A single cell can either die, with probability0.1, or split into two cells, withprobability0.90, producing a new generation of c

ells. Each cell in the secondgeneration dies or splits into two cells independently with the same probabilitiesas the initial cell. Find the probability distribution for the number of cells inthe third generation.

Answer: The probability distribution for the number of cells in the third generation is a Binomial distribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use binomial distribution when we have repeated process and the outcome is either a success or a failure.

The probability of success. P ( probability of dying). The probability of failure q ( probability of splitting into two).

The formula for binomial distribution is : n combination x multiplied by p raised to power x multiplied by q raised to power n-x.

Solve x4 – 17x2 + 16 = 0.<br> Let u =<br> Select all of the zeroes of the function. i i
Soloha48 [4]

Solve \ x^4 - 17x^2 + 16 = 0

To solve this equation , we need to write it in quadratic form

ax^2+bx+c=0

To get the equation in quadratic form we replace x^2 with u

x^2 = u

x^4 - 17x^2 + 16 = 0 can be written as

(x^2)^2 - 17x^2 + 16 = 0, Replace u for x^2

So equation becomes

u^2 - 17u + 16 = 0

Now we factor the left hand side

-16  and -1  are the two factors whose product is +16  and sum is -17

(u-16) (u-1) = 0

u -16 = 0  so u=16

u-1 =0  so u=1

WE assume u = x^2, Now we replace u with x^2

u = 16 so \ it \ becomes \ x^2 =16

Now take square root on both sides , x= +4  and x=-4

u = 1 so \ it \ becomes \ x^2 =1

Now take square root on both sides , x= +1  and x=-1

So zeros of the function are -4, -1, 1, 4

Kasey has three pieces of wood that measure 9 inches, 12 inches, and 21 inches. Can she make a right triangle
Harrizon [31]

Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 2 sides together. If the sum of greater than the length of the 3rd side for all 3 options it can form a right triangle if it doesn’t than it can’t:

9 + 12 = 21 which is not greater than the 3rd side length of 21 so this cannot form a right triangle.
