Answer: X < -3


Step-by-step explanation:

-15x - 3 > 42

-15x - 3 + 3 > 42 + 3

-15x > 45

-15x/-15 > 45/-15

Since we are dividing by a negative, we flip the >

x < -3

So, let's check

-4 < -3

-15*-4 - 3 > 42

60 - 3 > 42

57 > 42

Now, let's see if -3 will work.

-15*-3 - 3 > 42

45 - 3 > 42

42 > 42 (False)

Okay, now let's try 4

-15*4 - 3 > 42

-60 - 3 > 42

-63 > 42

This is false, so it is x < -3

The correct answer is x < -3

Explanation:

To solve our equation we first need to set out our equation, -15x – 3 > 42. Next, we add 3 to both sides of our equation, -15x - 3 + 3 > 42 + 3 = -15x > 45. Then, we multiply both sides by -1(Or in other words, reverse the inequality), -15x * -1 > 45 * -1 = 15x < -45. And then, we divide both sides by 15, 15x/15 < -45/15 = x < -3. Finally, we have our answer of x < -3.

Hope This Helps!!!

A light bulb has a lifetime X that is exponentially distributed with a mean 340 hours. Find the probability that the bulb lifeti
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

0.7026

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X denote the lifetime of light bulb. Given X \sim Exp(\lambda) where the mean is E(X) = 340 =\frac{1}{\lambda} \implies \lambda = \frac{1}{340} = 0.00294.

Recall that,

\displaystyle P(X>x) = 1 - \int_0^x e^{-\lambda x} = 1 - (1 - e^{-\lambda x} = e^{-\lambda x}

\displaystyle P(X>220 | X>100) = \frac{P(X>220,X>100)}{P(X>100)} = \frac{e^{-\lambda \times 220}}{e^{-\lambda \times 100}} = \frac{0.5236}{0.7452} = 0.7026

How to do Simplification of algebraic fractions
Marysya12 [62]
If we want to simplify Algebraic Fractions:
We have to take a look at the numerator and the denominator
Why? Because to simplify we need to have a common multiple.
When we find the common multiple, we now know by which factor we have to break down the fraction in the numerator and the denominator
I have some examples attached below for help.
