Answer:

0.095163

Step-by-step explanation:

given that a starter motor used in a space vehicle has a high rate of reliability and was reputed to start on any given occasion with probability .99999

Here we find that for any start, there are exactly two outcomes either success or failure.

Also each start is independent of the other since p = 0.99999 for succss is given constant.

Thus X no of successes is binomial with p = 0.99999 and n =10000

If Y is taken as failure then Y is binomial with p' = 0.00001 and n =10000

Required probability

= the probability of at least one failure in the next 10,000 starts

= 1-P(no failure in 10000 starts)

=1-(0.99999)^{10000} \\=0.095163

Tommy has a screw whose length is 4 cm and its thread length is 16 cm. What is the mechanical advantage of the screw?
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

a screw is a simple machine that works as a modified inclined plane. You can think of the thread of the screw as an inclined plane wrapped around the shaft of the screw. The slope of the screw is the distance for one complete rotation while the height of the inclined plane is the distance between the threads, known as pitch. The relationship between the pitch and circumference of the screw gives the mechanical advantage.

Show all work to solve 3x^2 + 5x − 2 = 0
Ratling [72]

Answer:

x=1/3 or x=−2

if i can be brainliest that would be great

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Add 2 to both sides.

3x^2+5x−2+2=0+2

3x^2+5x=2

Step 2: Since the coefficient of 3x^2 is 3, divide both sides by 3.

3x^2+5x/3=2/3

x^2+5/3x=2/3

Step 3: The coefficient of 5/3x is 5/3. Let b=5/3.

Then we need to add (b/2)^2=25/36 to both sides to complete the square.

Add 25/36 to both sides.

x^2+5/3x+25/36=2/3+25/36

x^2+5/3x+25/36=49/36

Step 4: Factor left side.

(x+5/6)^2=49/36

Step 5: Take square root.

x+5/6=±√49/36

Step 6: Add (-5)/6 to both sides.

x+5/6+ −5/6=

−5/6±√49/36x=−5/6±√49/36x=

1/3 or x=−2

Find the intersection point between the lines of equations:<br><br>2x-y+6=0 and 2x+3y-6=0 ​
Ugo [173]

Step-by-step explanation:

The two equation will intersect each other at the point which will be the solution of the given two equations , and the given equations are ,

\implies 2x -y +6=0\\\\\implies 2x + 3y -6=0

On subtracting the given equations we have,

\implies -y - 3y +6 -(-6) = 0 \\\\\implies -4y = -12 \\\\\implies y = -12/-4\\\\\implies y = 3

Put this value in any equation , we have ,

\implies 2x -3 +6 =0\\\\\implies 2x = -3 \\\\\implies x =\dfrac{-3}{2} \\\\\implies x =-1.5

Hence the lines will Intersect at ,

\implies\underline{\underline{ Point=(-1.5, 3)}}
