Answer:

a. 1/10 or 10%

b. 1/2 or 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the combination of machines 1, 2 and 3 produce 100% of the total output when added together, then the probability of choosing a bolt at random that is defective is: 5 + 2 + 3 = 10% out of 100% or 10/100, which is 1/10 or 10%.

If the bolt that is choosen at random is defective, than the probability that it came from machine 1 is 5/10 or 1/2 which is also 50%.

E^2x -2e^x -8=0   =>    e<span>^(2x)  -2e^x -8=0

Temporarily replace e^x with y.

Then (y)^2 - 2y - 8 = 0.  Factors are (y-4) and (y+2).

Roots are y = 4 and y= -2.

Now remembering that we temporarily replaced e^x with y, we let 
y=4 = e^x.  We need to solve for x.  Taking the natural log of both sides, we get:

ln 4 = x (answer)

We have to discard the other root (y= -2), because we cannot take the ln of a negative number.

Jeremiah received $65 for his birthday and used part of it to buy 3 video games. The games cost the same amount, and he had $14
hram777 [196]

Jeremiah got $65 on birthday and spent some money on 3 video games and was left with $14.

He purchased 3 video games.

Let the cost one one video game be v.

The cost of each video game is same

So the cost of 3 video games is 3v.

Also he is left with $14 after paying for three games.

Hence

3v + 14 = 65

Subtracting 14 from both sides

3v + 14 -14 = 65-14

3v = 51

Dividing by 3 on both sides

v = 51/3

v = 17

Hence the cost of each video game is $17
