Answer:

97.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three bulbs be A, B and C respectively.

Let P(A) denote the probability that the first bulb will burn out

Let P(B) denote the probability that the second bulb will burn out

Let P(C) denote the probability that the third bulb will burn out

Now, we are told that Each one has a 30% probability of burning out within the month.

Thus;

P(A) = P(B) = P(C) = 30% = 0.3

Now, probability that at the end of the month at least one of the bulbs will be lit will be given as;

P(at least one bulb will be lit) = 1 - (P(A) × P(B) × P(C))

P(at least one bulb will be lit) = 1 - (0.3 × 0.3 × 0.3) = 0.973 = 97.3%

Find the center and radius of x^2 – 18x + y^2 -10y = -6. part two write x2 – 18x + y2 -10y = -6 in standard form
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

I will begin with part two, first.

The equation of a circle in standard form is

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the centre and r is the radius.

Given

x² - 18x + y² - 10y = - 6

Using the method of completing the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x/ y terms )² to both sides

x² + 2(- 9)x + 81 + y² + 2(- 5)y + 25 = - 6 + 81 + 25, that is

(x - 9)² + (y - 5)² = 100 ← in standard form

with centre = (9, 5 ) and r = \sqrt{100} = 10
