A shuttle launch depends on three key devices that may fail independently of each other with probabilities 0.01, 0.02, and 0.02,

respectively. If any of the key devices fails, the launch will be postponed. Compute the probability for the shuttle to be launched on time, according to its schedule.

Answer:

0.950796

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a shuttle launch depends on three key devices that may fail independently of each other with probabilities 0.01, 0.02, and 0.02, respectively.

Required probability =  the probability for the shuttle to be launched on time

= Probability that all three do not fail

Since each key device is independent of the other

we have

prob that all three do not fail = (1-0.01)(1-0.02)(1-0.02)\\=0.99*0.98*0.98\\=0.950796

Find the equation of the line through (0,4) perpendicular to the line y = 3x
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

y =  -  \frac{1}{3} x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line is usually written in the form of y=mx+c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

The product of the gradients of perpendicular lines is -1.

Gradient of given line= 3.

(Gradient of line)(3)= -1

3m= -1

m= -  \frac{1}{3}

subst. m= -  \frac{1}{3} into the equation:

y =  -  \frac{1}{3} x + c

To find the value of c, substitute a coordinate.

When x=0, y=4,

4 =  -  \frac{1}{ 3} (0) + c \\ 4 = c \\ c = 4

Thus the equation of the line is y =  -\frac{1}{3} x + 4.

4. Mr. Downey used the function f(x) = -3x2 + 12x to model the flight of a glider. In Mr. Downey's
tankabanditka [31]

Answer: 120 seconds

Step-by-step explanation: In order to find the maximum value of a function, you can take the derivative of the function and equalize the result to 0.

f'(x)=(-3x^2 + 12x)'=-6x+12=0

x=2

When x is 2, the function will reach its maximum value.

f(2)=-3(2)^2 + 12.2 = -12 + 24 = 12

The maximum value (f(x)) is equal to 12 and the time passed is 2 minutes which is equal to 120 seconds.
