<span>As of January 8, 2015, the U.S. is $18.1 trillion in debt. (Source: National Priorities Project)

1 Trillion 

= 1 Thousand Billion

= 1,000,000,000,000

= 10</span>¹²
<span>
---------------------------

U.S National debt currently stands at:

$ 18.1 x 10</span><span>¹²
</span><span>
*What information would be lost? Well firstly the 0's. The 0's put the size of the number into perspective. The word "trillion" would also be taken out of the picture, once again altering the perspective of the number.

Personally I'd prefer to hear "18.1 Trillion Dollars". Sounds more interesting.

What are the zeros in the function f(x)=(2x+6)(x-4)
Shtirlitz [24]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

x = -3, 4

Discussion:

The zeroes of f(x) are the x values where

2x + 6 = 0   =>  x = -3

and

x - 4 = 0   => x = 4

Thank you,

MrB

Need help solving x
viva [34]

The coefficient of x in the equation is 1/(300 grams). Multiply by the reciprocal of that, which is (300 grams).

x = (300 grams)×(2 grams)/(100 grams) = (300×2/100) grams = 6 grams

_____

This is the way you solve any equation where x is multiplied by some value in the only term on one side of the equal sign.

The life of a semiconductor laser at a constant power is normally distributed with a mean of 7,000 hours and a standard deviatio
Scrat [10]

This question not incomplete

Complete Question

The life of a semiconductor laser at a constant power is normally distributed with a mean of 7,000 hours and a standard deviation of 600 hours. If three lasers are used in a product and they are assumed to fail independently, the probability that all three are still operating after 7,000 hours is closest to? Assuming percentile = 95%

Answer:

0.125

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming for 95%

z score for 95th percentile = 1.645

We find the Probability using z table.

P(z = 1.645) = P( x ≤ 7000)

= P(x<Z) = 0.95

After 7000 hours = P > 7000

= 1 - P(x < 7000)

= 1 - 0.95

= 0.05

If three lasers are used in a product and they are assumed to fail independently, the probability that all three are still operating after 7,000 hours is calculated as:

(P > 7000)³

(0.05)³ = 0.125
