Hi,

Work:

Equation;

|5 - x|  = 2

Rewrite the absolute value equation as two separate equations, one positive and the other one negative.

5  - x = 2 \\ 5 - x =  - 2

Solve both equations for x.

x = 3 \\ x = 7

Final solutions:

x1 = 3 \\ x2 = 7

Hope this helps.

Consider the following portion of an electric circuit with three relays. Current will flow from point a to point b if there is a
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

0.9009

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the event that Current will flow

Let Y be the event that the first relay which is 1 is closed

Thus, we can say that every element of Y is in X, but X possesses more elements. Thus, Y ⊂ X.

Thus, we can say that;

P(X ∩ Y) = P(Y)

Thus, given that current flowed, the probability that relay 1 functioned will be expressed as;

P(Y | X) = (P(Y ∩ X))/P(X)

From earlier, we saw that P(X ∩ Y) = P(Y). Thus;

P(Y | X) = P(Y)/P(X)

From the question, P(Y) = 0.9

Since there are 3 relays, then we have;

P(X) = 1 - 0.1³ = 0.999

Thus;

P(Y | X) = 0.9/0.999

P(Y | X) = 0.9009

Plot two points that are 3units from Point C and also share the same y-coordinate as Point C.
egoroff_w [7]

The two points at a distance of 3 units from C with the same y coordinate are (-3, -5) and (-9, -5).

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

First, we must plot the point C on the graph. Point C is on the third quadrant so the x value and the y value are negative.

The coordinate of C is (-6, -5).

We need to plot two points that are 3 units away from point C but have the same y coordinate i.e. y = -5.

Step 2:

So assume the two other points are A and B.

The y coordinates of A and B are -5. Only the x coordinate varies. So in order to get the coordinates of point A and B, we add and subtract 3 from the x coordinate of point C.

Point A = (-6+3, -5) = (-3,-5).

Point B = (-6-3, -5) = (-9, -5).

So two points at a distance of 3 units from C with the same y coordinate are (-3, -5) and (-9, -5).
