What are the solutions of the equation x6 – 9x3 + 8 = 0? Use u substitution to solve.

1 answer:

4 0

X6 – 9x3 + 8 = 0
let u = x^3
u^2 - 9u + 8 = 0
(u-8)(u-1) = 0
u = 1,8
back substitute
1 = x^3
8 = x^3

A fair six-sided die is rolled. Find the probability of getting a 4.

madam [21]

Answer:

A fair six-sized die is rolled. Find the probability of getting at least a 4.

There are 6 outcomes and three of them are 4, 5 or 6, so the probability of greater than or equal to 4 is 3/6=½.

An old house in Pomona, CA is inhabited by a variety of ghosts. Ghost appearances occur in the house according to a Poisson proc

shutvik [7]

Answer:

The probability is 0.503

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ghost appearances occur in the house according to a Poisson process with mean m, the time between appearances follows a exponential distribution with mean 1/m. so, the probability that the next ghost appearance happens before x hours is equal to:

$P(X\leq x)=1-e^{-xm}$

Then, replacing m by 1.4 ghosts per hour we get:

$P(X\leq x)=1-e^{-1.4x}$

Additionally, The exponential distribution have a memoryless property, so if it is now 1:00 p.m. and we want the probability that ghost appear before 1:30 p.m., we need to find the difference in hours from 1:00 p.m and 1:30 p.m. no matter that the last ghost appearance was at 12:35 p.m.

Therefore, there are 0.5 hours between 1:00 p.m. and 1:30 p.m, so the probability that the 7th ghost will appear before 1:30 p.m is calculated as:

$P(x\leq 0.5)=1-e^{-1.4*0.5} =0.503$
