|\Omega|=27^{39}\\|A|=1\\\\P(A)=\dfrac{1}{27^{39}}

In case you want it as a fraction

P(A)=\dfrac{1}{66555937033867822607895549241096482953017615834735226163}

Step-by-step answer:

There are 27 possibilities for each character typed.

The keys are striked randomly, so we assume independence between letters.

So the probability of hitting a specified character is 1/27.

Here the length of the string (excluding the final period, since it is not on the monkey's keyboard) is 39.

By the multiplication law of probability, the probability of multi-step independent events is the product of the probability of the individual events.

So probability of random typing resulting in the phrase

"to be or not to be that is the question"

= (1/27)^39

= 1/66555937033867822607895549241096482953017615834735226163

HELP ASAP I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!

Consider the function F(x)= x³ +½x² −2x +3. Use calc and algebra to find any and all stationary points on the graph of the function.Precalc need help ASAP

Solution:

the above function has more than one root or more than one solution. The derivative of the function represents the slope of the tangent line to the curve

F(x)= x³ +½x² −2x +3, F'(x) = 3(x3-1)+(1/2)(2)(x2-1)-2(x1-1)+0

F'(x)=3x2+x-2 is the slope of the tangent line

setting the slope =0 and solving the quadratic equations, you find all the

critical points of interest

3x2+x-2=0, solve by factoring (3x-2)(x+1)=0, then 3x-2=0, x= 2/3

and x+1=0, x=-1 substituting these values of x in the original equation

you get the corresponding values of F(x) such that;

F(x)= x³ +½x² −2x +3, F(x)=(2/3)3+1/2(2/3)2-2(2/3)+3

= 8/27+4/18-4/3+3 = 8/27+2/9-4/3+3/1 = 59/27 and the first point is

(2/3, 59/27)

F(x)= x³ +½x² −2x +3, F(x)=(-1)3+1/2(-1)2-2(-1)+3

= -1+1/2+2+3 = 9/2 and the 2nd point is ( -1, 9/2)

these two points represents points where the slope of the tangent line to the curve is 0 and could be either maximum or minimum points

You can also find the y intercepts where x = 0 F(x)= x³ +½x² −2x +3, setting x = 0, y= F(x)=3 and the point ( 0,3) is a y intercept setting y = 0, then x intercepts can be found upon solving the equation x³ +½x² −2x +3 =0
