Answer:

The probability is 0.44444.

Step-by-step explanation:

Among 9 electrical components exactly one is known not to function properly.

This means 8 components work properly.

If 4 components are randomly selected, the probability that at least one does not function properly is :

\frac{8c3 \times1c1}{9c4}

= \frac{56}{126} =0.44444

Answer: The probability is 0.44444.

Answer:

0.4444

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the following property to ease the calculation:

P(At least one)=1-P(None)

Total number of electrical components: 9

Number that does not function well :1

Number that functions well : 8

We have ^8C_4=70 ways to to choose 4 good components from 8.

We have ^9C_4=126 ways to choose 4 components from a total of 9.

If all function properly then none is bad, we ^1C_0=1 way to do this.

P(At least one)=1-\frac{^8C_4*^1C_0}{^9C_4}

P(At least one)=1-\frac{70*1}{126}

P(At least one)=0.4444

Find dy/dx if f(x) = (x + 8)^3x.
vlabodo [156]
This is quite a complex problem. I wrote out a really nice solution but I can't work out how to put it on the website as the app is very poorly made. Still, I'll just have to type it all in...

Okay so you need to use a technique called logarithmic differentiation. It seems quite unnatural to start with but the result is very impressive.

Let y = (x+8)^(3x)

Take the natural log of both sides:

ln(y) = ln((x+8)^(3x))

By laws of logarithms, this can be rearranged:

ln(y) = 3xln(x+8)

Next, differentiate both sides. By implicit differentiation:

d/dx(ln(y)) = 1/y dy/dx

The right hand side is harder to differentiate. Using the substitution u = 3x and v = ln(x+8):

d/dx(3xln(x+8)) = d/dx(uv)

du/dx = 3

Finding dv/dx is harder, and involves the chain rule. Let a = x+ 8:

v = ln(a)
da/dx = 1
dv/da = 1/a

By chain rule:

dv/dx = dv/da * da/dx = 1/a = 1/(x+8)

Finally, use the product rule:

d/dx(uv) = u * dv/dx + v * du/dx = 3x/(x+8) + 3ln(x+8)

This overall produces the equation:

1/y * dy/dx = 3x/(x+8) + 3ln(x+8)

We want to solve for dy/dx, achievable by multiplying both sides by y:

dy/dx = y(3x/(x+8) + 3ln(x+8))

Since we know y = (x+8)^(3x):

dy/dx = ((x+8)^(3x))(3x/(x+8) + 3ln(x+8))

Neatening this up a bit, we factorise out 3/(x+8):

dy/dx = (3(x+8)^(3x-1))(x + (x+8)ln(x+8))

Well wasn't that a marathon? It's a nightmare typing that in, I hope you can follow all the steps.

I hope this helped you :)
