<span>0.002 For 6 systems with exactly 3 failures, you need to calculate 6 pick 3 or 6!/(3!3!) = 720/(6*6)=720/36=20 different combinations of 3 systems to fail. Now the probability of each of those failures will be the probability of the subsystems not failing times the probability of the subsystems fail. So 0.95^3 * 0.05^3 for 3 subsystem not failing time 3 subsystems failing. So 0.95^3 * 0.05^3 = 0.857375*0.000125 = 0.000107172. And multiply by the 6 pick 3 calculated earlier, gives. 0.000107172 * 20 = 0.002143438 And rounding to the nearest thousandth, gives 0.002</span>

What are the x-intercepts of y=x^2+2x-15
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

(-5,0) and (3,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Think about it.

What two numbers multiply to -15 and add up to 2?

The answers are 5 and -3.

So plug that into the factored form of a parabola.

y=(x+5)(x-3)

To find the x-intercepts, plug in 0 for y.

(x+5)(x-3)=0

Since we are multiplying, at least one of the terms has to equal 0.

x+5=0 \\ x-3=0 \\ \\ x=-5,3

So the x-intercepts are (-5,0) and (3,0).

I need helppp please :(
Andrej [43]

Step-by-step explanation:

2 ( 8 - 3c) = 4c - 34

16 - 6c = 4c - 34

6c + 4c = 16 + 34

10c = 50

c = 50/ 10

therefore c = 5

Hope it will help :)
