The average lifetime of a set of tires is 3.4 years. The manufacturer will replace any set of tires failing within three years o

f the date of purchase. The lifetime of these tires is known to follow an exponential distribution. What is the probability that the tires will fail within three years of the date of purchase?

Answer: the probability that the tires will fail within three years of the date of purchase is 0.12

Step-by-step explanation:

The average lifetime of a set of tires is 3.4 years. It means that μ = 3.4

Decay parameter, m = 1/3.4 = 0.294

The probability density function is

f(x) = me^-mx

Where x is a continuous random variable representing the time interval of interest(the reliability period that we are testing)

Since x = 3 years,

Therefore, the probability that the tires will fail within three years of the date of purchase is

f(3) = 0.294e^-(0.294 × 3)

f(3) = 0.294e^- 0.882

f(3) = 0.12

Step-by-step explanation:

Constant is value in equation that DOES NOT change. Varibales such as x and y will change. Coefficent are things that are written in front of variable.

Factor completely x^8- 16.
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:


So in this example we'll be using the difference of squares which essentially states that: (a-b)(a+b)=a^2-b^2 or another way to think of it would be: a-b=(\sqrt{a}-\sqrt{b})(\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b}). So in this example you'll notice both terms are perfect squares. in fact x^n is a perfect square as long as n is even. This is because if it's even it can be split into two groups evenly for example, in this case we have x^8. so the square root is x^4 because you can split this up into (x * x * x * x) * (x * x * x * x) = x^8. Two groups with equal value multiplying to get x^8, that's what the square root is. So using these we can rewrite the equation as:

x^8-16 = (x^4-4)(x^4+4)

Now in this case you'll notice the degree is still even (it's 4) and the 4 is also a perfect square, and it's a difference of squares in one of the factors, so it can further be rewritten:

x^4-4 = (x^2-2)(x^2+2)

So completely factored form is: (x^2-2)(x^2+4)(x^4+4)

I'm assuming that's considered completely factored but you can technically factor it further. While the identity difference of squares technically only applies to difference of squares, it can also be used on the sum of squares, but you need to use imaginary numbers. Because x^2+4 = x^2-(-4). and in this case a=x^2 and b=-4. So rewriting it as the difference of squares becomes: x^4+4 = x^4 - (-4) = (x^2-\sqrt{-4})(x^2+\sqrt{-4}) = (x^2-2i)(x^2+2i) just something that might be useful in some cases.
