Answer:

X= -4

Step-by-step explanation:

First you subtract both sides by 3. You will get:

5x=-20

then you divide both sides by 5

-20/5=-4 so

x=-4

Answer:

x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

3+5x=-7

-3+5x=-7-3

5x=-10

5/x=-10/5

x=-2

The probability density function of the time to failure of an electronic component in a copier (in hours) is f(x) for Determine

salantis [7]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

The probability density function of the time to failure of an electronic component in a copier (in hours) is

$f(x)=\frac{e^{\frac{-x}{1000} }}{1000}$

for x > 0. Determine the probability that

a. A component lasts more than 3000 hours before failure.

b. A componenet fails in the interval from 1000 to 2000 hours.

c. A component fails before 1000 hours.

d. Determine the number of hours at which 10% of all components have failed.

Answer: a. P(x>3000) = 0.5

b. P(1000<x<2000) = 0.2325

c. P(x<1000) = 0.6321

d. 105.4 hours

Step-by-step explanation: <em>Probability Density Function</em> is a function defining the probability of an outcome for a discrete random variable and is mathematically defined as the derivative of the distribution function.

So, probability function is given by:

P(a<x<b) = $\int\limits^b_a {P(x)} \, dx$

Then, for the electronic component, probability will be:

P(a<x<b) = $\int\limits^b_a {\frac{e^{\frac{-x}{1000} }}{1000} } \, dx$

P(a<x<b) = $\frac{1000}{1000}.e^{\frac{-x}{1000} }$

P(a<x<b) = $e^{\frac{-b}{1000} }-e^\frac{-a}{1000}$

a. For a component to last more than 3000 hours:

P(3000<x<∞) = $e^{\frac{-3000}{1000} }-e^\frac{-a}{1000}$

Exponential equation to the infinity tends to zero, so:

P(3000<x<∞) = $e^{-3}$

P(3000<x<∞) = 0.05

There is a probability of 5% of a component to last more than 3000 hours.

b. Probability between 1000 and 2000 hours:

P(1000<x<2000) = $e^{\frac{-2000}{1000} }-e^\frac{-1000}{1000}$

P(1000<x<2000) = $e^{-2}-e^{-1}$

P(1000<x<2000) = 0.2325

There is a probability of 23.25% of failure in that interval.

c. Probability of failing between 0 and 1000 hours:

P(0<x<1000) = $e^{\frac{-1000}{1000} }-e^\frac{-0}{1000}$

P(0<x<1000) = $e^{-1}-1$

P(0<x<1000) = 0.6321

There is a probability of 63.21% of failing before 1000 hours.

d. P(x) = $e^{\frac{-b}{1000} }-e^\frac{-a}{1000}$

0.1 = $1-e^\frac{-x}{1000}$

$-e^{\frac{-x}{1000} }=-0.9$

${\frac{-x}{1000} }=ln0.9$

-x = -1000.ln(0.9)

x = 105.4

10% of the components will have failed at 105.4 hours.

Simplify completely: 8x+4/x^3+23÷4x^2-10x-6/9-x^2

Helen [10]

Answer:

The simplified form is: $-x^2-2x+\frac{4}{x^3}+\frac{23}{4x^2}-\frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify the expression given we, need to open the brackets, and if there is power term. Then we need to group all the like terms and then arrange in the descending order of powers of the given expression.

Now the expression that is given to us is:

$8x+\frac{4}{x^3}+\frac{23}{4x^2}-10x-\frac{6}{9}-x^2$

Here we will simplify it by grouping the like terms, as follows:

$8x+\frac{4}{x^3}+\frac{23}{4x^2}-10x-\frac{6}{9}-x^2\\=-x^2+8x-10x+\frac{4}{x^3}+\frac{23}{4x^2}-\frac{6}{9}=-x^2-2x+\frac{4}{x^3}+\frac{23}{4x^2}-\frac{2}{3}$

So this is the required simplified form.
