Answer: Hence, Probability that a coffee maker will have a defective cord is 0.376=37.6%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Let A be the event of getting a faulty switch.

Let B be the event of getting a defective cord.

Here, P(A∪B) = 4% = 0.04

P(A∩B) = 0.1% = 0.001

P(A) = 2.5% = 0.025

We need to find P(B):

As we know that

P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)\\\\0.04=P(A)+0.025-0.001\\\\0.04=P(A)+0.024\\\\P(A)=0.04-0.024=0.376

Hence, Probability that a coffee maker will have a defective cord is 0.376=37.6%.

Find the domain of f/g
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

C. All real numbers except 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

f(x)=3x^2+x^4+2

g(x)=4x-3

Firstly, we will find f/g

\frac{f}{g}=\frac{3x^2+x^4+2}{4x-3}

Domain:

We know that domain is all possible values of x for which any function is defined

so, we know that denominator of any function can not be zero

so, firstly we set denominator =0

and then we can solve for x

4x-3=0

Add both sides by 3

4x-3+3=0+3

4x=3

x=\frac{3}{4}

so, this function is defined for all values of x except at

x=\frac{3}{4}

Domain will be

Identify whether the equation represents an exponential growth or exponential decay function.1. y = 1/4 (1/e)^-2x2. y = (1/e)^4x
zvonat [6]

The general formula for exponential growth and decays is:

y=y_0e^{kx}

if k>0 then then it is an exponential growth function. If k<0 then the function represents an exponential decay.

Now we need to classify each of the functions:

1.

The function

y=\frac{1}{4}(\frac{1}{e})^{-2x}

can be wrtten as:

\begin{gathered} y=\frac{1}{4}(e^{-1})^{-2x}^{} \\ =\frac{1}{4}e^{2x} \end{gathered}

comparing with the general formula we notice that k=2, therefore this is an exponential growth.

2.

The function

y=(\frac{1}{e})^{4x}

can be written as:

\begin{gathered} y=(\frac{1}{e})^{4x} \\ y=(e^{-1})^{4x} \\ y=e^{-4x} \end{gathered}

comparing with the general formula we notice that k=-4, therefore this is an exponential decay.

3.

The function

y=2e^{-x}+1

comparing with the general formula we notice that k=-1, therefore this is an exponential decay.
