<span>Shortest side = x, Longest Side = 4x-1, third side = 18 Equation is x + (4x-1) + 18 = 42 so 5x-1 = 42-18=24 and 5x=25 so x = 5, longest side = 4(5)-1=19, third side=18 Add all 3 (5+19+18) to get 42</span>

At a manufacturing plant where switches are made, it is a known fact that 2% of all switches are defective. If two switches are
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

The probability that exactly one switch is good is

P(x) =0.0392

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that a switch is defective is:

P(D) = \frac{2}{100} =0.02

The probability that a switch is not defective is

P(D') = 1-P(D)=0.98

Therefore, if two switches are selected, the probability that exactly 1 is good is:

P(1=1)=P (D) P (D ') + P (D') P (D)

P(x)=(0.02)(0.98) + (0.98)(0.02)

P(x) =0.0392

The function g(x)=x^2+3. The f(x)=g(x+2)
vekshin1

Answer:

f(x)=x^2+6x+12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The function 'g(x)' is given as:

g(x)=x^2+3

Now, the function 'f(x)' is given as:

f(x)=g(x+2)

So, the function 'f(x)' is a transformation of 'g(x)'.

In order to find f(x), we replace 'x' by (x + 2) in the 'g(x)' function equation. This gives,

g(x+2)=(x+2)^2+3

Using the identity (a+b)^2=a^2+b^2+2ab, we get:

g(x+2)=x^2+3^2+6x+3\\\\g(x+2)=x^2+9+6x+3\\\\g(x+2)=x^2+6x+12

Hence the function f(x) is given as:

f(x)=x^2+6x+12
