Answer:
x = ±2sqrt(15)
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 = 60
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(60)
x = ±sqrt(60)
x = ±sqrt(4 *15)
x = ±2sqrt(15)
In an equation like that, y would double into 2y. But just keep in mind that what happens to one side must happen to another.
Probability that gear 1 will fail = 5/100 (upto 10 years)
and 8/100 (after 10 years)
Probability that both will fail = 5/100 * 8/100
= 40/10000
= 0.4 %
Is the "4" apart of the question? if not then the answer is v=2/9
