Find the value of 3x+6 given that -2x-8= 8

1 answer:

8 0

-18 because when you solve -2x-8=8 you get that x=-8 (plus 8 on both sides, then divide by -2 to isolate x) and then if you plug -8 in with 3, you get -24 then add the 6 which is -18.

salantis [7]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

The probability density function of the time to failure of an electronic component in a copier (in hours) is

$f(x)=\frac{e^{\frac{-x}{1000} }}{1000}$

for x > 0. Determine the probability that

a. A component lasts more than 3000 hours before failure.

b. A componenet fails in the interval from 1000 to 2000 hours.

c. A component fails before 1000 hours.

d. Determine the number of hours at which 10% of all components have failed.

Answer: a. P(x>3000) = 0.5

b. P(1000<x<2000) = 0.2325

c. P(x<1000) = 0.6321

d. 105.4 hours

Step-by-step explanation: Probability Density Function is a function defining the probability of an outcome for a discrete random variable and is mathematically defined as the derivative of the distribution function.

So, probability function is given by:

P(a<x<b) = $\int\limits^b_a {P(x)} \, dx$

Then, for the electronic component, probability will be:

P(a<x<b) = $\int\limits^b_a {\frac{e^{\frac{-x}{1000} }}{1000} } \, dx$

P(a<x<b) = $\frac{1000}{1000}.e^{\frac{-x}{1000} }$

P(a<x<b) = $e^{\frac{-b}{1000} }-e^\frac{-a}{1000}$

a. For a component to last more than 3000 hours:

P(3000<x<∞) = $e^{\frac{-3000}{1000} }-e^\frac{-a}{1000}$

Exponential equation to the infinity tends to zero, so:

P(3000<x<∞) = $e^{-3}$

P(3000<x<∞) = 0.05

There is a probability of 5% of a component to last more than 3000 hours.

b. Probability between 1000 and 2000 hours:

P(1000<x<2000) = $e^{\frac{-2000}{1000} }-e^\frac{-1000}{1000}$

P(1000<x<2000) = $e^{-2}-e^{-1}$

P(1000<x<2000) = 0.2325

There is a probability of 23.25% of failure in that interval.

c. Probability of failing between 0 and 1000 hours:

P(0<x<1000) = $e^{\frac{-1000}{1000} }-e^\frac{-0}{1000}$

P(0<x<1000) = $e^{-1}-1$

P(0<x<1000) = 0.6321

There is a probability of 63.21% of failing before 1000 hours.

d. P(x) = $e^{\frac{-b}{1000} }-e^\frac{-a}{1000}$

0.1 = $1-e^\frac{-x}{1000}$

$-e^{\frac{-x}{1000} }=-0.9$

${\frac{-x}{1000} }=ln0.9$

-x = -1000.ln(0.9)

x = 105.4

10% of the components will have failed at 105.4 hours.

Find equations of the tangent plane and the normal line to the given surface at the specified point. x + y + z = 8exyz, (0, 0, 8

Dima020 [189]

Let $f(x,y,z)=x+y+z-8e^{xyz}$ . The tangent plane to the surface at (0, 0, 8) is

$\nabla f(0,0,8)\cdot(x,y,z-8)=0$

The gradient is

$\nabla f(x,y,z)=\left(1-8yze^{xyz},1-8xze^{xyz},1-8xye^{xyz}\right)$

so the tangent plane's equation is

$(1,1,1)\cdot(x,y,z-8)=0\implies x+y+(z-8)=0\implies x+y+z=8$

The normal vector to the plane at (0, 0, 8) is the same as the gradient of the surface at this point, (1, 1, 1). We can get all points along the line containing this vector by scaling the vector by $t$ , then ensure it passes through (0, 0, 8) by translating the line so that it does. Then the line has parametric equation

$(1,1,1)t+(0,0,8)=(t,t,t+8)$

or $x(t)=t$ , $y(t)=t$ , and $z(t)=t+8$ .

(See the attached plot; the given surface is orange, (0, 0, 8) is the black point, the tangent plane is blue, and the red line is the normal at this point)
