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

What are the zeros of the function f(x) = x^2 + 2x- 8 / x^2 - 2x - 8
Veronika [31]

Answer:

x=-4 and x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the function

f(x)=\dfrac{x^2+2x-8}{x^2-2x-8}

The zeros of the function are those value of x, for which f(x)=0

First, find x for which function is undefined

x^2-2x-8\neq0\\ \\x^2-4x+2x-8\neq 0\\ \\x(x-4)+2(x-4)\neq 0\\ \\(x-4)(x+2)\neq 0\\ \\x\neq 4\text{ and }x\neq -2

Now find points at which f(x)=0:

f(x)=0\Rightarrow x^2+2x-8=0\\ \\x^2+4x-2x-8=0\\ \\x(x+4)-2(x+4)=0\\ \\(x-2)(x+4)=0\\ \\x=2\text{ or }x=-4

For both these values (x=-4 and x=2) function f(x) is defined, then x=-4 and x=2 are zeros of the function.
