Probability that both roads from a to b are blocked is the product of the individual probabilities, i.e.
P(~ab)=0.25*0.25=0.0625
Similarly
P(~bc)=0.25*0.25=0.0625
Probability that EITHER one or both of ab and bc are blocked is the sum of the probabilities:
P(~ab ∪ ~bc)=0.0625+0.0625=0.125
(recall that one cannot travel from a to c if either ab or bc is blocked.)
Therefore the probability that there exists an open route from a to c
= P(ac) = 1-P(~ab ∪ ~bc)
= 1 - 0.125
=0.875
1.) The interval of the value of x is from -5 to 1, inclusive. Remember that what is asked is the absolute value, thus the sign does not matter even if you have to subtract x from 5. Thus, the maximum value would be obtained if the x is smaller, which is 1. The minimum value is obtained when x=-5.
Absolute maximum value:
x = - 5f(-5) = ║5 - 7(-5)^2║ = ║-170║=
170Absolute minimum value:
x = 1f(1) = ║5 - 7(1)^2║ = ║-2║=

2.) The Mean Value Theorem (MVT) applies to functions that are continuous and differentiable on the closed and open interval of a to b, respectively. Since the function is a quadratic function, MVT can be applied. Then, this means that there is a value of c which is between a and b. This could be determined using this formula according to MVT:

The differentiated form would be f'(x) = -2x. Then,


Thus, x = -1, x = -1/2, and x=0 all lie in the function 4-x^2.
