis}\\\\Slope = \frac{y_2\;-\;y_1}{x_2\;-\;x_1}[/tex]

Substituting the given points into the formula, we have;

[tex]Slope = \frac{-4\;-\;(-5)}{0\;-\;(-3)}\\\\Slope = \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Slope = 1/3.

From the standard equation, we have:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y - (-5) = 1/3(x - (-3))

y + 5 = 1/3x + 1

y = 1/3x + 1 - 5

y = 1/3x - 4

y 1/3x - 4.

Completing the square

Move the constant to the right side by adding 9 to both sides:

[tex]\implies x^2+3x=9[/tex]

Add the square of half the coefficient of x to both sides:

[tex]\implies x^2+3x+\left(\dfrac{3}{2}\right)^2=9+\left(\dfrac{3}{2}\right)^2[/tex]

[tex]\implies x^2+3x+\dfrac{9}{4}=\dfrac{45}{4}[/tex]

Factor the trinomial on the left side:

[tex]\implies \left(x+\dfrac{3}{2}\right)^2=\dfrac{45}{4}[/tex]

Square root both sides:

[tex]\implies x+\dfrac{3}{2}=\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{45}{4}}[/tex]

[tex]\implies x+\dfrac{3}{2}=\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{45}}{\sqrt{4}}}[/tex]

[tex]\implies x+\dfrac{3}{2}=\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{9 \cdot 5}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\implies x+\dfrac{3}{2}=\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{9} \sqrt{5}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\implies x+\dfrac{3}{2}=\pm\dfrac{3\sqrt{5}}{2}[/tex]

Subtract 3/2 from both sides:
