Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\dfrac{9^{36}}{9^3}=9^{33}\to\mathbb{B)}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Use}\ \dfrac{a^n}{a^m}=a^{n-m},\ \text{for}\ a\neq0.\\\\\text{We have}\ \dfrac{9^{36}}{9^3}=9^{36-3}=9^{33}$

Suppose the life of a particular brand of laptop battery is normally distributed with a mean of 8 hours and a standard deviation

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

4.75% probability that the battery will last more than 9 hours before running out of power

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 8, \sigma = 0.6$

What is the probability that the battery will last more than 9 hours before running out of power g

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 9. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{9 - 8}{0.6}$

$Z = 1.67$

$Z = 1.67$ has a pvalue of 0.9525

1 - 0.9525 = 0.0475

4.75% probability that the battery will last more than 9 hours before running out of power

kyle models a sum of two integers. he uses more negative (red) counters than postive (yellow) counters. what do you predict abou

Firdavs [7]

the sign would probably be a negative. imagine this - - - - - - and then + + +, cancel out the negatives and plus then you are left with more negatives than positive so the sign will take the negative sign.

Find all pairs of real numbers (a,b) such that (x-a)^2+(2x-b)^2=(x-3)^2+(2x)^2

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

$(3,0)$

$(\frac{-9}{5},\frac{12}{5})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's expand both sides.

I'm going to use the following identity to expand the binomial squared expressions: $(u+v)^2=u^2+2uv+v^2$ or $(u-v)^2=u^2-2uv+v^2$ .

Left-hand side:

$(x-a)^2+(2x-b)^2$

$(x^2-2ax+a^2)+((2x)^2-2b(2x)+b^2)$

$x^2-2ax+a^2+4x^2-4bx+b^2$

Reorder so $x^2$ 's are together and that $x[tex]'s are together.[tex](x^2+4x^2)+(-2ax-4bx)+(a^2+b^2)$

$5x^2+(-2a-4b)x+(a^2+b^2)$

Right-hand side:

$(x-3)^2+(2x)^2$

$x^2-2(3)x+9+4x^2$

$x^2-6x+9+4x^2$

Reorder so $x^2$ 's are together and that $x[tex]'s are together.[tex](x^2+4x^2)+(-6x)+9$

$5x^2-6x+9$

Now let's compare both sides.

If we want both sides to appear exactly the same we need to choose values $a$ and $b$ such the following are true equations:

$-2a-4b=-6$

$a^2+b^2=9$

So if we solve the system we can find the values $a$ and $b$ such that the left=right.

Let's solve the first equation for $a$ in terms of $b$ .

Add $2a$ on both sides:

$-4b=-6+2a$

Divide both sides by -4:

$b=\frac{-6+2a}{-4}$

Reduce (divide top and bottom by -2):

$b=\frac{3-a}{2}$

Now let's plug this into second equation:

$a^2+b^2=9$

$a^2+(\frac{3-a}{2})^2=9$

$a^2+\frac{9-6a+a^2}{4}=9$ (I used the identity $(u-v)^2=u^2-2uv+v^2$ )

Multiply both sides by 4 to clear the fractions from the problem:

$4a^2+(9-6a+a^2)=36$

Combine like terms on left hand side:

$4a^2+a^2-6a+9=36$

$5a^2-6a+9=36$

Subtract 36 on both sides:

$5a^2-6a-27=0$

Now let's try to factor.

We are going to try to find two numbers that multiply to be 5(-27) and add to be -6.

5(-27)=(5*3)(-9)=15(-9)=-15(9) while -15+9=-6.

So let's replace $-6a$ with $-15a+9a$ and factor by grouping.

$5a^2-15a+9a-27=0$

$5a(a-3)+9(a-3)=0$

$(a-3)(5a+9)=0$

This implies $a-3=0$ or $5a+9=0$ .

Solving the first is easy. Just ad 3 on both sides to get: $a=3$ .

The second requires two steps. Subtract 9 and then divide by 5 on both sides.

$5a=-9$

$a=\frac{-9}{5}$ .

So let's go back to finding $b$ now that we know the $a$ values.

If $a=3$ and $b=\frac{3-a}{2}$ ,

then $b=\frac{3-3}{2}=0$ .

So one ordered pair $(a,b)$ that satisfies the equation is:

$(3,0)$ .

If $a=\frac{-9}{5}$ and $b=\frac{3-a}{2}$ ,

then $b=\frac{3-\frac{-9}{5}}{2}$ .

Let's multiply top and bottom by 5 to clear the mini-fraction.

$b=\frac{15-(-9)}{10}$

$b=\frac{24}{10}$

$b=\frac{12}{5}$

So one ordered pair $(a,b)$ that satisfies the equation is:

$(\frac{-9}{5},\frac{12}{5})$ .
