Answer:
0.000298 = 0.0298% probability that the system will collapse
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of possible ways the system can fail:
2 lines from a set of 3 fail, or all three fail.
Two from a set of 3:
Can be A and B, A and C, or B and C. Three possible outcomes then.
The probability of each is:
0.01*0.01*0.99
Two failling, each with 0.01 probability, and 1 working, with 0.99 probability.
All three:
Each with 0.01 probability.
a) What is the probability that the system will collapse
Both cases, so

0.000298 = 0.0298% probability that the system will collapse
___-1=10-3
x-1=10-3
x-1=7
x=8
therefore the blank is 8
Sorry if my handwriting sloppy.
I showed all of it step by step.
Answer:
The solutions are x = -4 and x = 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving a quadratic equation:
We have to find x for which
.
In this question:

So




The solutions are x = -4 and x = 4.
