$p^2=-3p+40\\
p^2+3p-40=0\\
p^2+8p-5p-40=0\\
p(p+8)-5(p+8)=0\\
(p-5)(p+8)=0\\
p=5 \vee p=-8

The isotope cobalt-60 has a nuclear mass of 59.933820 u

Lesechka [4]

Cobalt has an atomic number (Z) of 27, which means the nuclei of all its isotopes have 27 protons. Cobalt 60 has an atomic mass of 60, so it has 60-27 = 33 neutrons.

The mass of 27 isolated protons plus the mass of 33 isolated neutrons would be:

27*(1.007825 u) + 33*(1.008665 u) = 60.497220 u

The actual mass of the nucleus of 60-Co is 59.933820 u.

Mass defect: 60.497220 u - 59.933820 u = 0.563400 u

The mass defect is equal to the binding energy of a nucleus.
using the fact that 1 u = 931.5 MeV/c^2

(0.563400 u)*(931.5 MeV/u) = 524.807 MeV

The life, in years, of a certain type of electrical switch has an exponential distribution with an average life β=44. If 100 o

Bond [772]

Answer:

0.9999

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the random variable that measures the time that a switch will survive.

If X has an exponential distribution with an average life β=44, then the probability that a switch will survive less than n years is given by

$\bf P(X$

So, the probability that a switch fails in the first year is

$\bf P(X$

Now we have 100 of these switches installed in different systems, and let Y be the random variable that measures the the probability that exactly k switches will fail in the first year.

Y can be modeled with a binomial distribution where the probability of “success” (failure of a switch) equals 0.0225 and

$\bf P(Y=k)=\binom{100}{k}(0.02247)^k(1-0.02247)^{100-k}$

where

$\bf \binom{100}{k}$ equals combinations of 100 taken k at a time.

The probability that at most 15 fail during the first year is

$\bf \sum_{k=0}^{15}\binom{100}{k}(0.02247)^k(1-0.02247)^{100-k}=0.9999$
