Continuous Probability Distributions
Probability distributions are of two types, which are continuous probability distributions and discrete probability distributions. A continuous probability distribution contains an infinite number of values. For example, if time is infinite: you could co…

Chapter 2.1, Problem 36E

A friend claims that as x becomes large, the expression 1 + 1 / x gets closer to 1 , and 1 raised to any power is still 1 . Therefore, f x = 1 + 1 / x x gets closer and closer to 1 as x gets larger. Use a graphing calculator to graph f on 0.1 ≤ x ≤ 50 . How might you use this graph to explain to the friend why f x does not approach 1 as x becomes large? What does it approach?

Rylee's car is stuck in the mud. Roman and Shanice come along in a truck to help pull her out. They attach one end of a tow strap to the front of the car and the other end to the truck's trailer hitch, and the truck starts to pull. Meanwhile, Roman and Shanice get behind the car and push. The truck generates a horizontal force of 377 lb on the car. Roman and Shanice are pushing at a slight upward angle and generate a force of 119 lb on the car. These forces can be represented by vectors, as shown in the figure below. The angle between these vectors is 20.2°. Find the resultant force (the vector sum), then give its magnitude and its direction angle from the positive x-axis. 119 lb 20.2° 377 lb
