<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>

Use the discriminant to determine the number of real solutions of the equation.<br> x^2 = -6x - 10
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

No real solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 6x + 10 = 0

a = 1

b = 6

c = 10

D = b² - 4ac = 6² - 4*1*10 = 36 - 40 = - 4

- 4 < 0,

so this equation has no real solutions.

Which expressions are equivalent to 3(6+b)-(2b + 1)?
Anna [14]

Answer:

18+3b-2b-1

b+17

Step-by-step explanation:

\mathrm{Using\:the\:distributive\:law}:\quad \:-\left(a+b\right)=-a-b

-\left(2b+1\right)=-2b-1

=3\left(6+b\right)-2b-1

=18+3b-2b-1

\mathrm{Group\:like\:terms}

=3b-2b+18-1

\mathrm{Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:18-1=17

=3b-2b+17

\mathrm{Add\:similar\:terms:}\:3b-2b=b

=b+17

1. In which quadrant or on which axis do each of the points (-2,4) , (3,-1) ,(-1,0), (1,2) and (-3,-5) lie? Verify your answer b
pashok25 [27]

Point (-2 , 4) lies in the 2nd quadrant

Point (3 , -1) lies in the 4th quadrant

Point (-1 , 0) lies on the negative part of the x-axis

Point (1 , 2) lies in the 1st quadrant

Point (-3 , -5) lies in the 3rd quadrant

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the signs of the coordinates in each quadrant

  • x and y coordinates are positive in the 1st quadrant
  • x-coordinate is negative and y-coordinate is positive in the 2nd quadrant
  • x and y coordinates are negative in the 3rd quadrant
  • x-coordinate is positive and y-coordinate is negative in the 4th quadrant
  • The general point on the positive part of x-axis is (x , 0), and on the negative part of x-axis is (-x , 0)
  • The general point on the positive part of y-axis is (0 , y), and on the negative part of y-axis is (0 , -y)

Now let us check the points

Point (-2 , 4) ⇒ red point

∵ x = -2 and y = 4

∵ x-coordinate is negative and y-coordinate is positive

∴ Point (-2 , 4) lies in the 2nd quadrant

Point (3 , -1) ⇒ blue point

∵ x = 3 and y = -1

∵ x-coordinate is positive and y-coordinate is negative

∴ Point (3 , -1) lies in the 4th quadrant

Point (-1 , 0) ⇒ green point

∵ x = -1 and y = 0

∵ x-coordinate is negative and y-coordinate is zero

∴ Point (-1 , 0) lies on the negative part of the x-axis

Point (1 , 2) ⇒ purple point

∵ x = 1 and y =2

∵ x and y coordinates are positive

∴ Point (1 , 2) lies in the 1st quadrant

Point (-3 , -5) ⇒ black point

∵ x = -3 and y = -5

∵ x and y coordinates are negative

∴ Point (-3 , -5) lies in the 3rd quadrant
