Rationalizing the denominator, simply means "getting rid of that pesky root at the bottom", and we do so by simply multiplying it by something to take it out, of course, we multiply the bottom, we have to also multiply the top,

For the first one is has greater then 3 terms
The middle one is has exactly one term
And the last one is has two terms
I believe I hope this helps
Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply the 6 by 3 and get 18, so do the same for the top, so 5 x3 = 15
Answer:
a) ![P[C]=p^n](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%5BC%5D%3Dp%5En)
b) ![P[M]=p^{8n}(9-8p^n)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%5BM%5D%3Dp%5E%7B8n%7D%289-8p%5En%29)
c) n=62
d) n=138
Step-by-step explanation:
Note: "Each chip contains n transistors"
a) A chip needs all n transistor working to function correctly. If p is the probability that a transistor is working ok, then:
![P[C]=p^n](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%5BC%5D%3Dp%5En)
b) The memory module works with when even one of the chips is defective. It means it works either if 8 chips or 9 chips are ok. The probability of the chips failing is independent of each other.
We can calculate this as a binomial distribution problem, with n=9 and k≥8:
![P[M]=P[C_9]+P[C_8]\\\\P[M]=\binom{9}{9}P[C]^9(1-P[C])^0+\binom{9}{8}P[C]^8(1-P[C])^1\\\\P[M]=P[C]^9+9P[C]^8(1-P[C])\\\\P[M]=p^{9n}+9p^{8n}(1-p^n)\\\\P[M]=p^{8n}(p^{n}+9(1-p^n))\\\\P[M]=p^{8n}(9-8p^n)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%5BM%5D%3DP%5BC_9%5D%2BP%5BC_8%5D%5C%5C%5C%5CP%5BM%5D%3D%5Cbinom%7B9%7D%7B9%7DP%5BC%5D%5E9%281-P%5BC%5D%29%5E0%2B%5Cbinom%7B9%7D%7B8%7DP%5BC%5D%5E8%281-P%5BC%5D%29%5E1%5C%5C%5C%5CP%5BM%5D%3DP%5BC%5D%5E9%2B9P%5BC%5D%5E8%281-P%5BC%5D%29%5C%5C%5C%5CP%5BM%5D%3Dp%5E%7B9n%7D%2B9p%5E%7B8n%7D%281-p%5En%29%5C%5C%5C%5CP%5BM%5D%3Dp%5E%7B8n%7D%28p%5E%7Bn%7D%2B9%281-p%5En%29%29%5C%5C%5C%5CP%5BM%5D%3Dp%5E%7B8n%7D%289-8p%5En%29)
c)
![P[M]=(0.999)^{8n}(9-8(0.999)^n)=0.9](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%5BM%5D%3D%280.999%29%5E%7B8n%7D%289-8%280.999%29%5En%29%3D0.9)
This equation was solved graphically and the result is that the maximum number of chips to have a reliability of the memory module equal or bigger than 0.9 is 62 transistors per chip. See picture attached.
d) If the memoty module tolerates 2 defective chips:
![P[M]=P[C_9]+P[C_8]+P[C_7]\\\\P[M]=\binom{9}{9}P[C]^9(1-P[C])^0+\binom{9}{8}P[C]^8(1-P[C])^1+\binom{9}{7}P[C]^7(1-P[C])^2\\\\P[M]=P[C]^9+9P[C]^8(1-P[C])+36P[C]^7(1-P[C])^2\\\\P[M]=p^{9n}+9p^{8n}(1-p^n)+36p^{7n}(1-p^n)^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%5BM%5D%3DP%5BC_9%5D%2BP%5BC_8%5D%2BP%5BC_7%5D%5C%5C%5C%5CP%5BM%5D%3D%5Cbinom%7B9%7D%7B9%7DP%5BC%5D%5E9%281-P%5BC%5D%29%5E0%2B%5Cbinom%7B9%7D%7B8%7DP%5BC%5D%5E8%281-P%5BC%5D%29%5E1%2B%5Cbinom%7B9%7D%7B7%7DP%5BC%5D%5E7%281-P%5BC%5D%29%5E2%5C%5C%5C%5CP%5BM%5D%3DP%5BC%5D%5E9%2B9P%5BC%5D%5E8%281-P%5BC%5D%29%2B36P%5BC%5D%5E7%281-P%5BC%5D%29%5E2%5C%5C%5C%5CP%5BM%5D%3Dp%5E%7B9n%7D%2B9p%5E%7B8n%7D%281-p%5En%29%2B36p%5E%7B7n%7D%281-p%5En%29%5E2)
We again calculate numerically and graphically and determine that the maximum number of transistor per chip in this conditions is n=138. See graph attached.
2 1/2 + 2 3/5 =
2 5/10 + 2 6/10=
4 11/10 = 5 1/10
5 1/10 - 5 = 1/10
1/10 lb left over
