A machine needs 2 of its gears replaced. You find 2 gears, one manufactured 5 years ago and the other manufactured 10 years ago.

The specifications sheet says that the chance of failure is 5% after 5 years and increases to 8% after 10 years. If the gears on the machine are in no way linked to each other, what are the chances that both will fail?

These are independent events so
P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B)

Therefore
P(Both gears fail) = 0.05 * 0.08 = 0.004 or 0.4%

The base of a solid in the xy-plane is a circle with a radius of 3. cross sections of the solid perpendicular to the x-axis are
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

\large \boxed{144}

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Set up the integral.

The equation for the circle is

x² + y² = 9

The bottom corners of the square are at  

(x, \sqrt{9 - x^{2}})\text{ and } (x, -\sqrt{9 - x^{2}})

The length (a) of a side is

a = 2\sqrt{9 - x^{2}}

and the area (A) of the square cross-section is

A = a² = 4(9 - x²)

The volume (V) of the solid is

V = \displaystyle \int_{-3}^{3} {4(9 - x^{2})} dx

2. Solve the integral

\displaystyle \int_{-3}^{3} {4(9 - x^{2})} dx = 4\begin{bmatrix}9x - \frac{1}{3}x^{3}\end{bmatrix}_{-3}^{3}= 4[(27 - 9) - (-27 +9)] = 4[18 - (-18)]\\= 4[18 + 18] = 4 \times36 = \mathbf{144}\\\\\text{The volume of the solid is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{144}}$}
